ISAD(G)General International Standard Archival Description
Our Item and Fonds modules are shaped around the seven ISAD(G) areas: identity, context, content, condition, allied materials, notes, and description control.
- Reference code, title, dates, level of description, extent
- Name of creator linked to authority records
- Scope and content, arrangement, and appraisal notes
- Access, reproduction, and language conditions
Dublin CoreDCMI metadata terms
Every published record can be expressed as Dublin Core for discovery, harvesting, and cross-repository search.
- 15 core elements plus extended DCMI terms
- Exposed via the live OAI-PMH harvesting endpoint
- Exposed via API for third-party discovery tools
MARC21MARC 21 bibliographic format
For institutions with library-integrated workflows, we support MARC-style export for catalog sync.
- Leader, control fields, and common data fields
- Round-trippable with LOC authority files
- Subject heading mapping to LCSH (planned)
PREMISPreservation metadata
Every file and derivative carries PREMIS-style preservation metadata: events, agents, rights, and fixity.
- Fixity (SHA-256) on every stored object
- Event log for ingest, migration, and normalization
- Rights and agents tracked for audit
ARK / DOIPersistent identifiers
Mint an ARK or DOI on publish so a record stays citable for decades — even if your URL scheme, your department, or your domain changes.
- Per-tenant configuration: ARK NAAN or DataCite DOI prefix
- Identifier minted automatically on first publish
- Resolver endpoint preserves every published version
- Identifiers travel with EAD, MARC21, and Dublin Core exports
