Hispanic Digital Library is a digitization project funded by the National Library in Madrid that allows the researcher access from any terminal connected to the Internet world, in most relevant evidence base. So far the library says it has 10,000 objects in its database-compendido covering a period between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, and that includes books, maps, drawings, posters, prints, sheet music.
The interface is Available in English and in all official languages \u200b\u200bof Spain. Has simple and advanced search, the first allows búsqeda by keywords and by collection, the last can choose the type of digital file, filter fields or media type, so that the different aspects that are part of a document (font, graph, even audio or video) are equally important when searching. The latter is of particular interest because it preserves a tradition forgotten in the printed book or as an object is composed of graphs, images and other elements of physicality and format giving the reading experience a different value than the mere transcription.
in this sense, the recovery of these issues through the catalog is a good weapon for the scholar who can easily access a range of tools to document from digitization. Many documents are in PDF format, which allows you to search the text of the document without leaving aside the issue perccepción original: on the photographic layer that composes the image document binds the Transcription of same, so that some documents may inlcuso copy or highlight or annotate fragments chosen by the reader from their personal reading. It is unfortunate that this has not been applied to many of the older books, XVI and XVII century, which are accessible only photographically. Although certainly in the manuscripts and other documents is more difficult to make a transcript, as it involves the liberalization of an interpretation of the text itself, given the difficulty of reading or spelling their lack of unification.
transcription in some places has been disrupted with misprints, for example, to the modernization of some words that have received emphasis in the original is not. Thus, when copying text or transcribed electrónicamnte "cutting and pasting" into a word processing document, version differs in that coma. There
an initial division by collection, which blends technical formats, genres, specialty or geography, but it is still one more way to get to the display of the various documents available to the extent that one rejects the particular search in filters and conditions. Existing collections to date are: posters, prints, maps, drawings, hipsnoamérica, masterpieces, philology and history.
Other tools allow us to compare documents at the same time, retrieve the bibliographic details of the work, recommend or obtain other metadata, search our record store or maintain a personal page to access our favorite documents, which complements well the análisis de un documento y la posibilidad de extraer los beneficios de compartir una base de datos.
El proyecto, que pertenece a otro mayor llamado Biblioteca Digital Europea , es realmente un interesante recurso para acceder a documentos protegidos que sólo en casos extremos necesita el investigador palpar, aunque también hay que decir que la digitalización en sí virtualiza el objeto, y perdemos la referencia de tamaño, peso, textura, olor, que en muchos casos completa la experiencia completa del objeto documental. La mayoría de investigaciones puede beneficiarse del resultado logrado hasta el momento, trabajando sobre los aspectos más relevantes de su fisicidad gráfica, y para el cotejo filológico When preparing a transcript of a text based on a comparison of visu .
To a first approximation of the potential of the system is accessible to the user Quick Guide (PDF).
seems that the next step for a library like this would give the power to interact with other scans and information on the network, removing it from a collection somewhat isolated or determined by the BN corpus, perhaps in a way that incipient aims to make the Google Books service, but much more refined in the proposed links.
