Aalto Repository
Benefits and background objectives
- Ensure authenticity and usability of digital objects across time and technical environments
- Preserving and showcasing creative and practice-based learning and research
- Convenient manual and automated workflows for audiovisual media and administrative data through integrations
As for today, there has not been systematic processes or a repository system capable of preserving and showcasing digital content in variety formats. Aalto Repository will create capabilities to manage and make use of the university's valuable digital assets. The university has a legal obligation for archiving and accessing digital objects of long-term value.
To improve the collection and curation of digital content we will need to develop also the workflows and processes that produce the original data, f.e. current submission processes for theses, showcasing artistic works and research outputs. Through integrations the repository will be the back-bone for the persistent accessibility, online visibility and showcase of creative and practice-based learning and research.
Storage, access and reuse
The aim is to build a seamless workflow between storage and access.
All members of Aalto community should be able to submit media and data for preservation, showcase and future access.
