Analysis of CDL’s XTF textIndexer to Replace the Local Files with FEDORA Objects

This is a continuation of the investigation about integrating the California Digital Library’s XTF software into the FEDORA digital object repository that started earlier.

CDL’s XTF as a Front End to Fedora

We’re experimenting pretty heavily now with the California Digital Library’s XTF framework as a front-end to a FEDORA object repository.

As we get more serious about XTF, I wrote up a How-To document for bringing XTF into Eclipse so that it can be deployed as a dynamic web application. Let me know if you find it useful. Definitely let me know if you find it in error. We haven’t put a version of XTF into OhioLINK’s source code repository, but that might follow shortly.
