ContentE: Flexible Publication of Digitised Works with METS

摘要

This poster addresses the problem of the publication of digitized works. It presents the solution developed at the National Library of Portugal, where nearly one million of images were created in the last year, from a wide range of original genres (manuscripts, maps, posters, books, newspapers, etc.). The solution is based on a tool named ContentE, which supports the creation, import and editing of structural descriptions of works, making it possible to record them in XML using the METS schema. The tool manages also collections of style sheets, making it possible to create multiple publication copies, as XHTML sites. This solution can be used as a standalone tool, with a graphic user interface, or embedded in a web-service, for automatic publishing.
