I am very pleased to be able to share with you +the +announcement of a new version of the archiving system Nikita +published by its lead developer Thomas SÃ¸dring:

+ +

+ +
It is with great pleasure that we can announce a new release of +nikita. Version 0.6 +(https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core). This +release makes new record keeping functionality available. This really +is a maturity release. Both in terms of functionality but also code. +Considerable effort has gone into refactoring the codebase and +simplifying the code. Notable changes for this release include:
+ +
+ +
Significantly improved OData parsing
+
Support for business specific metadata and national identifiers
+
Continued implementation of domain model and endpoints
+
Improved testing
+
Ability to export and import from arkivstruktur.xml
+ +
+ +
We are currently in the process of reaching an agreement with an +archive institution to publish their picture archive using nikita with +business specific metadata and we hope that we can share this with you +soon. This is an interesting project as it allows the organisation to +bring an older picture archive back to life while using the original +metadata values stored as business specific metadata. Combined with +OData means the scope and use of the archive is significantly +increased and will showcase both the flexibility and power of +Noark.
+ +
I really think we are approaching a version 1.0 of nikita, even +though there is still a lot of work to be done. The notable work at +the moment is to implement access-control and full text indexing of +documents.
+ +
My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this +release!
+ +
