JABLE: compilar, preservar y divulgar el legado hemerográfico canario

[ES] El artículo, después de presentar de manera resumida cual era la realidad de la prensa canaria en el momento en el que la Biblioteca Universitaria de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria decide liderar el proyecto de digitalización, recoge los antecedentes históricos y técnicos de JABLE, portal de prensa digital canaria de la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y el primero en difundirse a través de Hispana y Europeana.

Cultural Heritage Online? Settle It in the Country of Origin of the Work

This article examines the conditions under which a system of extended collective licensing (ECL) for the use of works contained in the collections of cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) participating in Europeana could function within a cross-border basis. ECL is understood as a form of collective rights management whereby the application of freely negotiated copyright licensing agreements between a user and a collective management organisation (“CMO”), is extended by law to non-members of the organisation. ECL regimes have already been put in place in a few Member States and so far, all have the ability to apply only on a national basis. This article proposes a mechanism that would allow works licensed under an ECL system in one territory of the European Union to be made available in all the territories of the Union. The proposal rests on the statutory recognition of the “country of origin” principle, as necessary and sufficient territory for the negotiation and application of an ECL solution for the rights clearance of works contained in the collection of a cultural heritage institution, including orphan works.

Digital Libraries and Portals Saving National Cultural Heritage (IMI–BAS Experience)

The current research activities of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI—BAS) include the study and application of knowledge-based methods for the creation, integration and development of multimedia digital libraries with applications in cultural heritage. This report presents IMI-BAS’s developments at the digital library management systems and portals, i.e. the Bulgarian Iconographical Digital Library, the Bulgarian Folklore Digital Library and the Bulgarian Folklore Artery, etc. developed during the several national and international projects: - "Digital Libraries with Multimedia Content and its Application in Bulgarian Cultural Heritage" (contract 8/21.07.2005 between the IMI–BAS, and the State Agency for Information Technologies and Communications; - FP6/IST/P-027451 PROJECT LOGOS "Knowledge-on-Demand for Ubiquitous Learning", EU FP6, IST, Priority 2.4.13 "Strengthening the Integration of the ICT research effort in an Enlarged Europe" - NSF project D-002-189 SINUS "Semantic Technologies for Web Services and Technology Enhanced Learning". - NSF project IO-03-03/2006 ―Development of Digital Libraries and Information Portal with Virtual Exposition "Bulgarian Folklore Heritage". The presented prototypes aims to provide flexible and effective access to the multimedia presentation of the cultural heritage artefacts and collections, maintaining different forms and format of the digitized information content and rich functionality for interaction. The developments are a result of long- standing interests and work in the technological developments in information systems, knowledge processing and content management systems. The current research activities aims at creating innovative solutions for assembling multimedia digital libraries for collaborative use in specific cultural heritage context, maintaining their semantic interoperability and creating new services for dynamic aggregation of their resources, access improvement, personification, intelligent curation of content, and content protection. The investigations are directed towards the development of distributed tools for aggregating heterogeneous content and ensuring semantic compatibility with the European digital library EUROPEANA, thus providing possibilities for pan- European access to rich digitalised collections of Bulgarian cultural heritage.

Un espacio de construcción pedagógica y científica: el archivo fotográfico Lafuente Ferrari II

La intención del grupo educativo interdisciplinar que forma este PIMCD tiene como objetivo la creación de un espacio de formación docente para los alumnos de Grado en Historia, Historia del Arte, Biblioteconomía y Documentación y Bellas Artes a través de la catalogación, digitalización y estudio del archivo pedagógico de fotografía del profesor Enrique Lafuente Ferrari, Catedrático de Historia del Arte de la Facultad de Bellas Artes a mediados del siglo pasado, a través sus fondos legados y conservados en la Biblioteca Histórica de nuestra universidad. El fondo fotográfico Enrique Lafuente Ferrari cuenta con 11545 diapositivas en placa de cristal que recorren toda la Historia del Arte, desde la Prehistoria al siglo XX, tanto español como internacional. La actuación que se pretende llevar a cabo, limpiar las diapositivas, reubicarlas en sobres y cajas especiales para este tipo de materiales fotográficos, su catalogación mediante una ficha elaborada por el equipo docente y los facultativos de la Biblioteca Histórica, la digitalización del mismo y su posterior inclusión en el catálogo CISNE de nuestra universidad, así como en la plataforma EUROPEANA, continuando así la labor llevada a cabo el año pasado dentro del PIMCD "Un espacio de construcción pedagógica y científica: el archivo fotográfico Lafuente Ferrari I" pertenecientes a la Historia del Arte Español, siendo la Historia del Arte Universal en el que centre este año nuestro PIMCD. El año pasado se realizaron estas labores de conservación, catalogación y digitalización de 5804 diapositivas sobre vidrio realizadas por diferentes fotógrafos y estudios fotográficos tanto extranjeros como españoles de los siglos XIX y XX. Este año se ha completado el proceso de las 5741 restantes.

Persistent identifier Studies

The studies have aimed to overcome the confusing variety of existing persistent identifier systems, by; analysing the current national URN:NBN and other identifier initiatives providing guidelines for an international harmonized persistent identifier framework that serves the long-term preservation needs of the research and cultural heritage communities advising these communities about a roadmap to gain the potential benefits. This roadmap also includes a blueprint for an organisation for the distribution and maintenance of the Persistent Identifier infrastructure. These studies are connected to the broader PersId project with DEFF, SURF, DANS, the national libraries of Germany, Finland and Sweden and CNR and FDR from Italy. A number of organisations have been involved in the process: Europeana, the British library, the Dutch Royal Library, the National library of Norway and the Ministry of Education, Flanders, Belgium. PersID - III: Current State and State of the Art (IIIa) & User Requirements (IIIb) (Persistent Identifier: urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-9g4-i1s) PersID - IV: Prototype for a Meta Resolver System/ Work on Standards (Persistent Identifier: urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-wt1-6n9) PersID - V: Sustainability (Persistent Identifier: urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-o4p-8py) Please note that there are also two broader reports on the project as a whole: PersID - I: Project report and II:Communication.

The Herculaneum Graffiti Project: Initial Field Season, 2014

This article describes the goals and activities for the first field season of The Herculaneum Graffiti Project. Our project fo-cuses on documenting and digitizing to make more broadly accessible the first-century handwritten wall-inscriptions, also called graffiti, in Herculaneum. Following an overview of the presence of ancient graffiti in Herculaneum, this report details the methodology we used to locate and document the inscriptions and the preservation status of ancient graffiti in each insula, or city-block, of the excavations. We further describe the preliminary results of the project’s documentation efforts. We are currently studying, processing, and digitizing these inscriptions and contributing them for inclusion in the Epigraphic Database Roma and EAGLE, the Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy. We conclude with a brief mention of development of The Ancient Graffiti Project, the digital resource and search engine devoted to ancient handwritten inscriptions.
