==== Description: ====
Mediatex implements the Oais's archival entity and try to
match it with the NF Z 42-013 requirements.
It focus on pereniality by dupplicating geographicaly CD
supports and dedicated metadata.
Goal is to achieve archive perenniality.
This means we provide the resources to overcomes the
technological obsolescence of supports and drives we use.
The perennial archival comes with 3 main objectives:
- conserve the document
- make it accessible
- preserve it's understanding
In order to mitigate natural and technological disasters,
archives must be duplicated on several sites.
Parsers designed to load the meta-data offer a software
library to export them into the wanted format.
Programming languages used are: C and Bash.
Tools used are: apache2, cvs, sendmail, ssh and rsyslog
Computer science offer several means for redundancy but finally, the meta-data
management will remains centralised. The NICT mainly based on databases are
using "hight availability" to offer crash recovering. Is-it the real purpose?
Programmers use revision control system to share their source codes. Although
using a centralised deposit, this solution offer the advantage to
desynchronise updates, that is a way to anticipate crash recoveries.
In other words, others ERMS usealy use XML and a centralised database wherease
mediatex use text files and cvs to manage the metadata.

==== Other Comments: ====
Designed under Debian but looks compatible (and running) with gNewSense.
Dependencies do not bring them but my project may also use rar and afio which
are not under a free license.
There is still 280 nearly trivial files without licences, I cannot state if
they need copyright notice and license header or not.
Media files all comes with this project and are included into the
documentation, so I guess I may do not specify license for them.
----
This is a personal project and also my first one.
So it shoul'nt be very well done and I think a lot of works still need to be
done.
However this first version looks functionnal and I get a copyright disclaimers
renouncement from my employer (France).
In a personnal point of view, it is important to me to publish my project as
free software as it was the goal I set myself there was 10 years.
Thank you very much (and sorry for my bad english).
Nicolas.
