Digital methods, tools and algorithms are gaining in importance for the analysis of digitized manuscript collections in the arts and humanities. One example is the BMBF-funded research project "eCodicology" which aims to design, evaluate and optimize algorithms for the automatic identification of macro-and micro-structural layout features of medieval manuscripts. The main goal of this research project is to provide better insights into high-dimensional datasets of medieval manuscripts for humanities scholars. The heterogeneous nature and size of the humanities data and the need to create a database of automatically extracted reproducible features for better statistical and visual analysis are the main challenges in designing a workflow for the arts and humanities.This paper presents a concept of a workflow for the automatic tagging of medieval manuscripts. As a starting point, the workflow uses medieval manuscripts digitized within the scope of the project "Virtual Scriptorium St. Matthias". Firstly, these digitized manuscripts are ingested into a data repository. Secondly, specific algorithms are adapted or designed for the identification of macro-and micro-structural layout elements like page size, writing space, number of lines etc. And lastly, a statistical analysis and scientific evaluation of the manuscripts groups are performed. The workflow is designed generically to process large amounts of data automatically with any desired algorithm for feature extraction. As a result, a database of objectified and reproducible features is created which helps to analyze and visualize hidden relationships of around 170,000 pages. The workflow shows the potential of automatic image analysis by enabling the processing of a single page in less than a minute. Furthermore, the accuracy tests of the workflow on a small set of manuscripts with respect to features like page size and text areas show that automatic and manual analysis are comparable. The usage of a computer cluster will allow the highly performant processing of large amounts of data. The software framework itself will be integrated as a service into the DARIAH infrastructure to make it adaptable for wider range of communities.

In order to build an efficient basic information system of science and technology experts based on Web mining, a novel system architecture for application is proposed in this paper. The proposed system architecture integrates spider module, local distributed storage and Mongo-DB. The basic experts information of science and technology appeared in the Websites are synthesized as two format and using two strategies to deal with it respectively. The normalized texts which extracted from Web page by URLs are suggested. The extracted results include the name, sex, birth, hometown and professional title of science and technology experts respectively. The data stream flow, the information management model for the users and science and technology experts, the target website URLs and URLs management model, and data processing module are introduced in detailed. The synchronization of multiple databases and replica sets architecture for sharing cluster architecture is proposed in application system. Experiments show that the application system obtains a very high efficiency. The results show as by proposed system architecture can satisfy the application requirements for the customer.

Interoperable Information Exchange, Resource Discovery, and Service Quality Monitoring Across Virtual Organizations in Distributed Research Infrastructures

Recently, distributed research infrastructures were built up to feed the emerging resource demand of research institutes and enable researchers from various disciplines to access cutting edge technologies. More recently, the different research disciplines began to approach each other in the mutual goal to answer increasingly complex research problems. It has therefore become increasingly important for research infrastructures to interoperate. Exchanging resource descriptions coming from the information and monitoring systems of different research infrastructures is among the most important steps to reach interoperability.The aim of this thesis is to develop and realise a concept of an interoperable information and monitoring system, which can be used transparently with different existing distributed research infrastructures. This concept also extends the scope of existing information services by including resource properties relating to quality of service and organisational items. We focus on the information and monitoring systems, because of their importance for the other components of distributed research infrastructures. Exchanging resource descriptions, discovering resources, and monitoring the quality and availability of computing and storage resources are essential for executing jobs or transferring data in distributed research infrastructures.Based on a requirement analysis of application scenarios we identify the information needed for exchanging resource descriptions and provide a theoretical model which is capable to include that information. We also present a theoretical approach for a schema mediation process. For modeling resource descriptions in distributed research environments many information schemas and data models exist. In addition to the theoretical analysis, we discuss the evaluation of information schemas being utilized in productional environments. Based on these results, a concept of an automated resource exchange process and a respective generic monitoring architecture supporting it are provided.In addition to our theoretical analysis, concept, and models, a proof of concept for distributed research infrastructures has been developed. We also design and develop a simulation framework for service-oriented, multi-middleware environments that is based on automated system deployment and service provisioning. The evaluation is done by artificial simulation experiments in the simulation framework and in real system scenarios, which demonstrate the applicability of our concept. Instant-Grid, MediGrid, DARIAH and ePIC.Moreover, I want to thank my current and prior colleagues at the GWDG for the nice work atmosphere, as well as my friends and fellow doctoral students for their moral support, which made my day-to-day work balanced and varied. I would like to give special thanks to the two proof-readers of this work.Last, but not least, I want to thank my family for their patience and endless support.
