Paper Abstract:
|
We present our efforts towards the development of a digital library environment built to support medical research in the Medical School of Athens University and emphasise the issues considered and the proposed solutions. Access to medical images produced by Medical School laboratories is facilitated. A different collection is supported for the material produced by each laboratory to fulfil specific user requirements. One of the main requirements during system development was automated collection definition and implementation. We introduced the term dynamic collection management to denote the support of automated collection definition and management within an integrated Digital Library environment. The way this feature affects performance was also examined. Athens Medical School Digital Library is built according to a multi-tiered client-server model and is based on IBM Content Manager platform. The experience obtained while using the prototype version of the system is also presented. |
