  13. ETANA Digital Library Core Components - DigKit • DigKit (DK) • Tools for collecting and recording archaeological data in the field • Metadata will migrate to DigBase (DB) • Real-time collaborative archaeology: metadata in DB will be rapidly available to others

  14. ETANA Digital Library Core Components - DigBase • DigBase (DB) • Central repository - stores metadata • Union catalog - for collections that are in ETANA-DL • Various kinds of digital objects – excavation records, images, text collections, etc. • General services - Search, Browse, Annotate, Recommend, etc. • Archaeology-specific services - artifact analysis, visualizations, artifact interpretation, workflows, etc.

  17. Digital Library Content

  18. Digital Libraries in Computing and Communications Technology Space Digital Libraries technology trajectory: intellectual access to globally distributed information Communications (bandwidth, connectivity) Computing (flops) - e.g., VT’s Terascale Computing Facility, 10 teraflops - 3rd fastest in world Digital Content less more

  19. 5S Model - Informally • Digital libraries are complex information systems that: • help satisfy info needs of users (societies) • provide info services (scenarios) • organize info in usable ways (structures) • present info in usable ways (spaces) • communicate info with users (streams)

  32. 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

  33. What then is an Open Archive? • Any WWW-based system • accessed through the well-defined interface of • Open Archives Protocol for Metadata Harvesting • Also known as OAI-Compliant Repository • No implications for: • Physical storage of data • Cost of data • Metadata and data formats • Access control to server • Will my current digital system be affected? NO • An Open Archive is built separately without disturbing the data or the current system

  34. Introduction to ODL(Open Digital Libraries) • Open Digital Libraries • Framework for componentized Digital Libraries • Design principles for components • Protocols for inter-component communications • Built upon OAI
