SubDocuments in Digital Libraries and Learning Tools Dave Archer, Lois M. L. Delcambre, Jeremy Steinhauer Portland State University Portland, Oregon USA
2
Observation Educators cite and import subdocuments in new works far more often than whole documents Current copy-and-paste approach to incorporating subdocs prevents re-finding of original source Work invested in finding useful subdocs cannot be leveraged by other users seeking similar material
3
Idea Provide tools in existing authoring and browsing tools to create subdocuments from source documents Make subdocuments first-class objects in digital libraries, and define relationships between subdocument and parent document library objects Enable authoring tools to import subdocuments and annotate them with origin metadata
4
Proof-of-Concept, 1 Subdocuments in Fedora MS Word modified to allow subdoc export Fedora ingest client modified to create subdocs as first-class library objects, with multiple representation datastreams Fedora modified to support parent-child relations for subdocs and parent docs Fedora browser modified to display parents and children in browse results
6
Proof-of-Concept, 2 Subdocuments in Walden’s Paths Firefox plug-in allows clipping and markup of subdocs from web pages (and inclusion of links to original URL) Modified Fedora ingest client used to import clips as first-class library objects Resulting library objects imported to Waldens’ Paths
8
Conclusions Current authoring and digital library tools sufficient to demonstrate concepts Initial “wish list” of features identified to improve subdocument capabilities in authoring and digital library software
