    Digital Libraries and Cybersecurity: a service provider's approach
    (2025)
    ;
    Raileanu, Alexandru
    ;
    Digital Libraries have become essential resources in today's world, providing users with access to a variety of information, research materials, and cultural heritage. They come with several benefits, like improved accessibility, convenience, and the chance to collaborate across geographical boundaries. However, as their significance grows, they also attract the attention of malicious actors, leading, even in this domain, to a range of Cybersecurity challenges that need careful consideration. That's why adopting a proactive and flexible approach to Cybersecurity is crucial to tackle these threats and safeguard the availability and integrity of Digital Libraries resources. In this context, collaboration between institutions and service providers is fundamental to implement effective Cybersecurity policies. Therefore, the paper, starting with an overview of the relationship between Digital Libraries and Cybersecurity, moves on to the approach to Cybersecurity provided by 4Science for its hosted services based on DSpace, the most used open-source Digital Asset Management System in the world.

    'They have whole worlds inside of them': a brief journey into the practice of book gift giving through history
    (2018)
    This article analyses the practice of giving books as gifts through history, in Europe. It starts from the book as a ‘gift of power’ in the Merovingian and Carolingian time, going through the presenting of books amongst scholars as signs of friendship and professional appreciation, the book as ‘public gift’, and the emergence of the early nineteenth-century genre of ‘gift books’, to eventually reach the present days and the dispute between eBooks and physical books in gifting habits peculiar to the period. Wealth, symbolism, the ability to convey messages: different aspects are taken into consideration, to try and give reason of why books have always been considered so appropriate for gifting.

    Extending DSpace to fulfil the requirements of Digital Libraries for Cultural Heritage Management EDIT
    (2018)
    ;
    Digital Libraries are continuously evolving platforms aimed at managing, visualizing, curating and preserving a variety of different cultural digital objects, together with their relationships. To build sustainable Digital Libraries, we chose the open source Digital Asset Management System DSpace. To support interoperability and to allow a broad dissemination and re-use of cultural heritage and research results, we built some add-ons to be released as open source: the IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) Image Viewer, the Audio/Video Streaming Module and the OCR Module. Managing the relations between digital objects and between them an other entities (such as persons, events, places, etc.) is a key feature, in order to handle every kind of cultural heritage documents. Thus we are also enhancing the DSpace Data Model in order to provide the description of relationships within cultural contexts.

    The road (and the roadmap) for building Trusted Digital Repositories within an Interuniversity Consortium
    (2018)
    Since 1998 CILEA (now merged into CINECA) has been archiving, managing and disseminating digital cultural resources within academic libraries, historical archives and museums. Over the years several solutions have been developed, due to the peculiarities of the resources to be managed and to the continuous evolution of digital preservation paradigms and technologies. From 2008 CILEA provides a Digital Preservation and Curation Service compliant with the major requirements of the OAIS model and, in the last months, started a process of self-audit, following the recommendations of the ISO/DIS 16363 "Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories" (the so called "Magenta Book"). In particular two different platforms, including also digital preservation features, were developed for cultural resources. One for Electronic Journals management (NERA) is built upon the open source software Fedora Commons, the other (CodeX[ml]) is aimed at the preservation of digital cultural heritage (mainly ancient books and manuscripts) and was completely in-house developed. The decision of implementing two different platforms is closely related to the different nature of the documents to be preserved. Moreover CILEA has developed also the DigA (Digital Archiving) platform, built upon Fedora Commons, to be considered a Platform as a Service for Digital Preservation. All the Digital Preservation Services, currently managing nearly nine million objects, are continuously improved in order to fulfill the requirements of the Magenta Book. The proposed contribution is aimed at explaining the latest implementations carried out in order to bring CILEA's (and now CINECA's) digital preservation services to the rank of Trusted Digital Repositories (automatic check of data integrity through checksum, implementation of the PREMIS standard, etc.).

    Extending the Digital Archives of Italian Psychology With Semantic Data
    (2018)
    ASPI is a project that aims at creating a digital library of historical documents of Italian Psychology and extending it with semantic data. The extension makes it possible to retrieve archival documents not only on the basis of archival metadata, but also according to the connections the documents have with specific activities of researchers, groups and institutions, as well as with more general events in the history of Italian Psychology. The paper provides an overview of ASPI and discusses the approach and workflow we adopted in its development. In particular, ontology modeling according to CIDOC CRM, ontology population and the prototyping of a semantic search and browsing portal based on the ClioPatria platform are introduced.

    DSpace-CRIS@HKU: Achieving Visibility with a CERIF Compliant Open Source System
    (2014-07-02)
    ;
    Mennielli, Michele
    ;
    Abstract The CRIS now at the University of Hong Kong, “HKU Scholars Hub” (the Hub), began as a means to provide visibility to HKU research, people, and their expertise. It now also acts as a tool for management, evaluation and visualization of HKU research. The expected addition of CERIF compliancy to DSpace-CRIS in May 2014, will further enhance the Hub's utility for visibility, collaboration, and benchmarking.

    DSpace Hibernate-Prototype
    (2008-04-01)
    Ninfo, Daniele
    ;
    This article shows the reengineering of the persistence tier of the open source software DSpace, to introduce a lower coupling in its software layers. The prototype was made using design patterns and standards from J2EE world: Domain Store, Session Façade, Application Service, JPA were also introduced for a technological upgrade of the platform. The research and development activity aimed at this goal was accomplished in a stage offered by CILEA to achieve a degree in Computer Science Engineering, an opportunity that CILEA offers on several innovative ICT themes, with the support of its experts.
