Scalable Storage for Digital Libraries

I propose a storage system optimised for digital libraries. Its key features are its heterogeneous scalability; its integration and exploitation of rich semantic metadata associated with digital objects; its use of a name space; and its aggressive performance optimisation in the digital library domain

Do 'efémero' ao 'sistema de informação': a preservação na era digital

principal objectivo deste artigo é dar a conhecer, de uma forma sintética, alguma da informação já recolhida no âmbito da investigação em curso na área da gestão e preservação da informação digital, um dos grandes desafios das organizações do nosso tempo, incidindo, de forma especial, nos programas e projectos desenvolvidos,em desenvolvimento ou a desenvolver. Pretende-se proporcionar, não só a percepção do que se está a fazer a nível nacional e internacional, mas também incentivaro desenvolvimento de novos projectos nesta área e a prossecução da imprescindível reflexão teórica e científica, sustentáculo de uma «praxis» cada vez mais baseada na cooperação e na interdisciplinaridade, e, necessariamente, na emergência do sistema de informação social - uno e indivisível - objecto da Ciência da Informação.The main purpose of this article is to give a synthetic overview of the information collected in the research project that we have just started regarding management and preservation of digital information, which is one of the key challenges facing organizations at this time, focusing on the projects already developed, in course, or planned. We pretend not only to give a perception of the national and international developed work, but also promote new projects and reinforce the necessary theoretical and scientific reflection which is the basis of a «praxis» moreand more sustained in the cooperation, interdisciplinary, and, necessarily, in the assumption of the social information system, object of the Information Science

The SICMA Multimedia Server and Virtual Museum Application

. This paper presents the SICMA Multimedia Information Server that was demonstrated during the #rst public trial of the ACTS project SICMA, which took place at the Natural History Museum of London and in the Gallo Romeins Museum of Tongeren #Belgium#, from June to September of 1997. The demonstrator application, namely the #Virtual Museum", is also presented. The SICMA server complies to the DAVIC standard and is built on top of the KYDONIA multimedia information server. Core DAVIC Server Service elements #Service Gateway, Stream, Content, File# have been developed and the DAVIC User Plane information #ows #S1 and S2# are supported. In this paper we describe the overall SICMA server architecture and explain the main factors that lead to server design. We also identify the critical points which a#ected the overall system performance and determined the degree of compliancy with the accepted standards, such as DAVIC. 1 Introduction The advances in storage and communicatio..
