DocML: a digital library of university data

Abstract

This paper presents DocML, a Web‐based digital library of university data. The goal is to build a system capable of preserving and managing student assignments efficiently in a university environment. It is based on a three‐tier architecture that is typical for distributed Web applications. Communication between the layers of the digital library and the architectural components that reside in the middle layer is facilitated through an XML standard. XML is also used for the development of a distributed metadata management system that describes the location and content of the digital library’s documents.
