Enhancing Access to Digitized Glagolitic Material of Zadar County Through GlagoLab Portal
Scientific Centre for Research in Glagolitism of the University of Zadar is conducting a range of interdisciplinary cross-institutional projects with activities that include digitization of Glagolitic manuscripts of Zadar county and its fragments, digitization of watermarks found in those manuscripts, and designing and building a database of Glagolitic manuscripts, fragments and watermarks. The GlagoLab: Portal and digital laboratory for collaborative research and promotion of the Croatian Glagolitic alphabet was built as part of the Center and is intended for creating a common repository for research of the Glagolitics of Zadar county. Its main intention is to develop a virtual research environment with the aim of enhancing research of Zadar Glagolitics, searching and using digitized collections of Glagolitics, together with integrated tools for data and text mining of the collection, visualizations of data and infrastructure which support complex lexical, palaeographical, historical and other research of Glagolitics. After digitizing and publishing Glagolitic manuscripts, fragments and watermarks, research and access possibilities need to be explored. The focus of this paper is on enhancing access to digital collections of Zadar Glagolitics, both for scholars as well as for general public. To search digital collections of Zadar Glagolitics, it is expected that scholars use search boxes, but at the same time they are browsing catalogues to discover material of interest. This paper will analyze and discuss browsing strategies with the aim of developing an interface with searching and browsing options which will facilitate efficient exploration of Zadar Glagolitics digital collections. Browsing strategies should take into account variety of users who visit the portal and explore collections for different reasons and needs. Adequate browsing option depends on the user requirements, as well as on variety of digitized objects and metadata schemas used for its description. This paper will investigate theoretical approaches on enhancing access to cultural collections. Therefore, searching and browsing strategies for enhancing access and research of the collections of Zadar Glagolitics will be analyzed and proposed. Based on theoretical approaches and case study result, which will include collections of Zadar Glagolitics, basic requirements of GlagoLab Portal concerning various browsing options will be indicated, namely categories of the users of the collections (scholars, general public) and models of accessing and browsing the collections, including highlighting of the metadata relevant for access and browsing the collections. The concept of “Generous Interfaces”, which provide rich and navigable representations of digital collections, will be questioned as well as visualization for browsing, including timelines, word clouds, graph diagrams, and navigation structures. Besides supporting access, the aim of implemented browsing model and digital tool is enhancing research of Zadar Glagolitics. This study will present a basis for implementing existing or developing special digital tool(s) for browsing the digital collections of Zadar Glagolitics.
