Buying entity๐ฉ๐ฐ The State and University Library Buying unitnot reported Publication date2013-03-19 Contest statusnot reported DescriptionThe contract that has been offered for tender concerns the task of digitizing approximately 32 million newspaper pages from microfilm on reels. The contract covers scanning microfilmed newspapers from the State and University Library's original negative film with the aim of creating a digital version for long-term storage. Simultaneously and subsequent to scanning, metadata must be captured and produced. An element of post-treatment is the splitting of multi-page spreads into single pages. The final product must be an image file in JPEG 2000 for each page of the newspaper and a number of related xml files in further specified formats. The files are to be delivered on an ongoing basis, and a significant part of the task is to plan a workflow that meets the State and University Library's requirements as regards quantity, quality and quality assurance. As part of quality assurance, the Supplier must place a workflow management system at the disposal of the State and University Library. During the operational phase the Supplier must supply quality-assured images and metadata from an average of 50,000 newspaper pages every day. The contract therefore has considerable focus on a successful clarification phase and an extensive pilot phase. As an important element of the contract, the Supplier must establish a cooperation organization which can deal with the challenges that arise on an ongoing basis without this affecting overall production. The contract also contains a number of options, cf. II.2.2. The State and University Library retains all rights to media, data and metadata. Note: The newspaper content may be offensive in certain cultures. The contracted work must be completed within 3 years.Awards
