Treasures With the World; Powerful scanners allow for the preservation and
easy dissemination of ancient texts, but the volume of material waiting to
be processed is enormous. Los Angeles Times, Nov. 24, 2010.

Check out the buttons in the left column: "Book digitalization Systems" and
"Samples."
(c) The report mentions "Nancy Cline, the Roy E. Larsen Librarian of Harvard
College.
O, Harvard has not only endowed professorships but endowed librarian also.

Quote:
"'Nowadays, the easiest part is scanning the material,' [James] Roth[,
library’s deputy director] said. 'The issue is, what do you do with all
those images? That’s the cutting-edge part of what we’re doing now.'
"Every document and image has been scanned by hand, to protect the originals
, at high resolution (600 dots per inch) to ensure that even pencil notes
would be legible.
My comment:
(a) Following quotation 1, answers appear: cataloging and "appending
relevant data to each document."
(b)
(i) Camelot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelot
(the castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Absent in
the early Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French
romances./ The name's derivation is also unknown)
(ii) "Camelot, a fond nickname for the relatively good times during the
early part of John F. Kennedy's presidency of the United States."

The key technology involved for archive digitalization is OCR (Optical
Character Recognition).
Google has the resources to continue an earlier project of HP.
If you search for Tesseract-OCR, you will find this Open Source Project
hosted by Google.
But there's a hell lot of work to be done before you can expand to different
languages other than English. | c**i

Besides, Iron Mountain placed servers for the digital files in moutain caves
. Also in the Globe.

What do you mean by this paragraph? I thought that by digitilizing, an image
is taken, whatever is on it (such as musical notes). Do you mean a software
that can read what is on it?

发帖数: 21909 | 7 我很不喜欢电子的东西，很多电子书在这里没有办法，只好下载了。其实我下载了很多
东西，真正要读的，都要打印出来。
读电子的东西，有些水过地皮湿的感觉， 印象不深。纸媒我想不会淘汰吧。
现在的电子书，使得书很多好的地方都消失了，只剩下了文字。书的装帧，书的用纸，
已经书中的暗图，都没有了。 |
