Razvojem fotografije i njene izvedenice mikrografije otvaraju se neslucene mogucnosti za izradu preslika izvornih oblika arhivalija. Kvalitetna preslika koju je moguce dati na uporabu korisnicima arhivskog gradiva omogucava zastitu izvornika jer ga cuva od habanja, atmosferalija, otuđenja, elementarnih i drugih nepogoda koje ga mogu zadeseti u ocekivanom beskonacnom vijeku trajanja. Arhivsko gradivo, zbog svojeg specificnog oblika (pretežito dvodimenzionalni oblici u rinfuzi ili uvezu) pogodno je za snimanje koracnim (starije arhivsko gradivo) i protocnim (novije, a osobito suvremeno arhivsko gradivo) analognim, digitalnim i hibridnim kamerama sa simetricnom rasvjetom. U novije vrijeme analogni zapis na razlicitim podlogama (metal, staklo, papir, film) izložen je konkurenciji digitalnog zapisa na, jos uvijek cesto po kapacitetu, velicini i nacinu zapisa, promjenjivim medijima (FLOPPY, MO, CD, DVD ). Prednosti digitalne slike ocituju se najvise u trenutnoj mogucnosti prijenosa na daljinu i strojnoj citljivosti cime ona postaje dostupna najsirem krugu korisnika, potencijalnih ugrozitelja izvornih oblika arhivskog gradiva. Na ovaj nacin digitalna slika pruža najveci stupanj zastite kojeg je tesko nadomjestiti bilo kojim analognim oblikom. Dodajmo tome i prednosti koje se odnose na mogucnosti rekonstrukcije ostecenih slika, bilo da se radi o fizickom ostecenju (lom, deformacija, ogrebotina itd.) ili kemijskim procesima (izblijeđivanje, promjena boja itd.) uzrokovanim uvjetima cuvanja. Također, za arhivsko gradivo, zbog njegove dostupnosti izuzetno važna osobina digitalne slike jest mogucnost pridruživanja slike njezinom opisu. No, arhivska praksa namece i druge kriterije po kojima se ocjenjuje podobnost neke tehnike u zastiti arhivalija. Na danasnjem stupnju razvoja digitalna tehnika nema odgovora po pitanju standarda (ona je jos uvijek izvrgnuta cestim promjenama), a onda ni vjerodostojnosti preslika kao ni trajnosti medija na kojem se informacija pohranjuje. Sigurnost preslike koja ponekad, u slucaju da dođe do unistenja izvornika, postaje važna koliko i sam izvornik, namece potrebu daljnje uporabe analognog zapisa. S druge strane, danasnji uvjeti života kao i razvoj komunikacijskih sredstava iziskuju brz pristup informaciji koji je moguc iskljucivo uz primjenu digitalne tehnike. Pomiriti ovako razlicite potrebe moguce je jedino kompromisom, t.j. hibridnom tehnikom snimanja, bilo da se ona izvodi kamerama s hibridnom glavom ili se postojeci snimci (fotografije, mikrofilmski svitci, mikrofishevi, aperturne kartice itd.) skeniraju u namjenskim skenerima. Najvisi stupanj sigurnosti uz brz pristup informaciji kojeg pruža hibridna tehnika najvise daje, ali i traži, osobito kada su u pitanju materijalna sredstva koja nisu beznacajna u strategiji odlucivanja o nacinu zastite arhivskog gradiva. Na ideju o izradi digitalne zbirke ispitne literature (http://www.ffzg.hr/infoz/biblio/dz) studente je potakla nedostupnost i nedovoljan broj primjeraka ispitne literature. Stavljanjem na Web, svaki bi student mogao doci do tražene građe. Prvi stadij projekta sastojao se od slijedecih faza: prikupljanje relevantnih informacija o slicnim projektima u Hrvatskoj u svijetu, izrada nacrta projekta, prikupljanje i odabir tiskane i elektronicke građe za zbirku, rjesavanje problema autorskog prava, digitalizacija (skeniranje, OCR), pretvaranje obrađene građe u HTML, prebacivanje digitalizirane građe na www server Filozofskog fakultet. Drugi stadij obuhvaca: dobivanje dodatnog prostora na disku servera radi povecavanja zbirke oznacivanje dokumenata kljucnim rijecima i izrada pretraživaca. Koristene su tri metode pretvaranja građe u digitalni oblik: digitalizacija, prepisivanje tiskane građe, prikupljanje građe koja vec postoji u elektronickom obliku. Kao izlazni format koristen je HTML zbog jednostavnog svladavanja i koristenja, velikog broja dostupnih alata za rad s ovim formatom i dostupnosti najpopularnijih pretraživaca (Netscape Communicator, Internet Explorer). Problem autorskog prava rjesavali smo kontaktiranjem autora, koji su uglavnom profesori i knjižnicni strucnjaci u Hrvatskoj. Projekt se ne financira, priprema i digitalizacija građe obavljala se na vlastitoj opremi studenata, a planira se nabaviti barem jedan PC sa skenerom i vezom na Internet. Goran Zlodi (Katedra za muzeologiju, Odsjek za informacijske znanosti, Filozofski fakultet Zagreb) govorit ce o specificnostima digitalizacije muzejske građe i izložiti o radu sa studentima muzeologije na digitalizaciji pri postavljanju virtualne izložbe (http://www.ffzg.hr/infoz/muzej/zg-bastina/)

Carrying semantics in a well-controlled and documented way, Knowledge Organisation Systems serve a variety of important functions: tools for representation and indexing of information and documents, knowledge-based support to information searchers, semantic road maps to domains and disciplines, communication tool by providing conceptual framework, and conceptual basis for knowledge based systems, e.g. automated classification systems. New networked KOS (NKOS) services and applications are emerging, and we have reached a stage where many KOS standards exist and the integration of linked services is no longer just a future scenario. This editorial describes the workshop outline and overview of presented papers at the 15th European Networked Knowledge Organization Systems W...

Research output was measured from publications in the local institutional repository following the guidelines of local research policy as defined in university documentation. The data collection comprised 3,316 metadata records of publications self-registered by authors affiliated with the faculty during the period of 2010–2018. A statistical analysis of research output was conducted, focusing on preferred publication types, disciplinary specificity, level of co-authorship, and the language of the publication as registered in the local repository. The analysis focused on two main research questions: 1) how do the local research practices stand in relation to traditional publication patterns in the humanities? 2) how do the observed publication patterns relate to local university policy on publication and...

Furthermore, investigations of LGBTQI in literary history is hampered by the fact that, to date, there are no broad scholarly inventories of such literature. Due to the absence of exhaustive bibliographies, scholars need to perform time-consuming, human reading of individual works and imprecise searches in order to locate LGBTQI motifs and themes. Research on subject indexing has also revealed that controlled vocabularies in use are too general to describe LGBTQI themes, motifs, and characters in a relevant manner. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how LGBTQI literature can be made more searchable, and more visible through the development of a quality-controlled subject specific database (QUEERLIT database) in which specialized subject indexing is...

Due to a large number of different vocabularies, related services, and a variety of potential applications and contexts, the need has appeared for terminology registries.A terminology registry lists, describes, identifies and points to sets of vocabularies available for use in information systems and services. It can cover free and publicly available, fee-based and restricted, or organisation-internal vocabularies. The registry allows discovery of suitable schemes for information or, potentially, use, by exposing rich metadata about them for navigation and retrieval. Terminology registries can hold vocabulary level information only, or comprise the member terms, concepts and relationships as well, and also list services based on terminology such as automatic classification, term expansion, disambiguation, translati...

We identify two major developments that seem to be taking place within DH, with a specific focus on the infrastructural aspects of the development: (1) a strive to open up and broaden the research output and (2) multi-disciplinary collaboration and its effects. The two major components accentuate the new infrastructural patterns that are developing and the challenges these infer on universities. While current research is at large multi-disciplinary, developing infrastructures also enable the move towards post-disciplinarity, bringing the universities closer to the surrounding society. At five universities in Sweden, individual-sited infrastructures supporting DH research have been built today. They are complemented by national and international infrastructures, thus supporting developments and tackling some of the major challenges. In th...
