Knora is a software framework for storing, sharing, and working with primary sources and data in the humanities.
Knora keeps data accessible and reusable, even as technologies change.
Anything in Knora can be annotated, cited, published as Linked Open Data, and reused in new research.
Search for relationships between text, metadata, annotations, markup, links, and more.
When data changes, Knora preserves past versions, so you can still view and cite them.
You decide who can view and change data in your project.
Use Salsah, or build your own research enviornment using Knora's API.
A Knora repository is a place for doing research. Knora can store texts, images, audio and video recordings, metadata, annotations, text markup, and any other data created by humanities research. It is designed for long-term preservation, and at the same time it provides powerful tools for searching, annotating, extending, linking, sharing, and reusing data.
With Knora, you can search for and link data across projects, search for dates in one calendar and find corresponding dates in other calendars, link a word in a text to an annotation of part of an image, and search for text markup across large numbers of texts.

See the release and closed tickets on the v1.6.0 milestone on Github.
A project is now required to have at least one description, so potentially a description will need to be added to those projects that don’t have one.

Every ontology must now have the property knora-base:attachedToProject, which points to the IRI of the project that is responsible for the ontology. This must be added to each project-specific ontology in existing repositories. All built-in ontologies have been updated to have this property, and must, therefore, be reloaded into existing repositories.
The property knora-base:projectOntology has been removed, and must be removed from project definitions in existing repositories.
Every project now needs to have the property knora-base:projectShortcode set.
