Talk:ViRR Scope

ToDo's and comments for each Release:

FIRST PHASE - Publication of the digital collection

Release one

1. Ingestion
   • scans --> derive from file structure a basic skeleton of toc
   • bibliographic metadata: MAB & mapping to MODS
   • structural metadata: eSciDoc container
   • derive basic keywords from title of book (to be checked with institute)
2. Browsing (basic)
   • browsing tree (multi-volume works, parts and pages), sorted alphabetically by title
3. Display (basic)
   • thumbnail lists
   • basic bibliographic metadata (name of book, page)
   • scans

ToDo (Discussion):

• Ingestion of bibliographic data: mapping of MAB to MODS
• Basic skeleton already includes three levels:
  • multi-volume work, e.g. "Vollständiges corpus gravaminum evangelicorum"
  • part Vollständiges corpus gravaminum evangelicorum. Band 7
  • pages
• Rework / clarification of the Container format in eScciDoc (dev. Team) as basis for the METS profile
• Relation to eSciDoc METS profile (first draft based on Ingas mapping ebinds <=> METS)?* Note on basic keywords: Some subjects are provided with MAB record
• Improve quality of image files (based on TIFFs) => for improved thumbnails + additional resolution for web presentation => check concrete requirements with Institute ("schwarze Ränder" on TIFFs would have to be done by institute). Check requirements for resolution needed by digilib
• Functional prototype for Display and Browsing
• Start collecting requirements for the viewing environment DigiLib and set up meeting with user group (Contact@FIZ: Frank Schwichtenberg) (Kristina, Tobias)

Release two

1. Editing
   • enrich toc sceleton with information on chapters (i.e. bundles)(e.g. page 1-5 = chapter 1)
   • add metadata about the chapters, e.g. keywords

ToDo (Discussion):

• editing via simple edit mask or already with METS editor (selection of Editor depends on eSciDoc METS profile)
• prepare a first draft of the eSciDoc METS profile (based on bibliographic data needed, descriptive data needed), based on the basic METS metadata required by the DFG viewer
• decide on recommended METS online xml editor for the acquisition of structural data (which can also be used offline if possible)
  1. GOOBI for METS
  2. Docworks: Meta-e cooperation with css (is not interesting if it works with an automatic recognition)
  3. Shame
• prepare requirements for FIZ for the METS integration

Release three

1. Browsing (detailed)
   • extension of the alphabetical browsing tree (chapters)
   • chronological navigation on book and/or chapter level?(depends on descriptive Metadata! )
   • paginator (for lists)
   • paging for images (i.e. "im Buch blaettern")
2. Display (detailed)
   • integration of digilib functionalities (minimum: zoom in, zoom out)
   • dynamic generation and integration of "identification stamp" ("Herkunftsnachweis") on the images (whole image, selected part of image) --> new Digilib requirement
3. Search
   • simple search (one search field "any field")
   • advanced search (several special search fields, e.g. one for title, one for author)

Release four

1. Functional definition of eSciDoc METS profile
   • needed for import / export
2. Export
   • image selection
   • downloading of selected images(in separate jpgs)
   • downloading of selected images(in one pdf with a cover page)
   • downloading selected part of an image
   • downloading of METS-xml
3. Display keywords as list (cf. Index in a book)
4. Persistent Identifier (PID)

Release ???

required for DFG

1. Collection description
2. URN handling (in the context of an assignment of parts to a multi-volume work)

ToDo (Discussion):

• Evaluation of the results from JHOVE on the images.

SECOND PHASE - Virtual research environment

Following is a list of requirements to be met...detailed release planning at a later stage.

• Workflow for edition process of collection, incl. metadata, images, annotations, external sources (upload, editing, annotating, scientific review etc.)
• User Management to support workflow
• Fulltext transcription online (offline client at later stage) - in METS
• Ingestion/Upload of additional books (digital images + bibliographic metadata) - local resources, BBAW-DTA
• Adding and editing of bibliographic and descriptive metadata
• Adding annotations / comments
• Adding relations
• Integration of external resources (Deutsches Rechtswoerterbuch/Heidelberg)
• Creation and maintenance of synonyms
• Offering metadata to the ZVDD(zentrales Verzeichnis digitalisierter Drucke) and other virtual libraries - OAI interface for the exchange of metadata
• Sitemap protocol for crawlers
• Integration of research literature for download (bibliographic lists? articles?)
• Linking to other digital archives / OPACs /research projects
• Delivery of one complete dataset for the DNB for long term archiving

ToDo (Discussion):

• Structural analyzes of the data of the Deutsche Rechtswörterbuch
• Analyzes of the requirements of the ZVDD
• Text editor for the creation of transcriptions is needed

THIRD PHASE - Productive environment

• Preparation of productive environment (hardware, support, policies)
• Offline tool for image processing to improve image quality
• Fulltext transcription in TEI?
• Additional functionality for historisch-kritische Editionsarbeit?
• Concept ViRR for other local/MPG projects (e.g. Policey-Ordnung)
