Digitization / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Digitized Astronomical Photoplates Archive and their Virtual Observatory Integration

后续项目旨在完成提案中提到的所有机构的额外照相底片的数字化，这些底片在第一个项目中被遗漏。AIP的档案将得到扩展，使所有数字化的摄影底片都可以在线获得，既可以用于虚拟天文台内的现代天文学，也可以通过OAI-PMH接口作为文化遗产进入Europeana。来自爱因斯坦塔太阳观测站的数字化图像将包括在目录中。光谱处理和源分类的新组件将添加到PyPlate软件中，该软件从数字化板中提取现代天文目录。总的来说，数字化档案的可用性将得到提高，特别是在天文学方面。

The follow-up project intends to complete the digitization of the additional photographic plates of all institutes named in the proposal which were left out in the first project. The archive at AIP is to be extended to make all the digitized photographic plates available online, both for modern astronomy within the Virtual Observatory, and as cultural heritage via an OAI-PMH interface to Europeana. Digitized images from the Solar Observatory at the Einsteinturm will be included with catalogs. New components for processing of spectra and classification of sources will be added to the PyPlate Software which extracts modern astronomical catalogs from the digitized plates. All over, the usability of the digitized archive will be enhanced, especially for astronomy.
