  1. DIGITAL ARCHIVES Into the Light Gabrielle V. Michalek, Head Digital Library Initiatives Carnegie Mellon University

  2. A Sound Digital Archives • Accessibility • Interoperability • Sustainability • Preservation Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  3. Carnegie Mellon’s Digital Collections • Senator Heinz - 850,000 images • Herbert Simon - 153,000 images • Allen Newell - 145,000 images • Over 1 Million Images Online http://diva.library.cmu.edu/ Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  4. Other CMU Digital Projects • SmartWeb Exhibit http://shelf1.library.cmu.edu/IMLS/MindModels/ • Million Book Project http://www.rr.cs.cmu.edu/mbdl.doc • Universal Library http://ul.cs.cmu.edu/ Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  5. History • 1992 Began work on Senator Heinz Papers • 1995 Developed Helios System to digitize, create metadata, OCR, and provide access to collection • 1999 Applied technology to Simon and Newell Collections • 2000 Migrated to DIVA Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  6. DIVA Digital Information Versatile Archive Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  7. DIVA • New platform • Oracle based • Takes in any XML File • Supports heterogeneous collections • Full text or fielded searching • Browsing and sorting Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  11. Use of Standards • Metadata Creation – EAD, Dublin Core, etc • Imaging – 600 DPI, 8 Bit Greyscale, 24 Bit Color • OCR – ASCII Text • Data Structure – Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  12. Metadata What is it and why is it important?

  13. Descriptive Metadata Data that describes the digital object such as a bibliographic record or finding aid, i.e. MARC record Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  14. Structural Metadata Represents the relationship between multiparts objects, i.e. chapters of a book Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  15. Administrative Metadata “Data that supports the unique identification, maintenance, and archiving of digital objects, as well as related functions of the organization managing the repository”, i.e.who created this object, which software, version was used, etc. Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  16. What We Are Using • Archival Collections - Encoded Archival Description (EAD) • Books, Journals, Photographs, etc. – Dublin Core • Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard - METS Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  19. METS • Incorporates descriptive, structural, and administrative metadata • Allows you to bind heterogeneous collections together and show relationships between information • Becomes a wrapper for the collection • XML DTD http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/ Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University

  20. Goals • Accessibility • Interoperability • Sustainability • Preservation Gabrielle V. Michalek, Carnegie Mellon University
