OFFICIAL RELEASE OF A DIGICULT SPECIAL PUBLICATION

DIGITAL COLLECTIONS AND THE MANAGEMENT OF
KNOWLEDGE
RENAISSANCE EMBLEM LITERATURE AS A CASE STUDY FOR
THE DIGITIZATION OF
RARE TEXT AND IMAGES

DigiCULT Forum published alongside the series of DigiCULT
Publications
a special edition on the digitization of emblem books.

The twelve articles which stem from the working conference on
emblem
digitization held in September 2003 at the Herzog August
Bibliothek,
Wolfenbüttel, Germany, allow to exemplify how scholars in a highly
specialised area of research together with digital librarians have
taken advantage of information technologies, standards, and
emerging
best practices for the digitization of emblems and emblem books,
and
the scholarly work related to them.

The complexity of practises is illustrated by the key issues and
methods covered in this DigiCULT Special Publication: establishing
metadata, using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard, indexing
emblems (e.g. with Iconclass), collection-level descriptions, metadata
exchange procedures, using the Open Archives Initiative Metadata
Harvesting Protocol (OAI-MHP) for emblem data, federated searching
based on ontologies, and establishment of an emblems portal.
