Network of University Coin Collections in Germany - NUMiD
Project leader: Susanne Kandler
Project manager: Angela Kugler-Kießling
Project partner: Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin
Funding period : 08.2017 - 03.2020
Term: 08.2017 -
Funded by: BMBF
Project description
Since 14 August 2017, the University Library has been actively involved in the research and digitisation project "NUMiD - Minting History / Preserving Values" to establish a Digital Coin Cabinet for Germany.
The holdings of the numismatic collection of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg will be digitised and integrated into the portal in the course of next year. The hardware and software required for this will be made available via the project.
On Degree of this project, the first of the almost 40 university collections of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg will not only be digitised, but will also be accessible worldwide via a specialist network.
Challenge
- Overcoming the limited added value of isolated data solutions
- Integrating the local collection into the global research landscape
Goal
- Digital Coin Cabinet
- Common presentation of university collections in Germany
Enrichment of metadata and implementation of APIs in OPAL
Project manager: Susanne Kandler
Project manager: Oliver Löwe
Project partner: BPS Bildungsportal Sachsen GmbH
Project duration: 01.10.2017 - 31.12.2018
Project description
In the context of a SMWK tender, Freiberg University Library, together with BPS Bildungsportal Sachsen GmbH, would like to enrich OPAL objects with additional metadata and make them available to external systems via interfaces to be implemented. The focus here is on OER materials.
LMS OPAL currently exists independently of the university's central knowledge and information portal, the library catalogue. OPAL already stores relevant content for science and teaching, but especially with the perspective strengthening of OER content, which currently does not appear in the university library catalogue.
Challenges
- Heterogeneity of OPAL materials
- Automatic enrichment with metadata
- Data management
Goal
- Opening up OPAL for external research systems and repositories
- Enrichment of OPALelements with metadata
- Increasing the hit quality of searches
- Increasing the visibility of OER
- Consolidating the library catalogue as a central knowledge entry point
Digitisation and structuring of manuscripts and prints from the old scientific collection
Project leader: Susanne Kandler

Challenges
- Provision and structuring of the materials
- Presentation in an appealing and user-friendly front end
- Distribution of the metadata to the German Digital Library (DDB) and Europeana
Goal
- Increasing the visibility of objects relevant to mining science
- Increasing the visibility of objects relevant to mining science
