Community Digital Libraries

Community Digital Libraries support local data ownership, provenance, and changelogs.

What this is

Libraries are built around community governance rather than extraction. Each entry includes provenance, consent notes, and interpretive context so that data stays accountable to place.

The system protects narrative integrity while still supporting pilots and evaluation.

How we use it in pilots

  • Store datasets with versioned changelogs and provenance trails.
  • Attach consent and governance notes to every entry.
  • Share exports with clear ownership signals.

Keep data sovereignty intact
