Entities Solution Pack

Overview

This module allows you to add entities of type person, place, event, and organization to an Islandora repository. Entities consist largely of metadata and custom thumbnails, and are used as authority records for the population of other forms. Entities can be batch uploaded. People comes with a default MADS and EACCPF form. Events have an EACCPF form.

Configuration

The autocomplete for the MADS forms requires solr values. A standard installation should include the transformations in basic-solr-config (example config from discoverygarden)

The link to the MADS transformation in foxmlToSolr.xslt must be uncommented. This will be either or depending on your installation.

The Solr field for searching entities and the entity collection are configurable at Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » Entities (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/entities).

Islandora Solr Metadata must be chosen as the default metadata display. This can be set at Administration » Islandora » Metadata Display (admin/islandora/metadata).

On installation, the module creates an entities collection, but not sub-collections to ingest person entities into.
