Mostly Java with build tools Maven/ Ant and some experience with web services (WSDL/SOAP/REST) and web applications deployed as Java servlets. Background knowledge in digitisation, OCR or long-term preservation is not required, but benefical for understanding the domain specific issues.
 * Background pre-requisite materials:**


 * For Taverna:**
 * Download Taverna from: []
 * Get quickstart guide from []
 * Get user manual from: []
 * Get developers guide from: []
 * Do the tutorials at: []

> Follow the readme file for detailed instructions on how to build the example project. > You can use any web service that is described by a WSDL, or create one yourself using the Toolwrapper. > @http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html > @http://unpaper.berlios.de/ - A post-processing tool for scanned documents > @http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ - A modular document analysis and OCR system > @http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ - One of the most accurate open source OCR engines available
 * For IMPACT:**
 * Get the Toolwrapper from: @https://github.com/impactcentre/interoperability-framework/tree/master/toolwrapper
 * Import a web service into Taverna and build a simple workflow for it.
 * Note that you need to install the Java Crytography Extension in order to use any web service endpoints which are using HTTPS encryption (as all the IMPACT services do). You can get it from here (installation instructions included):
 * Some example open source projects relevant to the domain, suitable for wrapping:
 * myExperiment group with example workflows
