Integration Partners

Updated

Any organization with a certified integration of Local Contexts API in their product workflows and systems to ensure ongoing trust in Local Context Labels and Notices.

The Integration Partner program (previously Service Provider program) is how you can learn how to use our APIs, provide input on our products and services, and communicate that your platform implementation of Local Contexts Labels and Notices meets community needs for trust and sustainability.  

Systems that operationalize the CARE Principles, including implementation of the Indigenous Metadata Bundle and display of Local Contexts Labels and Notices not only raise awareness of Indigenous data sovereignty but also provide a means to take meaningful and productive action.

Integration Partner benefits include:

  • Increased utility of your products by Local Contexts Members and Subscribers
  • Participation in Hub product development meetings
  • For those that complete our certification process, a listing on the Local Contexts website certifying compliance with Local Contexts integration standards.

Integration Partners are responsible for completing the Integration Partner Agreement, paying an annual fee, maintaining their Hub contact information, completing the certification process, updating their integration to meet API requirements, and ensuring their Hub account integrity.

Hub Account Types

An integration partner account is for organizations that offer platforms that can be used by users to organize or share collections or data. This includes collections management systems, digital asset management systems, repositories, and databases.

Integration Partner fees are based on our goals to balance staff effort with our goal of building connections and communities that further Indigenous data sovereignty. The Integration Partner fee is US$1500 per year.

All changes to fees are reviewed and approved by our Council, and per our Integration Partner Agreement, we will provide at least 60 days notice of any Agreement changes.

Integration Partner (previously Service Provider) Early Adopters

Early Adopters met with our team and other early adopters over the course of 3 months to review use cases, test our API, provide comments on our certification program, and receive guidance on their integrations. We appreciate their participation and input on the Integration Partner program!
