Digital Preservation

Digital archiving and digital asset management enables you to preserve, describe and index images, audio, video, text and other organizational material.

Information about information

Metadata may include information about the material's author, date collected, brief description about the material or even the licensing requirements for obtaining and using the material in different applications.

Digital Asset Management Systems

A good DAMS should also provide you with powerful indexing capabilities so you can quickly and easily retrieve your archived material, workflow management to allow you to manage the addition of multiple items and metadata in a controlled and consistent way, as well as the ability to expand and customize the metadata you are using to describe your material.

Introducing DSpace

DSpace is a free and open source system that provides a platform for archiving, preserving and managing various organizational material. Through the use of the Dublin Core standard, DSpace can provide out-of-the-box storage for generic digital material such as video, audio, images and text, whilst also being flexible enough to store other information formats whether they be customized or an industry standard.

Save money, save time

DSpace is free and open source software; not only free to modify and improve to meet the needs of your organization but also free of any complicated licensing costs; and Wijiti continues to keep costs low by providing quality, cost-effective service and support for all your DSpace requirements.

How do I get started?

Wijiti provides affordable service and support to organizations interested in rolling out DSpace, whether it be a basic installation or full digital archiving solution. We can assist your organization with customization and theme development, multilingualism and data migration to new or existing DSpace systems.

Content Management Integration

Wijiti is working hard to integrate DSpace with leading open source content management systems. We have already relased Joomla!-based extensions for displaying digital assets and there are plans underway to support Drupal.
