[Web4lib] RE: Open Source Image Repository Software

[Shipengrover,JD]

Greg,

I believe some folks are using Fedora Digital Repository System.
This is a completely open source repository system, not to be confused
with the Fedora Red Hat stuff. 

The URL is: http://www.fedora.info/

I know several groups are working on creating institutional repositories
based on this system - it can take anything from images, to
dissertations, to text files.

You might want to take a look at what it has to offer.
I have no personal knowledge of it, only second hand.
Thought I would throw it out there as an idea.

Good Luck

Whilst taking a look at Greenstone as a possible solution for a digital
image collection, I realized that Flikr has some collaboration
attributes that might be helpful to our project.  Does anyone know of
opensource software that would allow us to create and host an image
database combining the metadata functionality of Greenstone or DSpace,
the collaborative aspects of Flikr, and the customizability of
WordPress?

thanks
