| some patches from 2.1.9)<br/> |
| <strong><em>Short summary:</em></strong> Major Reference work in Wiley |
| InterScience, first of many to be published using Cocoon-based architecture. |
| <br/> |
| <em><strong>How can we verify this site is actually built with Cocoon?</strong> |
| </em>Check out the X-Cocoon-Version header...</p><p><strong><em>How much time did it take to build the site from design to |
| publication?</em></strong><br/> |
| Original IA Specification in October 2005, specs for source XML took |
| approximately 2 months, actual build 3 months; 3 Cocoon-based engineers, 1 |
| focusing on search, 1 on XHTML/CSS, and one on the rest of the site. We also had |
| some hard-working Content people working on pre-rendering of XML blobs and |
| MathML images, and a whole bunch of people in India marking up the XML content |
| documents.</p><p><strong><em>How much traffic does the site handle?</em></strong><br/> |
| 20000 hits on launch day (24 July 2006).</p><p><strong><em>What made you choose Cocoon to build the site?</em></strong> |
| <br/> |
| 6 month review of available technologies, Cocoon stood out on handling of XML, |
| Caching, Component re-use and the Sitemap. We also love Views and the concept of |
| Flows.</p><p><strong><em>What other information do you want to disclose (e.g. how does it |
| work, how did you build it, what parts of Cocoon did you use)?</em></strong></p><p>We've actually got some other parts of the site already implemented using |
| Cocoon, namely ForwardLinking (Citation-Tracking link on Journal Abstract pages: |
| Crossref web-service based), Author Services (production process tracking for |
| authors: uses web-services and FlowScript), plus our (yet to be launched) RSS |
| and OPML feeds, and will be moving forward with the rest of InterScience |
| along-side a back-end re-architecture.</p><p>We've been able to re-use a number of components from the other Cocoon |
| projects already, and the bulk of Cocoon work for this site has been XSL and |
| Sitemap wrangling, rather than application-specific Java code.</p><p>We wrote our own Generators and Transformers for DB access and Search |
| integration (we use back-end CORBA repositories and custom DOA for DB access, |
| and a legacy Verity engine for search), plus some generic transformers for SAX |
| manipulation, e.g. pulling single nodes for our AJAX based topic-tree out of a |
| huge source document. However, the bulk of the functionality is XSLT based, |
| using a file-system store (i.e. exactly the kind of thing Cocoon was designed |
| for), preferring Inclusion to Aggregation in most cases.</p><p>Access control is not implemented using Cocoon simply due to an existing |
| available web-server plugin, although we use a Cocoon-based 'Action' for access |
| control in other parts of the site.</p><p>Cocoon has vastly improved our abilty to deliver feature-rich sites on-time |
| and on-cost, plus, its fun!</p><section name="Computer Science Department 2 Erlangen University" style="background:none;padding:0;"/><p><em>Date added: 2006-06-29</em></p><p>Webpages of the programming systems group at the Friedrich-Alexander |
