Supported from 2006 to 2009 by the eContentplus programme, the European project Discovery has two main components: * Philosource, a federation of semantic digital libraries in the field of philosophy. * Philospace, a network of personal desktop applications used to enrich the content of Philosource with semantic annotations. The Philosource federation contains an extensive, multilingual collection of reliable scholarly editions of philosophical texts, high quality reproductions of primary sources and a rich archive of videos including lectures and interviews featuring leading contemporary philosophers. Each of the web sites of the Philosource federation is dedicated to a particular body of work and all material published in Philosource have stable and persistent web addresses to ensure the reliability of scholarly references. All of the content in Philosource is freely available via any common Web browser and is fully interoperable with Europeana.
