Conf: Face of text, Nov 2004
I encourage you to see the new Media page at the Face of Text web site. We
have mounted a Quicktime application with streaming video synchronized with
slide images and texts of selected speakers (like Julia Flanders, Jerome
McGann, Stephen Ramsay and John Unsworth) from The Face of Text conference
that was held in November of 2004.

You can also try audio podcasts of keynote presentations.
Yours,
Geoffrey Rockwell

Digital library: Summary of Tools
Summary of tools for building a digital library, posted to diglib:
Software used to build and present digital collections:
- Greenstone
- Fedora (http://www.fedora/info) ;
- a very comprehensive and extended comparison of features and functionality of open source software is available at http://www.soros.org/openaccess/software/
- a less detailed comparison between DSpace, Fedora, and the commercial CONTENTDm is available at http://staff.oclc.org/~levan/docs/ContentDM%20vs%20DSpace%20vs%20Fedora.ppt#256,1,CONTENTdm
- commercial software to consider as well : DLXS (built and used for instance for Making Of America http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/moagrp/), CONTENTdm, ENCompass (Endeavor), DigiTool (ExLibris)
- a list of open source and commercial software is available at http://www.bcdlib.tc.ca/tools-software.html
Standards to structure digitized pages in books: METS or TEI
Besides, one may find at http://ldp.library.jhu.edu/projects/repository (at the "Documents" tab) a summary of an on-going study (by Johns Hopkins) on how different databases/user interface can co-exist and connect with each other thanks to an intermediate 'interface layer' (maybe more for IT specialists).
