CultURIze

This is the GitHub repository for CultURIze.

About

CultURIze is a four-step process to make persistent URI's for collection items, using a spreadsheet to record persistent URI's, a desktop app to turn it in a .htaccess (apache) or redirect configuration (nginx) file, and a Github repository to automate the deployment of apache based system for persistent URI's.

CultURIze is made for registrars, curators and managers of small to medium heritage collections.

More information about inspiration, governance, and howto's for setting up a Culturize workflow are available on the Wiki

CultURIze relies on

• a webserver: Apache or Nginx
• git, git can be used to track the history of the persistent URI'sapplications.
• GitHub, we push the persistent URI's through GitHub API calls to a public or private GitHub repository.
• Electron to build cross platform applications.
