Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
The purpose of COVAX is to analyse and draw up the technical solutions required to provide access through the Internet to homogeneously-encoded document descriptions of archive, library and museum collections based in the application of SGML/XML. The project will demonstrate its feasibility through a prototype containing a meaningful sample of all the different types of documents to build a global system for search and retrieval. It is based on the assumption that in libraries, archives and museums an enormous number of descriptions could be made available over the Internet by converting existing records or by creating new ones to specific SGML/XML DTD's. COVAX intends to combine document descriptions from libraries, museums and archives, with digitized surrogates of their materials, in order to build a global system for search and retrieval. It will allow the widely distributed primary documents from these cultural institutions to be accessed regardless of their location. The basic operational core is the application of SGML and the various DTDs currently being defined in libraries (MARC DTD), archives (EAD) and museums (MUS-EAD), as well as the DTD defined by the Text Encoding Initiative for the mark-up of electronic versions of cultural texts. The use of SGML/XML will enable standardization, interoperability and interconectivity between libraries, archives and museum in the processes of handling, browsing, searching and retrieval of all kinds of descriptions and documents. The application of XML will allow a standard distribution of primary sources through Internet and will provide more widespread access to all citizens Worldwide.
