Digitizing of Map collection of Faculty of Science in Charles University, Prague

Original language description

The post introduces the procedures and methods on digitization, the access and archiving of the Map Collection at the Charles University in Prague. The methodologies for the description in MARC 21 were created the first. Through the cataloguing itself 58,000 bibliographical records were created and 90,000 units were attached. Additional metadata were generated from MARC xml. Technical metadata according to the MIX norm and the descriptive ones as a metadata package METS. An external firm carried out the digitization, which accompanied a number of problems that had to be addressed. The control of the image and also of the metadata and their linking and copyright monitoring took place in the Map Collection. Metadata were exported to other systems as a union Catalogue of the Czech Republic (52,000), GEOBIBLINE database (214,000). Metadata with attached images were then exported to the Digital University Repository (58,000) and to the Digital Map Collection portal (65,000). The aggregation to the National Digitization Registry, to the Old Maps portal (30,000), to the Oldmapsonline portal and to the eCollections and then to the Europeana were important. Georeferences are linked with the Central Catalogue of the Charles University. The globes and models are also made accessible. Separate portals of the important Czech cartographers with full texts were created after the conclusion of license agreements. E-learning courses to old maps also arose.
