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

合作项目“18世纪德语地区出版的印刷材料的数字化和索引(VD18)”旨在创建一本追溯18世纪的德国国家书目。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世纪的国家书目。VD18的总持有量约为565.000份印刷品，其中110.000多份已经在2009年至2012年的VD18试点项目中编目和数字化。在VD18项目主要阶段目前的第一部分，将对另外40.000份印刷品进行编目和数字化。这些数字产品可通过联盟目录获取，OCLC的WorldCat(http://worldcat.org)，The Zentales Verzeichnis Digitalisierter Drucke)(中央数字化印刷品储存库，www.zvdd.de)和德国数字图书馆(德国数字图书馆，柏林洪堡大学http://ddb.de).The图书馆计划作为新的合作伙伴，在VD18年的第二个主要阶段为该项目贡献800份印刷品。

The cooperative project "Digitisation and lndexing 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 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. ln 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 lnventory of Digitised Prints, www.zvdd.de), and the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library, http://ddb.de).The Library of the Humboldt-University in Berlin plans to contribute 800 prints to the project during the 2 main phase of VD18 as a new co-operation partner.
