Evaluation of Open-source Software for Participatory Digital Archives: Understanding System Requirements for No Gun Ri Digital Archives

This paper reports the evaluation of six open-source software s ystems for participatory digital archives. This is an effort to create a digital platform for the social memory of No Gun Ri, which was first recognized in 1999 as a civilian massacre. The process of how it was reported and investigated i s critical to understanding this brutal incident. In addition, the course of its cultural recovery has witnessed the reconstru ction of the No Gun Ri memory. Thus, it is important to embrace the social memory around the massacre in these archives. In consideration of a virtual space for memory, this study takes the form of participatory archives to provide a mechanism in which anyone can share their memories. As a way to find a digital archives system for No Gun Ri, this study analyzed open-source software based on identified functions and requirements for participatory digital archives. Knowing the details of digital systems, this study discussed how contents for social memory can be stored and used in a digital system.
