I'll be happy to help, although I cannot be a full-time developer, that is not my job here at UAB. I'm glad to provide fixes, ideas, testing, small patches, as always (I do the translations at home, during my copious free time), but most of my time is trying to make things work, not to develop large projects. > The implementation in CDS Invenio does seem feasible without big > changes in the software, although a deeper analysis would be > necessary. I agree with you. I'd like to see more real world examples about how it is implemented, because I cannot imagine how a METS record with descripive metadata (MARCXML), some rights and origin information, with strong structural information and MIX detail for each scanned page of a medium-size journal (ex., our http://ddd.uab.cat/record/17654). Retrieving such a METS record could put the system at its knees. > Do you have some news about this project/petition since your your last > email? Nope. Yours is the first. Thanks, Ferran
