Qulto Repo is a publishing repository based on the open source DSpace 8 software, which has gained popularity in recent years, especially among public education and public collections institutions. Its popularity has been mainly due to its relative ease of use, customisability and operability.

Repository implementations aim at providing a repository for uploaded media (text documents, images, videos, audio files – mainly non-proprietary content). The service platform is usually the open access catalogue of the public collection (OPAC3). If required, some repositories can be used independently (e.g. DSpace, EPrints), as well. With this module, your institution can manage its digital content with ease. All content can be associated with standard descriptive elements that facilitate searchability and ensure interoperability between different systems. Our solution also supports full-text indexing and search to ensure maximum accessibility and searchability.

In addition to the basic DSpace digital object repository functionality, Qulto Repo has add-ons such as media playback implemented by Qulto developers, record cloning and movement between collections, and Qulto Annotate for group annotation and tagging of PDF documents.

Main features:

hierarchical management of collections
hierarchical record management
multi-level authority management
creation of custom forms
OAI-PMH output and REST API
media upload, and storage
serving uploaded content to public catalogs
display metadata from catalogs

Qulto Digitize is a mass digitisation framework that provides solution for public collections, the general public and individual users as well for collaborative processing, grouping and repository management of text and image content. The main advantage of the framework is that it eliminates the need for both the use of other software and applications, and the cumbersome movement of files to be processed. Besides, it enables multi-user workflows.

Our module allows you to create, register, manage and share digital assets and their associated metadata with broad range of audiences. Furthermore, it also provides secure storage of master files, creation of on-demand converted versions, optical character recognition (OCR), watermarking and digital rights management (DRM) of files.

We support the digitisation of books, journals and analogue copies with workflows that make the collaborative work of consortium members transparent. Our system also provides a tool to manage the division of labour and the sharing of income and costs. Digitize is able to export and import METS-compliant digital objects and their metadata; we support digitisation processes with character recognition software; and detailed digitisation allows users to create independent e-documents from pieces of complete works. We can also record legal information and provide digital protection (DRM) for the works. Our system includes native, master and original files, the latter being generated automatically.

Groups of people working with digital objects – let them be university work groups, teachers, e-learning professionals or researcher – need an online platform where they can work on packages of files together in a way that will require them to move those files as infrequently as possible.

Main features

Organize your files into packages
Structure your packages into folders and sub-folders
Search and filter your packages
OCR images and PDFs
Proofread and edit OCR results
Transcribe handwritten documents
Create searchable PDFs
Generate thumbnail images
Put watermarks on your images
Resize and crop your images
Add metadata to your package

The Q360 application is a spherical panoramic virtual exhibition and walk through in a web environment with a responsive design. By creating 360 degree spherical panoramic virtual exhibitions and virtuals walks, you can digitally create or archive exhibition spaces. Using marker points placed on spherical panoramic images, you can place details from the real space in the virtual space and even complete it with additional, extra information. This way we can tell and show more about the objects than we could in a simple physical space.

Interfaces

In the administration interface of the application, it is possible to create virtual exhibitions and to define spherical panoramic images, so-called scenes, in these exhibitions without any additional help. Marker points placed on the scenes can be used both to transfer knowledge, information, and to navigate between scenes within the virtual exhibition.

The visitor interface is the main element of the application, where visitors can view a virtual exhibition. Here, it is possible to navigate between the scenes (i.e. spherical panoramic images) of the virtual exhibition, and by clicking on marker points to view the textual and visual information assigned to the scenes. A spherical panoramic image of a scene can also be viewed using VR glasses (Oculus Rift). For instance, a museum with several rooms can be presented in such a way that each room is a separate scene, but for larger rooms, multiple scenes can be defined as well. The visual information displayed in the scenes is not bound to physical space.

Main features:

Administration interface:

creating virtual tours/exhibitions
creating scenes from spherical panoramic photos or graphic content
arbitrary placement of marker points (navigation, multiple information points)
uploading of related content: text description, media content, YouTube and Sketchfab embedding, embedding of museum educational content (e.g. Wordwall)

Visitor interface:

gain insight into the details of a building/exhibition/visual space and learn from the content (description, visual supplements, media) placed on marker points

What to use it for?

presenting indoor and outdoor spaces, or even virtually imagined spaces with the help of a graphic designer, without the need for any developer intervention
the archived exhibition content can also be related repository documentation, thus enhancing the quality of the public collection records

Cloud service

Qulto Attract components are offered as a cloud service, installed on the servers of Qulto. The service includes server hosting (monitoring, backup), hosting and software usage.

Applications are web-based, running in a standard browser, with responsive design. The administration interfaces is also accessible from the browser.

In case of termination of the contract, the content created by the customer will be made available in a viewable format, without any additional charge. This will not include interaction elements offered by the application and the possibility of navigating between the pages.

Hardware requirements

The applications are run as cloud services, and our company takes care of the storage and serving of data, and of the operation of server-side programs. To answer technical questions and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise, our company operates a support service. The visitor interfaces are browser-based and, thus can be accessed from a variety of workstations and mobile devices. The use of Q360 is independent of any collection management system used by the institution.

Training

On-line consultation is included as part of the purchase for all applications. The administrator interfaces are simple, easy to use, and working with them does not require any preliminary training or IT skills other than the ones used for everyday work.

#learn differently #it is fun to learn #using public collections #digital museum pedagogy #interactive education #digital education packages

Education is a software component supporting the creation and use of interactive educational packages. This software primarily provides assistance to teachers and lecturers working in the public education sector and public collection institutions, though it is effectively applicable in other fields, as well. The module provides a playful learning experience in school, library and museum settings where public collections have the chance to reuse cultural assets and registered data. Consequently, lecturers can reach reach out to their school-age audiences both on new platforms and in novel ways, i.e. they can use the recently popular electronic devices preferred by their students to raise interest in a given subject through combining online and offline education materials.

Users can work with records from external and internal data sources, textual material and media content to create teaching materials for educational packages. The exercises – quizzes, timelines, word searches, puzzles – and information in the educational materials allow students to interactively explore a topic – let it be the history of a castle, a well-known poet’s ballads, or science questions.

In the editor interface, the teacher collects resources – even directly from public collection databases – for the presentation of the curriculum in an educational package, compiles tasks (e.g. word search, timeline, puzzle, quiz, and embedded content), and creates a series of tasks from the resources. The published exercises are enriched with subject headings and published online, thus becoming browseable and accessible to anyone. Each task encourages students to interact.

Main features:

producing educational packages
internal, external and in-house resources can be brought together in one place to build different exercises
it is integrated with HunTéka/Corvina systems, which makes is possible to take work with so-called internal resources taken from the collection (these resources are important metadata and associated media of a record)
user-friendly web interface

Pros:

offers a solution to the digital challenges of formal and informal education
provides an exra toolkit for educators
supports the process of authentic content creation
lenables the reuse of digital content
encourages collaboration between educational and public collection stakeholders

Library and museum pedagogy

The Education platform is the perfect solution as a digital tool for library, archive and museum education programmes accompanying exhibitions. It makes it easy to create public exercises and teaching materials linked with subject headings that can be used in the classroom. These exercises can be used by participants on their own devices, and by being published via links they become accessible to remote users (schools), as well.

Cloud service

Qulto Attract components are offered as a cloud service, installed on the servers of Qulto. The service includes server hosting (monitoring, backup), hosting and software usage.

Applications are web-based, running in a standard browser, with responsive design. The administration interfaces is also accessible from the browser.

To answer technical questions and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise, our company operates a support service. The visitor interfaces are browser-based and, thus can be accessed from a variety of workstations and mobile devices. The use of Education is dependent on the introduction of the Qulto integrated collection management system (Qulto Library, Qulto Museum or Qulto Archive) by the institution.

storytelling_kepernyo_06

With Storytelling, we aim to provide a modern digital tool for communicating cultural values and knowledge held in public collections.

Both editing and user reception of content are facilitated by an online application running in a traditional web browser. The digital story created on this platform is an exhibition material on a specific theme, compiled from the museums’ collection items and other content, presented in digital form on a web interface, where the museum curator can build up the exhibition material and edit its way of presentation to the public with the help of a dedicated administration interface.

The focus of Storytelling is on the visual representation of the topic to be presented, a knowledge map (topology) is created during editing. This visual representation of the story is available on the visitor interface, both helping to understand the concept/story as well as to navigate within the narrative.

It breaks with the tradition of linear storytelling, providing the possibility to implement other structures (parallel stories, concept of chamber exhibition, optional routes).

Main features

knowledge map based editing and visualisation
multiple navigation elements in the visitor interface
several topology and slide templates
text and media content placement
mobile-dedicated view

What to use it for?

can serve as a complete, independent digital exhibition related to a prominent anniversary or important event, without having to create a physical exhibit
marketing element
to complement physical exhibitions with digital content, as well as to apply it as a digital visitor guide

Discovery

Posted on: February 7th, 2022 by akovacstapai

A product that supports the professional work of libraries and higher education institutions, and can be used to effectively support the search activities of readers, students, teachers and researchers.

Do you need a solution for searching a common index of multiple data sources (catalogs, repositories, online databases, etc.)? Discovery provides a common online interface to search library catalogs, full-text repository content, research data, online articles, e-publications and eLearning materials. The Discovery catalog can be customised in the same way as public collections’ own catalogs, i.e. results from multiple sources are organised into a common list of results based on common relevance, which can be sorted and filtered together.

The information search facilities are complemented by patron features (e.g. renewals, reservations, etc.) and a researcher dashboard (subject tracking, bibliographic lists, and so on).

ReCatalog

Posted on: February 2nd, 2022 by akovacstapai

ReCatalog performs semantic validation and processing of MARC records stored in library catalogs. During semantic processing, the most important entities (works, contributors, forms of expression, etc.) in the bibliographic description are identified, and the relationships between them are stored in triplets in a common central semantic grid, which can later become the basis for value-added services such as Discovery catalog or cultural touristic applications.

Main features

Semantic validation and processing of MARC records (identification of works, forms of expression)
conversion of MARC records into triplets
graphical data visualisation
ontology-based form for semantic mesh construction
MARC validation
web-based MARC editing interface

Qulto Library

Posted on: January 31st, 2022 by akovacstapai

The Qulto Library system was developed jointly with MTA SZTAKI from 2002-2010, and from 2011 we became its exclusive developer and distributor. We continuously incorporate user feedback, ideas and needs into the latest versions of the software. As a significant professional recognition, Qulto Library was the only Hungarian library system to receive a product award two years in a row, in 2007 and 2008. Qulto Library is primarily designed to meet the complex needs of medium and large libraries, but is also suitable to serve smaller institutional or rural libraries.

With Qulto, public collections or even private collections can manage their printed and electronic collections in an integrated library system. The system allows for accurate tracking and management of due loans (patron loans) and includes a number of additional features.

Main features:

Media module

Images, audio and video files and text documents can be attached to bibliographic and authority records, too. They appear both on the administrator and OPAC interface.

Reports

With our statistical module, which works as an individual subsystem, information supporting management decisions and data about the utilization of inventory or the use of services are also available, besides the required statistical data. The scope of information queried in the report module can be freely extended with data stored in the database by configuration modifications.

Quality management reports

Drawing up a report of proper quality with appropriate content is not only a legal obligation, but also the basis of increasing efficiency. These reports are essential for fulfilling quality assurance tasks. The reports obtainable from the system provide up-to-date inventory. We prepare the reports with extensive consideration of the documentation and reporting obligations.

Aspects of the Long-Term Preservation of Digitized Catalogue Data: Analysis of the Databases of Integrated Collection Management Systems

The Preservation, Digital Technology & Culture (PDT&C) international journal’s latest publication offers the scientific analysis of András Simon, our colleague and his co-author, Péter Kiszl.

Abstract of the article

During this research, the catalogues of more than 200 libraries and museums of Hungary and its neighboring countries were examined. The authors calculated the amount and the size of the metadata and of the full content records in the databases of their collection management systems, as well as the size and the type of the full content data and the size of the databases. By analyzing the results, the goal was to answer the following three questions: (1) Can any significant difference be established between the results according to country, nationality, or type of institution?; (2) How large is a metadata record or a full content record?; (3) Is it possible to establish a methodology for selecting a representative sample of institutions to facilitate further research? For planning the costs of data management, the size of the databases, the number of metadata records, and the variability of metadata and media records shall all be considered. A distinction should be made between the indispensable “primary” data to be preserved for a long time, and the “secondary” data units which are derived from the primary data. It is investigated in this article how to establish the size of primary data in the databases of collection management systems.

The main concept of the game is to teach and distribute knowledge related to local history and culture. Your mobile device shows a map on which certain areas have to be seized by giving correct answers to the culture related questions. Visiting the given area increases your chances while playing the game as the questions cover the local sights – famous buildings or statues. Also, aid is given in the form of descriptions, fun-facts and images, and your performance can be shared on Facebook in the end. The GPS data of your mobile’s location enable the system to determine about which area the questions should be about. Also, small tags on the map that mark the sights included in the game serve you as an exciting and „smart” guide in the city.
