2. Order of presentation From a library perspective, this project provides the opportunity to examine & test new ways to curate scholarly digital content Agenda Motivation – learning to curate to meet scholar expectations Digitization workflows; a mix of generic & custom Transcription, metadata, & other post-digitization workflows Portal design – principles & implementation (preliminary) Looking forward 2 Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/ 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies

3. Meeting scholar expectations Multiple access routes –More than just the library online catalog –Collection can be entered at any point Support for multiple granularity of resources –Book, emblem, pictura,... Sustainable links –Persistent URLs for book, emblem, pictura,... –Can be referenced even at sub-object level Links to vocabularies, increasingly as linked data –Iconclass –LCSH 3 Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/ 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies

4. Multiple ways to discover and link to content Traditonal Library OPACMass Digitization Scholarly Portal As an example: Consider discovery & access points for Johann Vogel's Meditationes emblematicae de restaurata pace Germaniae Disciplinary Portal

5. Discover & use content at multiple granularities Handle Thumbnail Motto Iconclass

6. Sustainable links Persistent identifiers using recognized standards –CNRI Handles, PURLs, DOIs, ARK,.... –Content can be moved, but URIs remain the same Use tools that support scholarly citation –W3C Media Fragments, OpenURL (djatoka), Momento –Scholars need to be able to cite segments of a resource –Repositories must version and archive 6 Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/ 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies

7. Persistent identifiers

8. Citable segments http://djatoka.grainger.illinois.edu/adore- djatoka/resolver?url_ver=Z39.88- 2004&rft_id=http://emblemimages.grainger.illi nois.edu/meditationesembl00voge/JP2Proces sed/meditationesembl00voge_0010- 0011.jp2&svc_id=info:lanl- repo/svc/getRegion&svc_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt :kev:mtx:jpeg2000&svc.format=image/jpeg&s vc.level=5&svc.rotate=0&svc.region=1152,316 0,320,568

9. How do we get there? Leverage generic workflows for digitization –Create range of standard, useful derivatives Augment with content-specific post processing –Additional metadata & description –Additional derivatives tailored to prime audience Specialized portal tailored to target audience 9 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/

10. Archival JP2 images Cropped JP2 images Scan the book & produce JP2 Stitch associated images together Crop Pictura Digitization

11. Outcomes of generic digitization

12. Custom post-digitization processing Motto transcription & normalization XML metadata generation for emblems Iconclass heading assignment Based on: A Spine of Information Headings for Emblem-Related Electronic ResourcesA Spine of Information Headings for Emblem-Related Electronic Resources by Stephen Rawles (2003) Create additional derivatives

13. Linked data and vocabularies Web has always been about relationships between & among information resources Linked data rules: –Use URIs as names for things –Use HTTP URIs so that names can be de-referenced –Provide useful information when names de-referenced –Include links to other things so they can be discovered Goal: Build applications that discover relationships 13 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/

14. Linking through controlled vocabularies “Iconclass is a classification system designed for art and iconography.” Attributes:  hierarchical  notation reflects hierarchy  both labels & keywords Using iconclass heading assigned to an emblem as an anchor to connect to other emblems with same or related headings Search results for Emblems with same or related iconclass headings Search results for Emblems with same or related iconclass headings Select an emblem Select an emblem Select an iconclass heading Select an iconclass heading Browse/Select an iconclass heading Browse/Select an iconclass heading

15. LC Subject Headings as linked data 15 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/ Book Information – Derived from library catalog records

16. Creating Emblematica Online Portal Providing integrated search / browse portal for digitized emblem resources –Different levels of access points –Leverage mixed granularity of images & metadata –Leverage sustainable links, linked data opportunities offered by book & emblem registry, topic ontologies –Anchor to the original repositories Must be a collaboration between users & libraries 16 Digital Emblematica http://emblematica.grainger.illinois.edu/ 30 June 2011 - Society for Emblem Studies
