Digitisation and Indexing of Printed Material Published in the 18th Century in the German-Speaking Areas (VD18)

合作项目“德语地区出版的18世纪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回顾性。该项目索引了1701年至1800年间印刷的德国材料，并为每个项目添加了唯一的vd18标识符。此外，印刷材料将在项目中数字化，并将在互联网上免费提供。添加文档结构的详细元数据将有助于在数字文档中导航（例如通过DFG-Viewer， http://dfg-viewer.de/en/regarding-the-project/），以及在章节标题和图片说明中搜索。因此，vd18项目与之前的两个项目VD16和VD17联系在一起，这两个项目建立了16世纪和17世纪的国家参考书目。VD18的总收藏量约为565,000份，其中超过110,000份已在2009年至2012年的VD18试点项目中进行编目和数字化。在VD18项目主要阶段的当前第1部分，将对另外40,000份印刷品进行编目和数字化。数字项目可以通过联合目录、OCLC的WorldCat （http://worldcat.org）、数字化印刷品中央目录（www.zvdd.de）和德国数字图书馆（http://ddb.de）.The)访问，Humboldt-Universität柏林图书馆计划作为合作伙伴向vd18项目提供450卷。这是它在这个项目中的第二个应用程序。

The cooperative project “Digitisation and Indexing of Printed Material Published in the 18th Century in the German-Speaking Areas (VD18)” 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 VD16 and VD17, which set up national bibliographies for the 16th and 17th century. The total holdings of the VD18 amounts to approximately 565.000 prints, of which more than 110.000 have already been catalogued and digitised in the VD18 pilot project from 2009 to 2012. In the current Section 1 of the main phase of the VD18 project another 40.000 prints will be catalogued and digitised. 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).The Library of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin plans to contribute 450 volumes to the VD18-project as co-operation partner. This is its second application within this project.
