“Institutional repositories can encourage the exploration and adoption of new forms of scholarly communication that exploit the digital medium in fundamental ways.”

Plethora of content management systems…
There are a plethora of content management systems on the market today, systems for managing courses, news, journals, e-portfolio, research, archives and so on. All of these systems control how content is published along a continuum.
Segue for evolving publications, Concerto for completed publications
Segue as a content management system is designed for evolving publications of primarily textual material. It is complemented by Concerto, our digital objects management system, which focuses more on completed publications of any content ranging from text to images, audio, video to simulations and so on. In their next versions, content from either of these systems will be interchangeable with Segue functioning as a portal for Concerto collections and exhibitions and Concerto functioning as an archive and search interface of Segue sites.
Evolving content granules, collections and exhibitions.
These systems will have nearly identical functionality but will differ primarily in their user interfaces. Segue will be designed to provide strong support for the hierarchical and chronological or sequential organization of evolving content blocks. Concerto will provide stronger support for searching collections, creating exhibitions and adding metadata that describes assets that have completed their creative evolution. Segue will be a portal for content from a variety of sources, Concerto will be an archive and search interface.
