About Kitodo.Presentation
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
Kitodo.Presentation is a powerful framework for building a METS-based digital
|
||
library. It is highly customizable through an user-friendly backend and flexible
|
||
design templates.
|
||
|
||
Since it is based on the great free and open source Content Management System
|
||
TYPO3, it can be integrated seamlessly into your website and can easily be
|
||
managed by editors.
|
||
|
||
Kitodo.Presentation provides a comprehensive toolset covering all basic
|
||
requirements for presenting digitized media: books, archivalia, digital
|
||
depositary copies, manuscripts and letters, prints, newspapers and magazines.
|
||
|
||
Download of current version is `avaiable on GitHub <https://github.com/kitodo/kitodo-presentation>`_.
|
||
|
||
Libraries using Kitodo.Presentation
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The following libraries use KITODO.Presentation for their digital collections:
|
||
|
||
* `SLUB Dresden <http://digital.slub-dresden.de/>`_
|
||
* `UB "Georgius Agricola" at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg <http://digital.ub.tu-freiberg.de/>`_
|
||
* `SUB Hamburg <http://digitalisate.sub.uni-hamburg.de/>`_
|
||
* `Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library Hannover <http://digitale-sammlungen.gwlb.de/>`_
|
||
* `UB Mannheim <http://goobi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/>`_
|
||
* `Orff-Zentrum München <http://www.orff-zentrum.de/>`_
|
||
* `Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart <http://digital.wlb-stuttgart.de/digitale-sammlungen/>`_
|
||
|
||
In Kitodo.Presentation, the METS/MODS formats are flexible. Digital collections
|
||
can be configured for any METS-based format, e.g. METS/TEI for manuscripts.
|
||
|
||
Unrestricted access to TYPO3 functions, such as user authentication, session
|
||
handling, language localization, caching, etc., is possible within the
|
||
Kitodo.Presentation functional modules. The entire system is multi-client
|
||
capable, i.e. any number of instances of Kitodo.Presentation can be run within
|
||
a single TYPO3 installation, each with its own configuration, search index,
|
||
database, access permissions, visual design, etc.
|
||
|
||
Kitodo.Presentation offers a standard OAI 2-compliant interface for
|
||
international search capability and digital metadata legibility. We recommend
|
||
registering your Kitodo installation with the appropriate public OAI register.
|
||
|
||
Software Components
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
The software primarily consists of three modules:
|
||
|
||
Commons
|
||
^^^^^^^
|
||
is a group of classes that build upon the TYPO3 API, adding
|
||
Goobi-specific functions, such as handling METS structures and library metadata
|
||
in various formats, or linking external resources, such as OAI interfaces or
|
||
Solr search engines. The API extensions are available to all TYPO3 extensions,
|
||
which means that they can not only be used by Kitodo.Presentation, but by other
|
||
extensions as well. Thus, commercial or other very specific functions, which
|
||
are only necessary in single installations, aren’t part of the official
|
||
Kitodo.Presentation release, but are created as separate extensions.
|
||
|
||
Modules
|
||
^^^^^^^
|
||
is a group of components that are integrated into the TYPO3 backend and
|
||
manage the configuration of extensions as well as of digital resources, clients
|
||
and collections. Currently, there is a module for client management and one for
|
||
manually importing new resources or newly-indexed existing digital resources.
|
||
In addition, they enable a highly granular configuration of structure and
|
||
metadata handling as well as database management. Further, a command line
|
||
interface is provided, which allows automation of procedures, such as importing
|
||
digital resources.
|
||
|
||
Plugins
|
||
^^^^^^^
|
||
are components that build the frontend output and provide various functions.
|
||
All plugins can be precisely configured via GUI and freely dropped into
|
||
TYPO3-managed web pages. All frontend outputs are based on design
|
||
templates and are thus fully customizable. Currently, Kitodo.Presentation
|
||
contains 12 plugins.
