  1. AIA 106th Annual Meeting, Boston, Jan. 2005 ETANA-DL(Electronic Tools and Near Eastern Archives Digital Library) Edward A. Fox, Virginia Tech James W. Flanagan, Case Western Reserve U. fox@vt.edu http://fox.cs.vt.edu http://fox.cs.vt.edu/talks/

  2. Problems • Delay in publication of primary archaeological data • Lack of sustainable solutions to long-term preservation of valuable information • Lack of services useful to the archaeology community, including “traditional DL services” • Difficulty in understanding complex archaeological information systems • Difficulty in requirements elicitation for archaeological systems • Interoperability among heterogeneous archaeological systems

  3. Solution – our approach • Applying and extending Digital Library (DL) techniques to solve the following problems: making primary data available, data preservation, and interoperability • Modeling archaeological information systems using 5S theory to better understand the domain and design the system and the supporting services • Rapidly prototyping DLs that handle heterogeneous archaeological data using componentized frameworks: eliciting requirements, providing useful services

  4. ETANA-DL • Archaeological Digital Library • Applies and extends the OAI-PMH • Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Handling • Design considerations • Componentized • Distributed architecture • Extensible • Portable

  5. Heterogeneous data handling

  20. 5SGraph: A DL Modeling Tool • Overall objective of 5SGraph: Help users model their own instances of a digital library (DL) in the 5S language (5SL). • A simple modeling process which enables rapid generation of digital libraries is needed. • Support non-expert users. • Speed-up development process. • Increase the quality of final product.

  21. Goals of 5SGraph • To help digital library designers understand the 5S model quickly and easily • To help digital library designers build their own digital libraries without difficulty • To help digital library designers transform their models into 5SL files automatically • To help digital library designers understand, maintain, and upgrade existing digital library models conveniently

  22. 5SGraph How does 5SGraph work? • 5SGraph loads and displays a metamodel in a structured toolbox. • The structured editor of 5SGraph provides a top-down visual environment for the DL designer. • 5SGraph produces correct 5SL files according to the visual model built by the designer.

  29. Metadata harvesting The World According to OAI Service Providers Discovery Current Awareness Preservation Data Providers

  30. Data and Service Providers • Data Providers • possess metadata and share it (internally / externally) • via well-defined OAI protocols (e.g., database servers) • Service Providers • harvest data from Data Providers • provide higher-level services to users • (e.g., search engines) • Who will fit where in ETANA-DL? • Data Provider – YOUR PROJECT • Service Provider – ETANA-DL

  31. Why be an OAI Provider • Speed up publication • Long-term preservation • Do not need to worry about providing services

  32. How to be an OAI Provider • Requirements • Perl • Web server with ability to run CGI scripts • Download OAI-XMLFile-2.1.tar.gz from http://www.dlib.vt.edu/projects/OAI/software/xmlfile/xmlfile.html • Extract the files into a directory from which CGI scripts may be run • gunzip OAI-XMLFile-2.1.tar.gz • tar –xvf OAI-XMLFile-2.1.tar

  33. How to be an OAI Provider (Cont.) • Want your pottery collection be an OAI data provider? • Create a director “mySitePottery” under ‘OAI-XMLFile-2.1/XMLFile’ • Copy the contents in test5 directory to “mySitePottery” directory • Modify the config.xml under ‘OAI-XMLFile-2.1/XMLFile/mySitePottery’

  34. <?xml version="1.0" ?> … <repositoryName> pottery repository name</repositoryName> <adminEmail> YourAdmin@yourServer</adminEmail> <archiveId> pottery Archive ID</archiveId> <recordlimit>500</recordlimit> <datadir> directory of pottery XML collection </datadir> … <metadata> <prefix> prefix of pottery repository </prefix> <namespace> namespace of your schema </namespace> <schema> location of your XML file schema </schema> </metadata> </xmlfile>
