This project is developing a lightweight infrastructure for deploying workflow services into digital libraries that can be tailored to meet users' unique needs. Such workflow requirements typically involve multiple stakeholders distributed across different organizations who must coordinate their actions. Recent advances in event messaging systems, hypermedia, and Web-based technologies (such as XML), are being used to create a lightweight workflow technology to help the stakeholders of a digital library coordinate their shared activities. The technology is being designed to support a low entry barrier to use, multiple computing platforms, and a certain level of autonomy to the individual organizations that adopt it. Evaluation of the project's techniques and technology is being undertaken using the workflow processes of three "real-world" digital libraries: the Web Portal to the Scientific Computing Division of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the JESSE electronic journal, associated with the Digital Library for Earth System Education, and the JIME electronic journal.

该项目正在开发一个轻量级基础设施，用于将工作流服务部署到数字图书馆中，并可进行定制以满足用户的独特需求。此类工作流程要求通常涉及分布在不同组织中的多个利益相关者，他们必须协调他们的行动。事件消息传递系统、超媒体和基于 Web 的技术（例如 XML）的最新进展被用来创建轻量级工作流技术，以帮助数字图书馆的利益相关者协调他们的共享活动。该技术旨在支持较低的使用门槛、多种计算平台以及采用该技术的各个组织的一定程度的自主权。该项目的技术和技术的评估正在使用三个“现实世界”数字图书馆的工作流程进行：国家大气研究中心科学计算部门的门户网站、与地球系统教育数字图书馆相关的JESSE电子期刊以及JIME电子期刊。
