Building an Open-Core Product Model
FY 2026-27 · 2026-04-01
Summary
Build a “new home” for the Islandora community members that have basic open repository requirements, limited technical resources and limited budgets. Almost every current implementation of Islandora in existence would be on a separate codebase and hosted on a different infrastructure. Therefore, this initiative needs to be flexible to accommodate many different use cases, object types and code bases in a cost-effective manner.

Description
Build a “new home” for the Islandora community members that have basic open repository requirements, limited technical resources and limited budgets. Almost every current implementation of Islandora in existence would be on a separate codebase and hosted on a different infrastructure. Therefore, this initiative needs to be flexible to accommodate many different use cases, object types and code bases in a cost-effective manner.
Description (French)
Construire un « nouveau foyer » pour les membres de la communauté Islandora qui ont des besoins de base en matière de référentiel ouvert, mais disposent de ressources techniques et de budgets limités. Presque toutes les implémentations actuelles d’Islandora reposent sur une base de code distincte et sont hébergées sur une infrastructure différente. Par conséquent, cette initiative doit faire preuve de flexibilité pour s’adapter à de nombreux cas d’utilisation, types d’objets et bases de code différents, et ce de manière rentable.
