5minSee if there are any new responses to the  ArchivesSpace Integrations Information form  
10min

Response from Jason:

The particular integration I'm working on is fairly straightforward though I'm taking a bit of extra time to abstract and test the tool as much as possible. In a nutshell, the project attempts to answer a rather simple question: as an organization, how can we get our archival records to appear on our website in an automated fashion? I consult and develop primarily for very small arts organizations with a need to present selections from their archival collections in a meaningful way on a branded organization website. The Drupal 7 edition of this project is just out of prototype and there's a fair bit of work to bring it up to Drupal current coding standards. As you likely already aware, Drupal 8 was recently released which includes quite a few vendor tools for developing web service clients. As such, there will be much less overhead in issuing a Drupal 8 version of the tool. 

  
10minReview Tiers (try them out on existing examples) and Definition (A functional coupling between ArchivesSpace and another software application to act as a coordinated whole. Regardless of the sophistication of a particular integration (see Tiers), a defining characteristic of all integrations is communication, or data flow, between systems.)
