[Astra] Submission Application
(
)
The ASTRA application is the main agency - archives collaboration tool of the NAE. It is a web-based solution that has two main components: a) supporting the appraisal and classification; b) controlling digital submissions. The submission control component is able to reuse the archival schema created within the classification component; add digital content to relevant classes, carry out quality assurance steps, and create a SIP for submission to the NAE digital preservation system. As ASTRA is a web-based solution, NAE and agency archivists can work together in regard to solving specific issues with the submission.
