While you can use Supplejack for any structured or semi-structured digital information, it’s designed for cultural heritage assets. As a result, galleries, libraries, archives and museums can use it out of the box. And because it’s open source you can customise it to suit.
Supplejack works by harvesting, transforming and presenting the information used to describe, represent and categorise the assets: the metadata.
When assets live in different systems, the metadata is usually structured in different ways. Aggregating this metadata into a consistent search index means you can make it easier for users to find and engage with the digital collections.
The Supplejack manager dashboard lets you:
You can harvest the records in a range of formats including XML, HTML, RSS, JSON, OAI-PMH and RDF/XML.
Using the Supplejack API, you can:
You can combine, transform and standardise your metadata into a consistent schema.

Supplejack comes with a customisable search website. This makes it easy for your users to find and engage with the collection items that interest them.
