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

书籍封面作为实物，在图书馆以文本为中心的馆藏和以实物为主的博物馆藏品中占有特殊的地位。基于大约60种中世纪和早期现代金属书籍装订的语料库和保存在Bayerische Staatsbibliothek中的大约100种藏族木质书籍封面，该项目旨在为这些独立的艺术作品制定模式化的描述标准，并测试和定义它们与现有互联网数据库中描述和文献的标准化背景的融合。艺术品-技术和科学分析的结果将与现有的(艺术品)历史描述和物品本身的数字化图像一起在网上公布。本项目所包括的书籍封面和装订的数字化工作将根据学术分析的结果，在基于相机的工作流程中进行。根据所采用的数字化技术，将开发用于展示这些文物的模型，并将为其制定建议。

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.
