REAP/RAMP

REAP (Repository for Electronic Archiving and Publishing) is the archive of SIL International. RAMP (Resource and Metadata Packager) is the desktop tool for adding metadata and submitting archive packages to REAP.

REAP is an access protocol option you can choose.

Access choices it provides:

  • Entity curators - Restricts access to REAP curators of the entity collections; no redistribution is permitted.

  • Entity - Restricts access to only member of the entity staff;
    no
    redistribution is permitted.

  • Insite users - Allows access by registered Insite users with no public redistribution allowed except by official, written permission.

  • Strategic partners - Allows access by registered Insite users and sharing with specific global partners privately.

  • Public - Material may be distributed/published/posted for public consumption.

Important

  • The RAMP package filename is <title>.ramp. For the filename, any spaces and punctation are removed from the session title.

  • Curators can reject in-process submissions and withdraw (hide from view) accepted items. They check the access level you select and communicate with you if this differs from the default. Entities have the final say regarding assess.
