Digitization at the Németh László Public Library

Abstract

MTA SZTAKI and iKron Ltd. released a new integrated library management system called Huntéka in 2002. The development of the system is based on our development plans and on the valuable feedback of Huntéka users. In this paper, a new Huntéka module is described, the e-Library, available as an independent software called JaDoX too, developed by iKron Ltd. This module helps and simplifies digitisation work from document processing through standardized storage to publishing on the Internet. JaDoX is a platform-independent document handling system based on open standards. JaDoX editor helps to transform unstructured text sources into TEI-based XML documents after recognition and proofing preparation. The results can be easily uploaded to the JaDoX server by one key press or mouse click. The JaDoX server stores the documents in relational database. It serves the documents for browsing, searching and publishing methods, which can be initiated on the web user interface.
