The architectural design and implementation of SMDB is based on SemperTool "webUtil" framework. The framework is written by Salam Baker Shanawa. Since 2001 the same author has developed and implemented a number of products, at Lund University Libraries - Head Office, using this framework. e.g.

• Electronic Library Information Navigator - ELIN
• Directory of Open Access Journals - DOAJ
• Journal Info - JInfo
• Archive for DAISY-talking books - ALI
• Lund University Publications - Registration Tool - LUP

The following products and services will be available soon
