I have just remembered that we first did this on the AKT Project, a
multi-institution project which ran from 2000 to 2007.
We set up a repository for the project, and assigned papers to subject
categories based on the research areas.
We were then able to provide summary pages for each area, which additionally
had a list of our publications in that area, retrieved dynamically from the
eprints repository (using the include facility Les mentioned).
The project finished in 2007, but the site can be seen, for example at
http://www.aktors.org/publications/acquisition/
Actually we were doing something similar for the technologies description
and personal details, making queries to the triplestore to retrieve the
information as RDF and format into html; possibly the first web site to make
routine use of RDF in this way.
Of course, some of the bits are a little broken, after several years without
maintenance, but it still sort of works.
8 or 9 years later, it all seems rather odd to think of building web sites
any other way.
Not my site, but this might also illustrate what you are asking:
If you look at eg
http://www.iam.ecs.soton.ac.uk/projects/475.html
You will see relevant publications included at the bottom, because the repo
has project associations for publications, and similar things happen for
research Groups, etc..
