Re: [CODE4LIB] Good Database Software for a Digital Project?
Matt, If the annotated bibliography is already in XML form, or if the data it is suited to a hierarchical structure, you may want to consider using a native XML database (the most common open-source ones are eXist and BaseX) and querying it with XQuery.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Anyone Doing Interesting Things With Digital Collection Systems?
Matt, Please have a look at the Theological Commons at Princeton Seminary: http://commons.ptsem.edu/ It's responsive. Unfortunately we don't have OAI-PMH set up (someday). Currently the only "API" is that if you take a URL like http://commons.ptsem.edu/id/... and replace "id" with "xml" you get the underlying XML document (which is a home-grown schema, not a standard library one, embarrassingly). (End of shameless plug.)
