iSpheres Project
• “Any ISphere can search and retrieve data from any other ISphere (subject to authorisation) and present the results in an integrated list of resources, as well as serving data on-demand to client applications. Communication with an iSphere is through SOAP/XML. “

iSpheresCore - Overview
• Middleware solution which is able to • Transform multiple object types, images, movies,
audio, and complex metadata• Act as a backend for multiple front ends• Perform distributed searches • Plug into multiple databases and data stores such
as DSpace
• Provides connectivity to collections of objects and data for front ends like iSpheresImage.
