Abstract

With the development of the World Wide Web, the "information search" has grown to be a significant business sector of a global, competitive and commercial market. Powerful players have entered this market, such as commercial internet search engines, information portals, multinational publishers and online content integrators. Will Google, Yahoo or Microsoft be the only portals to global knowledge in 2010? If libraries do not want to become marginalized in a key area of their traditional services, they need to acknowledge the challenges that come with the globalisation of scholarly information, the existence and further growth of the academic internet

Abstract

This article describes the journey from the conception of and vision for a modern search-engine-based search environment to its technological realisation. In doing so, it takes up the thread of an earlier article on this subject, this time from a technical viewpoint. As well as presenting the conceptual considerations of the initial stages, this article will principally elucidate the technological aspects of this journey. The starting point for the deliberations about development of an academic search engine was the experience we gained through the generally successful project "Digital Library NRW", in which from 1998 to 2000-with Bielefeld University Library in overall charge-we designed a system model for an Internet-based library portal with an improved academic search environment at its core. At the heart of this system was a metasearch with an availability function, to which we added a user interface integrating all relevant source material for study and research. The deficiencies of this approach were felt soon after the system was launched in June 2001. There were problems with the stability and performance of the database retrieval system, with the integration of full-text documents and Internet pages, and with acceptance by users, because users are increasingly performing the searches themselves using search engines rather than going to the library for help in doing searches. Since a long list of problems are also encountered using commercial search engines for academic use (in particular the retrieval of academic information and long-term availability), the idea was born for a search engine configured specifically for academic use. We also hoped that with one single access point founded on improved search engine technology, we could access the heterogeneous academic resources of subject-based bibliographic databases, catalogues, electronic newspapers, document servers and academic web pages.

"Brüssel. Die erste gemeinsame Online-Bibliothek der Europäischen Union ist nach nur wenigen Stunden wegen technischer Probleme wieder abgeschaltet worden. Ein unerwarteter Besucheransturm legte das Portal www.europeana.eu lahm, sagte ein Sprecher der EU-Kommission am Freitag in Brüssel. Die 20 Millionen Klicks pro Stunde habe die Seite nicht verkraftet. "Wir waren ausgerüstet für fünf Millionen Klicks", begründete der Sprecher die Panne. Spätestens bis Mitte Dezember soll die Seite wieder zur Verfügung stehen. Zuvor müsse zusätzliche Computerkapazität im Rechenzentrum der Universität Amsterdam angemietet werden. Bereits am Donnerstagmittag war die Zahl der Server von drei auf sechs verdoppelt worden, nachdem die Seite bereits in den ersten Stunden nach der Freischaltung vorübergehend zusammengebrochen war. "Die Kosten können noch aus dem Budget der Europeana abgedeckt werden", sagte der Sprecher. Europeana macht Dokumente, Bücher, Gemälde, Filme und Fotografien aus europäischen Sammlungen kostenlos im Internet zugänglich. Bisher sind dort knapp drei Millionen Objekte eingestellt, bis 2010 sollen es zehn Millionen sein. Mehr als 1000 Archive, Museen und Bibliotheken haben bereits digitalisiertes Material geliefert. Die Kommission stellt zwei Millionen Euro pro Jahr für den Unterhalt der Plattform bereit. Die Kosten für die Digitalisierung tragen die Mitgliedstaaten."

"Die Europäische Union hat zum ersten Mal eine gemeinsame digitale Bibliothek. Auf dem Internetportal www.europeana.eu stehen seit Donnerstag fast drei Millionen Dokumente, Bücher, Gemälde,Filme und Fotografien aus europäischen Sammlungen zur Verfügung, teilte die EU-Kommission mit. Bereits in den ersten Stunden nach der Freischaltung besuchten mehr als zehn Millionen Internetnutzer die Seite, die vorübergehend zusammenbrach. Die Zahl der Server wurde daraufhin von drei auf sechs verdoppelt. "Wir hätten uns in unseren kühnsten Träumen nicht vorstellen können, dass es einen solchen Ansturm auf Europeana gibt", sagte EU-Medienkommissarin Viviane Reding in Brüssel. Bis 2010 sollen auf dem Portal zehn Millionen Objekte in allen EU-Sprachen abrufbar sein. Mehr als 1000 Archive, Museen und Bibliotheken lieferten bereits digitalisiertes Material. Die Kommission stellt zwei Millionen Euro pro Jahr für den Unterhalt der Plattform bereit. Die Kosten für die Digitalisierung tragen die Mitgliedstaaten. Bisher ist nur ein Prozent aller europäischen Kulturgüter elektronisch verfügbar. Um die angestrebte Zahl von zehn Millionen Werken bis 2010 zu erreichen, müssen die Staaten nach Schätzung der Kommission zusammen weitere 350 Millionen Euro in die Hand nehmen. Wie viel die Mitgliedstaaten bisher aufbrachten, blieb offen. Die EU will die Erforschung und Entwicklung von Technologien in dem Bereich in den kommenden zwei Jahren mit 119 Millionen Euro fördern. Die EU-Kulturminister sprachen sich dafür aus, das kulturelle Angebot im Internet weiter auszubauen und gleichzeitig ihren Kampf gegen Online-Piraterie zu verstärken. "Wir wollen legale glaubwürdige Angebote für Verbraucher schaffen", sagte die französische Ressortchefin Christine Albanel, die derzeit die Ministerrunde führt"

Abstract

The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative was formed to encourage scholarly communication and the sharing of data among researchers who emphasize the relationships between place, time, and topic in the study of culture and history. In an effort to develop better tools and practices, The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative has sponsored the collaborative development of software for downloading and editing geo-temporal data to create dynamic maps, a clearinghouse of shared datasets accessible through a map-based interface, projects on format and content standards for gazetteers and time period directories, studies to improve geo-temporal aspects in online catalogs, good practice guidelines for preparing e-publications with dynamic geo-temporal displays, and numerous international conferences. The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) grew out of discussions among an international group of scholars interested in religious history and area studies. It was established as a unit under the Dean of International and Area Studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 1997. ECAI's mission is to promote an international collaborative effort to transform humanities scholarship through use of the digital environment to share data and by placing greater emphasis on the notions of place and time. Professor Lewis Lancaster is the Director. Professor Michael Buckland, with a library and information studies background, joined the effort as Co-Director in 2000. Assistance from the Lilly Foundation, the California Digital Library (University of California), and other sources has enabled ECAI to nurture a community; to develop a catalog ("clearinghouse") of Internet-accessible georeferenced resources; to support the development of software for obtaining, editing, manipulating, and dynamically visualizing geo-temporally encoded data; and to undertake research and development projects as needs and resources determine. Several hundred scholars worldwide, from a wide range of disciplines, are informally affiliated with ECAI, all interested in shared use of historical and cultural data. The Academia Sinica (Taiwan), The British Library, and the Arts and Humanities Data Service (UK) are among the well-known affiliates. However, ECAI mainly comprises individual scholars and small teams working on their own small projects on a very wide range of cultural, social, and historical topics. Numerous specialist committees have been fostering standardization and collaboration by area and by themes such as trade-routes, cities, religion, and sacred sites.

Abstract

The Renardus project has brought together gateways that are 'large-scale national initiatives'. Within the European context this immediately introduces a diversity of organisations, as responsibility for national gateway initiatives is located differently, for example, in national libraries, national agencies with responsibility for educational technology infrastructure, and within universities or consortia of universities. Within the project, gateways are in some cases represented directly by their own personnel, in some cases by other departments or research centres, but not always by the people responsible for providing the gateway service. For example, the UK Resource Discovery Network (RDN) is represented in the project by UKOLN (formerly part of the Resource Discovery Network Centre) and the Institute of Learning and Research Technology (ILRT), University of Bristol -- an RDN 'hub' service provider -- who are primarily responsible for dissemination. Since the start of the project there have been changes within the organisational structures providing gateways and within the service ambitions of gateways themselves. Such lack of stability is inherent within the Internet service environment, and this presents challenges to Renardus activity that has to be planned for a three-year period. For example, within the gateway's funding environment there is now an exploration of 'subject portals' offering more extended services than gateways. There is also potential commercial interest for including gateways as a value-added component to existing commercial services, and new offerings from possible competitors such as Google's Web Directory and country based services. This short update on the Renardus project intends to inform the reader of progress within the project and to give some wider context to its main themes by locating the project within the broader arena of digital library activity. There are twelve partners in the project from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, as well as the UK. In particular we will focus on the specific activity in which UKOLN is involved: the architectural design, the specification of functional requirements, reaching consensus on a collaborative business model, etc. We will also consider issues of metadata management where all partners have interests. We will highlight implementation issues that connect to areas of debate elsewhere. In particular we see connections with activity related to establishing architectural models for digital library services, connections to the services that may emerge from metadata sharing using the Open Archives Initiative metadata sharing protocol, and links with work elsewhere on navigation of digital information spaces by means of controlled vocabularies.
