6. STATUS: TASK 3.1
• Task T3.1 Initial functional specifications of the prototyping platform (Net7,
UBER, EAJC, MPIWG, ÖNB (task leader))
• Small deviation from the DOW:
• Discussed during the Kick-Off (not formalized till now: MY FAULT)
• Form the DOW: “The requirements will be collected by organizing a workshop jointly with WP1
(ONB/EAJC) and by submitting online questionnaires to the scholarly community (UBER/OKF)”
• Due to time constraints development of the prototype has started based on the draft
specifications posted in the wiki: https://dm2e.hu-berlin.de/redmine/projects/wp3/wiki/
Prototyping_platform
• Goal has been :
• to reach a first draft prototype within M6 (July)
• stabilize features + possibly add new ones within M11 (December)
giovedì 21 giugno 12

7. DELIVERABLE 3.1
• Due for M6 - End of July (?)
• Proposal
• Demonstration of the current state of the prototype + Discussion and validation of results
(today 15:45 – 16:45 session or tomorrow 09:00 – 10:30 session)
• List possible additional features to be implemented
(Net7 + ONB + EAJC)
• Input from the DHAB meeting and from this project meeting
• Assign priorities to features via an online poll
• Net7 to select high priority features feasible within month 11
• Remaining features as input for the challenges in WP4, to be built on top of the
prototyping platform

8. TASK 3.2
• Task T3.2 Building of the prototype platform (Net7 (task leader),
MPIWG)
• Korbo platform first version online at http://korbo.org
• Please request login to Romeo Zitarosa romeozi@gmail.com to test and
provide feedback
• NOTE: it is very alfa: ugly GUI :-) and under continuous development
• Pundit annotation tool (http://thepund.it) enhanced and integrated with Korbo
• Screencasts shown at the DHAB:
• Korbo: http://youtu.be/evyhX89oL-Y
• Korbo + Pundit: http://youtu.be/NUIhhduKJP8

10. STATUS: TASK 3.1
• Task T3.1 Initial functional specifications of the prototyping platform (Net7,
UBER, EAJC, MPIWG, ÖNB (task leader))
• A questionnaire for gathering possible technical specification to make content and
metadata usable in Korbo has been submitted to content partners (ÖNB)
• First draft requirements on provided content to be usable in Korbo in the wiki
• Some feedback received

12. MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR CONTENT PROVIDERS
• From the questionnaire:
• A simple REST API for getting digital objects. Requirements: stable URLs for each digital object.
Support for standard HTTP methods (as GET and HEAD) and headers (as last-modified, content-length,
content-type, content-encoding).
• Feasible for almost all partners (except ONB)
• Minimal requirements:
• Plain images available from a stable URLs
(no application or HTML, just plain image)
• Plain text (XML, txt) available from a stable URLs
• Such URL have to be included in the EDM via the edm:object property
giovedì 21 giugno 12

13. MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR CONTENT PROVIDERS
• Annotable HTML chucks available at a steble URL
• Example HTML chunk:
<html>
<body>
<div class="pundit-content" about="http://example.org/21345">
// arbitrary HTML, possibly simple markup, no javascript
<img src="http://example.org/imgs/21345.jpg"/>
<p>caption, transcription, whatever, bla bla</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
• Where the value of the about attribute (e.g. http://example.org/21345) should be a resolvable to the HTML
chunk itself.
• The EDM should contain a triple like the following
• ex:proxy/provider/12334 <http://purl.org/net7/korbo/vocab#hasAnnotableVersionAt> <http://example.org/12345>
• Is it really necessary?
• If it can’t be done we will live without
• However it would bring benefits

15. TASK 3.3
• Next steps
• Stabilize current version
• Integration of MPIWG tools as add-on/REST services
• In addition, work will be done on an experimental connection
between Europeana and the ECHO collaborative research
platform developed by MPIWG
• Open question:
• How different version of the same object are modeled in EDM
produced in WP2 ?
• This might be relevant to Korbo (Import and augmentation)
