ABSTRACT
Digital libraries (DLs) have become a major focus of information
technology resources for organizations from academia, to the US
Department of Defense to the archeological efforts in Egypt. DLs
have transitioned from theoretical exploration to support
infrastructure development. The representation of multimedia
streams that are both client-acceptable and compliant with digital
rights models is currently in an “amoebic” stage; but promises to
have a profound, if not extreme, influence on infrastructure
development. This paper also describes our recent efforts towards
a digital archive of student portfolios, code-named Locutus.
