Digital Archiving Systems cannot simply be installed and immediately used, as we do with standard commercial software. This is because any Digital Archiving System needs to be “instructed” on each and every aspect of its operations. Based on our requirements, we need to set the parameters in the system, create or design databases within it, create links between data and metadata, etc. Providing these “instructions” to our software might require anything from simply filling an electronic form or choosing an option from a drop-down menu to needing to use computer coding and other advanced IT skills.
