Milli IAW 2021 invite for FOSS community

The Milli Consortium is a not-for-profit network of individuals and communities interested in the nurturing of archives. Milli helps individuals and institutions to build and sustain archives. It facilitates discussions among the community around issues of diversity, archival standards, conservation, physical and digital access, pedagogy, privacy and the development of inclusive description standards. More here: https://www.milli.link/about/. Ours is a small team of archivists, designers, developers, and semantic web researchers.

We are currently working on rolling out a prototype of our archival discovery-interpretation-narration platform.

• niosX is an adaptable backend (GNU GPL License), capable of serving any application that manages highly connected data, modelled using W3C Annotation Data Model. We overlay a semantic layer of NiosxConcepts over the annotation data model to capture the structure of an application in any given context. Checkout wiki for more on architecture, design and specification https://notabug.org/prasoon/niosx/wiki
