MIC metadata strategies: Thinking beyond asset management
No full textThis paper examines the metadata strategies of Moving Image Collections (MIC), a collaboration of the Library of Congress and the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). MIC offers a union catalog, archive directory and informational resources about moving images and their preservation, through a portal structure delivering customized information to diverse constituencies. The paper discusses three key principles underlying MIC’s strategy and how they have been applied to meet the respective missions of the two co-sponsors. The key principles are promotion of standards, acceptance of diversity in collections and schemas, and the need to extend effective metadata use to all repositories. This visionary metadata strategy takes MIC’s functionalities beyond asset management. MIC creates a framework for collaborative community building and an R&D platform to explore issues of digital rights management, low-level indexing and the intersection of public and private sector goals, in an effort to advance the Library of Congress mission to preserve and educate.Peer reviewe

Otto Mainzer Collection. late 1800s-2003 bulk 1922-1998
No full textThe Otto Mainzer collection documents the life and professional activities of Otto Mainzer, lawyer, writer, and financial consultant; the collection also sheds light on the life of Otto Mainzer’s wife, Ilse Wunsch, a musician and a teacher. The collection includes correspondence, financial, vital, immigration, and legal documents, notes, photographs, printed materials, and writings, by Otto Mainzer and Ilse Wunsch as well as a small number of manuscripts by other authors. The collection is divided into two distinct sections, one pertaining to Otto Mainzer and the other to Ilse Wunsch.Otto Mainzer, lawyer, writer, and a financial consultant was born in 1903 in Frankfurt am Main. He received his basic schooling in Frankfurt am Main and continued his education at Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin universities, studying jurisprudence. After receiving his degree Otto Mainzer worked as a lawyer at the Berlin Court of Appeals. He immigrated to Paris in 1933 where he devoted his time to writing. It was in Paris that he began working on his monumental work of non-fiction, Die sexuelle Zwangswirtschaft: ein erotisches Manifest, which he eventually managed to publish in 1981. In the mid-thirties Otto Mainzer published one volume of poems entitled, Der zaertliche Vorstoss: in sechsundsechzig Gedichten. During the same period he wrote his first novel, Prometheus. He had to wait for forty years before it was published by Stroemfeld/Roter Stern in 1989. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939 Otto Mainzer was interned at a French concentration camp for over a year before being allowed to leave. He arrived in New York in late 1941. Shortly after his arrival, Otto Mainzer moved to Chicago to work as a graphologist for the Spiegel of Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met his future wife, Ilse Wunsch. Soon after Otto Mainzer and Ilse Wunsch moved back to New York. Otto Mainzer devoted the rest of his life to writing and propagating his ideas of human love and sexuality as an underlying stratum for all of the human interactions. The bulk of Otto Mainzer’s written legacy was never published. He died in New York in 1995.Ilse Wunsch was born in 1911 in Berlin, Germany. She started studying piano at a very early age. After graduating from high school, Ilse Wunsch continued her studies at the Teachers Training College. In 1936 she left for Japan, for concertizing and teaching. She eventually moved to Chicago where she continued her studies at the Chicago Musical College, in due course earning a Master of Music degree. After meeting Otto Mainzer, the couple moved to New York, where Ilse resumed her post graduate studies. In New York, Ilse Wunsch was a member of the faculty of the New York College of Music, Stern College for Women, teaching piano and theory. Later she became an Assistant Professor at New York University, School of Education, Music Education Division. Ilse Wunsch was also an author of a number of books on music theory and pedagogy; she also composed a number of music pieces; and finally she wrote autobiographical non-fiction dedicated to her husband, Otto Mainzer.Otto Mainzer's collection of poems "Der zaertliche Vorstoss in sechsundsechzig Gedichten" is available in the LBI library (r PT 2613 R825 Z3).Processeddigitize

Digital Tectonics as a Morphogenetic Process
No full textp. 938-948Tectonics is a seminal concept that defines the nature of the relationship between
architecture and its structural properties. The changing definition of the symbiotic
relationship between structural engineering and architectural design may be considered one of the formative influences on the conceptual evolution of tectonics in different historical periods. Recent developments in the field of morphogenesis, digital media, theories techniques and methods of digital design have contributed a new models of integration between structure, material and form in digital tectonics.
The objective of this paper is to propose and define tectonics as a model of morphogenetic process. The paper identifies and presents the manner in which theory and emerging concepts of morphogenesis as well as digital models of design are contributing to this new model. The paper first analyzes the historical evolution of tectonics as a concept and characterizes the emergence of theoretical framework reflected in concepts and terms related to morphogenesis.Oxman, R.

Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur
