The catalogue of OpenRiC Workspace Demonstration Archive

Archival management, built around context. OpenRiC Workspace is an archival management application built on Records in Contexts (RiC), the International Council on Archives' standard. Every unit of description, person, family, organisation, place and activity is a RiC entity with its own persistent IRI, and every relationship records who asserted it, when, and on what evidence.

This is the public catalogue of the demonstration Workspace. Browse the collections, open any description to see the people and places around it, and follow the links into the relationship graph in 2D or 3D. Everything published here is also open as RiC-O through the OpenRiC API and OAI-PMH.

Archivists describe in ISAD(G), ISAAR(CPF) and ISDIAH, import from AtoM CSV and EAD, attach images, documents and 3D models. The code is open source: https://github.com/openric/workspace

980 archival descriptions, 4418 people, families and organisations, 0 activities and 2779 places are published here, described in Records in Contexts.
