Electronic Data Interchange
for Archive Systems

Standardized, secure, and automated data exchange for researchers, institutions, and technology partners. Connect seamlessly with our 1990-era digital preservation pipeline.

Protocols & Formats

We support legacy and modern interchange standards to ensure compatibility across institutional and enterprise systems.

📦

ANSI X12 / EDIFACT

Traditional EDI transaction sets adapted for digital preservation workflows, including inventory requests and content delivery acknowledgments.

850 / ORDERS 856 / ASN 999 / TA1 D96A
🔐

AS2 & SFTP

Secure transmission protocols with end-to-end encryption, MDN receipts, and automated error handling for high-volume archive transfers.

AS2 v1.2 SHA-256 SFTP v3+ PGP/GPG

REST / JSON & XML

Modern API-driven interchange for real-time queries, metadata synchronization, and programmatic access to archived webpage snapshots.

OpenAPI 3.0 OAuth 2.0 Webhooks GraphQL

Integration Workflow

A structured 4-phase process to certify your system and begin automated archive data exchange.

01

Request & Credential

Submit an integration request. We provision AS2 certificates, SFTP keys, or API tokens within 24 hours.

02

Configuration & Mapping

Define transaction sets, field mappings, and routing rules using our partner configuration dashboard.

03

Sandbox Testing

Execute test cycles with simulated payloads. Validate syntax, security receipts, and error handling workflows.

04

UAT & Go-Live

Final user acceptance testing with production credentials. Monitor SLA compliance and switch to live processing.

EDI Sandbox & Test Suite

Before connecting to production, validate your integration in our isolated sandbox environment. Run syntax checks, security validation, and transaction cycle tests without affecting live archive operations.

  • Pre-configured test partners with automated MDN responses
  • Real-time syntax validation for X12, EDIFACT, and JSON/XML
  • Mock payloads for archive requests, metadata batches, and checksum verification
  • Detailed transaction logs and error code mapping documentation
