Documentation and example collections are available on the Greenstone website.
Building A Scalable Open Source Storage SolutionPhil Cryer
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), like many other projects within biodiversity informatics, maintains terabytes of data that must be safeguarded against loss. Further, a scalable and resilient infrastructure is required to enable continuous data interoperability, as BHL provides unique services to its community of users. This volume of data and associated availability requirements present significant challenges to a distributed organization like BHL, not only in funding capital equipment purchases, but also in ongoing system administration and maintenance. A new standardized system is required to bring new opportunities to collaborate on distributed services and processing across what will be geographically dispersed nodes. Such services and processing include taxon name finding, indexes or GUID/LSID services, distributed text mining, names reconciliation and other computationally intensive tasks, or tasks with high availability requirements.

Normal laws of demand suggest that as prices increase demand decreases whilst firms attempt to supply more (with the opposite happening as prices decrease). The concept of elasticities asks the question ‘by how much does demand and supply change?’ Recent examination reports have made it clear that “price elasticity is an important topic and students should be prepared to apply it to the examination context as well as quote the formulas.” There is a lot to learn in this section – start with a good understanding of what elasticity it and how it is measured. Then consider why it matters for businesses to have a working knowledge / estimate of the coefficient of price elasticity of demand.

Add the power of the Web to your embedded devices with WPE WebKitIgalia
The Web engine is the most important component of a Web Browser: it makes it possible to fetch and interpret web content, allowing users to interact with it. WebKit, the Open Source Web engine used in Web browsers like Safari, provides an architecture particularly well-designed for embedded platforms, making it popular not just for Apple devices, but for all sorts of Linux-based environments too (e.g. set-top-boxes, smart home appliances..). However, a Web engine is a complex piece of software and often not optimized for low-power computers.
This is where WPE, a Linux-based Open Source “port” of WebKit for embedded devices, comes in. Its low memory footprint and focus on simplicity, flexibility, and performance allows for the kind of customization needed to run on bespoke hardware and integrate with a wide variety of requirements. WPE is also developed upstream as part of the WebKit project and regularly published every 6 months via stable releases, guaranteeing that it’s up-to-date with the latest developments in the WebKit community.
In this talk, we will explore WPE in detail, see how the project has evolved, and look at where it’s heading next, highlighting some of its most popular use cases and some experiments that open up brand-new possibilities for this port of WebKit.

Open stack swift_essex_meetup_2012_06_21_judd_maltinKamesh Pemmaraju
OpenStack Object Storage (code-named Swift) is open source software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of standardized servers to store petabytes of accessible data. It is not a file system or real-time data storage system, but rather a long-term storage system for a more permanent type of static data that can be retrieved, leveraged, and then updated if necessary. Primary examples of data that best fit this type of storage model are virtual machine images, photo storage, email storage and backup archiving. Having no central "brain" or master point of control provides greater scalability, redundancy and permanence.
Swift Version 1.5 is set for release the week of June 11th. Get a clear understanding of the power of Swift, the changes in the current release and the features slated for the next major OpenStack release: Folsom. As a bonus, watch how easy it is to setup OpenStack Swift with Dell's "Crowbar - the Cloud Unboxer." Discussion that follows will include scalability considerations, monitoring, and management of the system.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. The three Entities
Digital Library
– An organization, which might be virtual, that comprehensively collects,
manages, and preserves for the long term rich digital content, and
offers to its user communities specialized functionality on that content,
of measurable quality and according to codified policies
Digital Library System
g y y
– A software system that is based on a defined (possibly distributed)
architecture and provides all functionality required by a particular
Digital Library. Users interact with a Digital Library through the
g y g y g
corresponding Digital Library System
Digital Library Management System
– A generic software system that provides the appropriate software
infrastructure both (i) to produce and administer a Digital Library System
incorporating the suite of functionality considered foundational for Digital
Libraries and (ii) to integrate additional software offering more refined
refined,
specialized, or advanced functionality

4. Different types of DLMS
yp
Extensible Digital Library System
– A complete Digital Library System that is fully operational with respect to basic/
foundational functionality required. It is based on an open software architecture, so
that further software components can be incorporated on top of the ones already there
with ease (DelosDLMS, Greenstone)
Digital Library System Warehouse
– A collection of software components that encapsulate the core suite of DL functionality
and a set of tools that can be used to combine these components in a variety of ways
(in Lego-like fashion) to create Digital Library Systems offering a tailored integration of
functionalities. New software components can easily be incorporated into the
Warehouse for subsequent combination with those already there (BRICKS,
DILIGENT)
Digital Library System Generator
– A highly parameterized software system that encapsulates templates covering a broad
range of functionalities, including a defined core suite of DL functionality as well as
any advanced functionality that has been deemed appropriate to meet the needs of
the specific application domain Through an initialization session, the appropriate
parameters are set and configured; at the end of that session, an application is
automatically generated, and this constitutes the Digital Library System ready for
