How was the repository built (cont.)

• Custom VB Parser for each collection

  • UIUC records already in DC and XML, so loaded into DOM and inserted records into DB
  • Dlib Mag. already in XML, so loaded into DOM, translated to DC and inserted into DB
  • NetLib used custom flat file format, so wrote a web crawler with custom parser, translated into DC, inserted into DB
  • Berkeley used RFC1807 or flat file ASCII DB dumps, so wrote custom parser, translated to DC, and inserted into DB
