Reference models for digital libraries: actors and roles

Digital libraries

“…The benefits of collaborative online library reference services is an area of considerable debate (Berube, 2004; Borbinha, Kunse, Spinazze, Miutschke, Lieder, Mabe, et al, 2005; Chowdhury, 2002b; Jane & McMillan, 2003; Lankes et al, 2004; Lankes et al, 2003).

The collaboration among these actors as well as within each class of actors is crucial for ensuring the preservation of and the long-term access to digital records.…”

“…Most research in digital libraries so far has taken systemcentric approaches to address how the service will be provided and does not explore in detail the roles of and the relationships between different actors in the digital preservation community [2]. Particularly, the influence of different perspectives and behaviors of these actors on interactions between them in public sector was rarely examined.…”

“…Τα μοντέλα αυτά μπορούν όμως να εστιάζουν σε ειδικότερα τμήματα ενός μεγαλύτερου συνόλου, όπως είναι για παράδειγμα οι ανθρώπινοι φορείς [Borbinha et al, 2003], ούτως ώστε να γίνει κατανοητή η δικτύωση και αλληλεπίδραση των στελεχών αυτών του οργανισμού της ψηφιακής βιβλιοθήκης. Ένα πρόσφατο μοντέλο αναφοράς από το DELOS [Candela et al, 2006], το οποίο δημοσιεύτηκε με τον χαρακτηρισμό «Μανιφέστο», περιλαμβάνει το περιεχόμενο, τον χρήστη, τις λειτουργικότητες, την αρχιτεκτονική, την ποιότητα και την πολιτική ως συνιστώντα μέρη των ψηφιακών βιβλιοθηκών.…”
