Re: [CODE4LIB] Good Database Software for a Digital Project?

[Gregory Murray]

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?

[Gregory Murray]

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.)

Thanks,
Greg
