Processing
After the content has been supplied, a number of quality and integrity checks will take place. These checks will focus on the quality of the images (carried out by quality managers), the validity of the XML files, the accuracy of the metadata content and the correct correlation between the different files. These checks will be partly automated and in part completed manually. Random samples will be taken for the manual checks. The KB has developed a special application to support these checking activities. Market research (pdf) carried out in May-June 2007 revealed that various companies have developed systems for quality control on the web. This offers the client the possibility of following and checking the production process on-line. During the project some checks will be made via the Internet and some following delivery at the KB.
Besides quality controls, conversions are carried out during the processing phase to incorporate the files into the data infrastructure of the KB. This includes the conversion to Dublin Core, MPEG21 DIDL and the standards used for the e-Depot.
