ibidem

 We are pleased to announce the 1.04 release of the Ibidem Digital Library System. This release adds tracking of Item cloning. When an Item is cloned (duplicated), a link to its Parent Item will be shown.

This is useful for situations like the Telemensahe project. They have message scripts that get recorded and translated. Each derivative of a message will point back to the original Item.

 We are pleased to announce V1.03 of the Ibidem digital library system. The major new functionality is the ability to import a batch of items.

Please see the release notes for more details.

I'm working on our next product which is a system to create digital libraries. It's going to be called Ibidem Digital Library. Ibidem is Latin for "the same place." You've probably seen its abbreviation, ibid, in bibliographies.

Well, I needed a break from coding,so I took a first pass at a logo for the product. Ibidem is apparently a contraction of some kind. It's written as ib[ide]m to indicate the contraction.

The main focus of this product is tagging digital resources with their metadata (data about the resource, e.g. author, title). When a tag is part of an XML document (which it usually is), it's indicated as <tag name>tag content</tag name>. For example: <title>Pilgrim's Progress</title>.

So I designed the logo based off of the text ib<ide>m. I kind of like the idea behind the logo, but i'm definitly not an artist. So if anyone wants to make something better, send it my way!
