  3. ENCompass system • Core software for K-State Digital Library • Metadata manager • KSU is a software development partner along with– • Cornell University • Getty Research Institute • University of Pennsylvania

  4. ENCompass evolution • ENCompass 1.0 – metadata management system for original local content • ENCompass 2.0 – federated searching and linking for access to commercial resources • ENCompass 3.0 – user authentication, personalized search tools

  5. ENCompass serves two functions for KSU’s Digital Library • To build/manage KSU’s digital collections • To manage access to and linking between KSU’s e-resources

  6. Web Browser ENCompassmetadata manager Local repositories Extension Pubs Grain Elevator Explosion Images

  7. Web Browser Multiple transfer Protocols ENCompass Local repositories Extension Pubs Grain Elevator Explosions XML Gateway HTTP Z39.50 Virtual repositories Google PsycINFO Pub Med

  8. Developing local content Current digital collections • KSU Collegian and K-Stater Index • Grain elevator explosion images • ICAE proceedings, Bejing, China • KSU Research and Extension Publications • Kansas Weather Data • Kansas Wildflowers • Nels A. Tornquist papers finding aid • Precision Agriculture (ISSA Voyager) • Soybean Aphid research (ISSA Voyager)

  9. Developing local contentVarying content, conversion, workflows • Grain Elevator Explosion images • Digital objects (.jpg/.tif) created by DLD • Metadata by Professor Schoeff and DLD • Converted from MS ACCESS to DC XML • Kansas Wildflowers images • Images (.jpg) already on website host server • DC metadata created directly in ENCompass • KSU Research and Extension Publications • Objects (.pdf) already on Extension web site • Metadata by publication authors • Kansas Weather Data • Text and images • Digitizing was outsourced (funded by KDL grant)

  10. User Interface development • XML/XSL-based displays allow great flexibility for local customization • It’s a good thing, too • Power of federated search capability needs to be harnessed • Zentropy Partners consulting on interface design

  11. Extensions to ENCompass • Gateway to Virage video metadata system • Gateway to K-State Online • Gateway to DSpace (Institutional Repository)

  12. Virage VideoLogger metadata tracks • Speech to text • Audio classification • Speaker ID (from audio) • Closed caption • Annotation • Face ID • On-screen text transcription

  13. Developing local content Future collection projects • Unique K-State program areas • Milling and Grain Science • Prairie Ecology • Water Quality • Eisenhower Institute/Military History • Food Safety and Security

  14. Development time frame for 2003 • April-May: Integrate ENCompass access rights management with K-State LDAP • June-July: Zentropy Partners’ Custom User Interface completed • Fall: implement ENCompass 3.5 (Fast search engine, Virage gateway)
