Bda and Kalysis will provide mutual support for the future deployment in Spanish of Biblioteca d'Alessandria using the XML and Java standards

"I think that BdA and ANID can synergically and succesfully cooperate for a significant advancement in the effectiveness, speed and freedom knowledge is diffused" Massimiliano Simoncini, BDA Project Manager.

BOLONIA, 6th December 2003.- BdA has been selected as the P2P collaborative tool in e-Learning and e-Training platforms for e-Culture Net, the European Network of Excellence http://www.eculturenet.org (Kim H. Veltman, 2003).

"We find BdA compliant with the requisites of the BELE project (Broadband Foreign Language Learning) https://kalysis.com/BELE , the conceptual model and basic architecture which is a starting point for the e-Culture Net Hypermedia e-Learning content pilots, including more than 50 professionals and seven European projects" expressed Diego Antona(*).
La Asociación Nacional de Investigadores en Didáctica and Kalysis will be in charge of Spanish language dissemination, adaptation and integration of BdA with e-Culture Net Hypermedia e-Learning projects

Biblioteca d'Alessandria is an informatic system devoted to the research and share of full-text scientific documents among scientists, on a peer to peer network, supported by a digital rights management technology.

This is a totally new concept of P2P, allowing authors (or rights owners) to decide whether to condition the use of a document or not, whether to put a fee on it or not.

Like most of P2Ps, BdA (Biblioteca d'Alessandria, but also Broad Digital Archive) features a messaging service, so those researchers can talk, ask and collaborate.

Possible uses of such a system are virtually infinite; only users themselves (the researchers) will tell and find the most clever and useful ones. Though, some of them can be easily guessed, along with some direct consequences of the wide use of BdA.

The huge amount of gold information called ‘grey literature’, made of millions of works per year, presently laying inside of drawers or buried in hard disks, can be unearthed. A large diffusion of BdA will give birth to a broad scientific community, finally a real, tight, collaborative and not just a would-be one.

BdA will also be exploited by research institutes to build their own recognizable digital archive (most of them still don't have one) and to start their own e-press. Each scientist can invite the people he collaborates with (often scattered around the world) to install the software and use it to be constantly in touch and to have their documents always shared, even the works-in-progress. In addiction, share of documents and direct communications are the perfect base for e-Learning; companies will find BdA the perfect tool to acquire scientific information critical for their activities and to seek for scientific personnel to hire or to ask for consultancy. Prototype software is already available at: http://www.bdaweb.net

Aim of the BdA is to bring benefit to all the value chain players and end users of the scientific knowledge creation, diffusion and teaching system, granting free share and author's rights at once.
