Automated business-to-business integration of a logistics supply chain using semantic web services technology

In this paper, we present a demonstrator system which applies semantic web services technology to business-to-business integration, focussing specifically on a logistics supply chain. The system is able to handle all stages of the service lifecycle - discovery, service selection and service execution. One unique feature of the system is its approach to protocol mediation, allowing a service requestor to dynamically modify the way it communicates with aprovider, based on a description of the providers protocol. We present the architecture of the system, together with an overview of the key components (discovery and mediation) and the implementation.

Transquotation in EBooks

This paper describes the use of transquotation in eBooks to support collaborative publishing. Users are able to prepare content on a wiki and assemble this into a publishable eBook. The eBook content should remain connected to its origin so that as the wiki content changes, the eBook may be revised accordingly. The problems raised in creating a transquoting eBook editing environment include transforming wiki content into a suitable presentation, mapping selections back to plain-text, and mapping existing selections into the presentation space for review.

Using ePub as framework for the automated collection, tagging, and transformation of web content for cross-media publication

In this paper, we describe the development of Page2Pub, a Firefox extension for gathering, unifying, and publishing a wide variety of web based materials.
