Digital Publishing System Background DPubS Evolved from Dienst –Architecture, protocol, software (~1995) –NCSTRL—Networked Computer Science Technical Report Library CUL digital collections Project Euclid development since 2001 –Significant extension of Dienst

Basic Design Features Logically distinct services performed by separate modules Well-defined and extensible interfaces between modules Object model that allows hierarchical object structures and multiple document formats

Current Use of DPubS Project Euclid ( –Delivery of proprietary serial literature in math and statistics –19 publishers, ~33 titles, 11,000 articles Cornell CS Tech Reports Several digital library collections

Publishing Strengths of DPubS Allows for flexible presentation, navigation, and delivery of content Relatively simple content ingest process Flexible Subscription Service Modular service architecture makes it easy to extend services and functionality

Proposed Enhancements Generalization work, esp. to User Interface Service Editorial management services to support peer-review Enhanced administrative interface and functionality Print on demand capabilities Distributed under Open Source license

Interoperate with DSpace Potential tie-in or interoperation with DSpace and other IRs –DPubS Repository Service acting as an interface into DSpace repository Would require a DSpace repository API DPubS as a publishing tool laminated on top of DSpace –Using DSpace access control mechanisms in place of Subscription Service
