Study Notes
- Digital objects are digital files or resources; can be identified, stored, and electronically retrieved.
- Digital objects can be accessed, shared, and used in various ways, hinging on their purpose and the tools used to manage them.
- Digital objects include textual documents, images, audio files, video files, datasets, software applications, websites, and virtual reality experiences.
- Software tools and platforms used for creating and managing digital objects include content management and digital asset management systems.
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
- Digital Object Identifier (DOI) acts as a unique identifier assigned to a digital object.
- DOIs facilitate persistent linking, discovery, and widespread use, particularly in academic and research circles.
- DOI is a permanent ID that will lead to the source when appended to "http://dx.doi.org/" in an Internet browser.
- DOI for Content: DOI that identifies a specific content object.
- DOI for Metadata: DOI that identifies a metadata record.
- DOIs provide a reliable method for linking to digital objects, without guaranteeing the object is accessible forever.
- The International DOI Foundation (IDF), a non-profit, manages DOIs and supports their use.
- Apart from DOIs, handles and ARKs are other types of persistent identifiers for linking and identifying digital objects.
Digital Library Architecture
- Items are called "digital objects", are stored in repositories, and get identified by "handles".
- Information stored is labeled "content", divided into "data" and information about the data, "properties," or "Metadata" in the Kahn/ Wilensky architecture.
- "Digital object store," "metadata store," and "suite of services" are 3 main components found in digital library systems.
- Digital library architecture is an integrated set of services designed for capturing, cataloging, storing, searching, protecting, and retrieving information.
- Architecture must be open, extensible, and promote interoperability within distributed systems. It addresses naming, digital archiving, and digital preservation for persistent access.
Principles For Digital Library Design
- Architecture for digital libraries needs to be driven by its services and tools for delivering service.
- Architecture must be open, extensible, and promote interoperability within distributed systems.
- Architecture must be robust, scalable, and reliable to serve thousands of patrons with different backgrounds facing a wide range of information needs.
- Architecture must ensure sustained access, addressing naming, digital archiving, and preservation.
- Architecture must be sensitive to privacy issues, supporting both anonymous and customized access to resources.
- Architecture needs to be flexible, balancing information gathering with financial constraints.
- Long-term technology planning for migrations needs a three-to-five-year scope.
