The Islandora Module

The Islandora module is a Drupal module written to allow the Drupal content management system to act as a front end to a Fedora Digital Repository. The module enables viewing and management of Fedora objects. This includes ingest, purge, add Datastream, searching and browsing by collection. This version of the module does not store any data regarding any of the Fedora Objects in the Drupal database. The only data stored in Drupal is the configuration data telling Drupal how to connect to Fedora.
