Presentation Transcript

  1. DBClear A Generic System for Clearinghouses Heiko Hellweg, Bernd Hermes, Max Stempfhuber

  2. Facts • Cooperation of the Social Science Information Centre, Bonn and the Lower Saxony state and university library (SUB), Göttingen • Funded by the DFG” • Grant for two project members in Bonn and one in Göttingen from Oct. 2000 to Sep. 2002

  3. Goals • Creation of a generic, database driven portal system for flexible use in different contexts • Arbitrary description elements • Automation • Workflow • Multi linguality • Support for various metadata standards

  4. Description elements and structure • Attributes • Component field structure • Language dependency • Facettes • Categories • Relations

  5. Different Types of Descriptions • Stocks: types of described objects • Slots for attributes and facettes • Constraints • Views on the data

  6. Automation • Content Discovery • Extraction of existing Metadata • Educated guesses • Regular domain specific Queries • Automated Updates • Regular checks of referenced Documents

  7. Workflow Support • Vertical Workload Distribution • Domains of Expertise • Responsibility for certain Stocks or Categories • Horizontal Workload Distribution – e.g.: • formal description • Contentwise description • translation

  8. Technical Architecture Import/ Export Robot daemon Java application or applet XML Servlets Java Framework DB Servlet engine HTML Servlets Web browser Z39.50 client Z39.50 Server

  9. DBClear architecture goals • Multi tire architecture • Open standards • Platform independence • Different means of client access

  10. Flexible Presentation Layer By using XSLT to transform the output, the visual presentation can be adapted

  11. Scenario 1 DBClear as a standalone portal

  12. Scenario 2 Using external data sources

  13. Scenario 3 Integration into other systems

  14. DBClear technologies • Relational database for data storage • HTTP for data transfer • Java framework • Servlet engine • XML-Dom • XSL Transformations • Visitor access at least by plain HTTP/HTML • Administration via HTTP/HTML and java clients • Alternate services (Z39.50 server)

  15. GESIS Clearinghouse „Eastern Europe“ • Ca. 1500 eastern European institutions • „non eastern Europe“ and „non institutions“ are currently being catalogued • Cooperative work with responsibilities aligned according to regional aspects • Automatic checks for document reachability and modifications • Inflexible monolithic Implementation Slides: URLs: Besucherzugang Besucherzugang Mitarbeiterzugang Mitarbeiterzugang Geo-Guide Geo-Guide DBC DBC
