Collection Manager
For the management of your collection.
Collection Publisher
The foundation for Collection Manager is the Collection Publisher module, but extended with input and edit buttons. All data on the detail page can now be modified.
The input and edit button turns your publication system into a collection management system with a single click. Several additional buttons are automatically enabled after you log in with a username and password if the login credentials give you the right to enter or edit data.
Permanent Identifiers
Permanent identifiers, such as ARK (Archival Resource Key), are keys that give objects in a collection a unique and lasting identification. This means that an object can always be found, even if systems or web addresses change.
The use of permanent identifiers helps to keep collections accessible and findable. Additionally, they make it easy to keep links to objects consistent and reliable, which is especially important for museums and archives.

Compatible with the Dutch Digital Heritage Network
Our software is designed to connect to the infrastructure of the Dutch Digital Heritage Network (NDE). This means collections can be made findable and accessible across institutional boundaries, without requiring a complex integration process.
Our software supports the five steps the NDE describes: durable identifiers, standardised terms via the Network of Terms, linked open data, sharing images via IIIF, and registering your dataset in the Dataset Register. All built in as standard.

Integrated Thesaurus and Validation Files
When data is stored in a database, it is important that this is done with consistent terminology. The same keywords must be used to describe the same objects. For this, a structured dictionary, or 'thesaurus' is used. The Collection Manager software has the thesaurus and validation files built-in, and your input is checked directly and automatically. This can even be done in multiple languages.
In the same dialog, you can also consult and link to terms from the NDE Network of Terms.
Automatic Adjustment to Your Device
The software automatically adapts to the dimensions of your device's screen. An optimal layout is chosen automatically for each screen size. As a result, you can use the software on any device: PC, Mac, Tablet, or even your phone.
This is called “responsive design.”
No licensing fees
Because our software is open source, we do not charge any licensing fees. You are free to use, modify, and install the system yourself at no additional cost.
Would you prefer us to handle the installation or configuration, or do you have specific requirements? We'd be happy to provide a tailored quote for implementation, hosting, support, maintenance, or custom development. Above all, we enjoy working with users to continue improving our products.
Built with C#, Blazor and open standards
Our software is written in C# and uses Microsoft’s Blazor technology, combined with a relational database for stable and reliable data storage.
The system runs entirely in the browser and does not require installation on your device. It can be hosted by us, by a third party, or on your own infrastructure.
