ARK Alliance

Wrapping up 2022 with over 1000 ARK organizations

Distribution of 1000+ ARK organizations.

2022 has proven to be another banner year for the ARK Alliance. Some highlights:

  • We were thrilled in October this year to witness registration of the 1000th ARK organization, only 8 months after registration of the 900th organization.
  • It was a delight to welcome Donny Winston (Polyneme LLC), John Jung (University of Chicago), and Chloé Pochon (French National Institute of Art History) to the ARK Alliance working groups.
  • The ARK specification has been converted from the classic XML/RFC format to a much more streamlined Markdown/RFC format.
  • Our pre-conference proposal for a 3-hour ARK training session was accepted as part of Code4Lib 2023, and will take place Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at Princeton University.

Here is a snapshot of the ARK community since the Feb 2022 update.

  • Known number of ARKs in the world: 8.2 billion
  • Amount paid for the right to create ARKs: $0
