We've been working on extending Access to Memory (AtoM) to serve the broader GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) and Digital Asset Management needs. Here's what we've built so far.

---

Multi-Sector Support (GLAM/DAM)

The core innovation. AtoM traditionally serves archives using ISAD(G). We've extended it to support multiple descriptive standards in one installation:

• Archives - ISAD(G), RAD, DACS, Dublin Core
• Libraries - MARC-inspired bibliographic records with ISBN lookup
• Museums - CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects) and Spectrum 5.0 procedures
• Galleries - Exhibition and artwork cataloging
• DAM - IPTC/XMP metadata for digital assets and photographs

Each record can use its own descriptive standard. The system auto-detects which template to display based on the record's assigned type.

---

AI Tools

Practical AI assistance for archival work:

• Extract Entities (NER) - Automatically identify people, places, organisations from descriptions
• Generate Summary - Create concise summaries of lengthy descriptions
• Translate - Translation with fine-tuning for archival terminology
• Review Dashboard - Manage and approve AI-generated suggestions

In Development:

• Extract All (HTR) - Handwritten text recognition
• Extract Dates - Identify and normalise date references
• Extract Digits - Pull out reference numbers, identifiers
• Extract Letters - Character recognition from documents

---

Privacy & PII Protection

Tools for managing sensitive personal information:

• Scan for PII - Detect personal identifiable information in descriptions
• Visual Redaction - Redact sensitive content from digital objects
• Privacy Dashboard - Overview of privacy-related items requiring attention

---

Rights Management

Extended rights handling beyond core AtoM:

• Add Extended Rights - RightsStatements.org, Creative Commons, Traditional Knowledge labels
• Edit Embargo - Set and manage access restrictions with dates
• Lift Embargo - Workflow for releasing restricted content
• Export Rights (JSON-LD) - Machine-readable rights export

---

Collections Management

For GLAM/DAM tracking physical collections:

• Condition Assessment - Standardised scoring, photo documentation, treatment history
• Spectrum 5.0 Data - Object entry, loans, acquisition, location control, inventory
• Cite this Record - Generate citations in multiple formats

---

Security Clearance System

For institutions dealing with restricted records:

• Security classification levels (Unclassified, Restricted, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret)
• User clearance assignments
• Automatic filtering - users only see records at or below their clearance level
• Works across search, browse, and direct access

---

Research Portal

For institutions that manage researcher access:

• Reading room booking system
• Researcher registration and approval workflow
• Access request management
• Research workspace for saving items and notes
• Visit scheduling

---

Audit Trail

Full audit logging for compliance requirements:

• Tracks all user actions (view, edit, delete, download)
• Authentication logging
• Configurable retention periods
• Export capabilities for compliance reporting

---

Donor Agreement Management

Track donation agreements and their terms:

• Donor records linked to collections
• Agreement documents with expiry tracking
• Restriction management (access conditions, publication rights)
• Reminder system for expiring agreements

---

Display 3D objects directly in the browser:

• Supports GLB/GLTF formats
• Interactive viewer with zoom, rotate, pan
• Thumbnail generation for 3D files
• Works with museum objects, architectural models, archaeological finds

---

Data Migration Tools

Import and export in multiple formats:

• ISAD(G) CSV import/export
• Dublin Core
• EAD XML
• Sector-specific formats (CCO, MARC)

---

Backup & Restore

Built-in backup management:

• Scheduled database backups
• Digital object backup
• One-click restore
• Backup verification

---

Bootstrap 5 Theme

Modern, responsive interface:

• Mobile-friendly design
• Accessibility improvements
• Customisable branding
• Dark mode support

---

API Access

RESTful API for integration:

• Read/write access to records
• Webhook support
• Rate limiting
• API key management

• PHP 8.3, MySQL 8, Elasticsearch
• Laravel Query Builder integrated with Symfony 1.x
• Modular plugin architecture - enable only what you need
