Ravindranathan, Unni and Shen, Rao and Goncalves, Marcos and Fan, Weiguo and Fox, Edward and Flanagan, James (2004) ETANA-DL: Managing Complex Information Applications - An Archaeology Digital Library. Technical Report TR-04-05, Computer Science, Virginia Tech.

Abstract

Archaeological research results in the generation of large quantities of heterogeneous information managed by different projects using custom information systems. We will demonstrate a prototype Digital Library (DL) for integrating and managing archaeological data and providing services useful to various user communities. ETANA-DL is a model-based, componentized, extensible, archaeological DL that manages complex information sources using the client-server paradigm of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
