Greg noted:
David Widger reminded me that we actually have an FAQ posted about page scans:
http://www.gutenberg.org/faq/S-21
It's comparable to the note I forwarded from Jim, with some variation in point #4.
Marcello's method is certainly fine by me. Ditto for BB's. Other variations welcome. To get this into the workflow (from DP & elsewhere), we'll want to standardize a bit more, but right now I'll be happier getting some more hands-on experience with the workflow, and feedback.
At this point, let's try to get a few dozen done, in a few different ways, and take a look at accessibility/utility. There was lots and lots of discussion about this back in 2004, but we've only done a few.
I think it wise that we talk with the Open Content Alliance folk (e.g., Brewster Kahle) and get feedback on what they are doing with regards to file naming/organization conventions for book scan sets. Based on looking at their plans, they appear to want to develop standards in all areas of content digitization. (Content to them goes beyond just textual publications, and includes audio, video, etc. -- they are interested in total integration of all types of content repositories.) IMHO, it is best if both PG/DP align its practices as best as practicable with OCA-developed standards and conventions. I urge Greg and Michael to approach Brewster and ask to participate in the relevant committees being established to hammer out digitization standards. Jon Noring
