We're holding a meeting on the strategies and architectures possible for
the Tulip project (see below) in 11-401 at 10:30-12:30 on February 18.
The Tulip project was conceived by Elsevier Publishing as a way to test
the feasibility of electronic dispursal of their scientific journals. The
pilot project, focused on Materials Engineering journals, will provide
images of the published magazines as well as a "dirty ascii" copy of
pre-published articles. Bibliographic data will be also be provided.
MIT will be participating in this project with other universities such
as Carnegie Mellon, UC, USC, and the University of Washington.
THis meeting will essentially be a brain-storming session on how to make
the Tulip project work in our environment. What software should be used
to index the data, how will the image be delivered to the user, how will
printing be done?
Please come. It's an important project which could lay the foundations
for a lot of this stuff we have planned.
