Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Digital Libraries on Demand

ACM News Service: ESA Joins European Effort to Create Digital Libraries for Science.  2004-10-29: This is a fascinating teaser about placing digital library infrastructure on grid technology for distribution and preservation of massive forms of data, or any other digital library application that might be created quickly and achieve broad availability.  The DILIGENT project started in September 2004 and is going to last for three years. The 2004-10-26 article in the European Space Agency's ESA News goes deeper into the scientific importance, illustrated by all of the data from space experiments and satellites. Oh, sob, the project is being coordinated by Donatella Castelli at CNR-ISTI in Pisa.  Well, it will still be going on after I complete my Masters. The system appears to provide for federation of digital libraries, preserving the autonomy of individual collections while sharing access and use of materials.  Although there are major applications in environmental and terrestrial science, another member of the user community is Pisa's Scuola Normale Superiore Centre for the Data Processing of Texts and Images in the Literary Tradition. Broadcaster RAI is making educational A-V archives available.  Nice work in Italy.  Ci sono meraviglioso.
