| iVia Open Source Virtual Library System | http://infomine.ucr.edu/iVia/ivia.php |
| Description: iVia is an open source (AGPL), complete and powerful Internet subject portal or virtual library system. It is a sophisticated virtual library, focused crawler and automated classifier virtual library collection creation and management package. It enables institutions interested in providing well-organized collections of metadata (supplemented with selected full-text) which describe Internet and other resources to do so in powerful, flexible ways that are customizable to the needs of the institution. iVia is designed to help portal systems scale as the number of high quality resources on the Internet continues to grow. The labor costs required to provide coverage of major subjects, if only in representative ways, are becoming prohibitive. The critical mass of resources that enables better coverage and a finer granularity in searching, which users of Internet finding tools often expect, just isn't present in most portals. At the same time commercial portal and finding tool systems continue to evolve at a rate that public domain portals have been unable to match. |
