Artefactual Systems is the lead developer of the open source applications AtoM and Archivematica. AtoM allows for standards-based archival description and access in a multilingual, multi-repository environment. Archivematica supports digital preservation workflows based on the OAIS reference model. Both applications are web-based and follow best practices like using standards and being language-agnostic. Artefactual takes a community-based approach to development and offers additional paid services while their core applications remain free and open source.

- 6. What is Open Source? Open Source Software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. -- Wikipedia, Oct 13 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software

- 8. A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms: 1. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0). 2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. 3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). 4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

- 9. Our Development Priorities Free and open source Standards-based Generalized for broad use
- 10. Our Development Approach • Standards-based / follows best practices • Open source / Creative Commons • Multilingual support whenever possible • Generalize specific use cases • Include all features in public release • Iterative development via multiple contributions over subsequent releases Community-based Development
- 11. Our Business Model The “Bounty Model” of Open Source Business • Maintain our applications under A-GPLv3 licenses • Provide and maintain the documentation under CC-BY-SA licenses • Produce additional resources (e.g. videos, presentations, webinars) whenever possible • Participate actively in the user forums • Offer additional paid services • Always include development in public project
- 12. Our Services • Hosting • Remote technical maintenance • Consultation • Data migration • Training • Application theming • Software development https://www.artefactual.com/services/
- 13. Our Applications https://www.accesstomemory.org Web based application for standards-based description and access in a multilingual, multi-repository environment Web based application to support digital preservation workflows based on the OAIS reference model https://www.archivematica.org
- 14. Our ApplicationsYour Because the code is open to inspection, any member of the community can fix problems, or develop new features and contribute code back. For any given problem, the community can troubleshoot it together. We pull requests!
- 15. Web based: Once installed, you only need a modern web browser and an internet connection to connect to the application from anywhere Standards-based: AtoM implements existing national and international archival content and metadata transmission standards and best practices, so your data is standards compliant and interoperable Multilingual: Supports translations of both content and user interface elements, can be used as a multilingual catalogue Multi-repository: Can be used as a portal site, content aggregator, or union catalogue to provide access to content from multiple institutions What is AtoM? AtoM stands for Access to Memory It is a web-based, open source application for standards-based archival description and access in a multilingual, multi-repository environment.
- 16. So far, this approach has worked, and the AtoM project has a vibrant international community of users. This map shows all the different locales where AtoM has been installed, up to version 2.1 – and these are just the places we know of.AtoMinstallations 1 pin per installation location; only up to v2.1
- 17. What is Archivematica? Web- and standards-based open-source application which allows your institution to preserve long-term access to trustworthy, authentic and reliable digital content. -- Archivematica website, Oct 13 2016 https://www.archivematica.org/
