Laatudokumentoinnin kehittäminen selluteollisuuden koneiden ja painelaitteiden valmistuksessa

Diplomityön tavoitteena oli tuoda esiin ratkaisu dokumenttien hallintaan liittyviinongelmiin valmistavassa tuotannossa. Dokumentaation hallinnan perusongelmia valmistuksessa, johon liittyy lakien ja direktiivien asettamia asetuksia sekä vaatimuksia, on mm. paperisten ja sähköisten dokumenttien käytettävyys. Paperiversioiden allekirjoittaminen ja aitouden varmistaminen on helppoa, mutta sähköisen dokumentin allekirjoittaminen ja todentaminen on vielä kehityksen alla. Pitkäaikaisarkistointi sähköisen dokumentin osalta on myös vaativaa, koska pisimmät säilytysajat voivat olla 30 vuotta ja tietotekniikan kehitys tekee huimia harppauksia tässä ajassa. Tutkimusmenetelminä käytettiin kvalitatiivista ja kirjallisuustutkimusta selvittämään dokumentoinnin nykytilaa Savonlinna Works Oy:ssä ja muualla sekä kirjallisuudessa esitettyjä menetelmiä dokumentoinnin kehittämiseen. Työn tuloksena on esitetty dokumenttien hallinnan periaatteet yleisesti ja tuotteiden dokumentointiin liittyvät muutokset, jotka pohjautuvat tutkimustuloksiin. Lisäksi on esitelty kolme järjestelmävaihtoehtoa dokumenttien hallintaan, joiden ominaisuuksia on vertailu keskenään ja pohdittu käytettävyyttä Savonlinna Works Oy:n organisaatiossa.

L’archivage numérique des projets « Europan » comme situation d’analyse scientifique du concours d’idées en architecture

Il existe somme toute peu de théories du projet offrant une modélisation construite à partir de la complexité et de la diversité du projet d’architecture. Pourtant,certaines situations rassemblant parfois plusieurs dizaines de projets s’offrent d’elles-mêmes comme des situations comparatives et expérimentales : les concours d’architecture, d’urbanisme et de paysage. Le Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle de l’Université de Montréal (Aménagement), après avoir développé un système d’archivage numérique des concours canadiens, a entrepris, avec le soutien du Groupement d’intérêt public « Europe des projets architecturaux et urbains », de développer la base de données documentaire des concours d’idées Europan. Au-delà des questions d’archivage numérique, se profilent clairement des possibilités de théorisation s’appuyant sur les logiques d’une base de données, en particulier sur la constitution du diagramme entités et relations, modélisation indispensable à sa traduction informatique. Cette recherche entreprend une première mise à jour de ces éléments conceptuels et tend à montrer que la base de données est un véritable modèle théorique du projet ouvrant sur de nouvelles avenues de recherche et de connaissance.

Digital radiology and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

Plain radiography still accounts for the vast majority of imaging studies that are performed at multiple clinical instances. Digital detectors are now prominent in many imaging facilities and they are the main driving force towards filmless environments. There has been a working paradigm shift due to the functional separation of acquisition, visualization, and storage with deep impact in the imaging workflows. Moreover with direct digital detectors images are made available almost immediately. Digital radiology is now completely integrated in Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environments governed by the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. In this chapter a brief overview of PACS architectures and components is presented together with a necessarily brief account of the DICOM standard. Special focus is given to the DICOM digital radiology objects and how specific attributes may now be used to improve and increase the metadata repository associated with image data. Regular scrutiny of the metadata repository may serve as a valuable tool for improved, cost-effective, and multidimensional quality control procedures.

Sistema de community cloud aplicat a la preservació digital personal (personal archiving) PYRAMID

La preservació digital (PD) s'ha convertit en un problema persistent per a tots els que vulguin conservar la seva informació digital, garantir el seu estat i consultar aquest informació en el transcurs del temps. Fins ara només grans institucions amb coneixement expert i eines especialitzades han pogut fer front a aquest problema, però la preservació digital no pot ser abordada per una sola institució o nació. Les biblioteques, arxius i altres institucions de conservació de la memòria comparteixen aquest repte de la mateixa manera que els col•leccionistes i creadors, que ho fan a títol individual.L’objectiu del projecte és crear l'aplicació Pyramid que està concebuda com una eina de suport orientada a l'usuari domèstic (sense coneixements tècnics ni de preservació) per a la preservació a mig i llarg termini de col•leccions digitals, texts i vídeos, tal que funcioni com un antivirus (en BackGround) i preservi la informació sense requerir un cost addicional a l'ordinador i que l'usuari no noti cap molèstia a l'hora de fer les seves tasques diàries

Accuracy and cost- and time-effectiveness of digital clip versus videotape interpretation of echocardiograms in patients with valvular disease

Background. Although digital and videotaped images are known to be comparable for the evaluation of left ventricular function, their relative accuracy for assessment of more complex anatomy is unclear. We sought to compare reading time, storage costs, and concordance of video and digital interpretations across multiple observers and sites. Methods. One hundred one patients with valvular (90 mitral, 48 aortic, 80 tricuspid) disease were selected prospectively, and studies were stored according to video and standardized digital protocols. The same reviewer interpreted video and digital images independently and at different times with the use of a standard report form to evaluate 40 items (eg, severity of stenosis or regurgitation, leaflet thickening, and calcification) as normal or mildly, moderately, or severely abnormal Concordance between modalities was expressed at kappa Major discordance (difference of >1 level of severity) was ascribed to the modality that gave the lesser severity. CD-ROM was used to store digital data (20:1 lossy compression), and super-VHS video-tape was used to store video data The reading time and storage costs for each modality were compared Results. Measured parameters were highly concordant (ejection fraction was 52% +/- 13% by both). Major discordance was rare, and lesser values were reported with digital rather than video interpretation in the categories of aortic and mitral valve thicken ing (1% to 2%) and severity of mitral regurgitation (2%). Digital reading time was 6.8 +/- 2.4 minutes, 38% shorter than with video (11.0 +/- 3.0, range 8 to 22 minutes, P < .001). Compressed digital studies had an average size of 60 <plus/minus> 14 megabytes (range 26 to 96 megabytes). Storage cost for video was A$0.62 per patient (18 studies per tape, total cost A$11.20), compared with A$0.31 per patient for digital storage (8 studies per CD-ROM, total cost A$2.50). Conclusion. Digital and video interpretation were highly concordant; in the few cases of major discordance, the digital scores were lower, perhaps reflecting undersampling. Use of additional views and longer clips may be indicated to minimize discordance with video in patients with complex problems. Digital interpretation offers a significant reduction in reading times and the cost of archiving.

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.

CAT (Curator Archiving Tool): improving access to web archives

PADICAT is the web archive created in 2005 in Catalonia (Spain ) by the Library of Catalonia (BC ) , the National Library of Catalonia , with the aim of collecting , processing and providing permanent access to the digital heritage of Catalonia . Its harvesting strategy is based on the hybrid model ( of massive harvesting . SPA top level domain ; selective compilation of the web site output of Catalan organizations; focused harvesting of public events) . The system provides open access to the whole collection , on the Internet . We consider necessary to complement the current search for new and visualization software with open source software tool, CAT ( Curator Archiving Tool) , composed by three modules aimed to effectively managing the processes of human cataloguing ; to publish directories where the digital resources and special collections ; and to offer statistical information of added value to end users. Within the framework of the International Internet Preservation Consortium meeting ( Vienna 2010) , the progress in the development of this new tool, and the philosophy that has motivated his design, are presented to the international community.

El web archiving i l’arxivística

L’arxivament del web és una disciplina que te el seu origen en el camp de la biblioteconomia i les ciències de la informació i és aliena al món arxivístic del nostre país. La primera part del present treball ofereix un breu estat de la qüestió sobre l’arxivament de les pàgines web i, des d’una perspectiva arxivística, intentarà donar resposta a qüestions com en què consisteix l’arxivament de les pàgines web? Per a què serveix? Des de quan es practica? Quines organitzacions el practiquen? Com es captura i emmagatzema el web? En la segona part es proposa una reflexió sobre l’aplicació de l’arxivament web des de la disciplina arxivística. Paraules clau: Preservació digital, arxivament web, arxivística, Internet, Biblioteques Nacionals, documents electrònics, tecnologies de la informació i la comunicació
