Until now Librarian services are limited more or
less to stocks of information, which are represented by textual
documents. Key focus of the service centre is the establishment and
prototypical realization of library services for "general" document
types. Thus the question, how different document types can be indexed
semi-automatically, i.e. be enriched with semantics (e.g. meta data),
be stored, searched and retrieved.
Focus
within the first stage of PROBADO are two areas of application, which
are to be worked on already intensively by the project partners from
their respective research activities in the context of innovative
library services for many years: - 3D-computer graphics (Prof. Fellner, TU Darmstadt/FhG IGD; Prof. Klein, Uni Bonn)
- music (Prof. Clausen, Uni Bonn)
Goal of the service centre is to develop, construct, and operate
services for the two areas of application mentioned above which is
able to fully or partially open automatically, store, investigate,
retrieve, link and utilize among each other - also across multiple
sectors different non-textual documents.
Responsible for introducing the competence of libraries into the service and for operating the service itself will be: - TIB Hannover, Direktor Uwe Rosemann: 3D-computer graphics
- BSB München, Generaldirektor Dr. Rolf Griebel: music
Since beside these two still a lot of further application domains
exist, where likewise complex documents are to be handled, a second
substantial goal of the centre is the development of tools, with which
further application domains and document types can be tied up
efficiently.
The establishment of the service for 3D-computer graphics and music is thereby not only a
benefit for the respective ranges of science; but will simultaneously
be a prototype for developing further fields of science. |
