EDITORIAL

B y being awarded the seal of innovative SME from the Ministry ofEconomy and Competitiveness, the Administration of the State ac-knowledges and certifies DIGIBÍS effort during the last fifteen years

in proposing certified R+D+I projects.This rewards the commitment of our company to innovate in the field of

digitisation, for libraries, archives and museums programmes (GLAM) inthe theoretical framework of new technologies and, what is more impor-tant, the revitalising of these projects in four applications to manage digitallibraries, archives, museums and aggregators of metadata.Nine projects have been implemented in this field from 2000 to 2016 and,

what is relevant, have been certified by the Spanish Agency forStandardisation and Certification (AENOR). All ofthese projects are based on the analysis of boththe market as well as international standards,anticipating the needs of the libraries, archivesand museums (GLAM) sector in a new context.Indeed, professionals theoretically know about

the advances of documentation science, espe-cially in the field of information and communica-tion technologies, but seldom benefit from thembecause the digital integrated management sys-tems that are available to them are very far awayfrom the possibilities of current developments.

Aware of this, DIGIBÍS maintains an Innovation Department, in collabora-tion with the Ignacio Larramendi Foundation, that keeps a constant techno-logical surveillance policy, even participating in AENOR’s committees andgiving an account of the developments in articles, papers and communica-tions.Even more important is that this technological surveillance is reflected in

a growing number of jobs that are closely linked between the InnovationDepartment and the IT Department of DIGIBÍS and are incorporated intothe new versions of the DIGIBIB, DIGIARCH, DIGIMÚS and DIGIHUB pro-grammes.When the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness awarded us the seal

of innovative SMES it recognised a reality and DIGIBÍS, with its apprecia-tion, replies with a new project called SEMERITAGE on which further infor-mation will be provided in DIGICLIC.

EUROPEANA

T he Annual General Meeting (AGM) of theEuropeana Network Association took placethis year in the National Library of Latvia in

Riga. It was carried out on 8 and 9 November, un-der the motto "Show us what you've got" This meeting reported that the new strategy is

based on:• facilitating the exchange of data to Euro-peana, as objective that is addressed at her-itage institutions; and

• modernising the ways in which users accesscontent, focusing on access to pedagogicalapplications and on thematic access

On the first point, there was a discussion on"direct operation", which would mean loadingdata into Europeana directly through an API or aCMS, for example. This would be a complementa-ry operation to those of the current aggregators.On the second point, it became obvious that

thematic collections are moving on as a matter ofpriority in connection with the general portal, withtheir more than 53 million records. And for thefirst time, the European Commission intends tofinance mediation projects in the virtual collec-tions of Europeana.

During the two days of the meeting manyissues were addressed, such as the mandategiven to the Europeana to exert pressure in thefield of author’s rights or in assessing the impactof the European digital library. The American members, for their part, spoke

of their experience in the DPLA, the Getty, theNYPL Labs, or the Smithsonian InstitutionArchives. The "Chief's table" focused on the use of

Europeana for research and education, but alsofor the dissemination of heritage, the user-cen-tred design and the use of Wikidata. The interes -ting "ignite talks" were like a vast brainstorm,something that characterises this rich anddiverse European network: the use of Open Datafor education, the use of virtual reality to presentcultural heritage, "Geodata", the introduction ofinteractive 3D in Europeana, the transcription toolof Europeana, Europeana as an encyclopaedia forEuropean culture, etc.The meeting ended with a speech by Mia Ridge,

from the British Library, on the digitization, enti-tled "Why do we digitise? 20 reasons in 20 pic-tures”.

I n the last DIGICLIC, we advanced the creationof AMERICANAE, a dissemination and compi-lation system for collections, which was offi-

cially launched on 28 June 2016 by Maria AraceliGarcía Martín, director of AECID's Library, at the27th General Assembly and REDIAL conferencesheld in Salamanca. With this aggregator, the AECID has made the

proposal a reality, launched by Xavier Agenjo, ProjectDirector of the Ignacio Larramendi Foundation, atthe 7th Meeting of Spanish REDIAL Centres, in 2013,to create a portal that will bring together the docu-mentation on Latin America that is held by variousEuropean institutions and the rest of the world.AMERICANAE, as a single point of consultations

for Americanist collections, compiles informationabout digitisation projects and digital collectionsof libraries, archives and museums rela ted to theLatin American subject and harvests the metadatavia the open access repositories of institutions,both national (Documentation Centre of theCanary Islands and America, Hispanic-AmericanStudies College of CSIC or Latin America in thecollections of the Virtual Library of Bibliogra -phical Heritage, of the Ministry of Education,Culture and Sport) as well as international(Centre d’Information Scientifique et TechniqueREGARDS, Digitalen Sammlungen des Ibero-Amerikanischen Instituts, LLILAS Benson LatinAmerican Studies and Collections). By the end of 2016, AMERICANAE has gathered

nearly 170,000 digital resources and 16 reposito-ries. The project, which uses the DIGIHUB soft-ware, has been conceived on the same technolog-ical base as that of Europeana and Hispana andhas, among its features:A directory of digitization projects and reposi-

tories of Latin America and Europe.• An OAI-PMH harvester that compiles its con-tent from different OAI repositories that arearranged in thematic sets with such content.

• An OAI-PMH repository, dynamically fed fromthe harvester, which allows to add digital re-

sources harvested from different national (forexample, HISPANA) and international (Euro-peana, OAIster, Digital Public Library Of Amer-ica, etc.) services.

• A SRU server.

Application and use of Linked Open Data technology

But AMERICANAE also represents a step forwardin the field of the harvesting and aggregation ofdigital resources, because it allows semanticallyenriched resources to be harvested and aggre-gated and to be exported in RDF. Linked OpenData Technology (LOD) is the present and futureof digital collections, and AMERICANAE is pre-pared for it.

Interconnection with Europeana and DPLA.

In addition, the system integrates the search APIsof Europeana and DPLA, in such a way that theuser, when searching in AMERICANAE, is able tosee the results obtained with enriched records ofboth databases.

In this sense, we can announce thatthe 26 287 images corresponding to the 97 worksdigitised by DIGIBÍS in 2016, were loaded togeth-er with their ALTO files (those that contain theresult of the OCR process) and can now be con-sulted and sought at full text on this VirtualLibrary’s website.These digital objects were handed over with

their corresponding metadata: Dublin Core, MAR-CXML, ISO 2709 and METS. And thanks to the OAI-PMH repository of the Virtual Library of La Rioja,which supports OAI_DC, ESE formats (EuropeanaSemantic Elements) and EDM (Europeana DataModel), the records are accessible from Hispanaand Europeana, aggregators in which the Libraryhas participated since its creation in 2008.

T he Educational Digital Library of the Regionof Murcia is an outstanding example of thediffusion that can be carried out using the

digitisation of the educational heritage main-tained by the Historical Secondary Schools of ourcountry. The educational heritage, as José Luis Yepes, a

professor at the IES Alfonso X El Sabio (Murcia)stated, during the 10th Congress of HistoricalEducation Schools (Teruel, from 30 June to 3 July2016), is part of the historical and cultural her-

itage, although it has not been recognised strictlyin the legal framework (even in non-law propos-als) and "survives oblivion in a legal limbo"1. The library collections of Historical Secondary

Schools have suffered political and bureaucraticswings (confiscations, changes of institution, lackof staff, etc.) as well as the theft and abuse of itsusers. This is why Yepes concludes: "In this situa -tion of barbarism and pillaging, […] digitizationcomes to us today as an emergency service."2. Because of all this, the Educational Digital

Library of the Region of Murcia takes the dissemi -nation and preservation of its heritage very seriouslyand uses this digital platform as a point of access toboth the historical collections held by the SecondarySchools of the region (from the 16th century) as wellas to the educational publications edited by theMinistry of Education of Murcia from 2000.DIGIBIB‘s digital library management system

has been entrusted with this, which has been

recently upgraded to the 9.1 version. In addition,since 2011 the collections of the Institute Alfonso Xhave been gradually digitised by DIGIBÍS, which in2016 digitised 10,518 images corresponding to 26works. This Digital Library has an OAI-PMH repo -sitory that supports OAI_DC, ESE and EDM for-mats, which allows its visibility and disseminationto be increased through its presence in Hispanaand Europeana.

CERTIFICATESIN R+D+I

S ince 2000, DIGIBÍS has carried out nine pro -jects that have been certified as first in the

Programme for the Promotion of Technical Re-search (PROFIT due to its abbreviation in Span-ish), by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Com-petitiveness, and later by the Spanish Associationfor AENOR Certification. The results of those R+D+I projects have been

implemented in the application developed byDIGIBÍS in the field of information and communica-tion technologies for libraries, archives and mu -seums, which is now known by the acronym GLAM.

DIGIBIB, to manage digital libraries

The DIGIBIB application for the management ofdigital libraries between 2000 and 2002 benefitedfrom the DIGIPRESV and DIGIPRESV v. 2.0 projectthat had to do with the standard digital exchangeof information from memory institutions (MI). In the same way that any user of the DIGIBIB

programme notices, the bibliographic records ofauthorities and records of collections can beexported in a variety of formats, all of which arestandardised: MARC21, ISO 2709, MARC21 XML,MODS, METS, PREMIS, BibTeX, SWAP, DublinCore, ESE and EDM.The Virtual Library of Polygraphs of the Ignacio

Larramendi Foundation takes advantage of theproject to create an Ontology for the SemanticWeb based on the Virtual Library of Polygraphswhich, recognised by the PROFIT programme,was implemented also on the DIGIBIB platform. Itshould be noted that the Virtual Library ofPolygraphs has been recognised as a case studyby W3C and Europeana.

In 2008 AENOR certified our research for stan-dardisation processes and interoperability of di -gital libraries. In fact, virtual or digital librariesthat have a DIGIBIB application, use this intero -perability very efficiently when they integratestandard type digitisation projects thanks to theMETS export and import module.

DIGIHUB, harvester and OAI-PMH repository.

In this application, DIGIHUB, with PROFIT recog-nition, in 2005 and 2006, thanks to the “OpenArchive Initiative Protocol Metadata HarvestingRepo sitory and Harvester (OAI-PMH)”, the ROAIDirectory and Harcester of Digital Resources wasimplemented in the Ministry of Education, Cultureand Sport.

That directory and harvester of digital re sour -ces, at a later stage, became the infrastructurefor Hispana and added new features, becomingthe current National Aggregator of Metadata.DIGIHUB is the application with which Ameri -canae and other aggregators of autonomouscommunities also operate.

APPLICATIONS

Hispana, in an internally fully transparentmanner, adds metadata from OAI-PMH reposito-ries and is added by international projects, parti -cularly by Europeana. Thanks to this, Hispana isthe fifth largest supplier of Europeana metadataand the first among the national ones.

DIGIARCH, to manage digital archives

DIGIARCH has relied on all of these R+D+I pro -jects, as well as subsequent developments.Among them is the 2010 project, devoted to thenew conceptual and functional models of digitalobjects, and the 2011 “Management of digitalobjects and metadata in Linked Open Data”project.

This application also features the Open ArchiveInitiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) module, which is going to provide very effi-cient results from this year. In any case, the files have already a transpa -

rent interface that allows the OAI repository to bedynamically updated from the archive database,

which in turn allows the records to be harvestedby a OAI-PMH harvester.DIGIARCH, as is the case of DIGIBIB and

DIGIMÚS, has a way to transparently publish datain Linked Open Data, as in the case of OAI-PMH inaccordance to the ontology of the Europeana DataModel.

DIGIMÚS, for the digital management of museums, exhibitions and art galleries

The DIGIMÚS programme has been developedfrom the following projects: «Digicloud. Digitalheritage in the cloud” of 2012 and certified in 2013,and “Interfaces to consult archives, libraries andmuseums on the data web”, in 2013 and certifiedin 2014.

Benefits of the DIGIBÍS applications

All certified projects, either in the PROFIT pro-gramme, or by AENOR, provide feedback to allDIGIBÍS programmes, which is clearly seen in thenew versions that are released on a regular basis. For example, the first of our company’s appli-

cations, DIGIBIB, is being developed in theComputer Science Department, in close contactwith the Innovation Department and with the col-laboration of the Ignacio Larramendi Foundation (FIL), so that version 10 can be implementednext year. We have the good fortune of being able to do

the testing of the new functionalities in a real userenvironment thanks to the Polimath VirtualLibrary of the FIL, which for these purposesbecomes a beta version of DIGIBIB.

gitization of 210,000 new images.The magnitude and importance of the project,

whose digitization volume will be around one mil-lion pages, is enormous if we take into accountthe importance of this institution and its biblio-graphic collection, composed of more than326,000 volumes, many of them of great interest. Its value as a source of information on eco-

nomics, politics and law, often linked to itsunique character and to consultation require-

ments together with that demanded by its physi-cal preservation, has meant that the Bank ofSpain has considered necessary to digitise themwith the intention that we have already men-tioned: their preservation and dissemination onthe Web.Of the 106,098 digital objects, in addition to the

relevant images DIGIBÍS delivered the DublinCore, ISO 2709 METS, MODS and MARCXML files,all validated with JHOVE.The tracking page, already mentioned in our

I n the summer of 2016, DIGIBÍS obtained theseal of Innovative SME, a prestigious accred-itation awarded by the Ministry of Economy

and Competitiveness (MEC) through the Secretaryof State for Research, Development and Innova-tion, which represents the entry in the Register ofthe innovative Small and Medium-Sized Enter-prises of the Directorate General for Innovationand Competitiveness of the Ministry.

The distinction, regulated in the OrderECC/1087/ 2015 of 5 June, is granted to thoseSMES that meet any of the conditions laid down inthe heading "Scope of application" of that Order.DIGIBÍS is encompassed in paragraph "b) compa-nies that have demonstrated their innovativecharacter, through their own activity.", and in itspoint 2: "for having obtained, in the three yearsprior to the right for this allowance, a reasonedbinding positive report for the purposes of apply-ing the deduction referred to in Article 35 of theLaw 27/2014, of 27 November, for Corporate Tax".

Policy of support and encouragement

The Order is not only to issue the seal of innova-tive SME, but also stipulates the creation and reg-

ulation of the operating of a public register forinnovative SMES by the Ministry of Economy andCompetitiveness. In this way, it allows them to bevalued, encourages their identification andassists in specific policies being drawn up forthem.With this initiative of Innovative SME logo, the

MEC wants to support and encourage the SMEsector to be engaged full or part time in R+D+I, asin the case of DIGIBÍS.Although in Spain SMES represent, in the same

way as in the European Union, 99% of the busi-ness fabric, and their contribution to the grossvalue added of our economy is 68%, whichexceeds the European Union average, one of theproblems with our Science, Technology andBusiness system is the reduced number of inno-vative enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
