ARTstor: Enabling Cross‐Resource Communication
Abstract
Purpose
To describe new features in ARTstor.
Design/methodology/approach
The piece includes descriptions of the new functionality – an XML gateway that will enable federated searches initiated locally via a metasearch engine to include results from the ARTstor Digital Library; and the development of a standard application programming interface (API) that will allow content stored in local repositories or other licensed resources to be searchable and retrievable via the ARTstor software.
Findings
ARTstor Digital Library is a repository of hundreds of thousands of digital images and related data; the tools to use those images; and a usage environment that seeks to balance the rights of content providers with the needs and interests of content users.
Originality/value
Provides information of value to information management professionals.
