Dear
Professionals,
In
the today's information explosion especially on open source and open access
era, every one must be aware that every library or institution should have
their own either institutional repository (IR) or digital library
(DL) for easy access of their scholarly resources. In this regards, various
ogranizations have developed various IR and DL software on open source mode.
Where
as Fedora (www.fedora.info) is also one of
the open source softwares that gives organizations flexible tools for managing
and delivering their digital content. It is built on the core
of powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each
digital object and the relationships among digital objects. Digital objects can
encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web
services with objects.
This
is an open offer to the professionals, who are interested in establishing the
Fedora Institutional Digital Repository in to their library. Fedora is based on
the Windows OS based IR built on core Java. That's what is platform independent
software. I may also help in establishing the Greenstone Digital Library
(GSDL) Software to the professionals. However, there are so many
professionals are available for helping in building the GSDL Digital
Library.
With
best regards,
Rajesh
