Image digitization
The complete set of volumes of the »Polytechnische Journal« will be chronologically digitized by a scan-robot at SLUB Dresden. Since we'll provide ongoing publishing of the digitized sources via Dingler-Online we guarantee an up to date documentation of the digitization progress.

Text digitization
Text digitization and (semi-)automatic encoding is executed by Editura GmbH, an experienced service provider for digitization. The OCRed text is encoded and enriched according to the TEI-P5 guidelines. This step includes ›tagging‹ the structure and special attributes of the text. The hence enabled presentation of the full text goes far beyond solely storing the text next to the image.

Scientifical editing
After (semi-)automatic encoding we'll proceed with enriching the code (per ›tag‹) with extra infomation based on certain user-settings. The project aims at offering a comfortable high-quality database to which access is free of charge. Hence we'll be able to offer certain opportunies of researching the material which go far beyond the solely analogue text. This means a real scientific surplus.
Presentation system
With the so called Goobi Digitization Suite — a software solution of the latest generation funded by the DFG and developed by the SLUB Dresden we'll be using the newest technologies on the market. On the one hand we’ll be enabled to grab the editors’ spirit of collecting literally polytechnical works and on the other hand we can provide a very comfortable access to the articles.
