Action Line

Action Line A: Network-oriented internal library systems.

Call Topic(s)

  • Call topic 2: Tools and methods for the creation and use of library material in electronic form
  • Call Topic 6 bis: Services for the acquisition and supply of materials to libraries

Project description

NEDLIB aims to find ways to ensure that electronic publications and documents of the present can be used now and in the future. It will model and demonstrate a basic infrastructure upon which a networked European deposit library could be built.

Technical approach

There are three main phases in the project:

Model development - NEDLIB will develop a model for a generic architecture capable of processing electronic publications regardless of origin or medium, for access either by end-users or by archiving organisations.

Implementation and testing - The model will be implemented and tested in three component systems, integrated into the local infrastructures of the participating national libraries and archives. The components are: installation system, access system and long-term archival.

Prototype demonstrator - The integration of the three components listed above will be tested in a prototype demonstrator.

Key issues

The main issues to be investigated are:

  • Standards and interfaces for the generic architecture;
  • Electronic document technical data;
  • Authentication and verification of the document;
  • Access controls;
  • Archival maintenance - including emulators, conversions etc.

Impact

For national libraries and archives, NEDLIB will deliver a toolbox for operational management of electronic deposit systems, capable of being embedded in existing infrastructures.
Participating publishers will get feed-back on operational control of electronic publications and on tests of new models for delivery and access.
Results will be tools and test-beds of different facets of the deposit process; agreed standards and guidelines of good practice; an integrated demonstrator.

Deliverables

The main deliverables, not all of which are public, include:

  • Functional specifications for deposit systems for electronic publications
  • Technical standards and conventions report
  • High-level design report
  • Consortium Inventory Rights report
  • General architecture
  • Deposit guidelines
  • Prototype system
  • Annual and Final project reports.
