Description
As part of the DH Coordination Office of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts (AWK NRW), the CCeH is developing an object database for image management for the Bonn office of the cross-academy project “German Inscriptions of the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period” (http://www.inschriften.net/projekt.html). The database is used for the scientific indexing of the constantly growing stock of images as scientific working material and offers the possibility of inventorying, securing and archiving them. It allows for the systematic recording of metadata on inscription bearers, inscriptions and photographs, offers comprehensive research options and enables the integration of the research data produced into the wider epigraphic and historical research context through extensive options for data reconciliation with external knowledge and standard databases.
