AtoM Community Update: 2019-05
ATOM (Access to Memory) is an open source, web-based application designed for archival description and access in a multilingual, multi-repository environment. The latest version, 2.5, includes features such as markdown support, authority record updates, and a full bulk import/export interface, while future development aims to enhance capabilities through linked data integration and community collaboration. Ongoing discussions include project funding, governance, and technology evolution to address current limitations and support emerging standards.

- 33. AtoM3Planningmeeting,August2018 Proposal is tostart by seeking funding for Proof of Concept research to prove the value of 3 propositions: 1. We can convert AtoM2 data to linked data 2. LD will allow archivists to enrich their data in ways that are not possible with traditional data entry 3. LD will allow the federation of data from multiple points, making portal sites and union catalogues easier to create and richer in content This would allow for us to then build a prototype in a future project phase to test scalability and technical architecture assumptions
