Abstract

Development of computer and Internet technology provides the necessary tools to develop digital libraries that could provide a cost-effective access to information for users on a global area. To address the problems, the CINDI (Concordia INdexing and Discovery) system proposes the semantic header for bibliographic index and the graphic interface for cataloging, searching as well as access, and provides feedback and annotation. In this project, our aim is to provide a high availability of the CINDI system, and improve the functionality of the system. A high availability solution presented herein is to use the file-based and database replication methods. In addition, we propose a scheme to integrate the CONFSYS (conference support system) with the CINDI system. We also address the issues of optimizing the database design and query processing.
