Angie:
Thanks for your questions. See my answers below:
I am curious as to how you plan to obtain the information from
libraries? Will you create some type of an online form?
One of the prototype web pages I included -- the Input Form (filled in
as an example) --
http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/sst/registry_inputform.ht
ml would be the form that people fill out
And then, because many scanning/digitizing projects are ongoing, will
there be a means by which information may be updated?
Yes, we'll need to figure out how people can update the information,
probably send it to whoever is maintaining the database
Also, it would be nice to have a 'field' where information about raw
images vs. georeferenced images can be included.
I have included fields to capture the format of the original scan and of
the display format. Do you think we need to capture additional
information. I was trying to keep the input form as brief as possible
so that it wouldn't be too much for people to fill out.
Thanks

Chris,
Thank you for taking on this very important task. This was something
discussed at the Conference in May of 2005 on the future of map
libraries and I for one am quite please to see MAGERT stepping up to the
plate on this project.
Not everyone on this list will be able to attend the Mid-Winter
conference and so discussion, feedback, comments are welcome on Maps-L.
So, let me begin ... I am curious as to how you plan to obtain the
information from libraries? Will you create some type of an online form?
And then, because many scanning/digitizing projects are ongoing, will
there be a means by which information may be updated? Also, it would be
nice to have a 'field' where information about raw images vs.
georeferenced images can be included.
Angie

Hi everyone:
> As part of a MAGERT Publications Committee project, I have been
investigating the development of a registry for scanned mapping
projects. The purpose of such a registry would be several fold:
> * To find out what scanning has been done in a particular
geographic area
> * Head off any duplication of effort
> * Resource to use for finding a particular digital image
> * Way to review various technical parameters were used in
different projects -- file format (original scan), file format
(display), resolution, color compression, and image management software
used
>
> I am recommending that the registry be web-based and have a database
> behind it. People would input the information that would be fed into
> a database. Then others could do a search by title, keyword or
> subject (geographic area). I plan on presenting this at Midwinter at
> the MAGERT Publications Committee and MAGERT Executive Board.
>
I have developed three prototype pages to give people an idea of what
the pages might look like: Input Form --
http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/sst/registry_inputform.ht
ml
Search Screen --
http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/sst/registry_search.html
Search Result screen --
http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/sst/registry_searchresult
s.html
If you plan on attending Midwinter, please join us for the discussion at
the MAGERT Publications Committee meeting on Saturday January 21st from
4-6 pm in the Convention Center room: Room 003B. Thanks
