Synopsis
The DLXS middleware is open-source software developed by the Digital Library Production Service (DLPS) at the University of Michigan. It is most commonly used with XPAT, a licensed XML-aware search engine. Though in theory the DLXS middelware could be used separately from XPAT, allowing a different search engine module to be plugged in, in reality this would require substantial rewriting of the DLXS code.
Features

Source code and licensing
Custom open-source license (for DLXS middleware only and not for XPAT).
One-time license fee for use of XPAT.
No discount for TEI members.
Support for TEI
For textual digital library objects, supports "Text Class", a modified version of TEI Lite's P3 version.
