Although generalized architectures for digital libraries are still being defined, we now have a good understanding of the components that support the services of a digital library. Many of these components are or are based on open source software - and for good reason. This session details the different areas of a digital library architecture, and demonstrates how open source software is an important component in the digital library. Several open source or community source projects with be detailed in depth, and the panelists will discuss successes and challenges in utilizing open source software in library settings.
Jeremy Frumkin “Digital Library Architecture: Evolving through Open Source.” Digital libraries take on many forms and functions. There are now several tools and services in digital libraries which are open-source and open-standards based - thereby speeding up the adoption and implementation rate within libraries. This talk details how these tools and services play an important role in defining digital library architectures.
