BINDER

Binder It is developed by Museum Of Modern Art and Artefactual Systems. Binder is an open-source web application for managing digital repositories. Binder is particularly adept at supporting the care, management, and preservation of complex digital collections such as time-based media and digital artworks.

If Archivematica produces is the Package, before packages are sent to “the warehouse,” Binder sifts through them, indexes their contents, and stores what it finds in a database that is built to be very good at queries across large sets of data. Binder allows us to see the bigger picture in our collection.

*Binder is not fully developed.

Requirements

At this time, Binder is not ready for use in a production environment, and still requires further development for the code to function in a development environment.

System Requirements

Usability

Binder is an open-source web application for managing digital repositories.

Usability

Administration

Binder’s dashboard currently includes a number of widgets providing analytics on collection size, growth, character, and activity. Making these widgets configurable, adding further options, and allowing users to better interact with the data displayed (including the ability to download and reuse it) would vastly increase the utility of the Binder dashboard across a broad set of use cases.

Administration

Content

Develop new tools, reports, and visualizations

Project Goal

Technical

Overview

Binder has been created by leveraging existing functionality from AtoM, and adding new functionality on top of it.

Technical Overview

Back to the Spectrum

Binder is yet under the development there is not much to review, however, once it gets built it would be one of the strongest reach and digitalizing museum program with Archivemata. It was an interesting Museum of Modern Art build a similar program but different style so users have more options.
