Ambra Project Information

Ambra is the online publishing system used by the  Public Library of Science and all of it's community journals. Ambra ingests scientic articles stored in a XML format into an RDF database. It is our intention to publicized these articles in a way that the  semantic web can take advantage of. It is still in the early stages of development but things are coming together very rapidly.

The Ambra information model is build using  Topaz and stored in customized  Mulgara and  Fedora servers. Ambra also makes use of an external  SSO server built on top of  CAS. Ambra communicates with these different servers over TCP, thus enabling a distributed production environment.
