- Campaign
for the collection of good practices in digitisation and information
on competence centres
Minerva
is starting a new campaign for the collection of good practices
in digitisation and information on competence centres in order
to update the Minerva Knowledge base.
As you know, Minerva has just published the Good Practice Handbook
http://www.minervaeurope.org/structure/workinggroups/goodpract/document/bestpracticehandbook1_2.pdf
edited by WP6, where good practices are selected according to
ten different categories:
- Digitisation
Project Planning (The Reasons for the project, Human Resources,
Research, Risks)
- Selecting
Source Material for Digitisation (Establish Selection Criteria,
Selection Against the criteria)
- Preparation
for Digitisation (Hardware; Software; Environment)
- Handling
of Originals (Moving and Manipulating Original Material)
- The
Digitisation Process (Using Scanners; Using Digital Cameras;
Software Applications for Optical Character Recognition
(OCR)
- Preservation
of Digital Master Material (File Formats; Media Choices;
Migration Strategies)
- Meta-Data
(The Scope of Meta-Data Used for Object Description; Appropriate
Meta-Data Standards)
- Publication
(Image Processing; 3D and Virtual Reality Issues; Online
Publication)
- IPR
and Copyright (Establing Copyright; Safeguarding Copyright)
- Managing
Digitisation projects (Digitisation Process management;
Team Development; Staff Training; Working with Third Parties
for Technical Assistance; Working with Third Parties in
Cooperative projects and Content Sharing; Costs)
We have also
updated both nomination forms which are available on line:
- http://www.minervaeurope.org/structure/workinggroups/goodpract/document/goodpractform040109.rtf
- http://www.minervaeurope.org/structure/workinggroups/goodpract/document/compecenterform040115.rtf
By means
of the NRG, we have asked each country to promote this campaign.
Interested institutions can send the forms directly to Minerva
web site (minerva2@beniculturali.it). Before publication in
the Minerva knowledge base, the forms will be submitted to the
competent NRG for approval.
