About Collage

Collage is a digital asset management tool intended to share images and graphics with the SU community and beyond.  It is the Syracuse University modified version of ResourceSpace, an open source digital asset management software located at resourcespace.org where additional information can be found.  It is important to stress that the aim of Collage is to facilitate the sharing of assets, not to store private collections. 

Collage is currently a two tier web application.  The web application front end is hosted on an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine with a separately hosted media server. ResourceSpace is a PHP application running under Apache.  The MySQL database server host is co-located on an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine that also hosts the media server filestore.
