Tackling Innovation

From Content to Objects structure - articles, collected in volumes, issues, topics, series, supplementary material etc.

digital objects “folder objects” e.g. journal, container

“content-holder objects” e.g. article, data-container

“content objects” e.g. xml, pdf, html, multimedia

“specification objects” e.g. “oai:SetDDC004” for OAI-PMH

content - text, bitmap/vector graphics, movies, applets

relationships: extensive use of resource index

DiPP Content Model #1

DiPP Content Model #2

Metadata for journal & article objects
