The application of workflow management to digital heritage resources
Noticeable proliferation in Digital Library Systems (DLSs) and their specialized form represented in Digital Heritage Resources (DHRs). DHRs usually manage a complex and varied mix of digital heritage objects of different types and formats. This paper therefore presents the design and development of a novel Workflow Management System (WfMS) built to integrate with DHRs specifically, and DLSs in general. An experimental WfMS aimed to test the validity of workflow management integration with DHRs. A novel DHR implementation framework called DISPLAYS (Digital Library Services for Playing with Antiquity and Shared Heritage), is presented as a test bed for the proposed WfMS.
