Managing Evolving Content Along a Publication Continuum
Segue is a content management system modeled on Web logs (blogs) that
is designed for evolving publications. It is complemented by Concerto,
a digital assets management system, that focuses more on completed
publications. When integrated, these systems can provide support for
both individual and institutional digital repositories along a
publication continuum.
Building Institutional Repositories from the Bottom Up
Systems for creating digital repositories must take into account the
needs of individuals as well as the institution in order to be
successful. This session will examine how the Segue Collaborative
Learning System allows its users to organically build and share their
own repositories within an institutional repository.
Segue Collaborative Learning System
Segue is an open source “collaborative learning system” for developing individual and institutional digital repositories along a publication continuum. Segue’s customizable, hierarchical, granular design and structuring of content makes it an excellent general purpose content management system for courses and blogs, archives and exhibitions, collections and research.
Open Source Partnerships
The Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) has defined standards for system interoperability that are being implemented in various open source projects including the Sakai project, Tufts Visual Understanding Environment (VUE), Lionshare and the next generation of the Segue Collaborative Learning System (CLS). We will discuss the implications of OKI standards in general and in particular will look at Harmoni, a PHP implementation of OKI open service interface definitions (OSID) that is designed particularly for the rapid development of standards-based PHP curricular systems in small liberal arts colleges.
