Usage

Basic instructions for using the Islandora module can be found in Chapter 3 - Getting Started with Islandora

Configuration

Configuration options for the Islandora module can be found on your site at http://path.to.your.site/admin/islandora/configure, and includes the following options:

General Configuration

• The Fedora Base URL is the path to the Fedora webapp on your Tomcat (or other) server. On a default installation, this will be http://localhost:8080/fedora; if your port or path were changed during installation, these will need to be corrected to reflect that.
• The Root Collection PID is the Persistent Identifier fedora will use for your root collection. This may not need to be changed.
• UUID PID Generation adds the option to generate Fedora object PIDs with v4 UUIDs.

Namespaces

It may be convenient to set up namespace restrictions on your site - for example, to prevent sharing of objects across multiple sites using the same installation. Restrictions entered can use the following formats:

• Use namespace: to add access to all of the objects using the namespace: PID
• Use namespace:object to allow access to a specific object
