View
Viewing has its own terms.A person may view material for a named activity while every other operation remains a separate conversation.
Relationship gives the technology meaning.
Indigenous and non-Indigenous collaboration takes form through specific people, projects and places. The node keeps each purpose, relationship, permission and output visible through the work.
Different relationships remain visible together.
One interview, event, film or place record may carry individual, family, organisational, community and cultural relationships at the same time.
Living relationship
People connected to the activity bring context, standing, memory and interpretation.
Named purpose
Viewing, storage, transcription, model work, publication and retention remain separate choices.
Visible record
Custody, access period, attribution, review and withdrawal travel with the material.
One record. Six separate operations.
Every operation stays visible at once. A choice around viewing does not silently become storage, transcription, model work or publication.
Store
Storage names custody and duration.The record identifies working files, backups, logs, temporary copies, who holds them and when review returns.
Transcribe
Transcription creates a new record.Speech, names, language, context and corrections stay connected to contributors and the purpose of the project.
Model work
Inputs and outputs stay named.The project records source material, local processing, model artefacts, access, evaluation and selected outputs.
Publish
Publication selects a particular output.A public film, event listing or model view carries its source, contributors, credits, version and reuse terms.
Review
The relationship continues.People revisit access, purpose, corrections, retention and withdrawal as material and projects develop over time.
Questions that stay attached to material
Who is connected to it?
A file may carry individual, family, organisational, community and cultural relationships at once.
What purpose was agreed?
Viewing, preserving, teaching, transcribing and model training are separate uses.
Where does it live?
Local storage, backups, logs, temporary copies and external services all matter.
Who sees the record?
Access decisions, changes and exports need a history that relevant people understand.
What happens later?
Review dates, withdrawal pathways and deletion limits belong in the first conversation.
What remains human-held?
A project may record a direction or boundary while the knowledge itself stays in living relationship.
Guidance worth bringing into each project.
These public frameworks add practical questions about collective benefit, control, responsibility, ethics and research relationships. Each project still develops through its own people and context.
