Ceris-CNR project of Digital Preservation Infrastructure (DigiBess) committed by Bess (Social Science Electronic Library of Piemonte) and sponsored by Compagnia di San Paolo of Turin (Italy).
Ceris-CNR has deployed the software and server platforms of the repository, in a virtualized and redundant infrastructure and also take care of the design, development and management of the web portal (front-end) for the presentation, research and consulting data of the digitalized items.CNR role is to handle all the post-scan of the digitalization.
Some keywords: pdf/a, high resolution tiff, txt file; Dublin Core metadata; 2-node active/passive open-source cluster; High Availabilty Hypervisor using cluster storage; Fedora Commons repository; harvesting OAI-PMH; scripting for ingesting; Custom models and datastreams; Islandora; Drupal CMS; Solr - search platform from the Apache Lucene project.
The open-source community helped us to build on our project and this site is our thanks, of course at disposal of the open-source community.
Mark Leggott, Islandora Lead, blogged (here) about our DigiBESS site:“The BESS team has also done a great job of documenting their effort on a Dev Page, including a comprehensive PDF guide to their processes. Excellent work and a good indication of what can be done using open source software!”.
Branimir Kolev, the German federal archive (Bundesarchiv), about DigiBESS:“While searching the web for information about Islandora, I am glad, I found your excellent installation guide for setting up of a digital preservation infrastructure.
Excellent, because it is a great knowledge-extract of all the details we need to get the system configured and running from scratch. Your paper is a real help for us and I would like to give you a Big “Thank You” for your efforts - To You and to the whole team!”.
