ICA-AtoM, however, is built on underlying software ([http://qubit-toolkit.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Qubit]) that is designed to be flexible enough to support descriptions of other types of cultural materials in addition to archival holdings (such as library, museum and art gallery materials). The code, therefore, uses generic terms for [[Entity|entities]]. [[Administrator|Administrators]] can specify how they want these terms to appear in the [[User interface|user interface]] labels. The default labels that ship with ICA-AtoM represent an archives-specific "theming" of the labels.
