the item from being distributed online, and the scholarly significance of the item). To learn more about a particular item, or to learn how you can see it in its original form,

components: RDF (Resource Descriptive Framework), Solr (search server based on Lucene), JSON (Java Script Object Notation data exchange format), SRB (storage
resource broker), ARK (Archival Resource Key) and a Java based development platform. For the Digital Collections Website XDRE produces XML as a web service and

where appropriate.
