  1. Adolf Knoll NationalLibrary of the Czech Republic Manuscriptoriumseamlessaccess to oldEuropeanwrittenheritage

  2. Digitizingmanuscripts • 1992-1993 – pilot projectsfor UNESCO • 1995-1996 – startingroutinework • 2000 – launch of nationalprogrammefordigitization of oldmanuscripts • 2003 – launch of Manuscriptorium DL • 2007-2009 – EU ENRICH projectto support aggregationservice • Today – growing on

  3. Metadata framework • 1996 – own SGML approach (a kind of predecessor of XML) – DOBM language (in 1999 recommended by UNESCO for the Memory of the World programme) • 2002 – TEI P4 extended MASTER approach (masterx.dtd) • 2009 – TEI P5 schema for description of manuscripts (enrich.xsd) / METS rejected • 2012/2013 – inclusion of long-term preservation metadata Two migrations of complex digital documents until co-development of the fully international solution based on TEI P5.

  4. Providing access • In the beginning only off-line • Several manuscripts mounted on the web • Researchers showed interest in on/line access • Manuscriptorium Digital Library launched 10 years ago • Manuscript owners had to agree

  5. Manuscriptorium Digital Library Metadata • TEI P5 enrich.dtd internal format • Document description • Structural map • Possibly image description Data • WWW recommended formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) • Tile solution for maps • Full texts (TXT, TEI) Central database Remote data repositories: those of Manuscriptorium and of partner digital libraries

  6. Theproblem • Dispersedrarecollections in space • Usersneed to travel: • Physicallyfromone place to another • Virtuallyfromoneapplication to another (differentbehaviours, rights, tools, opportunities, etc.) • Solution: to takeeverythingunderone interface: • Portal: users are navigated to remoteapplications • Digital Library: userswork in one place

  7. Digital library • Metadata are in thecentral database • Data (images, full texts) are in thecentral data repository • Metadata are in thecentral database • Data (images, full texts) are in partner repositories • Growthsecuredthroughrepeatedharvests of descriptions and structures • Parallel re-use of data Central model, e.g. World Digital Library Distributed model, Manuscriptorium

  8. Virtual aggregation P1 P3 P2 Central database Po Px Pm Pn P… Pz MNS Data repository P – image repository

  9. Seamless aggregation • All metadata indexed in the central database incl. the structure • Images from partner repositories called into the unique presentation interface • Browsing as if everything were on one place • Enhanced use of images

  10. Cooperation • OAI harvest of agreed profiles • Profiles as large as possible • Internal TEI P5 format able to accommodate: • Library descriptions (MARC-based) • Scientific descriptions (TEI-based) • Off-line batch ingest where OAI inapplicable • Production for Manuscriptorium

  11. Production for Manuscriptorium • Partner has images without suitable metadata (description & structure) • M-TOOL application, now online, producing TEI P5 (enrich.dtd) compatible files • M-CAN application for upload, control, and offer of xml files (behaviour as if in real Manuscriptorium), while images stored on home servers

  12. User personalization • User personallibraryfor: • His virtualcollections • Static • Dynamic • His virtualdocuments (anyfilefromany partner librarycanbecome a component part of a newdocument; thisonecanbedescribed in M-TOOL online in conformitywith TEI P5 specificationfordescription of manuscrips – enrich.dtd)
