Abstract
The Texas A&M
University College of Liberal Arts is working to develop a "telescope
of the mind:" a digital research environment based on open standards
and a robust open source toolset to allow faculty to create extensive
and reusable digital collections capable of advancing research in
digital humanities (i.e., the academic semantic web). This session
covers the constraints we are working within and the open source
technologies we are applying. We will also touch on some of the open
source packages we are producing.
