Manuscripts Portal. Development of a central online portal for data and images on book manuscripts

自2018年10月以来，新的德国“手抄本门户网站”正在开发中，作为德国文化遗产机构中与手抄本手稿相关的文本信息和数字图像的最新、面向未来的中央登记处。HSP被设想为一个特定于材料的中心门户，可以追溯到属于“欧洲抄本手稿”对象类型的所有时期。它取代了以前的中央在线目录，手稿Mediaevalia （MM）。标准化格式的权威数据、描述性数据和数字图像的整合将使HSP成为法典手稿数字信息的中心提供者。它的开发将伴随目标社区的持续咨询，并在所有阶段尊重可用性和用户体验（UX）的需求。实现将遵循敏捷软件开发的原则，并基于开源软件和链接开放数据的原则。在第二阶段的开发中，重点将放在权威数据模块和门户网站的后端（包括编目工具和用户管理）、进一步提高数据质量和创建词典、实施个性化和协作工作空间、增加和优化搜索选项、整合外部来源的数据、建立国际论坛的主办和咨询服务，以及修订DFG关于手稿编目的准则。与第一阶段一样，该项目将由柏林国立文化博物馆、Universitätsbibliothek莱比锡、赫尔佐格奥古斯特图书馆和巴伐利亚州国立图书馆合作开展。此外，来自柏林洪堡大学图书馆和信息科学研究所的Elke Greifeneder教授将加入可用性和用户体验咨询的合作伙伴。

Since October 2018, the new German „Handschriftenportal“ is being developed as an up-to-date, future-oriented central registry for textual information and digital images related to codex manuscripts in German cultural heritage institutions. The HSP is conceived as a material-specific central portal for objects dating from all periods belonging to the object type “European codex manuscript”. It supersedes the former central online catalogue, Manuscripta Mediaevalia (MM).The integration of authority data, descriptive data and digital images in standardized formats will make the HSP a central provider of digital information on codex manuscripts. Its development will be accompanied by a continuous consultation of the targeted communities and respect the requirements of usability and user experience (UX) at all stages. The implementation will follow the principles of agile software development, and is based on open source software and the principles of linked open data. In the second phase of development, the focus will be on the authority data module and the backend of the portal, which includes the cataloguing tool and user administration, on the further enhancement of data quality and the creation of thesauri, the implementation of personalized and collaborative workspaces, on augmenting and optimizing search options, the integration of data from external sources, the establishment of IIIF hosting and consulting services and on the revision of the DFG guidelines for the cataloguing of manuscripts. As in the first phase, the project will be carried out collaboratively by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin-Preußischer Kulturbesitz, the Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig, the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. In addition, Prof. Elke Greifeneder from the Institut for library and information science at the Humboldt University, Berlin, will join the partners for usability and UX consulting.
