An Attempt to Automate the Curation Process of Humanities Data Using Archivematica

This initiative focuses on automating the data curation process using Archivematica for the long-term utilization of research data in the humanities.
Archivematica (https://www.archivematica.org/en/) is an open-source application specialized in the long-term preservation of digital information, offering extensive capabilities such as the identification and conversion of various data formats, packaging data with hierarchical structures, and integration with various repository software (such as DSpace and Dataverse). This effort involves testing Archivematica's features using research data held by humanities institutions (such as the Historiographical Institute, The University of Tokyo) and private companies, to evaluate how Archivematica can contribute to the automation of data curation process, identify challenges in its application, and explore the system's potential for customization and expansion.
