Project Information - Max Planck eDocument Server

 

Contact: Gerhard Beier
(Project Management)

With the "Max Planck eDocument Server" the ZIM offers Max Planck Institutes a platform to capture their intellectual output in digital form and to expose it through the World Wide Web to a worldwide audience. Implementing internationally recognized, open metadata standards and interfaces we aim to integrate this institutional digital archive carefully into a worldwide distributed network of scholarly digital collections and thus to increase the visibility of information resulting from research conducted at Max Planck Institutes. While the technical infrastructure and standards determination are provided centrally, the individual collections are managed locally by the participating Institutes.
