Digital Archives: Extending the 5S Model through NESTOR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Archives are an extremely valuable part of our cultural heritage. Although their importance, the models and technologies that have been developed over the past two decades in the Digital Library (DL) field have not been specifically tailored on archives and this is especially true when it comes to formal and foundational frameworks, as the Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, Societies (5S) model is. Therefore, we propose an innovative formal model, called NEsted SeTs for Object hieRarchies (NESTOR), for archives, using it to extend the 5S model in order to take into account the specific features of the archives and to tailor the notion of digital library accordingly.

NESTOR: A formal model for digital archives
Archives are an extremely valuable part of our cultural heritage since they represent the trace of the activities of a physical or juridical person in the course of their business. Despite their importance, the models and technologies that have been developed over the past two decades in the Digital Library (DL) field have not been specifically tailored to archives. This is especially true when...

متن کاملThe NESTOR Model: Properties and Applications in the Context of Digital Archives
We present and describe the NEsted SeTs for Object hieRarchies (NESTOR) Model that allows us to model, manage, access and exchange hierarchically structured resources. The NESTOR Model is based on two set data models which can be put in relation with the tree data structure. We present these models highlighting their properties and the relationships with the tree. We present a concrete use case...
متن کاملHow to Handle Hierarchically Structured Resources Addressing Interoperability Issues in Digital Libraries
We present and describe the NEsted SeTs for Object hieRarchies (NESTOR) Framework that allows us to model, manage, access and exchange hierarchically structured resources. We envision this framework in the context of Digital Libraries and using it as a mean to address the complex and multiform concept of interoperability when dealing with hierarchical structures. The NESTOR Framework is based o...
متن کاملExtending the 5S Digital Library (DL) Framework: From a Minimal DL towards a DL Reference Model
In this paper, we describe ongoing research in three DL projects that build upon a common foundation – the 5S DL framework. In each project, we extend the 5S framework to provide specifications for a particular type of DL service and/or system – finally, moving towards a DL reference model. In the first project, we are working on formalizing content-based image retrieval services in a DL. In th...
