ODSAS

ODSAS ODSAS is a scientific platform for storing, personalized manipulation and individual and collective multilayer annotation of digital resources.

The platform is based (but not exclusively intended for) the needs of social sciences and humanities with particular accent on anthropologists' needs.

The platform ODSAS has two components :

• the program of digitizing and organizing the collections and archival sources. This component is called ADAP (Archives Digitales Asie-Pacifique)While ODSAS is not limited to Pacific and Australian material, the latter are without doubt an important aspect.
