Objective The objective of this project is to integrate a number of open source tools and applications to create a comprehensive digital archives system that is compliant with the ISO-OAIS standard and is able to implement format-specific preservation plans based on an analysis of significant properties. The Overview section provides a summary of Archivematica's functionality and technical architecture. The project is also trying to establish an agile development methodology to assist with the ongoing maintenance and development of the system. This methodology is focused on rapid, iterative release cycles, each of which improves upon the system's Requirements Software Documentation Open source The software applications integrated into Archivematica are each released under their own open source license. These are checked for license compatibility before they are integrated into the project. A full list of applications with their respective license is available on the software page. Any new software code created for the Archivematica project is released under a GPL version 2 license. All the system documentation found on this wiki is released under a Creative Commons license.
