  13. AN AGGREGATION OF DATA • database and information system relating to the end user • not a mere replica of a physical library • surpasses significantly the opportunities that were offered by the traditional scientific infrastructure • descriptive metadata, i.e. catalogue entries, are aggregated, and they are converted to a uniform format • joint search finds manuscripts

  14. AN INTEGRATION OF SERVICES • service is a new concept in relation to the manuscript sphere • it already affects some elements of actual research work • whatever exists only in traditional printed or written and other, simply analogue form does not exist

  15. PERSONALISED TOOLS AND SPHERES • a user´s own digital space • a possibility to accumulate the results of previous work • one’s own tools for acquiring results as well as for their further processing and subsequent utilisation • for himself/herself • to other selected persons • to all users

  17. IMAGES • black & white optimisation • details • UV scanning (for palimpsests) • …

  18. FULLTEXTS • a fluid text • a contextual edition

  19. A MUSIC NOTATION • a written record of music • a text in the semiotic meaning • an edition in a similar sense like a textual edition

  20. A COMPARISON OF FULLTEXTS • based on vectoral statistics • working with XML, HTML, TXT • a numerical-statistical representation of results • a graphical representation of results

  21. A COMPARISON OF IMAGES • distinguishing and selecting: a text, a music notation, an illumination, a border, a diagramm, a table • finding the same or a very similar illumination • finding the same or a very similar detail of illumination • finding a similar composition of figurative and/or non-figurative illumination • …

  22. A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT • a virtualisation of knowledge • a path of how to uncover implicit, not only explicit, features of the objects • culturomics • back to the digitisation of the written and a documentary heritage

  23. THE FUTURE… • continuing the same way • a cooperation with more and more partners • an aggregation of data and metadata • a more close network • an integration of services • a virtualisation of the networked digital environment • a personal space • external tools • an interoperabilty • webservices
