چکیده
DIGMAP is a digital library specialized in searching and browsing services for old maps and related resources. The service reuses metadata from national libraries and other relevant third party metadata sources, providing added value services by aggregating all the data in comprehensive collections, browsing indexes and search functions. The services are based in a set of specialized tools, comprising namely a catalogue, an image’s feature indexer, a metadata repository, a geographic gazetteer and a geo-parser. The extraction of relevant visual features from images of digitized maps is another focus of the project. The architecture and the technology give it also the ability to easily interoperate with other complementary external services.
