[SCC_Active_Members] Greenstone and DSpace bridge

[Henry Gladney]

The article cited below might ease the CHM choice of repository software
considerably. (BTW, I've been informing myself about DSpace, but need to
understand it much better before commenting on its suitability for CHM.)

 Abstract: Greenstone and DSpace are widely used software systems for
digital libraries, and prospective users sometimes wonder which one to
adopt. In fact, the aims of the two are very different, although their
domains of application do overlap. This article describes the two systems
and identifies their similarities and differences. We also present StoneD [note
1 <http://www.dlib.org/dlib/september05/witten/09witten.html#note-1>] a
bridge between the production versions of Greenstone and DSpace that allows
users of either system to easily migrate to the other, or continue with a
combination of both. This bridge eliminates the risk of finding oneself
locked in to an inappropriate choice of system. We also discuss other
possible opportunities for combining the advantages of the two, to the
benefit of the user communities of both systems.

Cheerio, Henry
