Hydra/Islandora Interoperability
Interoperability between Hydra and Islandora (in the context of Fedora 4) is a high priority for community members across the three projects. The Portland Common Data Model is driving this interoperability at the data modelling level, and most recently, a Hylandora day was held at Islandora Camp Connecticut to discuss how to develop common services. Examples included derivative generation (e.g. image thumbnails, video access copies), OCR text extraction, technical metadata extraction, and batch importing. More information is available on the Islandora website.
