Page: 1  Entered: 13 Jul, 2008  Modified: 21 Jul, 2008 The WCT Project is a collaborative effort by the National Library of New Zealand and the British Library, initiated by the International Internet Preservation Consortium. The WCT software was developed by Sytec Resources Ltd and is now available under the terms of the Apache Public License. The Web Curator Tool (WCT) is a tool for managing the selective web harvesting process. It is designed for use in libraries and other collecting organisations, and supports collection by non-technical users while still allowing complete control of the web harvesting process. It is written in Java and designed to run in Apache Tomcat. It has a flexible architecture, allowing the components of the tool to be distributed over multiple servers. A WCT installation is made up of several components: * the WCT Core (including the web server, scheduler and other central components), * a relational database, * the WCT Digital Asset Store (where harvesteed material is held prior to archiving), and * one or more Harvest Agents (responsible for gathering web content). The components communicate using SOAP over HTTP, so can be distributed across mulitple machines, (including machines using different operating systems). The WCT can be installed on any platform that supports Apache Tomcat, and has been tested on Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and (to a lesser extent) Microsoft Windows. Two relational databases are officially supported: Oracle and PostgreSQL, though any of the databases supported by Hibernate ought to work.
