Biblio-graph Publish is a way to make a book in the browser. It is a tool developed by Archival Consciousness in collaboration with Framer Framed to create hybrid books, books that can be a web page, made and distributed as a url, a pdf for online reading and distribution, or a high res pdf for offset printing hardcopy. It can be exported as a dataset, and linked open data.

Our aim is to rethink the modes of production when it comes to book editing and design and to be able to store and archive new books in the best ways possible. This is a first release beta version of Publish, and we would love to hear from you. What works, what doesn't work, what is missing more. Any feedback will help us to continue developing this application. This version has the bare minimum functionalities. 

Books can be created from scratch, but it is an equally smooth experience to drop a text that has previously been written and formatted with headers in a text editor of your choice.

Biblio-Graph

  • Biblio-graph is an application intended for cultural libraries. It works as a tool to create a digital representation of fragments of their physical collections.

  • It is a community sourced environment for data aggregation, mapping and visualisation of the collection.

  • Biblio-graph works as an interaction layer, consisting of a semantic layer and a graph database that sits on top of the existing databases of libraries.

  • Through Biblio-graph readers, researchers and staff will be able to interfere, manipulate, share and reuse data without affecting the original database.

Archival Consciousness was initiated by artist Mariana Lanari and graphic designer Remco van Bladel to collaborate with libraries and archives in cultural institutions. We work in close collaboration with archivists to implement methods and infrastructure to turn their collections into data. We are interested in the long term preservation and dissemination of physical archives, in connection with the digital archive. The digital component of archives, their databases, are the starting point of our work. We are developing a shared and community driven graph that acts as an interaction layer on top of the existing databases of libraries and archives. In this way, we bring linked-data aggregation to the application layer to facilitate discovery, browsing, and navigation through explorative features of graph algorithms.
