Dear Colleagues, This announcement may be of some interest to DSpace core developers.
-----Forwarded Message----- From: "Steinke, Tobias" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [METS] Release 1.0 of open source software koLibRI Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:17:56 +0200 To the successful conclusion of the project kopal, the German National Library and SUB Göttingen are presenting the official release of the kopal Library for Retrival and Ingest (koLibRI: http://kopal.langzeitarchivierung.de/index_koLibRI.php.en). koLibRI includes support to generate the Universal Object Format (UOF). The UOF is an archiving and exchange format for digital objects and based on the METS Profile "Usage of METS 1.4 as part of the Universal Object Format": http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000011.html The kopal project (Co-operative Development of a Long-term Digital Information Archive) was dedicated to find a solution to providing not only bitstream preservation but long-term accessibility as well in the form of a cooperatively developed and operated long-term archive for digital data. The German National Library, the Goettingen State and University Library, the Gesellschaft fuer wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Goettingen, and IBM Germany have been working in close cooperation on a technological solution. The now released software tools mark the successful development of such an archiving solution. The Open-Source-Software koLibRI is a framework to integrate a long term preservation system as the IBM Digital Information Archiving System (DIAS) into the infrastructure of any institution. In particular, koLibRi organizes the creation and the import of Archival Information Packages into DIAS, and offers functions to retrieve and to govern them. Preservation methods like data customization and migration of data are part of the tasks of long term preservation. koLibRi Version 1.0 provides modules that manage future migration procedures. koLibRI Version 1.0 provides a completely functional and stable condition. Nevertheless, in the context of connecting new partners to the existing long term preservation system, the software will be constantly adjusted to the needs of different partners. A documentation has been published with the conclusive release that describes the installation and the adjustment of a functional koLibRi-system and the basic internal layout to make individual development possible. The described release is offered for free download. Earlier versions of koLibRi can be made available by request.
