Library Platform

what? (250)

how will it be made? (125)

why is it necessary? (125)

Relation to project as whole (how does it interface with the rest of the PZI library project)

Relation to your self-directed research (how does it interface with previous work or abiding interests? what new interests are you following?)


  • Interface for Interfaces
  • building the Infrastructure of the library
  • Application programming interface
  • different access points to the library
    • interested in how the library opens up to the public

Ideas & Thoughts

required

(sorted by relevance)

  • view books in library
  • upload new books (might also work via scp)
  • sort books (categorize, tag, edit metadata, description, ISBN)
  • search (interface)
  • users (access how and who?)

framework

  • Pi

library as physical object

  • how can we put the PI into space?
  • with display / connected to coffee machine?
  • physical presence also as a reminder -> maintenance


ideas

  • make pdfs available to everyone in local network
  • make structure available to www (tunnel)
  • distributed library (multiple persons have parts of the library)

PDF Reader / Editor in Web

  • Possibilites to edit and view Pdfs in browser
  • access PDFs in terms of search / preview
  • View / Edit without »downloading«
  • https://web.hypothes.is/ for web annotation


Decisions

Using a pi with webinterface Catalog is available online, while files are stored offline and only accessible via the local network. python dictonary -> use shelve python -> API with python
