Session: Making A DIFference: Drupal, Islandora, and Fedora Commons Integration [Drupal Track, Advanced Level]

DIF (Drupal, Islandora, Fedora Commons) is an integrated framework for bringing the power of digital repositories to the Drupal world. Using the Islandora module developed at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada, Drupal can be used as a front end to the Fedora Commons digital repository. This integration offers a powerful and compelling way to add a digital repository to the many other capabilities that Drupal brings to the table.
