D6.1 – Ecosystem Software Platform with Underlying Software Repository, Digital Library and Media Archive

The objective of D6.1 is to make the Ecosystem software platform with underlying Software Repository, Digital Library and Media Archive available to the degree, that the RAGE project can start collecting content in the form of software assets, and documents of various media types. This paper describes the current state of the Ecosystem as of month 12 of the project, and documents the structure of the Ecosystem, individual components, integration strategies, and overall approach. The deliverable itself is the deployment of the described components, which is now available to collect and curate content. Whilst this version is not yet feature complete, full realization is expected within the next few months. Following this development, WP6 will continue to add features driven by the business models to be defined by WP7 later on in the project.

Aprendizagem, mobilidade e convergência digital no ambiente formativo da Portugal Telecom

Com o desenvolvimento das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, as mesmas têm permitido dotar as pessoas de conhecimentos, através de formas mais rápidas e eficientes como é o caso da formação em e-learning. O número de organizações a apostar na formação em e-learning é cada vez maior, tornando-se importante perceber em que medida é que o método é eficaz e quais as vantagens que proporciona à organização, bem como o seu impacto no capital humano. Assim e visando averiguar como esta situação é vivenciada na prática decidiu-se pela realização de um estágio, na PT PRO pertencente Grupo Portugal Telecom. Para a construção deste relatório de estágio foi preciso para além da consulta e análise documental de aquivos internos e intranet, reuniões tidas com os elementos do departamento da Gestão de Formação, onde decorreu o estágio, visando dar uma resposta mais cabal à questão de partida que norteia o estágio: “Qual o impacto gerado pelas ações de e-learning, sua aplicabilidade e satisfação dos colaboradores face às mesmas na PT PRO?” O método utilizado neste estudo foi do tipo quantitativo, tendo sido aplicado um inquérito por questionário construído para o efeito. Face aos resultados obtidos, concluímos que na PT PRO, os colaboradores encontram-se globalmente satisfeitos com o conhecimento gerado e acima de tudo com a aplicabilidade do mesmo nas suas funções de trabalho.

Memòria del plantejament del projecte PADICAT (Patrimoni Digital de Catalunya)

El projecte PADICAT té l'objectiu de dissenyar i produir un sistema que permeti a la Biblioteca de Catalunya compilar, processar i donar accés permanent a la producció digital catalana. En alguns països s'anomena "dipòsits digitals nacionals" a projectes similars, essent els més coneguts el gegant Internet Archive, l'australià Pandora o el suec Kulturarw3. D'acord amb la tendència generalitzada arreu de les biblioteques nacionals, el model de dipòsit que persegueix la Biblioteca de Catalunya és el sistema híbrid, consistent a: - Compilar massivament els recursos digitals publicats en obert a Internet - Impulsar el dipòsit sistemàtic de la producció web dels agents implicats a Catalunya - Promoure línies de recerca per mitjà de la integració dels recursos digitals de determinats esdeveniments de la vida pública catalana. L'any 2005 ha representat el període de planificació i proves del projecte que lidera la Biblioteca de Catalunya, que té previst sistematitzar el dipòsit digital de la producció web catalana en el període 2006-2008. La Memòria del plantejament del projecte PADICAT presenta el recull d'informes tècnics generats per la Biblioteca de Catalunya durant aquesta fase de planificació i proves. El projecte PADICAT compta amb la col·laboració del CESCA (Centre de Supercomputació de Catalunya) i el DURSI (Departament d'Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació de la Generalitat de Catalunya).

Patrimoni Digital de Catalunya, a year and a half experience

E-repositories are part of the e-science, and they are based on the e-infrastructure. The Centre de Supercomputació de Catalunya (CESCA) together with the Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC) started in 1999 a cooperative repository, named TDR, to file, in digital format, the full-text of the read thesis at the universities of our country in order to spread them worldwide in open access, while at the same time, preserving the intellectual copyright of the authors. Since then, four additional cooperative repositories have been created: RECERCAT for research papers; RACO for scientific, cultural and erudite Catalan magazines; MDC for Catalan digital collections of pictures, maps, posters and old magazines; and PADICAT for archiving Catalan digital web content; The main objective of the latter is to archive Catalan web sites. That is, PADICAT collects, processes and provides permanent access to the entire cultural, scientific and general output of Catalonia in digital format. The repository manager is the Biblioteca de Catalunya, as the institution responsible for compiling, processing and distributing the bibliographic heritage of Catalonia, while CESCA is the technology partner. On September 11th, 2006 the repository went into operation for the general public, with some thirty websites archived. After one year and a half, it has 2.720 captures of more than 1.000 websites. This includes 34 million files (HTML, images...) and two terabytes of data. The objective of this paper is to present PADICAT and our experience developing and managing it.We describe the repository briefly, we explain the technology used to implement it and we comment our experiences during its first year and a half.
