The RATOM project is engaged in two complementary development efforts.
libratom
The first – libratom – focuses on the development of a toolset to scan PST and MBOX email sources, produce reports describing content and metadata, and apply NLP to extract and categorize entities discovered in message content. These features are exported in a clearly documented SQLite database schema to support data analytics and machine learning tasks.
You can find the code and detailed installation instructions for the RATOM email processing library, tools, and notebooks on GitHub:

Ratom Appraisal Tool (Web Interface and Cloud Deployment Tooling)
The second – a selection and appraisal web application – focuses on the development of an interface and service to meet the needs of archivists reviewing individual email messages for retention, redaction, and public release.
You can find the RATOM web app deployment repository on GitHub:

Additional repositories used in this deployment can be found at ratom-server and ratom-webÂ
