Diverse Collections
No Single Metadata Standard/Format
Variance in the application of Standards
Many Legacy Systems
Improved Efficiency
Increasing Digital Resources & Assets
VTLS (Virtua & VITAL)
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
A ‘New System’ For NLW
•
•
Existing Data Formats Migrated to MARC21
Integrated Information Management System
controls accession, circulation, statistics,
preservation, etc.
•
Facilitates:
–

–
Combined (& Efficient) Workflows
Reduced Support Requirements
Single Point of Access…
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
Single Metadata Repository
• Why?
– Varied Collections
– Compartmentalised Users
• Why Not?
– Information Overload
– Data Specific Functionality
• Solution: Many & One

Single Point of Access

or Family History…
• Single Point of Access, Single Metadata
Repository, Single Catalogue.
• Resources from many back-end systems:

Subscribed Electronic Resources
Free Online Resources
Digitised/Digital Resources (VITAL)
Stacks (Virtua)

Catalogue
• VITAL
Digital Asset Management System to support the library‘s own
digitised material as well as born-digital material held by the
library.
Examples: Digitised Images, Welsh Journals Online, Digital Audio/Video,
Born-Digital Deposits, Websites Archived with Permissions.
• DOMS
Digital Object Management System to support the legal deposit
material held by the BL & NLW.
Example: eJournals accessioned via Legal Deposit

• Move to fedora-commons a non-profit
organization
• $4.9 million from the Gordon and Betty
Moore Foundation

Future of Fedora
• Fedora not complete out the box
• Vital gives us:
– Enterprise Support
– Mirroring system
– Failover
– Handles (persistent identifiers)
• Integration with catalogue
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
VITAL
• Increased Access Management - users &
groups
• Consortial Architecture
• Batch tool GUI
• Updated User Interface (inc UserInteractivity)
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
Future of VITAL
• Discussions on Meta data formats
– METS, PREMIS and Dublin Core
• Ingest program
– MARC to METS
– METS ingest program
• Management functions
– Checksum checker
• Dissemination programs
– Integration
– Direct access
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
NLW additions to Fedora
• Primary access through catalogue
– Less confusion for the user
– Retain existing skills
– Initially DAMS will hold digitisation images so
catalogue record already exists
• Meta data split:
Catalogue
MARC Records
Descriptive Records
856 Link to DAMS
DAMS
METS Records
Technical Meta data
Technical Preservation Meta data
Rights
Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
Virtua / Vital Integration
• Data held on catalogue
– Reader Username + Password
– IP address
• Authentication happens on DAMS
– XACML

System Architecture
• METS Rights
• Fedora XACML
• Examples:
- Policy
- Enactment
– Repository wide rights
• High quality images only for staff
– Object specific rights
• Embargoes
• Internal only
• Registered uses only

Ingest programs created
Meta data formats decided
VITAL Installed
Mirroring setup
First collection in VITAL
– John Thomas
• Next steps:
–

–
Test failover and backup
Ingest more collections
Update catalogue records so they point to handles.

Digital Asset Management Strategies at NLW
E-Thesis / Repository Bridge
• Part of Library Business
– Provide MARC records:
•
•
•
•
Collective Cataloguing
OCLC
CURL
Etc
– Digital Object Metadata
• ETHOS
• Virtual Digital Archives
• DOMS

– Exchange of Metadata between DOMS/BL
ILS and NLW ILS
– Tagging of DOMS & NLW Records
– Appropriate workflow interaction
– Resource Discovery & Access
