The Persée platform makes it possible to publish heritage collections of scientific publications electronically. Each publication undergoes a targeted process to highlight its historical depth and its own organization. Very detailed structuring is applied to the contents with a standard-compliant description and collections are aligned with reference data. Persée not only provides the distribution on its portal but also references actions improving the visibility of the publication and is committed to interoperability with other information systems and the sustainability of the content processed.
