Overview
The iDigBio Media Appliance is a cross-platform local web app that is used to upload media files from a local computer environment into iDigBio storage where the media become available on the public Internet.
The iDigBio Media Appliance fills the gap when an institution is not capable of publishing and hosting media on the Internet themselves.
- Documentation for the iDigBio Media Appliance is located in the media appliance project wiki on github.
The following historical links and background documents may also be useful:
- iDigBio recommendations for media (PDF)
- CYberinfrastructure Working Group (CYWG) meeting presentation slides (PDF)
- CYWG iDigBio Image Ingestion Appliance Use Cases - elaborates on use cases for the image ingestion appliance; community input is welcome to help refine and expand the list of use cases.
Download Links
Get the image ingestion appliance from iDigBio's latest github release.
What do I need to provide?
The appliance requires the following:
- A computer that meets the System Requirements as listed in the "Installing" documentation.
- An iDigBio account with corresponding UUID and assigned API key
- A set of media files residing on your local disk that are compliant with the iDigBio Recommendations on Acceptable Formats for iDigBio-hosted Media (PDF)
