| Long Description: | One of the problems with digital documents is the long-term reference them in a way that is meaningful over a very long period of time. Although this may appear to be peripheral to the institutional repository, I think we need to deal with this topic now. | ||

| 11/14/2003 | There appear to be a number of solutions. CNRI's Public Handle System is one method being used by DSpace. Another is the Persistent URL (PURL). | ||
| 3/30/2004 | DSpace implemented the CNRI Handle System. | ||
| 6/1/2004 | This issue is closed for DSpace, but may still be an issue for the Institutional Repository in the long-term. I'm going to remove DSpace from the list of projects for which this is active, but retain it under the Institutional Repository and Documentum projects. | ||
| 11/18/2004 | I'd like to consider creating another Handle Server for the library and refer all URLs to the Handle Server for items in CONTENTdm. | ||

| 2/2/2004 | Crow, Raym. [30]A Guide to Institutional Repository Software. 2nd ed New York: Open Society Institute, 2004. (http://www.soros.org/openaccess/pdf/OSI_Guide_to_Institutional_Repository_Software_v2.pdf). - If you need a quick overview of institutional repository software options, try this brief guide from the Open Society Institute. It describes software that: (1) is open source, (2) conforms to the latest version of the OAI metadata harvesting protocols, and (3) is currently available for use. This includes ARNO, CDSware, DSpace, Eprints, Fedora, i-Tor, and MyCoRe. Each system is overviewed in a separate section, and then the features of all systems are compared in a detailed, lengthy table. | ||

| 11/18/2004 | No word on access to Documentum. | ||
| 12/1/2004 | If I don't hear anything about Documentum by January 1, I'll close this item and wait for them to approach us. | ||
| 1/25/2005 | I haven't heard anything from Documentum, but I'm recommending that the institutional archive project consider using it. I'm move this task to "hold". | ||
| 3/29/2005 | Dave Kennison and Mike Brown presented Documentum to Chris Erickson's digital preservation committee. The only component they have implmented is web page management. | ||

| 8/27/2004 | Garin Granata writes: "We are moving forward with a two-month "production pilot" starting the end of September. This means we will allow a limited number of instructors and students to use the Content System functions in our Bb 6 production system. If the production pilot goes well I plan to turn on the CS campus-wide thereafter." | ||
| 9/15/2004 | Garin Granata, Jon Mott, Allyson Washburn, and I met. Garin is managing the Content Management pilot. The library is interested in testing BbCM as a replacement for ERes and for digital content. | ||
| 11/18/2004 | This project is on-going. The library is investigating BbCM for use as Electronic Reserve, an an open institutional repository, and how to link with other repositories. | ||
| 2/28/2005 | With all of the problems with Bb, the content management investigation has been put on hold by CID. | ||
