Developing Tsinghua University Architecture Digital Library for Chinese Architecture Study and University Education

摘要

The Tsinghua University Architecture Digital Library (THADL) has been developed as a prototype system with dual goals - to study the key techniques of digital libraries (DLs), and to provide rich, valuable resources for Chinese architecture research and education as well as a high level of service. This paper focuses on the following issues: 1) the novel architecture of THADL and its implementation; 2) the metadata specification--THADL Metadata 2.0; 3) the OAI PMH v2.0 implementation to make THADL interoperable with other digital resources; 4) the Web-based courseware environment for students majoring in architecture science; and 5) the personalized active service subsystem -- TH-PASS.
