  2. DPubSDigital Publishing System An electronic publishing application that enables…. publishers to organize, manage, present, and deliver both open access and subscription controlled scholarly communications; and users to discover, navigate, and access scholarly content.

  3. Evolution of DPubS • Origins in Cornell Computer Science department, mid-90s • NCSTRL—Networked Computer Science Technical Report Library (1995-98) • Project Euclid development, 2000-2003 • DPubS development project, 2004-2006

  4. Functionality developed for Euclid • Full-text format neutral • Full-text indexing • Flexible access control options for publishers • E-Commerce (pay-per-view) • OAI 2.0 compliance • Usage statistics for subscribers/publishers • Reference linking • DOI registration • Referral Service

  5. Lessons learned from Euclid • We must accommodate multiple and mixed business models • We must accommodate publishers’ requests for enhancements and greater functionality • We must expect, and design for, unanticipated publishers’ requests

  6. DPubS development • Mandate: generalize and enhance the Euclid software and release as Open Source • Funding period: 2004-2006 • Development agenda: • Generalize the system • Administrative interfaces • Addition of editorial management tools • Allowing interoperability with institutional repositories, such as Fedora and DSpace
