We frequently get questions about who is using eXist and if there are any life sites running the software. If you are using eXist in some context that might be of interest to other users or may serve as a reference, please send us a description to be added to this page. Descriptions should be in XML, according to the schema that can be downloaded here. A sample entry is also available. Smaller applications are welcome as they are often good examples for other users.

Authoring system to produce the "Guide thérapeutique" book in XML : the system enables to manage the authoring process of the book (called corpus), using medicaments external databases.
Developed functionalities are : browse and edit (using Epic Editor) the corpus at any structural elements level, search in corpus and medicament databases (fulltext and structure mixed queries), organize (sort, create, delete) "high level" structure of the book without using an XML editor, propagate medicament database updates in corpus, search for unavailable medicaments, secure links, manage index tables, coherence controls, export and transform XML corpus for publishing process (paper and ebook).

Has Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables.
Supports cross-document links.
Has a quite powerful search facility (thanks to eXist).
All content fragments and all ToC/LoF/LoT fragments are served by eXist.
Serves (static) PDF files for printing. Runs in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
Makes rather heavy use of XMLHTTPRequest objects to create rich client.
Has a complex ant-based backend that takes output from FrameMaker+SGML and converts it to XML, and prepares it for import in eXist.
Wants to be a framework rather than a hard-coded application, but so far no time has been found to adapt it to other documents, like the TEI P5.
The code name dynaprism is a contraction of Dyna(Web|Text) and DualPrism (well, who remembers the one or the other?).
The official name is now eRules. There is a world-visible production site and an intranet site with different content.

6. FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg - Computer Science Department 2

8. Information System for Museums, Archives and Institutes

http://museicapitolini.net/

The HyperRecord system is an initiative for the interconnectivity of museums, born from EC project 0760/001001 CLT CA12 (Culture2000) with partners Theological Library, Maribor, and Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rome (Max-Plank Gesellschaft). It connects different museum’s knowledge domains and provides access to their information resources over the Web by defining a common format for identification via Uniform Resource Names. These URNs identify the single items mentioned in the source documents - museums records, inventary data, contextual archival documents stored in DocBook, TEI, or proprietary formats - and, on look-up, yield one-to-many connections between the different resources.

9. Metadata TK, ZOpenArchives and XMLFinder

http://www.pentila.com/produits

Three Plone/Zope products that allow you to turn your eXistDB into an OAI aggregator and repository, perform eXist search from a plone site or create new metadata entries and store them. Visit our site for more informations and downloads.

10. MPEG-7 web browser

http://www.iua.upf.es/mtg/opendrama

A system to search and retrieve information of operatic data, based on MPEG-7 standard.

11. MyCoRe

http://www.mycore.de

MyCoRe is an Open Source project for the development of Digital Library and archive solutions (or, put more generally, "Content Repositories" >> CoRe). In the MyCoRe project a group of universities is working on the development of a shared software core for such applications. This core will be adjustable to local requirements and easy to modify. This is expressed by the "My" in MyCoRe, which represents the local adaptability. On the basis of this core which will be available under the open source GNU General Public License, specific local applications will emerge at the participating institutes. The technical base of the system is formed of Java class libraries, XML technology and the database backend IBM Content Manager and IBM DB2 or an native XML Database System (eXist) and a relational database system such as MySQl or Postgresql.

12. New and used car classifieds in Russia

13. Service-Oriented Contextualised Business Registry

http://www.gria.org/

GRIA is a service-oriented infrastructure (SOI) designed to support B2B collaborations through service provision across organisational boundaries in a secure, interoperable and flexible manner. GRIA's business registry service is part of the Client Management package supporting contextualised service discovery, allowing querying for resources within dynanmic management contexts. The registry allows clients to submit queries such as "Find SLAs for providing Application X where the CPU seconds in the SLA is greater than 1000 and the Usage of the SLA with respect to the used disk space is lower than 500MB". The registry is able to cope with any business context or resource as far as its metadata can be represented in XML. It supports the dynamic addition of new business contexts and new relationships between these contexts.

14. TBRC Digital Library Management System (DLMS)

http://tbrc.org

Online reference tool for accessing scanned Tibetan texts and information about the historical, social, cultural geographic and biographic context of the writings. Each text has a bibliographic entry that has been designed specifically for Tibetan bibliography as well as its corresponding MARC/MODS document (when available). To provide deep access to the texts, an outline is created that provides title, authorship, subject and keyword access to individual writings within the texts. There are currently over 6000 volumes online with over 300 outlines (covering approximately 1000 volumes). This represents 4.5 million pages of scanned texts. The total size of the library will be approximately 15,000 volumes and 10 million pages of scanned pages. Knowledge entry is performed using an Eclipse application with EMF generated models of each object/document type.

15. TELOTA - Project Of The Month

Initiative to inspirit the electronic life of the academy. Every month the data of a selected academy project is processed, (re-)structured and presented on the web to give researchers, scholars and the interested public a new view in the extensive knowledge inventory of the academy. We use eXist as backend for web applications in several projects, like dictionaries and digital editions as well as storage tool in local applications for improving workflow. Two exemplary demonstrations are listed below.

16. Terminology Database

18. XML Powered Assessment System: <sic/>

Web based generic data capture and evaluation tool. The system allows to define a master data dictionary represented as a tree, multiple user input forms based on the dictionary, and multiple evaluation algorithms calculating "results". The results represent, for example, certification categories or total score based on the data entered. They will be used for certification data capture, evaluation and automatic assignment of categories (stars) for rural tourist accommodations in Latvia.
