Library Automation and Digital Libraries Questions and Answers

Q: The linked data is built upon the standard web technologies such as ................... .(i) HTTP(ii) RDF(iii) URI(iv) FTPCodes :

Linked data is built on (i) HTTP, (ii) RDF and (iii) URI.Tim Berners-Lee's linked data principles are: use URIs to name things, use HTTP URIs so that they can be looked up, provide useful information about them in standards such as RDF (and SPARQL), and include links to other URIs. So HTTP, RDF and URIs are its building blocks.FTP, the file transfer protocol, is not part of the linked data stack, so codes including (iv) are wrong.

Q: Assertion (A) : New Genlib is a freely available software.Reason (R) : New Genlib can be customized depending on the requirement of libraries.Codes :

Both (A) and (R) are true.NewGenLib, an integrated library management system developed by Verus Solutions with the Kesoju Sanskriti Foundation in India, was released as free and open source software in 2008, so it is freely available.Because it is open source, libraries can modify and customise it to suit their requirements, so the reason is also true. The key asks only whether both statements hold.

Q: Who developed a Library Software Package "Maitrayee" ?

The answer is CALIBNET.Maitrayee was the library software developed for CALIBNET, the Calcutta Library Network, in collaboration with CMC Ltd, to run the network's shared catalogue and services on a relational database.The other networks are associated with different software: INFLIBNET developed SOUL for university libraries, DELNET runs its own union catalogue services in Delhi, and BONET, the Bombay Library Network, is not the developer of Maitrayee.

Q: DESIDOC has developed ........... Library Automation Software.

DESIDOC developed Sanjay.SANJAY is a library automation package developed by the Defence Scientific Information and Documentation Centre (DESIDOC), Delhi, as an extension of UNESCO's CDS/ISIS, for use in Indian libraries.e-Granthalaya was developed by the National Informatics Centre for government libraries, SOUL (Software for University Libraries) by INFLIBNET, and SLIM by Algorhythms, a private company in Pune. None of these is a DESIDOC product.

Q: Who developed (OAIS) Open Archival Information System) ?

OAIS was developed by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems.The Open Archival Information System reference model was developed by the CCSDS, a body of the world's space agencies, which needed to preserve mission data for the long term. It was published as a recommendation in 2002 and adopted as the international standard ISO 14721. It is now the basic model for digital preservation archives in libraries too.It was not developed by MIT or by an IFLA committee; MIT is known for the DSpace repository software, which follows OAIS concepts but did not create them.

Q: Characteristics of linked open data .............(i) Are released under an open license(ii) Does impede its reuse for free(iii) Are released under restricted license(iv) Does not impede its reuse for free

Characteristics i and iv apply, so the answer is (i) and (iv) are correct.Linked open data is linked data that is published under an open licence (i), which means the licence does not impede its free reuse (iv). Tim Berners-Lee's five-star scheme for open data starts from exactly this requirement.Statements ii and iii describe the opposite: data released under a restricted licence, whose free reuse is impeded, is not open. Every option containing ii or iii is wrong.

OSS offers the following softwares using cloud computing :

(i) Koha
(ii) Ex-Libris
(iii) D-Space
(iv) Greenstone

Codes :

A.(i) and (ii) are correct
B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
C.(i) and (iii) are correct
D.(ii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: C

The open source software offered through cloud computing is (i) Koha and (iii) D-Space.

Koha, the open source integrated library system, and DSpace, the open source repository platform, are both offered as cloud-hosted services by vendors and service providers (for example DSpaceDirect and hosted Koha), so libraries can use them without running their own servers.

Ex Libris is a commercial company whose products, such as Alma, are proprietary, not open source, so codes including (ii) are wrong; the key does not count Greenstone among these.

Assertion (A) : New Genlib is a freely available software.
Reason (R) : New Genlib can be customized depending on the requirement of libraries.

Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true
B.Both (A) and (R) are false
C.(A) is true but (R) is false
D.(A) is false but (R) is true

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,

Answer: A

Both (A) and (R) are true.

NewGenLib, an integrated library management system developed by Verus Solutions with the Kesoju Sanskriti Foundation in India, was released as free and open source software in 2008, so it is freely available.

Because it is open source, libraries can modify and customise it to suit their requirements, so the reason is also true. The key asks only whether both statements hold.

B.MIT university
C.IFLA committee on standards
D.IFLA linked data sub-committee

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2023, SET Exam - 2023,

OAIS was developed by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems.

The Open Archival Information System reference model was developed by the CCSDS, a body of the world's space agencies, which needed to preserve mission data for the long term. It was published as a recommendation in 2002 and adopted as the international standard ISO 14721. It is now the basic model for digital preservation archives in libraries too.

It was not developed by MIT or by an IFLA committee; MIT is known for the DSpace repository software, which follows OAIS concepts but did not create them.

In the process of digitization, "Digitization step" includes ........

(i) Image capturing
(ii) Selection of documents
(iii) OCR
(iv) Image cleaning

A.(i), (ii) and (iii) are correct
B.(ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
C.(i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
D.(i), (iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2023, SET Exam - 2023,

Answer: D

The digitization step includes i, iii and iv, so the answer is (i), (iii) and (iv) are correct.

The digitization step itself covers capturing the images by scanning or photography (i), cleaning the images to remove noise, skew and marks (iv), and running optical character recognition to produce searchable text (iii).

Selection of documents (ii) is done earlier, at the planning stage, when the library decides which materials to digitize on grounds such as value, demand, condition and copyright. Options including ii are therefore wrong.

Characteristics of linked open data .............

(ii) Does impede its reuse for free
(iii) Are released under restricted license
(iv) Does not impede its reuse for free

A.(i) and (ii) are correct
B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
C.(i) and (iv) are correct
D.(iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2023, SET Exam - 2023,

Answer: C

Characteristics i and iv apply, so the answer is (i) and (iv) are correct.

Linked open data is linked data that is published under an open licence (i), which means the licence does not impede its free reuse (iv). Tim Berners-Lee's five-star scheme for open data starts from exactly this requirement.

Statements ii and iii describe the opposite: data released under a restricted licence, whose free reuse is impeded, is not open. Every option containing ii or iii is wrong.
