Problem statement “dedicated tool set is still lacking”

(Breure, 2010) “lack of suitable open source tools for

authoring an interactive publication and for reading or using it” (Thoma, 2006)

“clear obstacles for researchers to embrace EPs, extra effort is needed to add research data to a publication” (v/d Heuvel, 2010)

5

Research questionWhat is the desirable functionality of an authoring tool for enhanced

publications?1. What are the properties of enhanced

publications? 2. What tools are currently available for

producing an enhanced publication?3. Is there a match between properties

and available tools?

6

Hypothesis Current tools are not suitable for

authoring an enhanced publication. Time consuming Lack of functionality

Thoma, 2006 Created prototypes using:

Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, Flash, HTML

Easy to use = low interaction High interaction != easy to use

Developed tool to assist in interactive tables (ITAG)

SCOPE

Forge

system which is designed to enable scientists to easily author, publish and edit scientific compound objects (OAI-ORE compliant)

designed to streamline the process of adding interactive capability to the media objects by providing an easy and intuitive set of procedures, and where possible, through the use of wizards.

Open Journal Systems

DPubS

Utrecht University is currently working on a project for Enhanced Publications, they are adapting OJS to make it work for publishing EPs

open-source software system designed to enable the organization, presentation, and delivery of scholarly journals, monographs, conference proceedings, and other common and evolving means of academic discourse
