RDA and archives: the search for a bridge between different domains
Full text linkSince its inception in 2012, the MAB Toscana has operated through multi professional working groups with membership drawn from libraries, archives and museums, having in common a concern on interoperability and shared services. For this reason, the Italian translation of the RDA guidelines, which are proposed as a potentially usable tool for archival fonds and museum collections, has been welcomed with great interest. A working group has tested the application of RDA to the fonds of the Ligue européenne de coopération économique, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in relation to archival standards (ISAD-G and ISAAR-CPF). In the meanwhile, the Records in Contexts model (RIC-CM) established by the International Council on Archives was presented in Italy and attracted interest for its provision of relation techniques between entities for archival description, while defining for each of them individual properties.Nowadays, the focus on quality of data produced by archives, libraries and museums in the context of the semantic web makes it possible to launch a debate between professional communities that have been pursuing parallel avenues for too long. The MAB Toscana wanted to conduct the test which has been illustrated here with the aim of contributing to the harmonization of tools and methods for effectively accessing cultural heritage information resources.Fin dalla sua istituzione nel 2012, il MAB Toscana ha operato attraverso gruppi di lavoro multi professionali con soci provenienti da biblioteche, archivi e musei, accomunati dall’interesse verso l’interoperabilità e i servizi condivisi. Per questo motivo, la traduzione italiana delle linee guida RDA, che vengono proposte come uno strumento potenzialmente utilizzabile per i fondi archivistici e le collezioni museali, è stata accolta con grande interesse. Un gruppo di lavoro ha testato l’applicazione di RDA per i fondi della Ligue européenne de coopération économique, evidenziandone i punti di forza e le debolezze in relazione agli standard archivistici (ISAD-G e ISAAR-CPF). Nel frattempo, è stato presentato in Italia il Records in Contexts model (RIC-CM) stabilito dal Consiglio Internazionale degli archivi, che ha suscitato interesse per il suo provvedere alle relazioni tecniche tra le entità della descrizione archivistica, definendo nel mentre per ciascuna di esse proprietà peculiari.Attualmente, l’attenzione alla qualità dei dati prodotti da archivi, biblioteche e musei nel contesto del Web semantico permette di avviare un dibattito tra comunità professionali che hanno seguito strade parallele per troppo tempo. Il MAB Toscana ha voluto condurre il test che è stato qui illustrato con l’obiettivo di contribuire all’armonizzazione degli strumenti e dei metodi per accedere in modo efficace alle risorse informative del patrimonio culturale
No full textThe Segretariato regionale dell’Emilia Romagna, a peripheral institute of Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, has developed for a few years the WebGIS Geodatabase, which allows a detailed knowledge of own area of responsibility. The database was born after the earthquake of 2012 as an instrument for technicians engaged in damage recognition, and it has increased own functions over time. Especially, after Franceschini’s ministry reform (DPCM 171/2014) which has conferred authority for tourism on Segretariati regionali, it has developed aspects and services (Tourer platform) for territory promotion and its cultural identity in term of widespread sustainability and access. For this purpose, the Segretariato began some partnerships and alliances with other actors at the regional and national level, actives on the local promotion and development (Club Alpino Italiano, Touring Club Italiano, Azienda Promozione Turistica della Regione Emilia Romagna), and started productive cooperation with Wiki world. This paper describes these activity results. In this specific context, it is necessary also to highlight the synergy with the Bologna and Parma centers of National Library Service through it cultural goods recorded in WebGIS are enriched with bibliographic data qualitatively relevant and architectural items present in the OPAC of two centers have a link to the WebGIS record relating to the good.The Segretariato regionale dell’Emilia Romagna, a peripheral institute of Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, has developed for a few years the WebGIS Geodatabase, which allows a detailed knowledge of own area of responsibility.

No full textPrinted advertisements and lists of books for sales were used by publishers and booksellers in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries respectively to promote and increase the sale of books in distant markets. This article proposes an overall interpretation of the uses of these catalogues in the trade in books, the purposes they were designed to fulfil, and the reading public(s) they aimed to reach. Specific attention is paid to the book prices which are found in about 30% of the surviving printed catalogues. These represent a reliable testimony to the pricing policies some of the most important publishing firms, and the segments of the market they intended to serve. The catalogues are therefore among the main sources for our understanding of the mechanisms of the early modern book trade and its economic structure.Printed advertisements and lists of books for sales were used by publishers and booksellers in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries respectively to promote and increase the sale of books in distant markets.

No full textThis paper offers an insight into the work in progress — development of the Linked Data collection RunA http://runa.lnb.lv/ on two Latvian poets and opinion leaders (Rainis — Jānis Pliekšāns, 1865-1929 and Aspazija, Johanna Emīlija Lizete Rozenberga, 1865-1943) at the National Library of Latvia (NLL). Authors report findings from the theoretical study on identification of RunA collection entities and reality. As collection’s textual materials comprise things and objects of real life, drawbacks in comprehension of NLL authority data are evaluated and perspective with URI identification is emphasised. The authors also address the need to deal with persistent identification for abstract entities. Considering that RunA collection comprises a lot of textual materials (unstructured data) which are to be mutually linked by annotating and identifying key entities (works, persons, institutions, concepts, places, events, etc.), the RDA rules from RunA collection point of view are examined. The main challenges which the creators of RunA faced during pilot project are presented along with corresponding solutions. Conclusions on possible RDA development influence on named entity identification in RunA are reported.This paper offers an insight into the work in progress — development of the Linked Data collection RunA http://runa.lnb.lv/ on two Latvian poets and opinion leaders (Rainis — Jānis Pliekšāns, 1865-1929 and Aspazija, Johanna Emīlija Lizete Rozenberga, 1865-1943) at the National Library of Latvia (NLL).

Remarks about IFLA Library Reference Model
Full text linkIl saggio presenta il modello concettuale IFLA LRM (Library Reference Model) nelle sue caratteristiche principali e mettendone in evidenza gli aspetti di novità. In particolare, viene analizzato quali sono i principali cambiamenti nella definizione delle entità, degli attributi e delle relazioni definiti nei precedenti modelli della famiglia FRBR. Viene sottolineata l'importanza dell'introduzione inedita di una gerarchia tra le entità definite nel modello per la costruzione di dati più adatti al web semantico, la novità teorica espressa dall'attributo "asserzione di manifestazione" e il potenziale impatto sui dati prodotti dalle biblioteche e sul loro riuso nel web semantico.The essay introduces the conceptual model IFLA LRM (Library Reference Model) in its fundamental features and highlights the innovative changes. In detail, it studies the main changes in the definition of entities, attributes and relationships described in the previous model of FRBR family. The paper underlines the original introduction of a hierarchy of the entities specified in the model to create data more appropriate for the semantic web, the theoretical new expressed by the attribute “manifestation statement” and the potential effect on library data and their re-use in a semantic web
Online Archives for Users: premises for a Quality Reference Model
Full text linkThe traditional paradigm of archival mediation had to come to grips with the web environment. If guides, inventories and indexes act as mediation tools between what is inside archives and whoever needs to access them, traditional archival finding aids are not ready to be published on the web, where users are basically free from any mediation. The starting point for rethinking the archival mediation paradigm could be the principle that “output is not input” (Sheir 2005), and the compliance to current archival standards is a necessary condition, but not sufficient to guarantee the usability of archives online. Rarely archival projects organize specific user studies to finalize language, interfaces and architectures of the new environments. The paper, based also on a huge research with user studies on an archives online prototype, aims to propose some first elements to guide the drawing of a new model, built to ensure quality to archives online in terms of user needs, experience and satisfaction, and presents the case study of evaluation of a huge archival portal based on an user-centred approach, during the formative phase.Il paradigma tradizionale della mediazione archivistica è venuto in attrito con l’ambiente di interazione web. Se le guide, gli inventari e gli indici agiscono come strumenti di mediazione tra gli archivi e chiunque intenda accedervi, a qualunque scopo, gli strumenti tradizionali hanno dimostrato di non essere efficaci per essere pubblicati in rete, dove gli utenti non sono normalmente supportati da una mediazione esperta. Il punto di partenza per ripensare il paradigma della mediazione archivistica può essere una riflessione sul principio che “l’output non è l’input” (Sheir 2005), ovvero che la corretta adozione degli standard descrittivi archivistici è una condizione necessaria, ma non sufficiente a garantire la facilità d’uso degli archivi online. Raramente i progetti di ambienti di pubblicazione di dati archivistici organizzano studi che coinvolgano campioni di utenti per migliorare il linguaggio, le interfacce e le architetture degli ambienti di mediazione. Questo contributo propone alcuni primi elementi che potrebbero orientare la redazione di un modello teorico di riferimento che assicuri qualità agli archivi online in termini di soddisfazione dei bisogni e di analisi dei comportamenti degli utenti finali. Inoltre, presenta sinteticamente un caso di studio di valutazione basata sul coinvolgimento degli utenti di un portale archivistico italiano, organizzata durante la sua fase prototipale

Il trattamento delle relazioni nella classificazione Colon
Full text linkThe objective of this paper is to detect if, how and what relations among concepts and bibliographic entities have been examined in the knowledge organisation system based on Colon Classification, and how these are represented within notations produced during the classification process. The aim is pursued through the review of tools to locate and represent concepts and their relations presented in the first part of the Colon Classification manual, and through the analysis of the meaning of the symbols used to this purpose.L’obiettivo di questo contributo è individuare se, come e quali relazioni tra i concetti e tra le entità bibliografiche sono state trattate all’interno del sistema di organizzazione della conoscenza che si basa sulla classificazione Colon e come esse vengono eventualmente rappresentate all’interno delle notazioni che si producono durante il processo di classificazione.L’obiettivo proposto viene perseguito attraverso una rassegna degli strumenti di individuazione e rappresentazione dei concetti e delle loro relazioni presentati nella prima parte del manuale della classificazione Colon e attraverso un’analisi dei significati dei simboli di volta in volta utilizzati per l’individuazione e la rappresentazione delle relazioni
