Technology

DPLA as cultural heritage
aggregator
● 11 million+ items aggregated from US
libraries, archives, and museums
● 27+ “Hubs” (primary partners)
● 1,600+ contributing institutions

DPLA: more than an aggregation
● Over 21 million hits over 6 months;
57% traffic via portal; 43% through API
● Support development of open,
community sustaining work
● Facilitate re-use of collections, software,
and standards
● Amplify our own efforts, as well as those
of communities that are like-minded

Motivations for DPLA network
adoption of IIIF
● Promotion and support for open
standards
● Improving usability
● Lowering bar for image delivery and
reuse both within and outside DPLA
● Supporting annotation on and across
cultural heritage resources

Evaluating user experience of
delivering images
● Unclear pathways to access objects
● Too many clicks to get to content
● Various image viewers lead to interface
inconsistency across providers
● Not only true for portal users, but API
users as well!

Impacts on developers using the
DPLA API

DPLA Hubs with IIIF
implementations
● Production: image & presentation APIs
○ Harvard University Library
○ Internet Archive (beta)
● Production: image API only
○ California Digital Library (Calisphere beta)
○ Digital Commonwealth/Boston Public Library
● Under development
○ ARTstor
○ David Rumsey Map Collection

Next steps for a DPLA pilot …?
● Resolve modeling issues with EDM
maintainers and IIIF editors
● Ensure IIIF resources are identifiable in
metadata, either through harvesting or
creating URIs from available identifier(s)
● Prototype, prototype, prototype!

Thanks!

The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can Use

Trevor Owens

As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.

Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital Platform

Trevor Owens

This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure. We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment

University of Toronto Libraries - Information Technology Services

The document discusses Information Technology Services (ITS) at the University of Toronto Library and their approach to managing digital projects. ITS provides a wide range of technology services to support the library's mission. They aim to be nimble, innovative, user-focused, and improve accessibility. ITS uses collaborative project management software to plan projects, assign tasks, track issues, and document work in a transparent way. Two example projects discussed are migrating legacy websites to Drupal and redesigning an article finder tool to be more user-friendly.

Martin Klein

This document provides an overview of ResourceSync, which is a framework for synchronizing web resources between systems. Some key points: - ResourceSync was created to address limitations of existing protocols like OAI-PMH by allowing synchronization of any web resource and enabling both one-time and ongoing synchronization. - It supports various capabilities for synchronization like resource lists, change lists, and notifications. These can be used for initial synchronization or incremental updates. - Real-world examples are described where ResourceSync has been implemented for projects involving aggregation of digital collections, like Europeana and CLARIAH. It facilitates synchronization between diverse data sources. - Presentations were given on how ResourceSync could also be useful

This document summarizes an overview presentation about ResourceSync and its implementations at Hyku and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). Some key points: - ResourceSync was developed as an update to OAI-PMH for synchronizing web resources between systems in a more flexible way. It supports resource lists, change lists, and dumps. - Hyku has implemented ResourceSync publishing capabilities, and the DPLA has developed a harvester for the Hyku endpoint. This allows for incremental metadata updates rather than full resynchronization of data sets. - Next steps include potentially supporting resource dumps in Hyku and harvesting from 3 DPLA providers using ResourceSync by the end of the year

CIL 2020 - Bringing Collections to the Screen

Matthew Ragucci

Our NGA library speakers discuss their procedures and challenges in providing digitized content from their collections via the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), an initiative led by the world's leading research libraries. It is an open source, community-driven technology that aims to provide application programming interfaces (APIs) that support viewing, comparing, manipulating, and annotating images from a variety of repositories. The NGA Library made the decision to implement IIIF alongside its new library system, Ex Libris. Alma and Primo VE products, and our speakers discuss the technical procedures required to integrate the IIIF APIs with the Primo VE discovery client and Alma, the cloudbased library services platform. Members of the NISO Content Platform Migration workgroup discuss their recommended practices document to guide publishers, platform vendors, and librarians through content migrations. Hear about the problems encountered in migrations and the recommendations to make them progress smoothly.

PA Digital and the DPLA

Keystone DH 2016

The document summarizes the development of PA Digital, a collaborative project to aggregate digital collections from institutions across Pennsylvania. It describes how a summit in 2014 led to the creation of a survey to assess current collections. Using the survey results, developers built a prototype aggregator to harvest metadata from contributors using OAI-PMH. The aggregator transformed and normalized the metadata to share with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). Through outreach and governance efforts, PA Digital aims to expand participation and improve features to better serve users.
