Talk:ViRR Specification

ToDo's, comments for each Rélease

FIRST PHASE - Publication of the digital collection[edit]

Release one[edit]

Ingestion
- scans --> derive from file structure a first skeleton of toc (name of book, sequence of pages)
- bibliographic metadata (currently in MAB) - either entered manually or ingested
- derive basic keywords from title of book (to be checked with institute)
Display (basic)
- thumbnail lists
- basic bibliographic metadata (name of book, page)
- scans
Browsing (basic)
- browsing tree (books and pages), sorted alphabetically by title

ToDos:

ingestion of bibliografic data: either mapping MAB to eSciDoc XML or to Dublin Core, or enter data manually (evaluation by inga?)
relation to eSciDoc METS profile (first draft based on Ingas mapping ebinds<=>METS)?

Already some input from Inga: Generic Mapping MAB=> eSciDoc is not of great help, as MAB is poor in bibliografic information, in addition, each MAB user uses his own adapted MAB and using MAB means running into severe character set problems. If a mapping is needed, mapping to DC might be sufficient. In addition, instead of mapping, manual data entry should be considered, especially when dealing only with 2 books. In any case, new "eSciDoc VIRR profile" might be needed, as genre types and current PubMan Metadata won't cover the VIrr material.

improve quality of image files (based on TIFFs) => for improved thumbnails + additional resolution for web presentation => check concrete requs 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[edit]

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
- editing via simple edit mask or already with METS editor (selection of Editor depends on eSciDoc METS profile)

TO DO:

prepare first draft eSciDoc METS profile (based on bibliografic data needed, descriptive data needed)
decide on recommended METS editor
prepare requirements for FIZ for the METS integration

Release three[edit]

Display (detailled)
- 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
Browsing (detailled)
- 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")
Search
- simple search (one search field "any field")
- advanced search (several special search fields, e.g. one for title, one for author)

Release four[edit]

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