08/06/2001SPACE S.p.A4 Focus on Cultural Heritage Management System

08/06/2001SPACE S.p.A5 CH Data Management: Hot topics Management of the heterogeneity of the information and documents systems Management of the heterogeneity of the information and documents systems. Creating a structure making the interaction possible on machines characterized by different hardware and software. Managing the recovery of documents catalogued and memorized on different supports and making their visualization homogeneous to the user. Management of distributed databases Management of distributed databases Access given databases requires a structure to keep a dynamic vision of the system. The problem to keep a continuos updating of the transfer of the material. Access to the archives and to the documents catalogued in several ways (author, thematic, subject…) Access to the archives and to the documents catalogued in several ways (author, thematic, subject…) Attempt to manage the recovery of an interest document in a lower amount of material, refining the research. The principal problem is to establish what can be the subjects and the hierarchy between of them.

08/06/2001SPACE S.p.A7 Architecture of Node 2

08/06/2001SPACE S.p.A8 Suggested Standards Protocol Z39.50 (CIMI Profile) Protocol Z39.50 (CIMI Profile) In order to make all databases accessible from a single interface. Maps the host databases searching and retrieval capability on to the Z39.50 Profile. The reference system hold indexes to be able to respond to the users queries, without reference to the local DB. Metadata system (Dublin Core) Metadata system (Dublin Core) Querying or retrieving various type of digital documents is executede directly at metadata level. Metadata represent the vehicle by which digital documents can be efficently indexed and retrieved
