Designing the Repository of Documentary Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Digitization of communication processes generates the need to design repositories of documentary cultural heritage, providing an open access to historical artifacts. The process of forming repositories is to combine information resources, which is carried out to meet qualitatively the information users’ needs. To preserve such large arrays of information resources, the authors have proposed an information technology based on the creation of data warehouses where the resources of social memory institutions are consolidated. The problem of certification of electronic data warehouses, which is currently carried out by CoreTrustSeal, is analyzed and the requirements for the design of such data warehouses are determined. A prototype of an information technology platform for a repository of documentary cultural heritage is proposed.
