Digital libraries face significant challenges beyond providing traditional library services.
One new challenge is supporting the collaborative work of a digital library's stakeholders. One such task is managing the workflow associated with digital library activities, such as reviewing a new submission or classifying existing materials. Digital libraries have unique workflow requirements because their workflows typically involve multiple stakeholders distributed across different organizations who must coordinate their actions. Lightweight technology should have a low entry barrier to use, support multiple computing platforms, and provide a certain level of autonomy to the individual organizations that adopt it. This project will make use of these new techniques to develop lightweight infrastructure for deploying workflow services into digital libraries that can be tailored to meet their unique needs.
