Digitisation / Cataloguing of non-textual objects: Description and Digitization of Precious Book Covers as Independent Works of Art

图书封面作为实物，在以文字为中心的图书馆馆藏和以实物为主的博物馆馆藏之间占有特殊的地位。本项目以巴伐利亚国立图书馆保存的约60本中世纪和早期现代金属书皮和约100本藏文木皮为基础，旨在为这些独立的艺术作品开发典型的模块化描述标准，并测试和定义它们与现有互联网数据库中描述和文档的标准化背景的整合。艺术技术和科学分析的结果将与可用的（艺术）历史描述和物品本身的数字化图像一起在线发布。包括在这个项目中的书籍封面和装订的数字化将在一个基于相机的工作流程中进行，并借鉴学术分析的结果。根据所采用的数字化技术，将开发用于展示这些人工制品的模型，并为此制定建议。

Book covers as material objects occupy a special position between the text-centred collections held by libraries and those of museums, which are mainly oriented towards material objects. Based on a corpus of around 60 medieval and early modern metal book bindings and a collection of about one hundred Tibetan wooden book covers preserved in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, this project aims at the development of exemplary modular standards of description for these independent works of art, and of testing and defining their integration into the standardized context of description and documentation in existing internet databases. The results of art-technological and scientific analysis will be published online together with available (art) historical descriptions and the digitized images of the objects themselves. The digitization of the book covers and bindings included in this project will be carried out in a camera-based workflow, drawing on the results of scholarly analysis. Depending on the digitization techniques employed, models for the presentation of these artefacts will be developed, for which recommendations will be formulated.
