The Digital Conversion Process at the GDZ for Primary Resources
Image CaptureMetadataJoint development of a new Document
Management System (DMS), AGORA
11
Image Capture
Technical parameters: 600 dpi resolution, 1 bit b/w (text material), TIFF Vers. 6, ITU G4 compression (grayscale scanning on demand)
Scanning from microfilm (contracting to external service vendors) AND
Scanning from the Original: in-house with book scanners (Zeutschel OS 7000, Minolta PS 7000)
12
Metadata
Metadata during the digital conversion process bibliographic catalog data structural (describing) data selective fulltext of navigational units
(TOC...)

Our way at the GDZ
Resource Description Format / eXtensible Markup Language
= 1 file with all metadata + image references (bibliographic, structural, selective fulltext) in an open standard for electronic documents
