DEJA
The Dynamic Electronic Journal Archive,
or DEJA project, was funded by the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, 2001-2002. See the DEJA
Project Report (PDF).
DSpace
Jointly developed by MIT Libraries and Hewlett-Packard Labs,
DSpace is a groundbreaking digital repository system that
captures, stores, indexes, preserves, and redistributes an
organization's research material in digital formats.
Research institutions worldwide use DSpace for a variety
of digital archiving needs -- including institutional repositories,
learning object repositories, electronic records management,
and more.
The success of the DSpace Federation Project has led to a
vibrant open source community that will manage the evolution
of the DSpace platform.
