Webform Strawberryfield Custom LoD Endpoints

Archipelago's 1.6.0+ release (December 2025) features a new functionality area for enabling custom LoD endpoints for Archipelago's AMI Linked Data Reconciliation process.

How to Use

Initial Setup

First, create a custom ADO using steps 1 and 2 outlined in Archipelago's 'Webform LoD from CSV attached to an ADO suggest' documentation guide. For the example screenshots shown below, the 'PB Core Asset Type' vocabulary was used.

Next, navigate to the Webform Strawberryfield Custom LoD endpoints entities page and select Add Custom LoD endpoint. Fill in the form as shown in the following screenshot, except reference the custom ADO you created in Step 1 under 'Choose an ADO' and be sure to use the column headings found in your custom ADO's associated CSV file. Be sure to Save your configuration form when you are ready.

Use in AMI Set LoD Reconciliation

Navigate to an AMI Set and select the 'Reconcile LoD' tab. You should now see your Custom LoD Endpoint listed under the 'LoD Authority Sources'.
