[open-science-dev] Fwd: Brazil OCR - by David P. Anderson

Wed Jul 20 07:15:11 UTC 2011

Dear Lucas and Nigini,

Lucas is right, as far as I know there is no BOINC OCR solution yet, so the
only progress is what we did during the Berlin OKCon2011.

BOSSA has the options for creating jobs, managing users, etc. so adapting
what we did in BOSSA should not be too difficult. The idea is to use the
MySQL database of BOSSA to store the URI to the PDF documents as well as the
URIs of the pages (probably a CDN) so we can run jobs using this system (we
only have to translate the Google Docs infrastructure to MySQL or use a
similar GData library for PHP).

Regards,

Daniel
