  • Hathitrust Preferred Internet Archive Book Package Overview
    HathiTrust Preferred Internet Archive Book Package Overview & Background As a by-product of the Internet Archive scanning process, a variety of different files and formats are available to everyone, everywhere. This differs from the Google output, which offers no file-level variations or options. However, this also means that files chosen for ingest into the HathiTrust repository must be carefully selected, with an eye towards both near-term and long-term utility. The process of selecting files that is described below attempted to balance the following important criteria: a baseline, cross-partner standard; functional consistency with the Google work products; a desire to keep the highest quality master images; a disinclination to discard useful information; and an attempt to minimize overall package size to reduce storage costs. Ingest into the HathiTrust repository will require pre-processing of the original file set described below in order to normalize files to an expected format. This normalization will allow HathiTrust processes to accommodate content from all partners. This process is currently in development and a link to the documentation of the process will be included here, once it is finalized. File Selection Criteria In the following section, the files selected for ingest into the HathiTrust repository are identified, along with a justification for why they were selected. Also listed are files that are available from the Internet Archive, but have not been selected. A description of each file can be found in the All Available Files & Characteristics section below. All files below are ​ ​ ​ named using the Internet Archive identifier, preceding the underscore (ex.

  • Overview of the INEX 2009 Book Track
    Overview of the INEX 2009 Book Track Gabriella Kazai1, Antoine Doucet2, Marijn Koolen3, and Monica Landoni4 1 Microsoft Research, United Kingdom [email protected] 2 University of Caen, France [email protected] 3 University of Amsterdam, Netherlands [email protected] 4 University of Lugano [email protected] Abstract. The goal of the INEX 2009 Book Track is to evaluate ap- proaches for supporting users in reading, searching, and navigating the full texts of digitized books. The investigation is focused around four tasks: 1) the Book Retrieval task aims at comparing traditional and book-specific retrieval approaches, 2) the Focused Book Search task eval- uates focused retrieval approaches for searching books, 3) the Structure Extraction task tests automatic techniques for deriving structure from OCR and layout information, and 4) the Active Reading task aims to explore suitable user interfaces for eBooks enabling reading, annotation, review, and summary across multiple books. We report on the setup and the results of the track. 1 Introduction The INEX Book Track was launched in 2007, prompted by the availability of large collections of digitized books resulting from various mass-digitization projects [1], such as the Million Book project5 and the Google Books Library project6. The unprecedented scale of these efforts, the unique characteristics of the digitized material, as well as the unexplored possibilities of user interactions present exciting research challenges and opportunities, see e.g. [3]. The overall goal of the INEX Book Track is to promote inter-disciplinary research investigating techniques for supporting users in reading, searching, and navigating the full texts of digitized books, and to provide a forum for the exchange of research ideas and contributions.

  • The Internet Archive: an Interview with Brewster Kahle Brewster Kahle and Ana Parejo Vadillo
    The Internet Archive: An Interview with Brewster Kahle Brewster Kahle and Ana Parejo Vadillo Rumour has it that one of the candidates for Librarian of Congress is Brewster Kahle, the founder and director of the non-profit digital library Internet Archive.1 That he may be considered for the post is a testament to Kahle’s commitment to mass digitization, the cornerstone of modern librarianship. A visionary of the digital preservation of knowledge and an outspo- ken advocate of the open access movement (the memorial for the Internet activist Aaron Swartz was held at the Internet Archive’s headquarters in San Francisco), Kahle has been part of the many ventures that have created our cyber age. At MIT, he was on the project team of Thinking Machines, a precursor of the World Wide Web. In 1989 he created WAIS (Wide Area Information Server), the first electronic publishing system, which was designed to search and make information available. He left Thinking Machines to focus on his newly founded company, WAIS, Inc., which was sold to AOL two years later for a reported $15 million. In 1996 he co- founded Alexa Internet, which was built on the principles of collecting Web traffic data and analysis.2 The company was named after the Library of Alexandria, the largest repository of knowledge in the ancient world, to highlight the potential of the Internet to become such a custodian. It was sold for c. $250 million in stock to Amazon, which uses it for data mining. Alongside Alexa Internet, in 1996 Kahle founded the Internet Archive to archive Web culture (Fig.

  • On the Interoperability of Ebook Formats
    It is widely seen as a serious problem that European as well as international customers who have bought an ebook from one of the international ebook retailers implicitly subscribe to this retailer as their sole future ebook On the Interoperability supplier, i.e. in effect, they forego buying future ebooks from any other supplier. This is a threat to the qualified European book distribution infrastructure and hence the European book culture, since subscribers to one of these of eBook Formats ebook ecosystems cannot buy future ebooks from privately owned community-located bricks & mortar booksellers engaging in ebook retailing. This view is completely in line with the Digital Agenda of the European Commission calling in Pillar II for “an effective interoperability Prof. Christoph Bläsi between IT products and services to build a truly digital society. Europe must ensure that new IT devices, applications, data repositories and services interact seamlessly anywhere – just like the Internet.” Prof. Franz Rothlauf This report was commissioned from Johannes Gutenberg University Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz – Germany Mainz by the European and International Booksellers Federation. EIBF is very grateful to its sponsors, namely the Booksellers Association of Denmark, the Booksellers Association of the Netherlands and the Booksellers Association of the UK & Ireland, whose financial contribution made this project possible.
