Kramerius – development group and used technology  Open source – development from 2003  Main purpose – accessing/dissemination of digitized documents (monographs and periodicals)  Czech National Library, Academy of Sciences Library, Qbizm technologies, Moravian Library in Brno  Funded mostly from Ministry of Culture and Academy of Sciences Grant Agency  Used technologies: JAVA, Linux, Apache, Tomcat, Postgres SQL, Lucene

Kramerius – current status  version: 3.3.0, build: ,

Kramerius – current status  DTD for periodicals a monographs  Import of XML, TXT and graphic files  Grafický formát DjVu, JPG, PNG, PDF  Fulltext search (Lucene)  Replication of the data between individual instalations  OAI-PMH – for metadata harvesting  METS, PREMIS, MIX – metadata standards

Kramerius – current status  International an national Connections: - The European Library - Uniform Innformation Gateway JIB  Links to libraries OPACs  Persistent URLs enables persistent linking

Kramerius – new plans of development  Fundamental change – use of the FEDORA repository (open source USA)  Reasons – FEDORA is robust engine with support of compound objects and it is also usefull by means of long term preservation  Enhancement of administration – users and access rights  Batch operations with digitized documents  New types of docs (maps, audio, video,…)

Kramerius – institutional users  Czech National Library, Moravian Library in Brno, State Technical Library, Academy of Sciences Library  Regional Scientific Libraries: Havlíčkův Brod, Hradec Králové, Olomouc, Ostrava, Zlín  Muzeum Libraries: UPM Praha, ŽM Praha, DA Praha, MVČ Hradec Králové  In total circa pages (circa 500 periodical titles amd 4500 monographs)

Academy of Sciences Digital Library  Funded by Academy of Sciences ( )  Digitization of historical issues ( ),  Digitized circa pages  Development of Kramerius system  Accesible pages, (no articles separation)  Fulltext search 

Academy of Sciences Digital Library  New issues – different approach  Open source E-prints (Uni of Southampton)  Agreements with the Academy Institutes – conditions of dissemination  Final goal – merge of both digital libraries (solution probably Drupal/FEDORA – Islandora?)

Collaboration with Google  Digitized journals from Kramerius system - indexing of fulltexts, automatic detection of articles, link from Google to article’s first page or abstratct  New articles in E-prints - indexing of fulltexts, link from Google

Academy of Sciences Central Data Repository  Huge amount of data from digitization  Disk array 30 TB with mirror  Tape library up tp 500 tapes  3 different location for long term storage  Long term preservation for R&D outputs of the Czech Academy of Sciences  Institutional Repository

System for journal publishing administration  Proven professional system (Manusript Central, Editorial Manager)  Better price for implementation and every year service fees with purchase as consortium  On-line submission system  Complete evidence of authors, reviewers and articles  Automated administration of peer review  Recently 8 journals

Software for metadata creation  Project by Moravian Library in Brno – funded by Ministry of Culture  Open source which should enable to create metadata in Kramerius format  Metadata – descriptive, technical, administrative  Bibl. record from library inf. system  Outputs also in other formats – Manuscriptorium, Dspace, FEDORA

Project „Digitization Registry CZ“  Project partners: Academy of Sciences Library and National Library  Funded by R&D program of Ministry of Culture  Central registry of digitized documents in CR  Monitoring of digitization workflow  Linking with libraries OPACs  Possible move to international level (EU project)
