Digital Archives & Museums

Today’s Archives and Museums want to have scalable and open standards digital platform for publishing rare artifacts online in an easy to understand manner. While a Digital Archives solution may sound like any other digital repository solution, there are key elements that distinguish it from a basic DSpace digital library solution.

Some of unique requirements for Digital Archives & Museums are:

• Server based streaming solution for storing and Publishing rich media contents like high resolution images, audio, videos etc.
• Browser based batch data uploading in DSpace
• Profiling of various elements connected with any object
• Developing relationship between different objects uploaded in DSpace repository
• Integration of OCR solution for extracting full text from digitized images loaded in
• Allowing users to leave inputs in terms of tags or user comments and rating contents for continuous improvement of repository
• Providing integrated data analytics in form of various data cuts and MI Reports to repository managers and users
• Data exchange with other platforms based on different standards i.e. OAI-PMH, REST APIs, RSS feeds etc.
• Compliance with standards like GDPR and OWASP standards in DSpace.
