[Dspace-general] dspace and query by humming system

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hi Pawel,

It is possible to add new search methods to DSpace, either directly in the 
code or by
adding external services (e.g. Web Services) that translate the searches 
into Lucene
queries internally. But it takes a lot of programming to do this today. The 
UI is a little
bit easier to customize since it uses JSPs, but I don't know how possible 
it is to do
the audio capture via JSP-generated HTML...

Whether DSpace would be a good platform to build an audio archive with audio
search capability is another question -- it's designed to be a pretty 
general purpose
digital archive -- but you're welcome to try.

If you do go ahead with your project using DSpace you should address any 
technical
questions to the dspace-tech mailing list, which you'll find on SourceForge.

Best wishes,

MacKenzie
