22 Everything is an object Source:

23 Objects have datastreams Source:

24 Audio Basic image Large image Book Newspaper Video PDF Paged content Islandora

25 Content ingested => Datastreams created Tiff files (zipped) Metadata (MODS or MARCXML) Fedora object relationship MODS record DC record Thumbnail Book object data

26 Datastreams created per page Binary object Technical metadata PDF JPEG 2000 Medium JPEG OCR HOCR DC record Thumbnail Fedora relationship data Page object data

27 Presentation OpenSeadragon viewer for individual pages Internet Archive bookreader for entire book Full text searchable via Apache Solr

28 Metadata Files Islandora Zipped Content Workflow Overview

29 What we have: JP2000 images Scanned and named in bound volumes Volume level metadata What we need: TIFF images Organized and named by individual Sessional Paper Paper level metadata Challenges

30 Create metadata for each Sessional Paper in a shared speadsheet Write individual marcxml files based on the spreadsheet Workflow (1): Metadata Preparation

31 Isolate Sessional Paper Transclusion Conversion Workflow (2): Content Preparation

32 Transcluded (Source) Transclusion (Process) Transcluding (New Item) Transclusion is the use of part or the whole of one or more items (e.g., text or images) in the creation of a new digital item Relevant images are copied, renamed, derived and made available at a new URL Internet Archive Tool Workflow (2a): Content Preparation

33 Assess IA Scanned item: Determine Starts and Stops Create Identifiers for each Sessional Paper Transclusion Split each Sessional Paper Workflow (2b): Content Preparation

34 Download jp2 Unzip Convert tiff Zip Workflow (2c): Content Preparation
