ABSTRACT

A demonstrator is built that fulfils most of the requirements: EPs from different disciplines have been identified using persistent identifiers and described using OAI-ORE. These descriptions are transformed into web pages that allow navigation between and visualisation of all the described resources. A Java Applet on these web pages is used to visualise the relations between all the resources. Next to these ‘must have’ requirements there have been many ‘nice to have’ requirements implemented too, such as the splitting of different parts, the annotations and the reuse of components within an EP. The resulting demonstrator and the choices that have been made resulted in many topics that require discussion. The most important ones are described beneath.
