exciting new technology that allows for extensive modification and
customization of the default DSpace interfaces. Manakin gives institutions
considerable power to brand and theme DSpace interfaces to match local web
styles, to introduce new interface elements and features, and even to create
new ways for users to interact with objects in the DSpace repository. A sample
Manakin DSpace interface that integrates spatial data coordinated into a
graphical display can be seen at: <a
