Digitization Lifecycle Sandbox

MPDL,Digitization Lifecycle

Overview
The Digitization Lifecycle Sandbox is (currently!) a clone of the VIRR (Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht) Solution. The sandbox will serve as a playground for the partner institutes. The MPDL will ingest sample data into the sandbox, in order to enable the partners to play with their digitized resources. Since the initial instance of the Digitization Lifecycle Sandbox is based on the existing VIRR solution, all artefacts will be hosted under a single common collection, where they can be accessed by all participating institutes. (Later versions of the software will of course allow separated collections per institute and/or workgroup): The sandbox will regularly be updated with the newest enhancements/developments of the Digitization Lifecycle software.

Prerequisites for the Ingestion Process
The MPDL will need the following components for the ingestion process:

1. The scanned images preferred format: TIFF accepted format: JPEG If the file names will not allow to infer the physical order of the delivered images, we will need some information on the order as well.

2. Metadata preferred format: MAB record(s). accepted format: MODS alternative format: any text file containing a minimal set of metadata, such as title, author, etc.

Ingestion Process
Once we receive your images and your metadata, we will ingest your books/journals/anything into the sandbox instance. When the process is finished, you will receive an email notification, and you may start playing.
