Aloha was a project inspired by the diverse needs of educational professionals
to index their work in an easily shared and accessible manner. To this
end, ALOHA has been designed to accommodate any type of markup, and
to allow searching and sharing of those objects. For example, objects
marked up in the popular formats IMS and Dublin-Core are both easily
handled by ALOHA, unlike other systems which restrict you to a particular
format. It's easy to extend a schema to suit your own needs, and yet
still have it co-exist alongside other formats. Your document is still
searchable along with the rest of the objects. ALOHA ties in seamlessly
with online servers, making your work easily accessible by others. Or,
if desired, you can restrict your work to a certain group of people,
or even to just one person. In addition, the CAREO website serves as
a front end to ALOHA. Objects marked up in ALOHA are immediately accessible
through CAREO.
