International framework The MICHAEL service
Production module ( XML database )
Publication module (XML search engine)
The two MICHAEL modules act as data repositories that are consistent with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) making metadata available in both standard Dublin Core and MICHAEL format .
A MICHAEL national ‘ instance ’ consists of both a production module and a publication module .
The MICHAEL platform already exists and the production module is being used in France, Italy and the UK to manage digital cultural heritage inventories .

International framework The MICHAEL Service: metadata
The following standards are implemented in MICHAEL :
Item-level meta-data: The Dublin Core meta-data Element Set .
DC.Culture : enables the searching of item-level metadata through 4 key access points – Who, What, Where and When. Potentially allows for implementation of GIS.
Collection-level meta-data: The Research Support Librari es Programme collection-level meta-data model forms the basis for the collection-level meta-data to be used in MICHAEL.

International framework The MICHAEL service: open source software
The MICHAEL platform is being distributed as open source software, and is built on top of other well-known open source components :
Apache Cocoon : an XML infrastructure for complex Web applications
eXist : an XML database management system
Xdepo : a Cocoon environment to manage data stored in an XML database using Web forms
SDX : a search engine for large collections of XML documents
