About ADL software

The ADL software consists of several components:
  • The ADL middleware server, a distributed, peer-to-peer software component that provides mediated programmatic access to digital library collections.

    To clients, it presents standard library services in the areas of metadata search, retrieval, and ranking; access control; and collection management and organization. To collections, it presents a standard framework in which heterogeneous, collection- and/or item-specific metadata can be mapped and returned. The middleware server works cooperatively with a centralized collection discovery server and, in peer-to-peer fashion, with other middleware servers.

  • Client Web Interface (this client)

The software provides java, web, and java RMI interfaces for the development of digital libraries and end-user interfaces. The most developed backend is for accessing information in the SQL databases. The following end-user interfaces are under development:

  • JSP-based web end-user interface, and associated java beans for java application development
  • Add-in for ESRI ArcGIS 8.x products on windows.
