I am trying to develop a web based document browsing system, that could look possibly something like : http://www.cell.com/trends/biochemical-sciences (then click on "Protein kinases: evolution of dynamic regulatory proteins").

What web technologies should I look at using? AJAX?

Thanks in advance.

AJAX could do the trick, but you'll need more than that.

Getting document sections and pictures with AJAX is half (maybe less than half) the job, as you'll need all the backend code to upload documents, maybe extract document sections from PDF, store documents hierarchically, retrieve the document hierarchy and pictures, and so on.

Moreover, you don't even told us what server-side technology you are going to use... Java, PHP, DotNet... and the database... PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, end the list goes on.

About the AJAX side and web UI, I suggest you take a look at jQuery and jQuery UI.
