Managing OA multimedia multitype digital documents in the OpenDLib digital library management system

In self-publishing philosophy, authors provide access to their works by depositing them into an OA archive. Before being 'published', documents may be reviewed and edited within a process where authors, reviewers and the system administrator interact. At the start of this process, authors must upload a copy of their work. This paper describes the OpenDLib service for self-publishing. After briefly presenting the DoMDL Model, the functions for submitting documents by the authors and for managing the publishing process by reviewers (if requested) and administrators are described in details.
