Data rendered accessible in Manuscriptorium via the internet is usually adapted to the technical requirements of the internet and is usually derived from primary data. Manuscriptorium’s mission is to guarantee secure and reliable preservation of information for the future. For data created under the Czech Republic’s VISK6 project, particular attention was devoted to this requirement. Data created with appropriate care and guarantees is marked accordingly in Manuscriptorium.
The vital criteria to be met before data is awarded this mark of recognition in Manuscriptorium are described in Manuscriptorium Quality: Compatibility of image data quality: definition and commentary (PDF).
In practice, however, it is not always possible to guarantee optimal conditions for the creation of data. For this reason data not meeting these quality criteria may also be incorporated in Manuscriptorium. The National Library of the Czech Republic reserves the right to make decisions about the incorporation of data not meeting the quality criteria.
