Impact

Priority and Funding

  • Normal priority
  • There is no specific funding for this project and all work will be done as BAU

Impact and Dependencies

  • The platform requires some content to be migrated through LUC074 before the soft launch
  • While most of the work will be undertaken by Digital Library staff, we are dependent on input from colleagues in Heritage Collections and other stakeholders to provide feedback as the platform develops
  • Although there is no formal support contract, and we are not reliant on them to build the Archipelago instance, there is a dependency on the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) and the active Archipelago open-source community should we require support with complex tasks and integrations.
