This module allows you to add person, place, event, and organization entities to an Islandora repository. Entities These entities are small, metadata-based repository objects that can be used for consistent use of names throughout the repository (name authority control) and to build departmental directories or faculty profiles to work with the Islandora Scholar institutional repository module. A number of forms and additional features are provided in this module for those building an institutional repository with Islandora.

Metadata

Entities can be created in one of two metadata formats: Metadata Authority Description Schema (MADS) or Encoded Archival Context - Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAD-CPF). Much of the functionality for batch ingest and autocomplete (to use entities as authority objects) centres around uses the MADS forms provided with the module. . EAC-CPF forms are also provided.

Thumbnails

 Custom thumbnails can be added via the manage tab to ingested Events, Places, and Organizations. When creating People entities, a thumbnail can be added at time of object creation. If the thumbnail is not added afterward for the Events, Places, and Organizations Entities, the default icon is the folder icon used for collections.

Entity Content Model

Objects ingested under Events, Places, Organization and People content models are also affiliated with the generic "Entity" content model provided with the solution pack. To use the Entity content model to create entities in a collection, you must add it to the collection policy in the collection's Manage tab, and associate an appropriate form with entities in the Islandora Forms module administration.
