Partner fXr EU-Projekt gesucht

[Hans-Peter Thun <thun _at__ dbi-berlin.de>]

Søren C. Hansen, Silkeborg Public Library,hat folgende Anfrage an das
DBI gerichtet. Es ist klar, daß auch das DBI an dieser Thematik
interessiert ist, aber Kollege Hansen wuerde sich sicherlich über
weitere
Hinweise auf potentielle deutsche oder europaeische Partner freuen.
Bitte beachten: Es sind keine Bibliotheken gefragt !


"In cooperation with our library system supplier (Danish Data
Electronics) we are developing a EU-project about Metadata. The other
library partner is Southampton Institute Library Services.

The project deals with the following (pre-screening description):

 * the libraries handling of Metadata, so that it will be possible for
 the intermediators and the end-users to perform simultaneous search in
 both local and global information ressources (agglomerated information
 ressource).
 * the libraries' getting  experience in adding Metadata to documents
 * utilizing the potential in Metadata for advanced methods for
retrieval
 * to investigate the intermediators' and the end-users' estimates and
 views concerning these new and more efficient access to the information
 ressources
 * to investigate the intermediators' and the end-users'  estimates and
 views concerning the user interfaces and functionalities,  which will
be
 developed in the project for a more effective access to the information
 ressources.

 The project will also cover:

1. developing the frames-based client for the purpose
2.  being able to "harvest"/find and handle library relevant Metadata,
containing links to documents which can be accessed via the Internet.
3.  Metadata handling regarding advanced subject search and navigating.
4.  exploiting the metadata by the libraries
5.  local adding of Metadata to documents at the libraries
6.  investigation of user views and estimations.

 We need a non-danish partner, not a library but a  research and
development institution  or company maybe interested in Metadata. Do you
know such an institution in Deutschland or  perhaps in Europe ?"
