Critical technological and architectural choices for access and preservation in a digital library environment

Abstract

The article describes some basic architectural choices for the access to and preservation of digital objects at the National Library of Norway. A digital repository is a core element for the handling of both access to and preservation of the digital objects. Strategies for giving access to the complete holdings include the use of a powerful search engine and the OAI protocol to harvest metadata from conventional catalogue systems to make textual or structured indexes.
