Infrastructure for Independent Media.
An independent institution for the systems and standards that an open, resilient media environment depends on.

Identity, archival, distribution, discovery, and governance — the shared technical and institutional layer that an open press depends on, designed to be operable on equal terms by independent publishers, research bodies, and large institutions alike.
