Ace ACE (Auditing Control Environment) is a system that incorporates anew methodology to address the integrity of long term archives using rigorous cryptographic techniques. ACE continuously audits the contents of the various objects according to the policy set by the archive, and provides mechanisms for an independent third-party auditor to certify the integrity of any object. ACE consists of two components, the first an Audit Manager(AM) that checks files locally to ensure they have not been compromised. The second part, the Integrity Management Service (IMS), issues tokens that the AM can use to verify that its local store of file digests has not been tampered with.

Active_fedoraRubydora and ActiveFedora provide a set of Ruby gems for creating and
managing objects in the Fedora Repository Architecture
(http://fedora-commons.org). ActiveFedora
is loosely based on “ActiveRecord” in Rails. The 3.x series of
ActiveFedora depends on Rails 3, specifically activemodel and
activesupport.

ActiveTriplesAn ActiveModel-like interface for RDF data. Models graphs as

This library was extracted from work on ActiveFedora. It is closely related to (and borrows some syntax from) Spira, but does some important things differently.

AdveneThe Advene project (Annotate Digital Video, Exchange on the NEt) aims at providing a model and a format to share annotations about digital video documents (movies, courses, conferences...), as well as tools to edit and visualize the hypervideos generated from both the annotations and the audiovisual documents. With the Advene software, teachers, moviegoers, etc. can exchange multimedia comments and analyses about video documents. The project also aims at studying the way that communities of users (teachers, moviegoers, students...) will use these self-publishing tools to share their audiovisual "readings", and to envision new editing and viewing interfaces for interactive comment and analysis of audiovisual content.LIRIS Labratoryhttp://liris.cnrs.fr/advene/index.htmlhttps://github.com/oaubert/adveneComplete/en/frhttp://liris.cnrs.fr/advene/support.htmlGNU GPL V2.0http://liris.cnrs.fr/advene/examples.html#nosferatu20/12/2011Media Annotation/TaggingMedia Apllications

ASV ToolboxASV Toolbox is a modular collection of tools for the exploration of written language data. They work either on word lists or text and solve several linguistic classification and clustering tasks. The topics covered contain language detection, POS-tagging, base form reduction, named entity recognition, and terminology extraction. On a more abstract level, the algorithms deal with various kinds of word similarity, using pattern based and statistical approaches. The collection can be used to work on large real world data sets as well as for studying the underlying algorithms. The ASV Toolbox can work on plain text files and connect to a MySQL database. While it is especially designed to work with corpora of the Leipzig Corpora Collection, it can easily be adapted to other sources.University of Leipzig http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/~cbiemann/software/toolbox/http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/~cbiemann/software/toolbox/good/en/de MITCollection ManagementOntology/Vocabulary Building and Management

access to born-digital materials held on disk images. BitCurator Access
will focus on software that simplifies access to raw and
forensically-packaged disk images, allowing collecting institutions to
incorporate these objects into access environments in a manner that
reflects the original order and relevant environmental context. The use
of open source digital forensics software will allow for detailed
analysis of file and file system provenance, quality and accessibility
of files, metadata in files and the file system, and residual (non-file
system) data contained within disk images.

brat is designed in particular for structured annotation, where the notes are not freeform text but have a fixed form that can be
automatically processed and "interpreted" by a computer. brat also supports the annotation of n-ary associations that can link together any number of other annotations participating in specific roles. brat also implements a number of features relying on natural language processing techniques to support human annotation efforts. Other applications include entity mention detection, event extraction, coreference resolution, chunking, dependency syntax, meta-knowledge, and corpora annotation.

CatmanduCatmandu provides a suite of Perl modules to ease the import, storage, retrieval, export and transformation of metadata records. Nicolas Steenlant, Patrick Hochstenbachhttp://librecat.org/index.htmlhttps://github.com/librecat/catmandu/The main site offers a brief introduction of the capabilities of Catmandu and offers an extensive tutorial. The GitHub code repository also contains developer documentation, but needs to be generated (or you can find it by browsing the code repository) after downloading. The developer documentation seems well written and quite extensive.The code repository in GitHub also includes a page directed to contributers, but does not seem to desribe any plugin architecture. Since the code seems professionally maintained and fairly well documented, adding customizations to the code seems worth considering.The Perl code looks well structured, well written, and contains comments in the form of perldoc. There is a long list of tests available. Also the code is included in CPAN (a repository of Perl libraries).Good / ENnoGPL-2, or later11/2013ongoingMetadata Retrieval ServicesMetadata Mapping/Conversation/normalisationCollection ManagementYes

CollectionSpaceCollectionSpace is an open-source collections management application that meets the needs of museums, historical societies, and other collection-holding organizations. CollectionSpace is designed to be configurable to each organization’s needs, serving as a gateway to digital and physical assets across an institution. The software is freely distributed via open-source licensing, and an active developer community ensures that CollectionSpace is continually improving. January 2014: Lyrasis is now the organizational home of CollectionSpace. (The project was initiated and led by Museum of the Moving Image. Transition team includes developers based at University of California, Berkeley and Fluid Project at Ontario College of Art and Design; and Jesse Martinez, Freelance developer and Service Provider.) Project Partners 2008-2013 included: University of California Berkeley, Fluid Project at Ontario College of Art and Design, and Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies (CARET) University of Cambridge. www.collectionspace.orgCurrent release 4.0: https://github.com/collectionspace/The home page clearly provides a link to the documentation, which is very thorough and covers the most relevant topics such as: system requirements, how to configure & install it, how to use and maintain it and also how to develop customizations. The overall quality of this documentation is fairly good.CollectionSpace describes having a so-called hook system in place (which is used in e.g. Drupal or Wordpress), a design pattern to conveniently extend a system. Hook systems in general take some time to learn and in this case specific documentation on the hooks are yet to be added (some limited examples are available though).The different parts, namely the UI, services, application, tools, etc, are in different sections in GitHub, making the distinction clear. Each of these sections is sparsely documented, however the code looks good with JavaDoc and maven pom.xml files.

Cross-Platform Authentication - Authorization ProviderHybrid media devices, which can deliver audio, video and interactive content over both broadcast and broadband, create new opportunities and
challenges for broadcasters. Augmenting the broadcast experience with interactive content delivered over the Internet changes the classic one-to-many paradigm bringing it closer to a one-to-one relationship.
Cross-Platform Authentication (CPA) offers an open standard for associating any media device with an online identity, which facilitates delivery of personalized services to these devices.
