ESciDoc Solutions summary
|
- Solutions follow a user-centered development, by close cooperation with pilots and partners from the institutes.
- Solutions make the benefits of a service-oriented architecture visible to the enduser, by re-using and integrating different services to support the disciplin-specific usage scenario.
- Solutions are based on the eSciDoc framework and are developed to satisfy the needs of particular institutes. However, care is taken that the solutions generalize and also strengthen the common framework. At this point of time, preference is given to solutions with a strong contribution to the general framework.
- For optimal re-use, solutions have customizable workflows and graphical user interfaces (local branding)
Based on heterogeneous digital objects stored in a common infrastructure, we are currently working on following solutions:
PubMan - Publication Management[edit]
A solution designed to address the management, the dissemination and the long-term archiving of publication data of a research organisation. Publication data in this context refer to formal/informal publications, grey literature and supplementary material.
Institutes involved in developement:
Fritz-Haber-Institut, MPI Plasmaphysik, MPI Informatik, MPI Gravitationsphysik, MPI Physik komplexer Systeme, MPI chemische Oekologie, MPI molekulare Genetik, MPI Psycholinguistik
WALS online - world atlas of language structures[edit]
The solution provides publication and long-term archiving of interdisciplinary results in anthropology and linguistics. Focus of research are correlations between structural characteristics within different areas of grammar as well as possible geografical patterns.
Institutes involved in development:
MPI evolutionaere Anthropologie
FACES[edit]
The solution provides publication of a collection of photographs of human emotions by different facial expressions. The respective mark-up of the data enables comparative analysis, e.g. by gender, age and emotion expressed.
The solution might be of interest to any institute which is maintaining collections of pictures/images.
Institutes involved in development:
MPI Bildungsforschung
ViRR: Virtueller Raum Reichsrecht[edit]
The solution provides a virtual collection of the legislation in the historical periode of the "Heiliges Römisches Reich deutscher Nation" (Sacrum Romanum Imperium). It focuses on integration of fulltexts in library catalogs, links to relevant scientific literature as well as semantic indexing of the content.
The solution might be of interest to any institute which needs to handle digitized collections of books and other print material.
Institutes involved in development:
MPI Europaeische Rechtsgeschichte
