Access Restriction |
- |
The metadata section of DACHS is open to everyone. Access to the documents
and resources themselves is restricted to password owners. To apply
for a password (free of charge) please inform the
DACHS staff about your
research purpose and institutional affiliation. Students at the University of Heidelberg can have their URZ-password registered for DACHS access.

Table of Contents |
- |
The index provides
access to the resources of DACHS through a basic classification
system, making use of certain keywords in the files' URL.
These keywords are reflecting either nature (i.e. discussion
boards, documents, films etc.) or topic (i.e. culture, economy,
politics etc.) of a file. They are listed as life links,
delivering the corresponding metadata records from the OPAC,
from where direct access to the material is possible. |
|
Metadata Search |
- |
This search method
provides standardised information on title, personal names,
subject, source, language etc. of our documents. Depending
on the complexity of the resource, metadata sets are created
either for single files, such as in the case of single documents,
or one record for whole Web sites, discussion boards or
newspapers. |
|
Fulltext Search |
- |
We are currently
searching for a fulltext search engine, able to index documents
in different encodings (GB, Big5, Unicode etc.) and file
formats (html, MS Word, and pdf etc.), that won't blast
out budget. We would be grateful for any
comments or information to solve this problem. |
