Questionnaire pour les Bibliothèques de France
Bonjour,
Je suis en charge du programme de numérisation à la Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève à Paris et j'anime un petit groupe de bibliothèques françaises désirant développer des projets de numérisation et mutualiser le déploiement d'une solution logicielle. Nous nous intéressons principalement à Greenstone, SDX, Persée et DigiTool. Au cours de notre étude, nous avons adressé, via des listes de diffusion, à nos collègues de France, un questionnaire relatif aux solutions logicielles pour la numérisation. Nous pensons en publier prochainement la synthèse.
Serait-il possible d'obtenir des informations par rapport au Générateur de Collections Numériques et à son éventuel déploiement en France ?
1- Permet-elle l'importation des métadonnées en UNIMARC (depuis un SIGB par exemple) ?
2- GCN gère-t-il aussi bien des images que du texte (natif ou OCRisé), et est-il possible d'encoder ce texte en TEI afin de générer des index par exemple? Le texte et les métadonnées peuvent-ils être indexés par les moteurs de recherche du web (Google...) ?
3- Quelle est la visionneuse utilisée ?
4- Est-il possible de décharger le document complet ou une partie du document sous forme de PDF ou dans d'autres formats (compatibilité avec des lecteurs ebooks) ?
5- Est-elle adaptée à plusieurs types de documents : livres, thèses, périodiques, articles, manuscrits, livres anciens, incunables, iconographies, estampes, enluminures, objets... ?
6- Y-a-il possibilité pour les usagers de soumettre des corrections d'OCR, d'encoder en TEI, d'insérer des tags ? Des services sont-ils proposés avec la recherche : panier, export vers des logiciels de gestion bibliographique, RSS sur les nouveautés, DSI sur des équations de recherche, rebonds dynamiques vers d'autres ressources ?
7- Offre-t-elle les possibilités suivantes : gestion de thésaurus, statistiques de consultation, personnalisation satisfaisante de la présentation, paramétrage de durées d'embargos pour pour des documents qui ne sont pas encore libres de droits ?
Avec mes sincères remerciements,
Mathieu Andro

Hello, I am in charge of the program scan of the Sainte Geneviève Library in Paris. I also work with a small group of French libraries wishing to develop digital projects and share the deployment of a software solution. We are interested mainly in Greenstone, SDX, Persée and DigiTool. In our study, we have sent through mailing lists, to our colleagues in France, a questionnaire on software solutions for digital libraries. We will publish a synthesis soon. Would it be possible to obtain informations about your software and its possible deployment in France? 1 - Does it import metadata UNIMARC (from SGBD for example)? 2 - Your software operates there as well as images of text and is it possible to encode this text in TEI to generate indexes for example? The text and metadata can be indexed by search engines on the web (Google. ..)? 3 - What is the viewer used? 4 - Is it possible to download the complete document or a part of the document as a PDF or other formats (for compatibility with readers books)? 5 - Is it suitable for several types of documents: books, theses, periodicals, articles, manuscripts, old books, old prints, illustrations, prints, illuminated manuscripts, objects ... ? 6 - Is it possible for users to submit corrections, TEI encoder in, insert tags? Services are offered with the search: basket, export to bibliographic management software, RSS news, SDI equations on research, dynamic rebounds to other resources? 7 - Offer Does the following possibilities: thesaurus management, statistical consulting, customization satisfactory presentation, setting times for embargoes for documents that are not yet free of rights?

Thank you for your reply
I published these informations on http://fr.dokupedia.org/index.php/Solutions_logicielles_pour_biblioth%C3%A8ques_virtuelles
Thank you,

Thank you for your questions
Hello Mathieu,
I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Also, thank you for being the first to post to our forum.
> 1 - Does it import metadata UNIMARC (from SGBD for example)?
Yes, but currently only if that meatadata is in EAD format. By the fall we will be adding the ability to import METS files containing unqualified DC descriptive metadata.
> 2 - Your software operates there as well as images of text and is it possible to encode this text in TEI to generate indexes for example? The text and metadata can be indexed by search engines on the web (Google. ..)?
We didn't build in any support for importing or exporting TEI, although it would be possible to extend the current ability to support EAD XML to support TEI. We have no immediate plans to do so however.
> 3 - What is the viewer used?
The multipage viewer was developer specifically for Qubit (http://qubit-toolkit.org), the software that the DCB-GCN is based on.
> 4 - Is it possible to download the complete document or a part of the document as a PDF or other formats (for compatibility with readers books)?
Currently, it is only possible to download the entire PDF.
> 5 - Is it suitable for several types of documents: books, theses, periodicals, articles, manuscripts, old books, old prints, illustrations, prints, illuminated manuscripts, objects ... ?
There are no built-in limits on the type of document, other than current functionality only supports still images, video/audio, and paged text. EAD XML documents are also supported.
> 6 - Is it possible for users to submit corrections, TEI encoder in, insert tags? Services are offered with the search: basket, export to bibliographic management software, RSS news, SDI equations on research, dynamic rebounds to other resources?
No, not currently, although user submission/contribution is planned for future versions.
> 7 - Offer Does the following possibilities: thesaurus management, statistical consulting, customization satisfactory presentation, setting times for embargoes for documents that are not yet free of rights?
Current functionality does include thesarus management (i.e., taxonomy management), and a theming subsystem (you can create your own themes as in Wordpress and Drupal). Usage statistics and embargo are not currently supported.
