 Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is a service unit within the Max Planck Society (MPG)  MPG consists of about 80 institutes in three scientific sections  the Chemistry, Physics and Technology Section  the Biology and Medicine Section  the Human Sciences Section  The core activities of the MPDL lie in building up service infrastructure and tools for publications and research data  MPDL develops software solutions in close cooperation with scientists, librarians and technicians  In the Human Sciences Section several institutes have digitized cultural artefacts and want to make them open access The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) in a Nutshell

Which data are managed?

How?  PubMan – Publication Management  VIRR – Textual digitized resources management  IMEJI – Image management

PubMan: Management of publications

 Collaboration of the MPDL with the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History  Motivation: The period of the Holy Roman Empire produced a enormous corpus of legislative sources.Till now no complete collection of this works exist. VIRR is about

ViRR Key features  Web-based collaborative application  Editor (bibliographic metadata, table of contents and structural metadata)  Viewer (online representation)  Browser

ViRR Editor  Combines a set of tools  Paginator  Table of Contents Editor  Metadata Editor  One complex, but flexible workspace  No default order for the usage of the tools

ViRR Editor - Paginator  Assign the logical page numbers to the physical ones  Choose between different formats (Arabic, Latin, custom)  Paginate manually or automatically

ViRR Editor - ToC Editor  Gather the logical structure of a work by breaking it down in structural elements  Arrange the hierarchical order of structural elements in the tree  Assign scans to structural elements  Choose from fine granular structural element types (over sixty)

ViRR Editor – Metadata Editor Assign descriptive metadata to structural elements  Detailed description of every structural element  Systematic browsing  Dedicated search will be possible

ViRR Viewer Browse by scan Browse by ToC Navigate to page View metadata of structural element Page (web resolution) Page (full resolution) on click

ViRR: Sharing and reuse

From ViRR to Digitization Lifecycle Project  Goal  support the complete Digitization Lifecycle with guideliness, standards, tools and a publishing platform  Partners:  MPI for European Legal History, Frankfurt MPI for European Legal History  Kunsthistorisches Institut, Florenz (KHI) Kunsthistorisches Institut  Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rom Bibliotheca Hertziana  MPI for Human Development, Berlin MPI for Human Development  Related projects:  ViRR (see  XML-Workflow (see

Imeji: Management of image collections

Imeji: repository of Digital Images Organized into  Collections Created and defined by the institution, project, working group  Albums Created and defined by the researcher

Imeji: what is so different about it? Imeji is not Flickr, nor Facebook...  Freely definable metadata profiles at collection level  Controlled Vocabularies may be integrated  Smart search for dates, ranges (based on the metadata type) Helps gathering the metadata more effectively Focusses on collaboration and metadata quality Repository: Data can be exported at any time

CoNE – Control of Named Entities Content negotiation supported

Transformation Service ●Transforms textual data formats ○Metadata ○Resources ○Standard formats ○Specific formats (e.g. EndNote custom fields) ●Motivation ○Migration of data from MPI ○Exports and dissemination ○Imports ○Continuous interoperability enhancement ○Implement once, use wherever needed

Search&Export Service Ciation style manager ●Searches and exports results ●Citation styles (Citation style manager) ○EndNote ○BibTex ○… ●Reuse ○Data delivered in multiple formats (PDF, HTML, XML, ODT) ○By external systems (content management, wordpress) ●Motivation ○Search results should be available in various outputs ○One service – many presentations (e.g. Wordpress Plug-in) ○One interface – easy inclusion of various export formats

Validation service  Semantical validation  Contextual validation  Validation rule editor (upcoming)

Data acquisition service Fetches data from known sources via identifier (unAPI interface) Transforms data to other format

Pubman SWORD Server Deposit of data packages (metadata and fulltexts) Logic implements a pubman specific workflow

PID Cache manager ●Fetches Handles from the GWDG Handle System (dummy resolution) ●Assigns a pre-fetched handle to the resource ●Synchronizes the assigned handle with the resolution to a resource in the Handle system EPIC – European Persistent Identifier Consortium (GWDG Germany, SARA Netherlands, CSC Finland, )
