Libraries and archives

One handover, three systems

What your presentation system, your workflow and your long-term archive each expect, delivered as a single handover.

The handover as METS: the full text as its own fileGrp beside the images, linked page by page through the structMap. Schematic, generated in the browser.

What we deliver

  • Full text as ALTO XML (v4), embedded as fileGrp USE="FULLTEXT" per the METS application profile, enabling full-text search in the DFG-Viewer. For prints from 1850 onwards, full text is mandatory under the DFG Practical Guidelines.
  • Integration with Kitodo.Production workflows: METS/MODS import, write-back of full-text references, stable identifiers. Ingestion also directly via IIIF or OAI-PMH.
  • Delivery packages fit for long-term preservation (METS/MODS/ALTO, schema-valid) per binding specifications such as SLUBArchiv.digital.
  • Full text and underlying XML handed over without rights reservation, CC0- and CC-BY-ready, as state programmes and the guidelines expect.
