The Australian National University: Case Study: Creating Publications from a DSpace Repository

Abstract

We demonstrate the re-publication of a complex document (text and interactive CD) from a DSpace repository. The document components (over two hundred text, schematic, audio, image and video components) are transformed into open standard formats and stored in DSpace, together with a relationship map. Appropriate presentations (PDF, HTML) are generated dynamically using the Apache Cocoon framework. The implications of this case study for a more general publication framework are considered.
