Current Condition





Few new books at libraries.
Few journals subscription.
So that, libraries unable to provide good
information resources.
Internet access ?
Java island is information rich (enough)
compared to other islands.
5
Motivation


By bridging people (from digital & space
divide) and utilizing the LOCAL
KNOWLEDGE,
Indonesian people will able to improve
their literacy.
6
Problems




Their knowledge is locked
Digital and space divide
Telecommunication infrastructure is very
limited and expensive
Computer literacy is low
Inhabitants:
210 million

Mission
Unlock ACCESS to the Indonesian
knowledge

What we need?





We need SOLUTION. Not state of the art of
technology, but a Regional Technology.
Able to run on narrow bandwidth and unreliable
connections.
Familiar User Interface.
Attract individual and institution (knowledge
producers) to share knowledge.
Ease and cheap of implementation and
integration.
Strategies (Society)





Establish a community (IndonesiaDLN) of
knowledge sharing
Type of partner: Institution, Individual,
and Internet Café.
Promote sub-networks: I.e. health,
agriculture, human rights, etc.
Bottom-up approach
License: GPL it !
Strategies (Technical)





Networked: through a national networked digital
library
Distributed: every institutions can manage their
own digital library system
Unified: all knowledge will be unified
Disseminated: all knowledge will be
disseminated (mirrored), bring information near
to the users.
Standardized: using international acknowledged
metadata standard (Dublin Core)
What we share?


Information: abstract and full content of the
LOCAL CONTENT.
Including:






Research report
Final Project, Theses, Dissertation
Article, paper, proceeding, journal
E-book, e-learning material, course material
Clipping, Heritage, Multimedia, expertise directory, etc.
In the form of: document, audio, image, and
video files.
Activities

Develop Software (technical):


Ganesha Digital Library (GDL)
Establish Community (society):

The Indonesian Digital Library Network
(IndonesiaDLN)

Architecture of the Network
Key:
-Standard Metadata
-Protocol
There are a hub
and many digital
library servers.
IndonesiaDLN Interoperability
Metadata Std.


Objective: to manage electronic
resources (documents, audio, video files)
on the Internet among the digital library
networks.
Dublin Core Metadata Element Sets



Simple, multipurpose
Widely used
IndonesiaDLN Interoperability Metadata
Std was derived from NDLTD Metadata
Std (also based on Dublin Core).
Example: Metadata in XML
Metadata is formatted
into XML before
exchanged among the
digital library servers.
All digital library servers
in IndonesiaDLN should
use the IndonesiaDLN
Interoperability Metadata
Standard. Currently is
version 1.1.
Metadata storage


Metadata is stored in database.
XML is used only for synchronization.
18
Identifier



Every metadata will be recognized from its
IDENTIFIER.
Identifier is unique within IndonesiaDLN.
It contains the following information:







Publisher ID
Digital Library Network ID
Type of the electronic resources
Year of creation
Creator
Record number, and
Content theme
Example of Identifier
Publisher ID
Digital Library Network ID
Type of the electronic resources
Year of creation
Creator
Record number, and
Content theme
jbpeismail-gdl-res-2001-ismail-11-idrc
Benefit: Entering URL containing the identifier to any digital library
servers will show the same metadata content.
Example:
http://digilib.xxx.xxx/go.php?id= jbpeismail-gdl-res-2001-ismail-11-idrc
The Synchronization Protocol

Items to be synchronized:




Metadata
Files (optional)
Publisher information
Membership information
21
The Synchronization Services
(1/2)

Using the services of:

HTTP (operational)



Post office :-)




Real time transaction
Good for reliable connection
Burned into CD-ROM
Takes days or weeks
Good for no internet connection at all
Protocol: Currently using IndonesiaDLN specific
protocol, which is similar with the Open Archive
Initiative (OAI) Protocol.
The Synchronization Services
(2/2)
Metadata are:
- sent from LOCAL to HUB
server and,
- downloaded from HUB to
LOCAL server,
through the
synchronization services.
Optionally, the files also
can be sent from LOCAL
to HUB.



IndonesiaDLN will adopt the OAI (Open
Archives Initiatives) protocol / concept.
Further integration with other
international digital library network.
38
Current activities:

Develop the sub-networks:




Indonesian Human Rights Information
System
Indonesian Agriculture Information Network
(this will reach the farmers needs, not only
the researchers)
Indonesian Heritage Network
Indonesian Bibliographic Network
39
International Collaboration


GDL has been successfully installed at an
NGO in Pakistan (contact
[email protected])
Digital Library Network among IndonesiaMalaysia (Penang Library Network, USM)
is being discussed.

You can help developing
countries!



Open access to your digital libraries for
the 3rd world.
Use the OAI protocol and standard
metadata (Dublin Core-based)
Knowledge will be:


Shared
And exchanged
43
Summaries





GDL has proved its abilities to integrate digital
library network in Indonesia.
Able to run on dedicated, dial-up, and behind
proxy internet connection.
IndonesiaDLN is a bottom-up approach
community that grows very fast.
IndonesiaDLN will become a network of
networks.
Possible integration with other international
digital library network (using Dublin Core
metadata standard).
