She currently holds an appointment on CLIR’s Scholarly Communications Advisory Committee. In 2001 Ms. Brogan participated as a fellow in the Frye Leadership Institute sponsored by CLIR, Educause, and Emory University. Acknowledgments In writing this report, I am indebted to many principal investigators, researchers, and scholars who are affiliated with the constellation of aggregation services under review. They generously responded to the online survey conducted by the Digital Library Federation in fall 2005 and continued to provide feedback about their services as the report evolved. Their names and project affiliations appear in Appendix 1, along with my heartfelt thanks. Carol Minton Morris and John Saylor deserve special mention for helping me negotiate my way through the National Science Digital Library. Thomas Habing, Martin Halbert, Elizabeth Milewicz, Katherine Skinner, and Katherine Kott all provided useful critiques and helped to improve the report. Kat Hagedorn repeatedly went above and beyond the call of duty in responding to my inquiries not only about OAIster but also more generally about OAI service provider issues. Too numerous to cite individually here, are the many other specialists who willingly shared their expertise with me. Their names are listed with gratitude in Appendix 2. In the early stages of developing this report, I benefited from the advice of David Stern, Donald Waters, and Gary Wiggins. Finally, Barrie Howard was swift to offer assistance from the good offices of the Digital Library Federation during the nine‐month period while I was working on this report. David Seaman was unfailing in his support and patience. Preface Martha L. Brogan’s Contexts and Contributions: Building the Distributed Library is a major contribution to the Digital Library Federation’s (DLF) suite of work that focuses on the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). With generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, DLF has harnessed deep OAI expertise from the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Emory University to prototype “next-generation” OAI services informed by advisory panels of scholars and technical experts; to build registries of providers to aid in the creation of new OAI-based services; and to formulate best practices for sharable metadata that focus what we have learned collectively for innovative library services. The best practices work has received intellectual and practical support from our colleagues at the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), a service of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Contexts and Contributions had its starting point in a 2003 survey of digital library aggregation services compiled by Martha Brogan for DLF: A Survey of Digital Library Aggregation Services < http://www.diglib.org/pubs/brogan/>. This environmental scan was influential in the understanding of our early attempts to craft aggregated digital library services that served students and scholars well, and it had a very positive impact on the development of the services that followed. The current work is more difficult because the environment is maturing, and changing rapidly. Its value and timeliness is increased because of that, and I am proud that DLF can sponsor such a detailed evaluation of a shifting, but critically important landscape. Martha Brogan’s current study draws our attention to “major developments affecting the ecosystem of scholarly communications and digital libraries” and gives us all a rich comparative analysis of digital library aggregation services, including a clear-sighted view of—in Martha’s words— “the obstacles requiring further attention to realize … an open, distributed digital library.” The Digital Library Federation is delighted to acknowledge our funders and expert partners in this important work. We are pleased to have another opportunity to underscore our commitment to those standards, tools, and technologies that allow us to build innovative services that scholars and students need to produce richer teaching, learning, and scholarship. David Seaman Executive Director Digital Library Federation October 2006 PART I: INTRODUCTION 1.0 Laying the Foundation Since its founding ten years ago, the Digital Library Federation (DLF) aims to advance the goal of deep sharing of academic digital resources and services.

  • Apache Web Server ______
    Apache Web Server _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Original author(s) Robert McCool Developer(s) Apache Software Foundation Initial release 1995[1] 2.4.9 (March 17, 2014) [±] Stable release Development Active status Written in C, Forth, XML[2] Type Web server License Apache License 2.0 Website httpd.apache.org The Apache HTTP Server , commonly referred to as Apache , is a web server application notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web.[3] Originally based on the NCSA HTTPd server, development of Apache began in early 1995 after work on the NCSA code stalled. Apache quickly overtook NCSA HTTPd as the dominant HTTP server, and has remained the most popular HTTP server in use since April 1996. In 2009, it became the first web server software to serve more than 100 million websites.[4] Apache is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation. Most commonly used on a Unix-like system,[5] the software is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Unix, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Novell NetWare, OS X, Microsoft Windows, OS/2, TPF, OpenVMS and eComStation. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software. As of June 2013, Apache was estimated to serve 54.2% of all active websites and 53.3% of the top servers across all domains.[6][7][8][9][10] 1 Apache Web Server _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Name According to the FAQ in the Apache project website, the name Apache was chosen out of respect to the Native American tribe Apache and its superior skills in warfare and strategy.

AWStats is powerful log analyzer which creates advanced web, ftp, mail and streaming server statistics reports based on the rich data contained in server logs. Data is graphically presented in easy to read web pages. AWStats development started in 1997 and is still developed today by same author (Laurent Destailleur). However, development is now done on "maintenance fixes" or small new features. Reason is that author spend, since July 2008, most of his time as project leader on another major OpenSource projet called Dolibarr ERP & CRM and works also at full time for TecLib, a french Open Source company. A lot of other developers maintains the software, providing patches, or packages, above all for Linux distributions (fedora, debian, ubuntu...). Designed with flexibility in mind, AWStats can be run through a web browser CGI (common gateway interface) or directly from the operating system command line. Through the use of intermediary data base files, AWStats is able to quickly process large log files, as often desired.

    APACHE Presentation by: Lilian Thairu AGENDA Introduction Where to get Apache Versions Licensing Use Features Server & Supporting programs Competitors Market structure Pros & Cons Apache Vs Other servers Presentation by: Lilian Thairu Apache Web Server Introduction Often referred to as simply Apache is a public-domain open source Web server developed by a group of programmers of about 20 volunteers called the Apache Software Group. Apache was born in early 1995, as free Web server software based around NCSA httpd 1.3, which was the most popular Web server as at that time, and with a bunch of software patches. From that it earned it's name, which stands for "A PAtCHY server." Since then, it has been completely re- written, and has become the most popular WWW server on the Internet. Presentation by: Lilian Thairu ........Introduction Apache lends itself particularly well to projects that are heavily Java based. It offers superior handling of the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) application program interface. The original version was written for UNIX,but there are now versions run under other platforms. Majority of all web servers using Apache are Linux web servers.Presentation by: Lilian Thairu .......Introduction The Apache web server is a program that parses types of hypertext markup language(HTML) and sends it back to you as a human readable web page. It was the first alternative to the Netscape Communications Corporations web server and it has since evolved to rival other Unix Based web servers in terms of functioning and performance. It has played a key role in the initial growth of the WWW and has been the most popular HTTP server on the WWW.
