Mukurtu

Mukurtu is a content management system developed by Washington State University to serve as a repository for Indigenous communities to manage, share, and exchange their digital heritage in culturally relevant and ethically minded ways. Mukurtu has innovated significantly in developing access-oriented metadata that goes beyond typical OA ideals to support fine-grained Traditional Knowledge access protocols.
