[Dspace-general] DSpace for Museums

[Larry Stone]

I recommend looking at the DAARCH (Digital Archive for ARCHitecture)
project by Kristine Fallon Associates -- see
http://www.kfa-inc.com/articles/articles.htm

Demo site at: http://daarch.kfa-inc.com/

Source code: http://sourceforge.net/projects/daarch/

They are also using CDWA metadata in a museum environment.

> 2) And to which format (e.g. CDWA Lite) are you mapping for metadata
