| Abstract: | E-repositories are part of the e-science, and they are based on the e-infrastructure. The Centre de Supercomputació de Catalunya
(CESCA) together with the Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC) started in 1999 a cooperative repository, named TDR, to file, in digital format, the full-text of the read thesis at the universities of our country in order to spread them worldwide in open access, while at the same time, preserving the intellectual copyright of the authors. Since then, four additional cooperative repositories have been created: RECERCAT for
research papers; RACO for scientific, cultural and erudite Catalan magazines;
MDC for Catalan digital collections of pictures, maps, posters and old magazines; and PADICAT for archiving Catalan digital web content; The main objective of the latter is to archive Catalan web sites. That is, PADICAT collects, processes and provides permanent access to the entire cultural, scientific and general output of Catalonia in digital format. The repository manager is the Biblioteca de Catalunya, as the institution responsible for compiling, processing and distributing the bibliographic heritage
of Catalonia, while CESCA is the technology partner.
On September 11th, 2006 the repository went into operation for the general
public, with some thirty websites archived. After one year and a half, it
has 2.720 captures of more than 1.000 websites. This includes 34 million
files (HTML, images...) and two terabytes of data.
The objective of this paper is to present PADICAT and our experience developing
and managing it.We describe the repository briefly, we explain the technology used to implement it and we comment our experiences during its first year and a half. |
