Abstract
This presentation gives an overview of the CustomDP
system. CustomDP supports four kinds of
learning material: SCOs (Sharable Content Objects),
sharable resources, referenced content and
aggregations. There are four user groups each with a
different set of permissions: learners, content
creators, validators and chief editors. Learners have the
least permissions, mainly for searching and
reading learning material. Metadata makes it possible for
the users to find learning material they really
need.
The CustomDP system has a typical three-tier application
architecture. The system is be used with a
web browser. The user interfaces are mostly HTML. The
tool for creating aggregations is implemented
as a Java applet. The HTML user interfaces are generated
with Java servlets in co-operation with an
open-source presentation framework, Barracuda. A
relational database is the major data repository.
However, images and XML files are stored in the file
system. The system runs in two locations. Most
of the servlets and the database run in servers located
in Finland. Servlets for displaying content run in
Germany.
