Hello -
=20
I am currently exploring our institution's ability to create an
institutional repository that is OAI compliant. I feel I have a fair
understanding of the standards, functionality, etc. involved - and am
leaning toward DSpace as a model - but there is one aspect that I don't
see discussed very much... system architecture!
=20
I would be grateful if folks would share with me some architecture
configurations they have developed. I am most interested in the storage
aspect. I have looked at jukebox technology as a storage backend, but
am not sure about the retrieval aspect. We also have a super computer
with lots of storage capacity - but it is not designed to handle small
files, but rather large datasets. Any information you would like to
share will be most appreciated.
=20
Feel free to respond directly to me if you would rather not post to the
list.

Kind regards,
Amy
