3. Outline Problem Approach 5S, 5SL 5SLGen Case Studies Conclusion and Future Work

4. Problems Lack of general models for Digital Libraries (DLs) Little focus on simplifying the process of modeling and building DLs Divergent DL architectures Monolithic: Tightly integrated and generally inflexible Componentized: A network of interoperable components aggregated without a design methodology

5. Problems (contd.) Lack of DL-specific modeling languages, software toolkits, prototyping and CASE tools Lack of a scenario-based requirements analysis and design approach to DLs Implication: Problems with Interoperability Customizability

6. Approach Based on the formal 5S theory Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios and Societies Use of Domain-specific declarative languages (5SL) Scenario-based requirements analysis and design Componentized architectures Automatic transformations/mappings from models to code Special attention paid to issues of flexibility, reusability, and extensibility

7. Approach: 5SLGen 5SLGen is a new generic digital library generator. It has been developed, implemented, and deployed in several applications. 5SLGen yields implementations of digital library services from models of DL “societies” and “scenarios” (and from the other “Ss”).

21. Conclusion Introduced a scenario-based approach to the generation of componentized DLs Applied the 5SFramework for generation of DLs Partially validated the theory of 5S Demonstrated that complex DLs can be built on the basis of a formal theory Adherence to open standards (OAI-PMH, ODL, XMI, UML) and established design patterns (MVC, GOF’s State) ensures relevance and extensibility of our work.
