Its Information Gathering & Processing subsystem consists of the following
units:
• Olonkho: Archives, responsible for digitizing manuscripts, drawings,
music scores, and other graphic images;
• Olonkho: Audio, Olonkho: Photo, Olonkho: Video, to be used in
transforming original information resources into the digital format;
• Olonkho: E-Lib, to scan, identify, and collect textual documents for
the IS electronic library;
• Olonkho: Documents, to support an organization’s electronic
document turnover (agreements, standards, official correspondence,
technical specifications, reports, etc.).
The IS units’ output will be presented in files of an appropriate format.
Phenomena, objects and processes of the real world will acquire digital copies
in a multidimensional model of a specific subject area.
Each particular file – and, if necessary, its components – will come with
metadata, or specially arranged information about the file and its content, as
well as the formal attributes and a scientific description of the digital objects
carried. Metadata are needed to make the availability of digital content visible
to a potential user, as well as to administer the saving of documents and register
their reliability, technical specifications, mode of access, user responsibility,
context, timeline, and conservation purposes. Metadata shall be carried in the
extended Dublin Core format; digital objects are to be described using the XML
language and texts saved in Unicode for an adequate script representation.
The Information Storage & Arrangement subsystem consists of two main
units: Olonkho: Storage (a storage of digital objects) and Olonkho: Database
(a database to be consulted by IS users while searching for objects they need).
The base is to stock relevant information from the Information Gathering &
Processing subsystem, metadata on a subject area model, and so on.
This subsystem’s functions include:
• storing and processing textual documents in the original language, as
well as video and photographic images;
• storing alternative recordings and/or versions of documents (digital
objects);
• processing multiversion documents and their attributes;
• modelling new entities with non-predetermined sets of attributes;
