Robin L. Dale Director of Digital & Preservation Services LYRASIS Getting Started with the Digital Commonwealth

Introductions Name & organization / role Where are you in your digital project? What do you want to learn today?

Current Participants Portal contributors Boston College C/W MARS, Inc. Massachusetts Historical Society Northeastern University Sturgis Library UMass Amherst UMass Lowell WGBH Educational Foundation Portal & Repository contributors The Governor's Academy, Pescosolido Library North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE) Northeast Massachusetts Regional Library System Public Library of Brookline Watertown Free Public Library as of March 2010

Digital Commonwealth Is… A Portal –contains only the metadata that enables the discovery of the digital objects; it does not contain the actual digital objects. A Repository –stores and maintains all the components of a digital collection (including both metadata and digital objects) according to a framework of policies and standards. By means of its technological infrastructure, the repository provides access to the digital content.

Portal

Participation: Harvested Site Digital Commonwealth will harvest your metadata for inclusion in the portal. –Metadata must be in an OAI-PMH compliant system; OR –An OAI static repository document must be created and hosted on a web server to enable harvesting

Participation: Linked Site Digital Commonwealth will add a link on our portal to your online digital collection. –Included in your annual membership fee.

Repository

Participation: Shared Repository Costs –Year One: $1, objects, up to 2 batches Additional batches: $300+$1/object; up to 500 objects –Year Two+ $500 annual maintenance for previously added collections Costs associated with any new batches

Understanding the DC Repository Hierarchy –Institutions –Collections –Objects

Collections

Objects (Items)

Initial Consultation

Sign Agreement

Step One: Collections Determine potential items / collections for digitization Think about existing collections Do you want to represent existing “collections” as Collections in the repository? –More like your existing collections, but… –Metadata implications

Collections Should it be digitized? Can it be digitized? May it be digitized? Who can host it? What system will be used?

Step Two: Identify the funds

Image by: Internet Archive Image by: Kirtas Image by: NextScan Step Three: Digitize Materials

Establish Quality Benchmarks

Digital Commonwealth Requirements

Digitization Specs (photos) Archival Images / Master Files –DPI: 600 or higher –File format: TIFF –Bit depth: 16 bit grayscale, 48 bit color Access Images –DPI: 300 For printing or detailed viewing on the web –File format: JPEG –Bit depth: 8 bit grayscale, 24 bit color

Image Storage and Presentation File naming –Use a system to keep track of the multiple files associated with one source object Original object Archival TIFF JPEGs Backup/storage copy on CD or tape Print copy –For DigiComm files, use the convention: projectname_filename No special characters other than underscores

Out-house vs. In-house

Digitization Vendors LYRASIS Mass Digitization Collaborative Northeast Document Conservation Center Luna Imaging Digital Ark Backstage Library Works Hudson Microimaging Boston Photo Imaging

Step Four: Metadata Image by Dolphin Software

Metadata Cost 1/3 the cost is digital conversion (32% overall) Slightly less than 1/3 the cost is in metadata creation--cataloguing, description, and indexing (29% overall) Slightly more than 1/3 the cost is in other activities, such as administration and quality control (39% overall) From Robin Crumri, Indiana University-Purdue University, 2003

Metadata Types Descriptive –What is it? –Where is it? –What is it about? Structural –How many files are there? –Which file is on page one? Administrative –What do I need to know to manage it? –Who can access it? –What needs to be preserved? Technical –What is the resolution of the image? –What compression format was used? Image by dchud:

Metadata Standards Metadata format standards –XML Metadata element sets –MARC, MODS, DC, EAD, TEI, ONIX Metadata content standards –AACR/RDA, DACS, CCO Transmission standards and protocols –OAI Controlled vocabularies / Thesauri –LCSH, Getty Art and Architecture

Dublin Core a.k.a. - DC A method of describing resources intended to facilitate the discovery of electronic resources National and International standard –ANSI/NISO standard Z –ISO standard Includes 15 “core” elements Often used for collaborative projects

Simple DC Elements Creator Contributor Publisher Type Format Coverage Source Identifier Title Subject Date Description Rights Relation Language

Why use DC? Image by e-magice-magic

OAI-PMH OAI = Open Archives Initiative OAI Protocol or OAI PMH = Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting Archives ≠ Traditional Archives Open ≠ Free

Metadata Content Standards Rules and guidelines for metadata content Choice usually driven by type of content being described –Anglo American Cataloging Rules (AACR) –Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) –Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO) Digital Commonwealth recommends ISO 8601 for the date field: YYYY-MM-DD

Metadata Standards grid From Elings, Mary and Günter Waibel. “Metadata for all: Descriptive standards and metadata sharing across libraries, archives and museums.” First Monday 12:3 March 2007.
