Digitisation, indexing and presentation of the archive of the Regensburgische Botanische Gesellschaft (Botanical Society of Regensburg)

拟议项目的主要目标是将雷根斯堡植物学会的无版权文件完全数字化，编制数据索引，并开放获取数字化文件。它使世界上最古老、仍然活跃的植物学协会(涵盖1790年至1900年)的独特文献资料永久可供地球植物学家和科学史学家以及文化和文学研究使用，从而为发展中的数字人文领域做出贡献。由此产生的高质量数字文件将被存档，并通过巴伐利亚多媒体服务器提供，使雷根斯堡大学图书馆能够加强对实物财产的保护；同时，数字化文件构成数据转录过程和进一步分析的基础。将个人、机构和地点与中央机关档案联系起来，将为将数据整合到其他信息资源中进行搜索和数据分析提供丰富的机会。基于该项目的开放标准和接口，我们的目标是使数据的使用和再利用尽可能容易。这些数据可以很容易地集成到虚拟研究环境和其他信息资源中，为更广泛的跨学科学术界带来附加值。

The main goals of the proposed project are the full digitization of the copyright-free documents of the Botanical Society of Regensburg, the indexing of the data and the open access presentation of the digitized documents. It makes the unique document holdings of the world’s oldest still active botanical association (covering the period from 1790 to 1900) permanently available for geobotanists and historians of science as well as for cultural and literary studies, thus contributing to the developing field of digital humanities. The resulting high-quality digital documents will be archived and presented via the Bavarian Multimedia Server, allowing Regensburg University Library to intensify the conservation of the physical holdings; at the same time, the digitized documents form the basis of a data transcription process and further analysis. The linking of persons, institutions and places to central authority files will open up rich opportunities for searching, data analysis for the integration of the data into other information resources. Basing the project on open standards and interfaces, we aim to make the use and re-use of the data as easy as possible. The data can easily be integrated into virtual research environments and other information resources, resulting in added value for the wider interdisciplinary scholarly community.
