HeadLine Deliverables and Software

Resource Data Model (RDM)

The Resource Data Model is designed as a relational database and was originally devised to meet the needs of the HeadLine Personal Information Environment (PIE). Its structure can accomodate different versions of a single resource, each of which occurs at a different location and has different holdings (date range(s) available) and depth (bibliographic, abstract, full text, etc.). To access the software and descriptive material either click on the Software Index or the individual links.
