Abstract
This document specifies Pairtree, a filesystem hierarchy for holding objects that are located within that
hierarchy by mapping identifier strings to object directory (or folder) paths two characters at a time. If
an object directory (folder) holds all the files, and nothing but the files, that comprise the object, a
"pairtree" can be imported by a system that knows nothing about the nature or structure of the
objects but can still deliver any object's files by requested identifier.
Whilst you don't need to be a mechanic to drive a car, it is helpful if you have a basic understanding of how a car works, what bits do different jobs, and how to top up your oil and pump up your tyres / tires. This presentation will give an overview of the DSpace architecture, and will give you enough knowledge to understand how DSpace works. By knowing this, you will also learn about ways DSpace could be used, and ways in which it can't be used.
KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) will develop emulation services (KEEP Emulation Services) to enable accurate rendering of both static and dynamic digital objects: text, sound, and image files; multimedia documents, websites, databases, videogames etc.
The overall aim of the project is to facilitate universal access to our cultural heritage by developing flexible tools for accessing and storing a wide range of digital objects. KEEP will also consider legal issues concerning the implementation of emulation-based systems and propose solutions which comply with European and national copyright laws.
