Caltech CODA
• Collection of Open Digital Archives: CODA

Minimal Start-up
• Dedicate an IT applications developer– Minimum 40% time commitment
• Librarian– Minimum 15% time commitment
• Find an initial development platform– Old workstation with a 10GB disk will do
• Use Open Source software– Install Linux with standard applications– Install E-Print software

Tools Developed
Author permission form Repository policy document Conversion process from print to digital
.ps, .pdf production OCR
Unique digital identifier caltechCSTR:2000.001
Persistent resolver mechanism resolver.caltech.edu/[Identifier]

The E-Prints Choice
• Why in 2000?– No cost to acquire– Open source– Very functional to purpose of open access
• Why still in 2003?– Centered around metadata– Generic application of LAMP– Low barriers
![Page 8: Creating a Digital Repository: The Caltech Experience Kimberly Douglas and Ed Sponsler DASER Summit November 22, 2003 Caltech Library System library@caltech.edu.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5514cad755034640138b5d82/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Caltech’s Implementation
• Design– Multiple instances
• Different policies and authority• Different presentation objectives/needs
– Unique identifier in URL for persistent resolution– Standardized to streamline implementation
• Staffing– Subject librarians oversee metadata
• Content– Convert from print to create critical mass– Individual recruitment and nurturing– Pdf primarily– Archive original source format where possible
