"Я связана с ней против ее желания": О расшифровке Ц. М. Пошеманской стенографического дневника А. Г. Достоевской

Author(s): Irina S. Andrianova / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2018

In 2018 the Decree of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation abolished the profession of a stenographer due to the absence of demand. Researchers of the creative work of Fyodor Dostoevsky cherish the memory of two female stenographers — the writer’s collaborator Anna Dostoevskaya and Ceciliya Poshemanskaya, a modest stenographer from Leningrad that managed to fi nd the key to the shorthand system of the former. In the 1950s-1970s Poshemanskaya disclosed to the public the diary of Anna Dostoevskaya of 1867, the rough copies of “A Writer’s Diary” and “The Brothers Karamazov” and some more pages written shorthand by the writer’s assistant. Th e information on Poshemanskaya and her long-term, broad scale work in the memory of Dostoevsky is scarce. This article gives a brief description of the main stages of her creative career of the stenographer from Leningrad. Some additional details on life and work of Poshemanskaya are available in the documents kept in the fund of historianregistrar Sarra V. Zhitomirskaya (10239-fund). Principally, in the letters of Poshemanskaya to Vera M. Fyodorova and Sarra V. Zhitomirskaya, employees of the Manuscript Department of the V. I. Lenin State Library. The fragments of Poshemanskaya’s letters and her two letters to Vera M. Fyodorova published in the article’s supplement throw light upon the methods of the stenographer’s work and assign the objective to use her experience while decoding shorthand notes from the Dostoevsky archive as well as other historic stenographs.

Author(s): Rodica-Mariana Ion,Valentin Gurgu,Ioan Alin Bucurica,Sofia Teodorescu,Mihaela-Lucia Ion,Dana Postolache,Ioan Darida / Language(s): English / Issue: VII/2017

The paper deals with 3D scanning techniques and instruments to survey the complex stuccoes from the architectural building Nanu-Muscel from Bucharest. EXAscan Portable 3D Laser Scanner has been used to exploit the advantages of the 3D surveying techniques and produce digital models and other geometric representations useful for the protection of historic architectures and a correct solution for their restoration. After the parameterization, the scanning of two stucco-objects surface yielded to a network of points. The program analyzes the points and joins them, so the final result being the scanned object in electronic format (digitized), by "Digitized Shape Editor" module in the Catia program. The not useful surfaces have been removed and for the symmetrical reconstruction the mirroring operation was applied.

A Method for Modeling a Schema for Graph Databases

Author(s): Peretz Shoval / Language(s): English / Issue: VIII/2018

The recent decade had brought about massive growth in the Web and Web data - pictures, documents, videos and more. What worked well for years with relational databases is not well suited for the unstructured massive amounts of data and applications that are part of the Web, such as social networks. As a result, new types of database have emerged, including NoSQL (“not only SQL”) databases. Graph data-bases are one type of NoSQL database.

A Practical Approach to Ascertaining the Accuracy and Resolution of Post Rendered 3D Models Acquired Originally via 3D Digitization

Author(s): Feng Zhao,Soo Choon Loy / Language(s): English / Issue: VII/2017

3D digitization is becoming the norm in the preservation of tangible cultural properties be it movable or immovable. In the case of mobile cultural objects, 3D models are normally acquired through non-destructive methods such as photogrammetry or 3D scanning using structured light or laser. The continuing improvements in scanning equipment which result in higher accuracy and resolution can be translated to mean higher level of 3D data acquired. At times, the quantity of 3D data of a single model can get too large and beyond what a normal work-station can process. This is where optimization comes in. However, the level of optimization will vary to suit the final purpose or usage of the 3D model. During optimization, the resulting optimized 3D model is bound to suffer from some level of data loss when compared to the original 3D model acquired directly from laser scanning. This paper discusses a practical method devised by Amber Digital Solutions in maintaining a high level of accuracy of the final optimized model for national archival purposes which requires the highest form of quality.

A repozitórium – és akik körülállják

Author(s): Tamás Kozma / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3/2013

University repositories are among the most recent developments in academic life in Hungary. They were created under the notion of the “Open Access movement”, something introduced and organised by the Budapest Declaration (2001) and the Berlin Declaration (2003). The initial idea was that university repositories might help with a free flow of information supporting scientists and researchers, when there would be prompt and easily available publications. After the 2004 R+D and Innovation Act (university copyright ownerships), however, such repositories are not now “free collections” of self-archived intellectual products – rather, they have become mandatory. Today, mandatory repositories function partly as digital libraries for university scientists and researchers, but they are also, in part, tools by which university managements are able to check the research accomplishments of their academicians, as employees.

Accessing Local Literatures via Public Institutions Websites

Author(s): Alexandru Praisler / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2015

Most public institutions create and disseminate pragmatic, community oriented information via their official websites. Some, however, also have pages dedicated to literary text production, distribution and consumption. A case in point is the regional “V. A. Urechia” Public Library, Galati, Romania, with its webpage, available at http://www.bvau.ro/. Its cultural component, Axis Libri, includes links to the homonymous literary salon, cultural magazine, publishing house and book festival – all of which primarily promote Romanian culture, literature and education – but for the larger public access is limited due to the fact that translation into international languages (mostly English and French) is only partly provided, for three of the twenty-four volumes of the Axis Libri cultural magazine. A sample text and its translation into English, ‘Fănuş Neagu: Cum am scris Îngerul a strigat’ [‘Fănuş Neagu: How I Wrote The Angel Yelled’], are under scrutiny here, generating considerations regarding local representation and intercultural communication.

Achieving Quality and Impact for Europe’s Library Collections

Author(s): Louise Edwards,Ismet Ovcina / Language(s): English / Issue: 08/2015

From 2015, The European Library will be an independent, not-for-profit library services organisation, supported by CENL, LIBER and CERL. Our vision is to be the most important hub for libraries’ data in Europe. With a dataset of over 200 million records, we collaborate closely with trusted partners to develop services that maximize the impact of libraries’ data. We operate on the principles of openness and inclusivity. Affordable membership is available to all national and research libraries from the 47 Council of Europe states. The benefits to libraries are to make data work in ways that are cost-effective. We aggregate, enrich and improve data, and distribute it into the workflows of users. We return the enhanced data back to libraries to improve their own systems and processes. We are involved in innovative projects that demonstrate the application of data in new products and services. Examples include cloudbased infrastructures, full text search and browse, collection descriptions to promote the discovery of hidden resources, and linked open data for the semantic web. We are a best practice network for the sharing of knowledge and expertise. The presentation will highlight some of the services offered by The European Library, with a special focus on the libraries and collections of the Balkan region.

Affinal Kinship Terminology in the Corpus of Bulgarian and Ukrainian Parallel Texts

Author(s): Ivan Derzhanski,Olena Siruk / Language(s): English / Issue: VI/2016

In this study we examine the occurrences and correspondences of terms for affinal kinship in a Bulgarian–Ukrainian parallel corpus of fiction. All instances of the terms selected for study, matching and non-matching, were located and counted, and the frequencies compared. Some of the asymmetries found may have roots in culture and history whilst others reflect diverse features of language and the practice of literary translation.

Agricultural Rural Libraries in Serbia in the Era of Information Technology

Author(s): Vesna Crnkovic / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

This paper shows that in the era of rapid growth of technological advances (computerization and the Internet), in villages in Serbia, most farmers have neither computers at their homes nor Internet access. This fact indicates that farmers are excluded from the modern electronic flow of information and announcing, and a lot of important information does not reach them as endusers. Also, farmers are unable to educate and improve professionally, to visit fairs, seminars, lectures due to their poor financial situation. Public Library Radislav Nikcevic in Jagodina, Serbia, having perceived the issue of rural population in villages of the municipality of Jagodina, learned the needs of agricultural producers for fundamental changes. Also, Public Library in Jagodina, based on the research conducted in 2008 and 2009 in the villages in the territory of Jagodina, generated the idea that rural libraries must take an active role in creating new models of changes in the local community. The need for modernization of agricultural production imposed the need to modernize rural libraries through introduction of new services which would be in the function of social, economic and cultural status of rural population. Following the example of modern libraries of 21st century, the concept of modern rural libraries was designed. The Public Library in Jagodina decided to revitalize four rural libraries in the territory of Jagodina and introduce new library services which promoted rural libraries as information and cultural centers of local communities through the project called AgroLib-Ja (Agricultural Library in Jagodina). The project was funded by EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries) during 2010 and 2011 and since 2011 Serbian Ministry of Culture has continued funding it. Farmers have learned to come to useful information, to exchange experiences and establish cooperation through certain websites and social networks. Also, they learnt that products could be sold and bought on the Internet. This paper shows that the concept of working with innovative services in rural libraries is sustainable for sharing information and linking farmers, which was proved by the librarians in Latvia, Lithuania and FYROM Macedonia which have adapted the AgroLib project to the needs of their local communities, as well as a growing number of libraries in Serbia that are trying to provide funds for the revitalization of rural libraries in their municipalities. Also, we want to prove that the Internet and social networks have an important role in educating farmer and in agribusiness and marketing.

Aktivity Štátneho inšpektorátu archívov a knižníc na Slovensku pri budovaní archívnej organizácie (1919 – 1951)

Author(s): Pavol Tišliar / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 2/2013

This paper examines the history, structure and the activities of the Inspectorate-General of Archives and Libraries in Slovakia between 1919 and 1951. Two renowned historians occupied the post of Inspector General: Václav Chaloupecký, a Czech by birth, and Branislav Varsik. In their role, both these scholars of historiography and history who pioneered these subjects at the Comenius University expended great amounts of time and effort to protect a number of important archives. They also laid the groundwork for the establishment of a truly unified and national network of archives whose mission would be to safeguard the nation‘s cultural heritage and make it available to the general public.

An Educational 3D Maze Game for Bulgarian Orthodox Iconography

Author(s): Boyan Bontchev,Desislava Paneva-Marinova,Lubomil Draganov / Language(s): English / Issue: VI/2016

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.
