Overview

At its core mdr2 integrates a number of systems and coordinates the production of DAISY Talking Books from inception through to archiving.

The involved systems are:

ABACUS

Order management and initiation of productions is typically done in the ERP namely ABACUS.

Library

Some production orders come directly from the library as they are not managed in the ERP.

Obi

The actual recording of the production is done in Obi.

DAISY Pipeline

The recorded productions are validated and converted to DAISY Talking Books using software from both the DAISY Pipeline 1 and DAISY Pipeline 2 projects

Archive

Once all the artifacts have been created they are archived in a legacy in-house archive.
