Design of work environment for Haskala research team
Metadata enrichment:
include digitised versions of books (Frankfurt University
Library, National Library of Israel and others)
– Provide controlled vocabularies for present textual strings (
e.g. VIAF for names, GeoNames for locations)
• Publish parts of the database in Europeana/LOD

Knowledge management
Functionalities to become available:
• Improved data structure -simple queries instead of
categories
• Searching information – creating own queries
• Automatically generated lists – up to date
• Visual display of information – timelines, graphs,
maps
• External reuse – data source for other applications
