English abstract

MALVINE will provide access to distributed holdings of modern manuscripts kept in European libraries and archives. The service will be available as of 1.1.2003 at: http://www.malvine.org. The launch of MALVINE will not mark the end of a development but - hopefully - rather the beginning of a new phase of activities in the sector of modern manuscripts. The future emphasis of MALVINE will clearly be the maintenance and consolidation of the status quo and the integration of further data providers with a view on increasing the pan-European significance of search results. At the time of launching MALVINE the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting will play no role in the network scenario. The presentation will describe how the MALVINE Consortium envisages the possibly future use of the protocol in a landscape of European institutions - be these great or small - providing data to a joint service. The LEAF project (http://www.leaf-eu.org) develops a model architecture for establishing links between distributed authority records (personal names only) and providing access to them. The system will allow uploads of the distributed authorities to a central system and automatically link those authorities concerning the same entity. It will be shown how the OAI protocol plays a vital role in keeping the central repository up-to-date at any time.
