[Dspace-general] Authoring tool development & publisher collaborations

[ajh@cvt.dk]

Hi Michael

Ihere are a few scenarios for your proposal, as I see it
  1) You do not integrate your webpage for submission with DSpace, having
  to go into DSpace to do the submission and metaentrence  2) You keep your interface seperate from the DSpace, but push your data
  (metadata and digital objects) with a METSupload/importer. This is the
  job we are looking for together with MIT.  3) You go for en extention of DSpace Meta-data-interfacing. Here you can
  get an idea by looking at the work done in "Thesis Alive"...
Let us know about your work as it goes on. We certainly would be
interested in the possibilities of getting a publication workflow put
together. Cooperation depends on detailed considerations on such a
workflow.
