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 "Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht" will provide a digital compilation and working environment for various artefacts of the period of the Holy Roman 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[edit]
A collection of 15 scanned books (together more than 16000 pictures; all pictures are saved in four different sizes: fil < film < indiv < max) 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 a semantic indexing of the content, transcriptions of the Table of Contents of the books and later on with the whole transcriptions of all pages.
The next step would be to expand the collection with pictures, secondary literature, sources, publications and digitized works from other institutions and projects like the DRW, the cooperation between BSB and GoogleBooks, information from library catalogs, databases of the institute and further documentations like the Polizeyordnungen.
Further on, an overall collection of links suitable for the "Reichsrecht" should be integrated in line with the link collection of the institute concerning the whole European History of Law.
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.
Possible working scenarios are:
- Submission of digitized work
- Transcription and markup of the digitized work
- Assignment of keywords and synonyms to the digitized work
- Annotations (with different visibilities) of the digitized work
- Adding (external) lexical corpora
- Publishing of digitized works
- Search in collection
- Browse and display collection
- Create personal working sets within the environment
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.
Re-Use of ViRR[edit]
The solution might be of interest to any institute which needs to handle digitized collections of books and other print material.
