Web Academic Resource Publisher (WARP)
The Web Academic Resource Publisher is a database tool developed by the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre (predecessor to the eScholarship Resource Centre), to enable the scholarly web publication of reference texts. Promoting more than just online reproduction of texts, the WARP facilitates the creation of a knowledge space which becomes a research tool from which new connections, insights and ideas can be discovered and explored.The following resources have been published using the WARP:-
