Projects vs. Program
• Projects– One at a time– Narrow focus– Limited use, limited audience– Possible migration, reusability problems
• Program– Generic digital repositories– Broad collection scope– Materials with broad interest, applicable in many
different contexts– Generic, well-defined data structures that can be
migrated when needed, and used in a variety of contexts
– Projects become “views” of, or subsets drawn from a broad, flexible, diverse collection of digital objects
