Aim[edit]

Today, much information about the law of the Holy Roman Empire ("Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation") exists, but is available as multiple artefacts and distributed over several institutions and libraries. The aim of the "Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht" is to provide a digital collection and cooperative working environment for various legal artefacts of the period of the Holy Roman Empire , based on the infrastructure of eSciDoc.

Summary[edit]

ViRR is a virtual research platform for the digital preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage content like images and texts from the period of the Holy Roman Empire. The basis of ViRR is a collection of 42 digitized works.

These scans are published open access and are enhanced with browsing and navigation functionalities. ViRR supports the users in the production of digital content for online presentation and collaboration. This process contains editing of metadata, enrichment of the content with structural information or, in future, enhancement of the collection with related resources such as annotations and transcriptions.

The vision of ViRR is to provide a scientific online workbench for researchers from different backgrounds, working together on the same resources to achieve new insights in their field of interest. For that it is sought to create a virtual environment where the, yet widely spread and loosely coupled, works of the Holy Roman Empire are collected and published.

Future Development[edit]

The development for the ViRR project is finished since end of 2010 the ideas and findings will run in the new project Digitisation Lifecycle.

Functionalities[edit]

A detailed description of all ViRR functionalities can be found on the functionalities page.

Research Context[edit]

Simple accessibility of the research materials via a web application.
Long-term archiving of research materials.
Persistent referencing of a collection and its content.
Improved visibility of the institute and its holdings.

Partners[edit]

ViRR (Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht) is a collaboration of the MPDL with the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR). The institute already has experiences with digital collections, see e.g their Digital Library.

The project is coordinated by Dr. Sigrid Amedick, head of the institutes library. The basic start content of 42 works, the physical as well as the digitized artefacts belong to the holdings of the institute.

Re-Use of ViRR[edit]

The ViRR solution enables to maintain collections of digitized artefacts, such as text corpora, digitized journals or drawings. It provides...

browsing functionalities based on user-defined table of contents (ToCs)
an editing interface for enriching the ToC with descriptive metadata and other structural elements, such as chapters, appendices or folders
import and export of data (e.g. METS)

 == Aim==
-Today, much information about the law of the Holy Roman Empire exists, but is available as multiple artefacts and distributed over several institutions and libraries. The "Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht" will provide a digital compilation and working environment for various artefacts of the period of the German Holy Empire. VIRR will be a published collection and also a cooperative working environment. The collection will be indexed, edited, and enlarged cooperatively within the discipline.

 == Summary ==
-A collection of 15 scanned books (together more than 16000 pictures) represents the basis of ViRR. These scans should become online available with free browsing and navigation functionalities. Further on, the collection should be expanded with the transcriptions of the Table of Contents of the books and later on with the whole transcriptions of all pages.

The basis of ViRR is a collection of 42 digitized works.
-One step further would be to expand the collection with pictures, secondary literature, sources, publications and digitized works from other institutions and projects like the [http://drw-www.adw.uni-heidelberg.de/drw/ DRW], the [http://www.bsb-muenchen.de/Archiv_Einzeldarstellung.395+M57b13bd0f7f.0.html?&L=tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D%3D572 cooperation between BSB and GoogleBooks], information from library catalogs, databases of the institute and further documentations like the [http://www.mpier.uni-frankfurt.de/virtuellerlesesaal/wissensplatform_policey.html Polizeyordnungen].

-Further on, a overall collection of links suitable for the "Reichsrecht" should be integrated analog to the [http://www.mpier.uni-frankfurt.de/virtuellerlesesaal/portale.html link collection of the institute] concerning the whole European History of Law.

For that it is sought to create a virtual environment where the, yet widely spread and loosely coupled, works of the Holy Roman Empire are collected and published.
-Last but not least, a possibility for an overall search in all integrated sources is desirable. This search should include an index and a list of synonyms for the different spellings of the titles.

-* Transcription and markup of the digitized work

-* Search in collection
-* Browse and display collection

-== Basis ==
+== Future Development ==
-Currently, only the digitized work ("Digitalisate") of the relevant books are available [http://inkunabeln.ub.uni-koeln.de/drqedit/ here] (belongs to other digitized work from the cooperation of the institute with the Heidelberger Akademie). All pictures are saved in four different sizes: fil < film < indiv < max. The original Tiffs are hosted by the GWDG. The names of the folders and files are derived from the signatures of the institute (analog to the list of digitized work).
-'''File Formats''':
+The development for the ViRR project is finished since end of 2010 the ideas and findings will run in the new project [[Digitization_Lifecycle | Digitisation Lifecycle]].
-* The images are available as tiff, pdf, jpeg (for colored pictures) and giff (for black and white pictures).
-* During the digitalization, uncompressed images with a high resolution and a 24 bit color depth were created. This images serve as archive format. Based on them, the other formats for the internet presentation and the download are created.
-'''Metadata''':
+== Functionalities ==
-* The bibliographical data of the digitized works can be delivered by the institute in MAB ("Maschinenlesbares Austauschformat für Bibliotheken"). MAB describes one special data structure which is used on libraries for the exchange of metadata.
-'''Copyright''':
+A detailed description of all ViRR functionalities can be found on the [[ViRR_Functionalities | functionalities page]].
-* The source of the digitized works are public domain. The digitized works themselves don't have a copyright, they are free for further usage.
-* Only integrated secondary literature have to be checked for copyright licenses.

The institute already has experiences with digital collections, see e.g their [http://www.mpier.uni-frankfurt.de/dlib/index.html Digital Library].
-* Later on, further books should be digitalized. Therefore, a collaboration with the DTA ([http://www.bbaw.de/bbaw/Forschung/Forschungsprojekte/dta/de/Startseite Deutsches Text Archiv]) will be discussed. The aim of the DTA is to create a digital collection with several hundred million tokens (words) from German documents. This collection should contain the scans and transcriptions of the documents and should reflect a representative picture of the linguistic and cultural development of starting from the middle of the 17th century until now.

-** selection of works
-** digitization techniques
-** digital preservation
-** metadata (METS and TEI for structure metadata, ''should'')
-** re-use and integration with portals (OAI-PMH, ''must'')
-** persistent identification (URNs and/or DOIs, ''should'')
-** accessibility of metadata & digitized works (open access, ''must'')
