Using templates for presenting publication references in CRIS

Abstract

One of the software requirements of the research information systems is creating different kinds of reports about published results. A part of the CRIS UNS system is a software component for reporting implemented using the FreeMarker package in which the reports are generated as the outputs of the appropriate templates. Adding new templates to the component does not require the recompilation of the source code. The component’s input is the list of the references and a template, whereas the component’s output is the HTML representation of the references. The paper gives illustrative examples for the different reference styles.
