Computer supported workflow for cataloging and management in digital libraries

Abstract

AbstractService integration is important in digital library implementation. In this paper, we present a project called Extensible Networked Association‐based Bioinformatics Learning Environment, or ENABLE. It computerizes a cataloging workflow by integrating backend services and facilitates interleaving between automatic cataloging & human curation activities. To the user end, it provides various interaction means that support bioinformatics learning. Features of the current implementation include automatic bioinformatics resource harvesting, basic information retrieval operations, resource cataloging and management, visualization and learning tools.
