Dear All,
we would like to announce a new beta release of kopal Library for
Retrieval and Ingest
The long-term archiving project kopal has just published a new release
of its open source software koLibRI
(kopal Library for Retrieval and Ingest). koLibRI represents a library
of Java tools that have been developed
for the interaction with the DIAS (Digital Information and Archiving
System) system of IBM within the kopal project.
The software is implemented by the partners, the German National Library
and the Goettingen State and University
Library, in order to automate import (ingest) and retrieval (access) of
digital objects. koLibRI has been
designed with the intention to be re-usable as a whole or in parts
within other contexts, too.
The kopal project pursues the building of a cooperative developed and
operated archival system to ensure
the long-term access to digital documents. The solution is based on
IBM's DIAS and its technical operation
is run by the computer center partner Gesellschaft fuer
wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Goettingen gmbH (GWDG).
The kopal solution is productive since august 2006 and pursues the goal
of making several services available
for the reuse of the system.
