Lucene folks, Just a quick note to announce the launch of a new Lucene-powered site, the GATT Digital Library at Stanford. The URL is http://gatt.stanford.edu.
Over the past seven years, the Stanford Libraries have digitized a large collection of documents produced by the GATT, the predecessor to today's World Trade Organization. This site, which offers access to over 30,000 documents, makes the products of this digitization effort publicly available for the first time. Over the coming months and years, we hope to release tens of thousands more documents through this website, and through other digital library systems. As you might have guessed, the functionality for searching and browsing the GATT library is driven by Lucene. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Doug and the Lucene team. Without Lucene, it would have been much more difficult to release these important historical documents to the public. I also wanted to announce an opening for a developer job at Stanford that may be of interest to Lucene programmers. The work will focus on creating tools to put Stanford's digital collections online, and on developing an open source toolkit for indexing XML with Lucene. (We already have a good beta, which was used to create the index for the GATT site.) For more details on the job, please take a look at the posting at Craigslist. http://www.craigslist.org/pen/art/66515046.html Comments and questions on the site and/or job are most welcome. Feel free to contact me at this address or via my work e-mail, dln (at) stanford.edu. - David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
