NotreDAM

Hi there,

do you plan to publish a brief list of organisations that use NotreDAM as references on your website?
This may help some managers to commit to NotreDAM and assist CIO's in their argumentations.
At this point you can answer the question "NotreDAM? Interessting system but who is using it?" not appropriately.

Hi Burkhatd,
good question indeed.
NotreDAM started as a research project, so it was initially used only within the DistrICT Lab of Sardegna Ricerche.
At present it is used in a project on cultural heritage (committed by a local municipality) and in a FP7 UE project. We will publish more details about these projects as soon as they will be successfully completed.
Moreover, we have a technology partner which is using NotreDAM ( see http://www.notredam.org/partners.html ). We hope to be able to add new partners to this list quite soon.
There are also a few companies which downloaded and customized NotreDAM. However, they are carrying out the development on their own.

We realize that, without reaching a critical mass of users, the platform may appear quite unattractive. We know this is a real issue. Getting some valid references and, possibly, building a community of developers is our main concern at present. For this reason we are improving the documentation and extending it to the development aspects too. We will present a NotreDAM demo at the TPDL 2011 Conference too, aiming to raise some real interst on it.

Thanks for your very key question.

Kind regards,

Maurizio
