Bibliotek i den digitale verden

Hva skjer rundt oss? Noen eksempler:
– Institusjonsarkiv
– Google Books, Google Scholar og lignende
– EU’s forskningsprogram
• eContentPlus, i2010, ICT

Digitale bibliotek
– DELOS modell(er)

Undervisning og forskning i DL
– Curriculum Development, NSF prosjekt v/Virginia Tech;
– IDI
Generelle krav:

Tilgang til data og informasjon uavhengig av tid og
sted

People need to be able to do social stuff like comment,
rate, reference, blog about, embed and mash-up the
materials. That’s re-use. It requires interoperability.

eContentplus 2008 programme
Action 5.4 : Targeted Projects for Scientific/Scholarly content

The improvement of the usability and accessibility of the information is a
cornerstone in the information policy of European Commission. The
rationale behind the drive for the European Research Area was that
centres of information are “scattered across the continent and all too often
their efforts fail to add up in the absence of adequate networking and
cooperation” while the eContentplus programme aims to facilitate
“access to digital content, its use and exploitation, enhancing quality of content
with well-defined metadata, and reinforcing cooperation between digital content
stakeholders”.

ERMACS er et prosjektforslag sendt til EU, fokus på publikasjoner
(interoperable Inst. Arkiv) innen fagområdene Informatikk og
Matematikk.

The European Library
– is a free service that offers access to the resources of the 48
national libraries of Europe in 20 languages.
– Resources can be both digital or bibliographical (books,
posters, maps, sound recordings, videos, etc.).

Currently
The European Library
– gives access to 150 million entries across Europe.
– The amount of referenced digital collections is constantly
increasing.
– Quality and reliability are guaranteed by the 48 collaborating
national libraries of Europe.
– The European Library is a non-commercial organisation.

Status , fortsatt i meget tidlig fase. Tilsynelatende ingen nye
losninger
i2010: Digital Libraries Initiative
Europeana; et pilotprosjekt

Europeana – the European digital library, museum and archive
– is a 2-year project that began in July 2007.
– It will produce a prototype website giving users direct access to some 2
million digital objects, including film material, photos, paintings,
sounds, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers and archival papers.
– The prototype will be launched in November 2008

The digital content will be selected from that which is already
digitised and available in Europe’s museums, libraries, archives
and audio-visual collections.

The interface will be multilingual.
Europeana
i2010 Digital Library Initiative



Arkitektur og tekniske spesifikasjoner er utarbeidet i
prosjektet
Prosjektets siste oppgave blir å anbefale en
forretningsmodell som skal sikre at websidene lever
videre
Prosjektet skal anbefale forskningsområder og
implementasjons-oppgaver som er nødvendige for at
Europas kulturarv blir helt interoperable og fullt
tilgjengelige via multispråklige tjenester
Målet er at i 2010 skal den Europeiske portalen gi alle
direkte adgang til mer enn 6 millioner digitale
lydopptak, bilder, bøker , arkivposter og film
ICT Challenge 4: (2008-2010)
Digital Libraries and Content

Knowledge modelling and processing.
– semantic web technologies
– search engines
– conceptualising and producing digital content as a container of rich objects
that can be individually selected and manipulated is emerging as a trend.

Preservation
– planning, capturing and selection of content need to be automated
– keeping the associated semantics as well as the digital objects; integrity and
authenticity

Reshaping the way we learn
– More abundant, accessible, interactive and usable content and knowledge,
coupled with shifts in demands (future of education and training systems,
productivity, time to competency, focus on intangible assets)

EU-programmene,
eksisterende teknologi - utvikling av ny teknologi?
Korte, og uvitenskapelige, kommentarer om programmene:
 eContentPlus
– Forutsetter bruk av ’gammel’ teknologi. Ikke forskning. Fokus på å
gjøre Eksisterende Innhold tilgjengelig

I2010 (DL)
– Fremmer samarbeid mellom store, europeiske aktører. Bruk av
eksisterende teknologi, lite forskning.
– Skal gi anbefalinger for viktige innsats områder, forskningsfelt.

ICT
– Forskning innen IT, men innhold i begrepet Digitale Bibliotek er
endret
15
Hvor er vi?


Brukerne ønsker ”one stop shopping”
Utviklingen i våre bibliotek tar ikke hensyn til dette
– frittstående systemer
– ulike løsninger
– lite samarbeid mellom bibliotek og mellom bibliotek og den
”ytre verden”

Bibliotekene må fokusere på Interoperabilitet:
– skjema nivå, repository nivå, system nivå

Trenger bibliotekene mer bredde i kompetansen blant
sine ansatte?

Curriculum Development

Prosjektet er finansiert av NSF
– Hoved-partnere:
• Virginia Tech
• Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Informasjonsforvaltning ved IDI

Digitale bibliotek – i vid betydning:
– Digitale objekter skal samles og lagres med
henblikk på at de skal gjenfinnes og gjenbrukes

Vi utdanner ikke bibliotekarer, men vi utdanner
personer som også bibliotekene trenger
Relevant Areas (IDI)


Bio-Medical Retrieval
– Indexing techniques, document classification, personalisation

Multimedia Retrieval
– Search and retrieval of images based on context information
(indexing algorithms)

Search and retrieval of geo-referenced and temporal
information
– Metadata, thesauri, gazetteers


P2P web search

– Interoperability (information, collections)
23
BioMedical Information Retrieval (IDI)

Focuses:
– Finding optimal
document model
– Finding optimal indexing
techniques
– Document classification
– Personalisation

Project: BioTracer
– A system supporting
search and retrieval of
biomedical information
Geo-referenced information (IDI)


Search and IR of geo-referenced and temporal information
Gazetteers; syntactic and semantic mapping
• Syntactic: identify pairs of entries describing the same place
• Semantic: alphabet, spelling, time-variations, subsets ao.

Geo-references in newsarticles => references to maps
• Somewhere between Atlanta and Norfolk, Va., a band from Chicago named Bound
Stems was in its van, barreling along a rainy highway on the way to the 26th annual CMJ
Music Marathon, which starts today. Bound Stems are one of more than 1,000 bands
appearing over the next five nights in more than 60 clubs around Manhattan and Brooklyn,
hoping that half an hour onstage could change their lives.

Mobile applications; how can objects in library collections
be used in distributed and mobile environments, by
different user groups? Hand held devices.
25
Cooperative Mining of Independent
Document Repositories (IDI)



Document repositories contain a wealth of knowledge that can be
discovered through text-mining techniques
New types of repositories have emerged, e.g., personal document
repositories like email folders
Typical approach to mine collections from several repositories:
– Logically merge the collections before performing the mining process

For many application areas this is not possible due to:
– Legal reasons,
– Risk of revealing classified information
– Use of different schemas or ontologies, making merging non-trivial

Challenge:
– Independent processing of collections at each repository, creating
sufficient intermediate data to perform global mining
26
Preservation –
Records Management over Decades (IDI)
Primary objective:

Persistent, reliable and trustworthy long-term archival of digital information
records, with emphasis on availability and use of the information
– Regard the digital representation as the original version and use this in digital work
processes even for information that must be available and in use over decades
– Explore the potential for commercial products/services in this area
Research Topics:
a) Records transition survival (survival of the “bits/files)
b) Search and retrieval (how to actually find relevant information)
•
•
•
Temporal language models
Temporal ranking
Temporal data mining
c) Preservation of evidential value (trust and security aspects)
– Long-term digital storage of ship drawings (Det Norske Veritas)
– Validation and notary services

Min hovedmelding
Biblioteksektoren står foran store utfordringer
 Kampen om å bli beste tjenesteyter er i gang




UH-bibliotekene må være i tet for å finne nye, kreative
løsninger (=> flere do’ers, færre view’ers)
Både dagens og fremtidens utfordringer krever
samarbeid mellom personer – og organisasjoner - med
mange ulike fagspesialiteter
For å være reelle bidragsytere til samfunnet må UH
bibliotekene øke antallet av personer med dyp ITkompetanse
