SODA: Smart Objects, Dumb Archives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the Smart Object, Dumb Archive (SODA) model for digital libraries (DLs). The SODA model transfers functionality traditionally associated with archives to the archived objects themselves. We are exploiting this shift of responsibility to facilitate other DL goals, such as interoperability, object intelligence and mobility, and heterogeneity. Objects in a SODA DL negotiate presentation of content and handle their own terms and conditions. In this paper we present implementations of our smart objects, buckets, and our dumb archive (DA). We discuss the status of buckets and DA and how they are used in a variety of DL projects.

Smart Objects and Open Archives
Within the context of digital libraries (DLs), we are making information objects "first-class citizens". We decouple information objects from the systems used for their storage and retrieval, allowing the technology for both DLs and information content to progress independently. We believe dismantling the stovepipe of "DL-archive-content" is the first step in building richer DL experiences for ...

Within the context of DLs, we are making information objects Òfirst-class citizensÓ.

متن کاملPreserving the Pyramid of STI Using Buckets
The product of research projects is information. Through the life cycle of a project, information comes from many sources and takes many forms. Traditionally, this body of information is summarized in a formal publication, typically a journal article. While formal publications enjoy the benefits of peer review and technical editing, they are also often compromises in media format and length. As...
متن کاملSmart Objects, Dumb Archives: A User-Centric, Layered Digital Library Framework
Currently, there exist a large number of superb digital libraries, all of which are, unfortunately, vertically integrated and all presenting a monolithic interface to their users. Ideally, a user would want to locate resources from a variety of digital libraries dealing only with one interface. A number of approaches exist to this interoperability issue exist including: defining a universal pro...
متن کاملA Smart-Dumb/Dumb-Smart Algorithm for Efficient Split-Merge MCMC
Split-merge moves are a standard component of MCMC algorithms for tasks such as multitarget tracking and fitting mixture models with unknown numbers of components. Achieving rapid mixing for split-merge MCMC has been notoriously difficult, and state-of-the-art methods do not scale well. We explore the reasons for this and propose a new split-merge kernel consisting of two sub-kernels: one combi...
