About P&A Projetos and Our Digital Repository
At P&A Projetos, we are professionals, developers, and researchers dedicated to fostering sociocultural, environmental, and economic sustainability. Our mission is to enhance organizations, communities, and institutions through access to information and the development of innovative tools for project management, research, and information preservation.
Our digital repository serves as a cornerstone for this mission, providing a platform that integrates tools and resources to support the creation, management, and dissemination of knowledge across various domains. This initiative stems from extensive research, starting with Master’s and Doctoral studies conducted by Luiz Carlos Flôres de Assumpção at the University of Brasília, under the guidance of Dr. André Porto Ancona Lopez, with CAPES scholarship support. The platform’s evolution has been enriched by contributions from renowned researchers, developers, and collaborators, forming a collective effort to deliver impactful solutions in Information Science and Technology.
What is a Digital Repository?
A digital repository is a structured platform that facilitates the storage, organization, and sharing of digital content. By employing advanced tools and frameworks, digital repositories preserve institutional collections, foster collaboration, and make information accessible to diverse audiences. Our repository leverages robust systems, including AtoM, Koha, Omeka, Moodle, and DSpace, to ensure the preservation and accessibility of valuable digital assets.
What We Offer
- Information Management: Tools to manage, preserve, and retrieve institutional collections.
- Research Support: Platforms like LimeSurvey for surveys and data collection, Moodle for training and e-learning, and Koha for library management.
- Digital Preservation: Cutting-edge technologies to ensure the longevity and accessibility of digital documents and records.
- Project Management: Integration of Dotproject for real-time project tracking and collaboration.
- Community Enhancement: Resources tailored to the needs of the business sector, third sector, cultural initiatives, and social enterprises.
Our Origins and Collaborations
The repository's foundation is rooted in academic rigor and collaborative innovation. It was shaped by:
- Research and Validation: Grounded in Assumpção's doctoral research on digital preservation, validated through Drª Mônica Regina Peres partnerships with Cariniana Network (IBICT) and the Faculty of Communication (UnB).
- Technological Expertise: Contributions from specialists such as Frank Lemos Costa, whose expertise in Cyber Defense and Software Engineering has bolstered our platform's technical backbone.
- Community Engagement: The dedicated involvement of students and alumni from Faculdade Jesus Maria José and other institutions, who played critical roles in platform development, field research, and social dissemination.
Why a Digital Repository?
Our repository bridges the gap between technology and societal needs. It empowers users to store, access, and share knowledge effectively, driving progress in areas such as digital preservation, education, and social development. With an emphasis on sustainability and collaboration, the repository embodies P&A Projetos' commitment to creating meaningful impacts in the digital age.
