VD 18: Digitisation and Indexing of Printed Material Published in the 18th Century in the German-Speaking Areas (VD 18)

合作项目“德语地区18世纪出版的印刷材料的数字化和索引(VD18)”旨在创建18世纪德国国家书目的追溯性。该项目为1701至1800年间印刷的德国材料编制了索引，并为每个项目添加了唯一的VD18标识符。此外，印刷材料将在该项目中数字化，并将在互联网上免费提供。增加文件结构的详细元数据将有助于在数字文件中导航(例如，通过DFG查看器、http://dfg-viewer.de/en/regarding-the-project/)以及在章节标题和图形标题中进行搜索)。因此，VD18项目与按时间顺序排列的前两个项目VD16和VD17相关联，这两个项目建立了16世纪和17世纪的国家书目。VD18的总持有量约为585,000张。这些数字物品可以通过联合目录、OCLC的WorldCat(http://worldcat.org)，The Zentales Verzeichnis Digitalisierter Drucke)(数字印刷品中央库存，www.zvdd.de)和德国数字图书馆(德国数字图书馆、http://ddb.de).Göttingen州立大学图书馆)获取，该项目计划再贡献1,200份印刷品和近600卷期刊。此外，图书馆还接管了该项目的管理工作，从而与其他四个试点机构--图书馆、联合目录总公司、国家期刊数据库(ZDB)和德国期刊总公司--共同承担协调责任。

The cooperative project “Digitisation and Indexing of Printed Material Published in the 18th Century in the German-Speaking Areas (VD 18)” aims at creating a retrospective German national bibliography of the 18th century. The project indexes German material printed between 1701 and 1800 and adds a unique VD18-identifier to each item. Furthermore, the printed material is going to be digitised within the project and will be made freely available on the internet. Adding detailed metadata of the document structure will facilitate navigating within the digital document (e.g. via the DFG-Viewer, http://dfg-viewer.de/en/regarding-the-project/) as well as searching within chapter headings and figure captions.Thus, the VD 18 project ties in with the two chronologically preceding projects VD 16 and VD 17, which set up national bibliographies for the 16th and 17th century. The total holdings of the VD 18 amounts to approximately 585,000 prints. The digital items can be accessed via the union catalogues, OCLC’s WorldCat (http://worldcat.org), the Zentrales Verzeichnis Digitalisierter Drucke (Central Inventory of Digitised Prints, www.zvdd.de), and the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library, http://ddb.de).Göttingen State and University Library plans to contribute a further 1,200 prints and nearly 600 volumes of journals to the project. In addition to this, the library has taken over the management of the project, thus sharing the responsibility for the coordination with the four other pilot-libraries, the head offices of the union catalogues, the National Periodicals Database (ZDB) and the DFG Head Office.
