Development and digitization of the GDR design state of the prior art

收集东德时期的设计作品，应该以研究为目的，为感兴趣的公众和有效的设计研究而开发。来自PATON保管处纸质形式股票的数据|位于伊尔梅瑙的图林根专利中心以及位于柏林的德国专利商标局信息和服务中心DPMA-IDZ中相应索引卡的数据将以电子方式提供。只有将PATON的“商标杂志”和后来的“商标和样品表”中的设计出版物与柏林IDZ的索引卡和实物样品结合起来，才能有效地利用这些信息。小册子、索引卡、照片和织物样品通过光学扫描过程进行数字化。使用页面结构和文本分析方法，这些扫描的原始数据被进一步处理。文本数据以及来自各种来源的图像在准备过程之后被合并，并且通过数据结构化（包括分类）被索引。在项目中获得的结果（主扫描、书目数据、单个图像）持续存储在项目的内部数据库中。准备好的、准备发布的信息应通过适当的接口永久地向公众和研究人员提供。通过现有渠道访问这些信息：-通过项目合作伙伴伊尔梅瑙工业大学计算机图形工程（GDV）的接口以机器可读的形式，类似于数字机械和齿轮库DMGLIB。通过项目合作伙伴PATON的PATONline系统以机器可读的形式进行检索，现在可以通过DPMA的DPMA-Register研究系统检索4300万份专利文件。在此，应在项目期间开发适当的接口。由于数据结构必须在该项目期间开发，因此尚未达到DPMA的要求，此外，计划在相关活动中举办讲座，并在参考期刊或会议记录上发表文章。

The collection of designs from the GDR era should be developed for research purposes, for the interested public and for effective design research. The data from the stocks in paper form in the depository of the PATON | Thuringia Patent Center in Ilmenau, together with data from the corresponding index cards in the DPMA-IDZ, the information and service center of the German Patent and Trademark Office in Berlin, are to be made available electronically. Only by bringing together the publications of the designs in the "Trademark Journal" and in the later "Trademark and Sample Sheet" in PATON and the index cards and physical samples in the IDZ Berlin an effective use of this information is possible.The booklets, index cards, photos and fabric samples are digitized via an optical scanning process. Using page structure and text analysis methods, these scanned raw data are processed further. The textual data as well as the images from the various sources are merged after a preparation process and indexed by data structuring, including a classification. The results obtained in the project (master scans, bibliographic data, individual images) are continuously stored in the project's internal database. The prepared, ready-to-publish information should be made available to the public and research via suitable interfaces on a permanent basis.Access to this is granted via existing channels:- in machine-readable form through an interface at the project partner Computer Graphics Engineering (GDV) of the Technische Universität Ilmenau in analogy to the Digital Mechanism and Gear Library DMGLIB.- In machine-readable form through an interface at the project partner PATON via the PATONline system, which can now be used to retrieve 43 million patent documents- via the DPMA-Register research system of the DPMA. Here a suitable interface should be developed during the project period. The requirements of the DPMA are not yet available as the data structure has to be developed during the project.In addition, lectures at relevant events and publications in refereed journals or conference proceedings are planned.
