Current Condition
Few new books at libraries. Few journals subscription. So that, libraries unable to provide
good information resources. Internet access ? Java island is information rich
(enough) compared to other islands.
6
Motivation
By bridging people (from digital & space divide) and utilizing the LOCAL KNOWLEDGE,
Indonesian people will able to improve their literacy.
7
Problems
Their knowledge is locked Digital and space divide Telecommunication infrastructure is
very limited and expensive Computer literacy is low
Inhabitants: 210 million

Mission
Unlock !
Unlock ACCESS to the Indonesian knowledge
What we need?
We need SOLUTION. Not state of the art of technology, but a Regional Technology.
Able to run on narrow bandwidth and unreliable connections.
Familiar User Interface. Attract individual and institution
(knowledge producers) to share knowledge.
Ease and cheap of implementation and integration.
Strategies (Society)
Establish a community (IndonesiaDLN) of knowledge sharing
Type of partner: Institution, Individual, and Internet Café.
Promote sub-networks: I.e. health, agriculture, human rights, etc.
Bottom-up approach License: GPL it !
Strategies (Technical)
Networked: through a national networked digital library
Distributed: every institutions can manage their own digital library system
Unified: all knowledge will be unified Disseminated: all knowledge will be
disseminated (mirrored), bring information near to the users.
Standardized: using international acknowledged metadata standard (Dublin Core)
What we share?
Information: abstract and full content of the LOCAL CONTENT.
Including: Research report Final Project, Theses, Dissertation Article, paper, proceeding, journal E-book, e-learning material, course material Clipping, Heritage, Multimedia, expertise
directory, etc. In the form of: document, audio, image,
and video files.

Activities
Develop Software (technical): Ganesha Digital Library (GDL)
Establish Community (society): The Indonesian Digital Library Network
(IndonesiaDLN)
14
Ganesha Digital Library
Web-based application Client-server (GDL Network) Open-source/free software Edition:
Personal Internet café Institution
Architecture of the Network
Key:-Standard Metadata-Protocol
There are a hub and many digital library servers.
IndonesiaDLN Interoperability Metadata Std. Objective: to manage electronic
resources (documents, audio, video files) on the Internet among the digital library networks.
Dublin Core Metadata Element Sets Simple, multipurpose Widely used
IndonesiaDLN Interoperability Metadata Std was derived from NDLTD Metadata Std (also based on Dublin Core).
Example: Metadata in XMLMetadata is formatted into XML before exchanged among the digital library servers.
All digital library servers in IndonesiaDLN should use the IndonesiaDLN Interoperability Metadata Standard. Currently is version 1.1.
18
Metadata storage
Metadata is stored in database. XML is used only for
synchronization.
Identifier
Every metadata will be recognized from its IDENTIFIER.
Identifier is unique within IndonesiaDLN. It contains the following information:
Publisher ID Digital Library Network ID Type of the electronic resources Year of creation Creator Record number, and Content theme
Example of Identifier
jbpeismail-gdl-res-2001-ismail-11-idrc
Publisher IDDigital Library Network IDType of the electronic resourcesYear of creationCreatorRecord number, andContent theme
Benefit: Entering URL containing the identifier to any digital library servers will show the same metadata content.Example:
http://digilib.xxx.xxx/go.php?id= jbpeismail-gdl-res-2001-ismail-11-idrc
21
The Synchronization Protocol
Items to be synchronized: Metadata Files (optional) Publisher information Membership information
The Synchronization Services (1/2) Using the services of:
HTTP (operational) Real time transaction Good for reliable connection
Post office :-) Burned into CD-ROM Takes days or weeks Good for no internet connection at all
Protocol: Currently using IndonesiaDLN specific protocol, which is similar with the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) Protocol.
The Synchronization Services (2/2)
Data ProviderLOCAL

PUT protocolrequests:- PutMetadata- ListMyIdentifiers- DeleteMetadata- PutFileFragment- MergeFileFragment- PutMembers
GET protocolrequests:- ListIdentifiers- GetMetadata- GetPublishers
AUTHENTICATIONprotocol requests:- Connect- Disconnect- GetMemberInfo
authentication
Metadata are:- sent from LOCAL to HUB server and,- downloaded from HUB to LOCAL server,
through the synchronization services.
Optionally, the files also can be sent from LOCAL to HUB.
There are 3 groups of requests: Authentication, PUT, and GET.

OAI: The Networking Protocol
IndonesiaDLN will adopt the OAI (Open Archives Initiatives) protocol / concept.
Further integration with other international digital library network.
39
Current activities:
Develop the sub-networks: Indonesian Human Rights Information
System Indonesian Agriculture Information
Network (this will reach the farmers needs, not only the researchers)
Indonesian Heritage Network Indonesian Bibliographic Network
40
International Collaboration
GDL has been successfully installed at an NGO in Pakistan (contact [email protected])
Digital Library Network among Indonesia-Malaysia (Penang Library Network, USM) is being discussed.

You can help developing countries!
Open access to your digital libraries for the 3rd world.
Use the OAI protocol and standard metadata (Dublin Core-based)
Knowledge will be: Shared And exchanged
44
Summaries
GDL has proved its abilities to integrate digital library network in Indonesia.
Able to run on dedicated, dial-up, and behind proxy internet connection.
IndonesiaDLN is a bottom-up approach community that grows very fast.
IndonesiaDLN will become a network of networks.
Possible integration with other international digital library network (using Dublin Core metadata standard).
