["Plieninger, Juergen" <juergen.plieninger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe inetbibler,

hier eine Nachricht aus diglib-l, die mir interessant zu sein scheint,
auch wenn ich weder einen Server betreibe noch PHP und MySQL
beherrsche.

Das Scout Project gibt uebrigens zwei der renommiertesten Newsletter
heraus, deren Inhalt/Archive hier
http://scout.wisc.edu/
eingesehen werden koennen. Empfehlenswert!

Mit freundlichen Gruessen

Betreff: [DIGLIB] Software for Online STEM Resource Collections

===8<=================== Original Nachrichtentext ===================
  The Internet Scout Project, a research center at the University of
  Wisconsin - Madison, has recently released version 1.1.1 of its free open
  source software package CWIS (Collection Workflow Integration System).

  CWIS is software to assemble, organize, and share collections of data
  about resources, like Yahoo or Google Directory but conforming to
  international and academic standards for metadata.  CWIS was specifically
  created to help build collections of Science, Technology, Engineering,
  and Math (STEM) resources and connect them into NSF's National Science
  Digital Library, but can be (and is being) used for a wide variety of
  other purposes.

  A few of the features of CWIS include:
    - prepackaged taxonomies    - user-definable metadata schema       
    - recommender system        - keyword and fielded search engine    
    - OAI and RSS export        - resource annotations and ratings     

  CWIS requires a web server that supports PHP and MySQL.  The software is
  designed for a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) platform, but is also being
  run on OS X, Solaris, and FreeBSD.  In a compatible environment, it
  normally takes less than ten minutes to get CWIS installed and running.

  More information can be found and a copy of CWIS downloaded at:
      http://scout.wisc.edu/Projects/CWIS/
      
  Questions about CWIS can be sent to:  cwissupport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  CWIS development is being funded by a grant from the National Science
  Foundation.  The project builds upon previous work on the Scout Portal
  Toolkit, which was developed under a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

  We look forward to your feedback.  Thanks!
