| description | A Digital Library is normally consisting of or made upon a collection of digital objects plus the
information and services for storing, accessing and retrieving them. Digital Libraries by nature is
a very complex information system. Despite efforts being made to streamline its creation and
content population into an out of the box experience, there is still room for automation. For the
creation of Digital Library or Online Repositories as it also known, the availability of free open
source software such as EPrints developed at University of Southampton, United Kingdom is
has simplified the creation process. While the Digital Library software packages such as EPrints
have made it easier to create and run Digital Libraries, optimization and customization still
needs to be done in order to achieve an optimally usable solution. One the most time
consuming tasks involved in setting up a Digital Library is populating these repositories. This can
be a very manual task that consumes a large amount of time without automation. One the
most time consuming tasks involved in setting up a the content or collections of Digital Library
is the data entry that provides detailed information on the available resources which is usually
made up of metadata elements that provide information on the content stored. The Digital
Library Content Metadata Generator (COMGEN) developed as a part of this project is designed
to reduce the workload, time consumption and error prone manual data entry that are being
done the traditional way in populating Digital Libraries. COMGEN is built to demonstrate the
feasibility of automatic content generation by extracting existing metadata from the source file
and transforming it into a usable format for use with the EPrints Import Tool to automatically
add new content and populate the Digital Library/Repository. (Abstract by author) |
