The InscriptiFact Project is a database designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds. It is intended to benefit students, philologists, archaeologists, linguists, and other scholars interested in these areas of study as well as serving as an educational resource for the general public. The InscriptiFact Internet Database Prototype is now available as a platform independent application and database with a test set of 840 images. An additional 5000 images will be available by the end of 2003, with funding for 20,000 images by 2006.

Implementation of the Scholar’s Portal Project

December 1, 2003

Scott Herrington
Head, Library Instruction/Systems/Technology (LIST)
Arizona State University

Krisellen Maloney
Team Leader,
Digital Library & Information Systems Team
University of Arizona

The Scholars Portal Project is a collaborative effort that brings together seven ARL Libraries (University of Arizona, Arizona State University, University of California San Diego, Dartmouth College, Iowa State University, University of Southern California,and University of Utah) and Fretwell-Downing to begin the process of defining a suite of Web-based services that will connect the higher education community as directly as possible with appropriate, vetted information resources. The Project’s initial focus is on the meta search “discovery” and direct linking “delivery” tools that provide the foundation for the Scholars Portal. This briefing will provide an update on the project, including an overview of technical and organizational issues that we have addressed, the current progress of implementation and plans for the future.

RL Bob Morgan
Senior Technology Architect, Computing and Communications
University of Washington

Shibboleth, a project of Internet2, is developing architectures, policy structures, practical technologies, and an open source implementation to support inter-institutional sharing of Web resources subject to access controls. In addition, Shibboleth will develop a policy framework that will allow inter-operation within the higher education community. Recent activity in the Internet2 Shibboleth Project includes shipment of version 1.1 of the software package, development of operational federations, integration work with several content and package providers, and consideration of features for version 2.0.
