These units are specially interesting because they run linux internally and can add applications.</p> <p>The 2nd part is the archive -- can't be too specific w/o knowing how your exhibitions are saved - between a sql database load of categoried files and using a search system like Lucene (solr and elastisearch are versions), a repository can be quickly built.</p> <p>Check <a href="http://welovemuseums.com/webservices" title="http://welovemuseums.com/webservices">http://welovemuseums.com/webservices</a> for some of our work on the topic.</p> <p>Rich</p> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:48:42 +0000 richr comment 4996 at http://www.museumsandtheweb.com
