Algorithm
• Messaging form data from one web server to another
• To facilitate the automatic creation of a digital library
item on the DSpace side
– A text document/word doc which represents the item
– Metadata entry created about that item in Dublin Core DSpace
Registry
• Allows for searching, browsing for the resource in the digital library
– Requires a mapping of standard syllabus fields to the Dublin
Core Metadata standard as implemented in DSpace
• Syllabus fields: course description, topics, grading, assignments…

based upon the form completed by the user
