User interfaces for publication management in web environments focus on a set of interaction patterns deriving from dissemination, harvesting and archiving of scientific publications.

Life cycle of interfaces for publication management are accompanied by a set of methods:

Pattern Library

The interface pattern library has been developed primarily to aim at publication management. It is subject to be extended towards other fields as well.

http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/images/5/5a/All_Status_AlbumEdit_31_Hover.gif Interface Drafts

Drafts can be seen as first approache to ideas and specific problems. They are triggered by requirements, redesign or evaluation outcome. Please feel free to discuss them in place. As drafts are neither standardized nor agreed artefacts, they are not documented in depth.

• Advanced/Expert Search
• Detail View: Providing Lists of Authors
• Detail View: Providing Lists of Authors II

http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/images/5/5a/All_Status_AlbumSolo_31_Hover.gif Interface Concepts

Interface concepts enhance sprecification issues or provide collateral documentation for development during design phase.

• Menu-Wording: Using of Verbs and Nouns
• Input Data: Treatment of Large Forms
• Navigating Functionality: Breadcrumbs Usage in Web Applications
• Messaging: System Messages
• Organizing Layout & Display: Application Layout
• Organizing Layout & Display: Persistent Application Header

Concepts should include participation as far as possible. Usually prototyping is done during the workshop with attendees. Paper or graphical prototypes will be extended later towards interface drafts.
