Abstract

The Field Acquired Information Management Systems (FAIMS) project produces FAIMS Mobile, open-source software for offline data collection on an Android device. It was established by archaeologists in 2012 to support the capture and management of digital field data in remote locations. It is now used by researchers from many fields in diverse situations but the software is showing its age. In 2020 we received a major investment from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and project partners to rebuild from the ground up. AAO is leading the development of FAIMS 3.0 to enable cross-platform data collection (Android, iOS and desktop), more flexible synchronisation, integration with Cloudstor, a DIY option for customisation, and a sleek new look. In this talk we discuss the use cases of FAIMS over the past 9 years and our plans for future adoption and adaptation.

This presentation introduces the history of the FAIMS project and FAIMS Mobile field data collection software, including a brief progress report on FAIMS redevelopment.
