Abstract

Digital Libraries collect, organize and provide to end users large quantities of selected documents. While these documents come in a variety of formats, it is desirable that they are delivered to final users in a uniform way. Web formats are a suitable choice for this purpose. While Web documents are very flexible as to layout presentation, that is determined at runtime by the interpreter, documents coming from a library should preserve their original layout when displayed to final users. Using raster images would not allow the user to access the actual content of the document's components (text and images). This paper presents a technique to render in an HTML file the original layout of a document, preserving the peculiarity of its components (text, images, formulas, tables, algorithms). It builds on the DoMInUS framework, that can process documents in several source formats.
