Welcome

This site contains information, links and tools to help you build a semantic digital library and/or electronic edition project. It will also help you and your organization to become an Open Access publisher. Although a digital library (or digitisation project) and an Open Access publisher are two very different things, we believe that they can complement each other.

There are plenty of guides, best practices, services, softwares and projects about digital libraries, digitisation & Open Access and some are also linked from this site. This site has a different objective. We would like to be very pragmatic and help you start your project quickly.

Our approach derives from the work done in the COST Action A32.

To be pragmatic, we had to focus on methods and tools we know better and we already experimented with, that's why our guides are based on specific software applications instead of being generic and let you choose the application you prefer. Please notice that all the applications we use are Open Source. If you are interested to port the guide to make it based on other software applications please feel free to do so. The guide content is released under a Creative Commons under a Creativecommons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 which is one of the most unrestrictive copyleft licenses. You can even use the content for commercial purposes without having to ask to anybody!
