The British Library implemented a 6 step program to integrate and provide discovery of its archive and manuscript collections online using information standards. The steps included: 1) procuring a catalog system based on archival description standards, 2) migrating legacy records to the new system and standardizing data, 3) developing persistent identifiers, 4) clarifying rights and licensing, 5) sharing metadata openly and in multiple standards-based formats, and 6) getting involved in standards development to promote archives standards. This process enabled providing greater online access and discovery of the Library's collections through its new integrated catalog and resource system.
The document discusses the Integrated Archives and Manuscript System (IAMS) project at the British Library, which aims to create a unified cataloging and discovery system for the Library's archival and manuscript collections by developing an internal cataloging system and data model that incorporates standards for archival description and allows for hierarchical relationships and multilingual data. The project has already launched a public interface for searching the catalog and continues working towards additional goals like integrated access to digitized materials and enabling open data exchange.

The Library as a Digital Research infrastructure: Digital Initiatives and Dig...lorna_hughes
Memory institutions have built up expertise and taken the lead in all aspects of digital humanities, especially the development and implementation of digital methods for the capture, analysis and dissemination of archives and special collections, including manuscripts. In recent years, these initiatives have become embedded into Digital Humanities Initiatives, Centres and Programmes within research libraries, adding value to the existing relationships between libraries and scholarly iniatiatives. These activities have fostered the development of new projects that bring into collaboration the skills and expertise of academics, librarians, and digital humanists, making the Library increasingly a “digital research infrastructure”. This presentation will discuss these developments based on the experience of the Research Programme in Digital Collections at the National Library of Wales, specifically discussing some recent experimentation with new methods for manuscript digitization and dissemination, including hyperspectral digitization of the Library’s Chaucer manuscripts. The presentation will also discuss the wider embedding of this work within the European Digital Humanities Context, through collaborations with the ESF Research Network Programe NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities).
Digital Manuscripts Toolkit, using IIIF and JavaScript. Monica Messaggi KayaFuture Insights
FOWA London 2015
Monica is part of the DMT project at the Bodleian Libraries (University of Oxford) that aims to create a toolkit using IIIF standard (http://iiif.io) for images, a server solution (to store images of manuscripts and metadata), and a client solution using JavaScript to build an authoring tool that allows editing the manuscript manifest and its metadata. Working specifically on the authoring tool, and on the challenges that different types of manifests presents for the developer. You will have a glimpse of the whole picture and then she taps into the libraries used, choices made, collaboration experiences and lessons learned so far.
This document discusses Biblissima, a project that aims to interconnect data about medieval manuscripts from various French libraries and research institutions on the semantic web. It describes Biblissima's data, which includes information on manuscripts, texts, people, places, and more from over 40 databases. The challenges of integrating this heterogeneous data are discussed. Biblissima addresses these challenges through data alignment, cleaning, and publishing the data as RDF linked data using vocabularies like FRBRoo. This allows the data to be interlinked, enriched, and shared to increase visibility and usability for both humans and machines.
The process of book publishing starts with Manuscript Acquisition. This Slide Examines the process of acquiring and assessing manuscripts as well as the decision to publish or reject a manuscript.
This document discusses the challenges of creating an interoperable framework for presenting digital manuscripts. It notes that current repositories exist in silos, preventing access and sharing across systems. The goal is to break down these silos by separating data from applications, sharing data models and programming interfaces, and enabling tools and repositories to interact. A proposed solution involves using a "canvas" approach and linked data technologies to align multiple representations and allow annotations to be shared across repositories. Funding from the Mellon Foundation supported numerous digitization projects but lacked ways to share data between systems.
Europeana Regia presentation at eChallenges 2011 conferenceEuropeana Regia
The document summarizes a digital collaborative library project between five European partners to digitize and provide access to over 800 rare manuscripts from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The objectives were to build a multilingual metadata repository, produce high-quality digitized content for Europeana, and make the textual and image content available to both scholars and the general public. Challenges included producing and aggregating metadata in six languages from different formats and systems, and addressing the needs of different types of users. The digitized collections and metadata would be made accessible through each partner's local digital library and aggregated in Europeana through a central portal.

The document discusses how digitizing manuscripts can help turn them into cultural heritage by enabling scholarly work like modeling, aggregation, and annotation. It provides examples of projects that have developed tools and standards to publish digitized collections as linked open data, including Europeana and DM2E. The goal is to advance beyond simply emulating manuscripts and instead use semantic technologies to facilitate new digital humanities research through contextualization, reasoning over triple sets, and generating digital heuristics.
Expanding Horizons - Ideas into Practice. Martyn Wade.Twin Cities Conference: Innovation into Practise- New Service Concepts, Helsinki and Turku, Finland, 13-16 May 2009
The document proposes a "Canvas paradigm" to represent manuscript pages using annotations across different repositories. It allows bringing together images, text, and commentary without all being in one place. Initial experiments had students use tools like T-PEN and DM to transcribe and annotate pages from BNF hosted on Stanford servers. Next steps include extracting and sharing student work in new displays and projects.
The document discusses the IAMS (Integrated Archives and Manuscript System) project at the British Library. IAMS aims to integrate the Library's fragmented archives and manuscript collections by developing a single cataloguing and resource discovery system. It will use common standards to describe entities like archives, persons, places and subjects. This will allow data sharing and provide unified access. The system is being developed in modules, with cataloguing completed and a public search interface launched. Standards like ISAD(G), EAD, and NCA Rules form the basis of IAMS' data model and will provide benefits like increased access and future interoperability.
The document discusses the Integrated Archives and Manuscripts System (IAMS) project at the British Library. IAMS aims to deliver a unified catalog and discovery system for the Library's archival collections. So far, IAMS has migrated data from 40 systems into a single catalog with over 1 million records expected by 2011. A public interface called SOCAM provides search and discovery tools for archive collections. Future work includes enabling ordering and access to digital materials as well as developing standards-based data exchange.
The British Library launched the Integrated Archives and Manuscript System (IAMS) to provide access to its extensive collections of unique archives and manuscripts. IAMS features an innovative data model, has migrated over 1.5 million records from legacy systems, and provides access to digitized materials through its public interface. While celebrating its successes, the British Library aims to continue migrating additional collections, integrating IAMS with digital preservation and delivery systems, and making metadata openly accessible.
Opening up the archives: from basement to browserAmanda Hill
The document summarizes the current state of archive gateways in the UK that provide access to archival descriptions and collections. It describes several existing networks like Archives Hub, AIM25, and A2A that aggregate finding aids from different repositories. Archives Hub aims to be a single point of access for archives in educational institutions. It has grown significantly since starting as a pilot in 1999 and now includes descriptions from over 150 repositories, though some collections only have brief level descriptions while others include item-level details. Future plans include transitioning to a more distributed model where repositories can host their own data and moving to new protocols to expose the data.
The document discusses the Bodleian Library's efforts to address the challenges of preserving personal digital collections. It notes the rapid growth of personal digital media and the need to adapt archival practices. The Bodleian's project, called futureArch, aims to transform its capacity for hybrid archives over three years by establishing workflows, roles, infrastructure, and access methods for born-digital materials. FutureArch will help the Bodleian better preserve, process, catalogue, and provide access to creators' digital archives.
The document summarizes the development of electronic resources in Spanish academic libraries over the past 15 years. It describes the establishment of REBIUN, a national consortium that coordinates activities like a union catalog and statistics collection. It also outlines the types of electronic resources available, including databases, e-journals, and digital libraries. Challenges are discussed around licensing models and ensuring long-term access to content. The conclusion emphasizes adapting services to new user needs and collaborating closely with faculty and researchers.
1. Managing digital collections presents new challenges for libraries as collections become more hybrid in nature, incorporating both physical and born-digital materials.
2. The Bodleian Library's futureArch project aims to transform its capacity for managing hybrid archives over three years by establishing new workflows, training staff, and developing infrastructure like a digital archive system.
3. Personal digital collections are an emerging issue as individuals increasingly capture their lives digitally; the Bodleian must adapt to maintain its role as a repository and establish trust with creators of these collections.
The Bodleian Libraries have undergone several organizational changes including building new facilities, upgrading their IT infrastructure, and increasing digitization efforts. Specifically, they are building a new depository and research center, implementing a new integrated library system, improving search capabilities, and digitizing over 150 million pages with Google. Funding challenges also necessitate income generation through sources like licensing digital collections.

The document provides an organizational overview of developments at The Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford. It summarizes changes to buildings, including a new Bodleian Depository and renovations to existing libraries. It also outlines updates to the IT infrastructure, including a new integrated library system and improvements to search technology. Additionally, it notes the Libraries' efforts to digitize special collections and archive personal digital materials of scholars. Funding changes are discussed, as the Libraries now rely more on own income sources due to cuts from the University.
The document summarizes developments in Cambridge University Library's transition to more digital resources and services. It discusses how the library has shifted significant portions of its materials budget to online journals and databases. It also describes the library's implementation of a new "resource discovery" platform to help users more easily search and access the library's diverse digital collections, which had previously been scattered across different systems. Additionally, the document outlines the library's "COMET" project to publish a large portion of its metadata as open linked data on the semantic web.
Bibliographic control and library automation have evolved significantly over time. Standardized formats like MARC have facilitated processing and cataloging workflows. The Library of Congress and bibliographic utilities like OCLC have played key roles in developing shared bibliographic databases and standards. While some libraries conduct original cataloging, many engage in copy cataloging and leverage records from these central sources. Centralized and cooperative approaches help improve efficiency.
Towards a national archives network - Nick Kingsley (The National Archives)RDTF-Discovery
The document discusses the history and current state of archival networks in the UK that aim to provide a single access point for catalog descriptions of archives from different institutions. It notes that while various networks have been established, they are often not comprehensive or sustainable due to separate funding streams. The National Archives is exploring using linked open data approaches to better connect descriptive elements across networks and repositories.
The document discusses efforts by the University of Amsterdam Library to increase efficiency through adopting international metadata standards and outsourcing tasks. It outlines the library's current situation and goals to do more with fewer resources by focusing on unique materials, tasks, and improving user experience. The library's roadmap includes selecting a new integrated library system, adopting MARC21 and other international standards for cataloging and data exchange, and outsourcing various back-office functions. The future plans include piloting cataloging directly in WorldCat and linking the local catalog to WorldCat using various protocols and services.

This document discusses the challenges and current status of developing linked open data at The European Library. It outlines challenges such as different data models among member libraries and different definitions of restricted metadata. It describes the data being published as linked open data, including bibliographic metadata and enrichments. Current implementations follow the Europeana Data Model and link to external datasets like VIAF and GeoNames. Next steps include discussions to refine the data model and identify additional datasets and services to provide.
Discovering libraries's gold through collection-level descriptionsValentine Charles
This document discusses efforts to aggregate and enhance collection-level metadata from various European libraries to improve discovery of digitized and non-digitized materials. Only about 10-12% of collections are currently digitized. The European Library collects metadata from over 50 contributors and has enhanced over 500 collection descriptions. Collection descriptions are being integrated into research platforms like CENDARI to facilitate historical research by connecting sources to relevant questions. Future work includes linking collection metadata to full text and other data sources.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
