RunCoCo Web Software

Used during the Great War Archive Initiative, RunCoCo (Run a Community Collection) is a Ruby on Rails web application used to collect and catalogue content contributed by website users. That content can be either textual or consist of uploaded files with metadata collected via form fields. The quality assessment of contributions was performed by administrators adding metadata and marking suitable items as "approved". The application provides an interface for publicly exposing the catalogued contributions. You are free to extend the application to suit your needs, or export the data for re-use in other applications.

RunCoCo was further developed in 2010 by the RunCoCo project to provide a web interface for searching and browsing approved contributions.
