Dear all,with beginning of the year 1997 the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) promotes a new program, named ,Retrospective digitisation of Library Materials". A technical working group has been constituted to analyse the state-of-the-art in the field of digitisation and to define requirements for the establishing of a Distributed Digital Library in Germany.
The report of this working group (in german language) is now available via the homepage of the Lower Saxony State and University Library at Goettingen (Niedersaechsische Staats- und Universitaetsbibliothek):
URL: > http://www.gwdg.de/~sub/homepage.htm< (,Die SUB stellt sich vor", ,Projekte der SUB")
The report discusses the following topics:
1. Image Capturing 2. Storage 3. Indexing and administrating (bibliographic metadata, internal structurell metadata) 4. Retrieval and access 5. Offering (making available) the digitised documents
Any annotation is welcomed.
