Pocket Archive

The idea

Stick it in your pocket and carry it around. Install it on a cloud server. Install it on a Raspberry Pi. Browse it offline. Browse it online. Duplicate it, share it, harvest it and aggregate it. Feed it non-GMO spreadsheets regularly and it will thrive.

A more sensical description

Pocket Archive is a digital archival system and static site generator for small- to medium-(?) sized archives. It is designed to function in environments with unreliable connectivity and requires very low technical and human resources to set up, run, and use.

Pocket Archive fulfills the following functions:

  • Storage and management of files and metadata-only resources
  • Management of descriptive, administrative, and technical metadata
  • Dynamic relationships between resources
  • Static site generation (discovery interface)

In spite of its design simplicity, Pocket Archive strives to be highly flexible. It is based on Volksdata , a very compact Linked Data store and manipulation library. There is no restriction to the types and schema of metadata allowed, or the file types supported. A file-based configuration allows to set up content types and validation rules, or to have (almost) no rules at all.
