Digitization Workflow Management System for Massive Digitization Projects

چکیده
The Digitization Workflow Management System (DWMS) is a system developed in Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Library of Alexandria, to manage the whole process of digitization including its various phases, system users, files movement, archiving, and integration with the ILS and the library digital repository. The system supports workflow dynamic evolutions and deviation to allow for exception handling. It provides history tracking of actions and flexibility to simultaneously manage multiple projects with a diversity of materials. Moreover, it supports ingesting a job in the middle of the workflow and allows easy integration of tools used to perform functions of the workflow. Index Terms — Digitization, Workflow, Digital Library.
