The RMap Project: Capturing and Preserving Associations amongst Multi-Part Distributed Publications

The goal of the RMap Project is to create a prototype service that can capture and preserve maps of relationships amongst the increasingly distributed components (article, data, software, workflow objects, multimedia, etc.) that comprise the new model for scholarly publication. The demonstration will provide a tour of some of the features of the initial web service prototype. This will include examples of Distributed Scholarly Complex Objects (DiSCOs) and associated provenance data in RMap, as well as some of the options that users might have for interacting with the framework.
