> 1. CWSpace Project (Archiving OCW sites in Dspace): (William Reilly)
This MIT iCampus project, CWSpace, completed its first (of two) years 
recently, demonstrating prototypes that automatically create archivable 
"Content Packages" of OCW courses, for transfer via newly developed Web 
Services to DSpace, for long-term preservation, as well as dissemination.  
Also prototyped was the use of an open source, standards-based system on 
top of SloanSpace (dotLRN) that permits an instructor to import these 
Content Packages out of DSpace, such that the same OCW course can now be 
rendered in SloanSpace. Work in Year Two concerns scaling up, 
productionizing, and further  extending the interoperability to SloanSpace
and Stellar/Sakai.
> 2. Search project called Similie - tools that help search systems that
> use different metadata schemas using RDF.
> 3. National archiving experiment - national archives and san diego
> super computer center to come up with a strategy to use the software
> they developed to use world distributed computers to archive large
> amounts of data.
