Your DSpace would need an entry for CML in the metadata registry;


Yes, I have done this now. For some reason it took a while for DSpace to
pick this up. I think perhaps it might have cached the pages I was looking
at.

No it doesn't. Not yet. I would like to see it added to the registry in the
next DSpace release. I suppose that means filing an enhancement request in
jira.

I've done this now and it will do for the moment. But what I would really
like to see is a version of DSpace that uses jmol via webstart. This would
allow the rotating image to be displayed in the web page. See
http://ecrystals.chem.soton.ac.uk/28/ for an example of what I mean.

On a related note I wonder if it would be possible to get DSpace to use a
PDF addon so that PDFs could be displayed within web pages? I realise that
an addon is different from launching something via webstart.

Your DSpace would need an entry for CML in the metadata registry; I  
don't know if this happens by default. You also need to configure your  
browser to run jmol on downloaded CML files. It's your browser, not  
DSpace, which launches a PDF viewer to show PDFs.
