CASE STUDY
Vatican Apostolic Library
Trusted partner of the Vatican Library for 20 years
The Vatican Library is experiencing a new era in which the preservation of historical heritage merges with technological innovation. In a global context where cultural institutions are adopting digital transformation, the collaboration between the Vatican Library and DB SERET represents a point of reference for the preservation and sharing of priceless collections.
The challenge: Long-term conservation and accessibility
The main objective of the project is to ensure the integrity of manuscripts through a digital archiving system that respects three fundamental pillars:
- self-documentation of data
- permanent access over time
- proprietary independence (open formats)
FITS Standard and PREMIS: Technology at the Service of History
To ensure the longevity of the data, the project involved converting digital manuscripts into FITS format. This robust standard is ideal for long-term preservation, as it prevents file obsolescence.
With our advanced OMNES solution, we have facilitated critical processes such as:
- Data validation: Strict file integrity check
- Metadata Management: Storage and retrieval according to international PREMIS standards
- Interoperability: Smooth conversion from FITS format to various web exchange formats for fast and universal consultation
- A collaboration for digital cultural heritage
We are proud to support the Vatican Library in moving from simple preservation to standardization of digital content. Through our OMNES platform, we transform millennial treasures into accessible resources everywhere, ensuring that historical memory remains intact for future generations.
CASE STUDY
European Space Agency
OMNES is built on 10 years of scientific collaboration with the ESA
ESA (European Space Agency), a leading global aerospace organization, handles huge volumes of heterogeneous data on a daily basis. The need to ensure compliance with rigorous standards and accessibility to information has led to strategic collaboration with DB SERET for the implementation of the OMNES Suite.
The Challenge: Convergence and Complexity of Spatial Data
ESA needed an advanced solution capable of:
- Integrate different systems into a single coherent infrastructure
- Accelerate data acquisition (data ingestion) from multiple sources
- Exploring large Lake Data with effectiveness and accuracy
- Ensure compliance with the highest standards of file cataloguing and description
The Solution: OMNES for the Aerospace Sector
With the OMNES Suite, DB SERET has provided ESA with a comprehensive ecosystem for document management and long-term preservation.
The platform stands out for its native support for the main international standards:
- Archival description: ISAD(G) and EAD
- Metadata: Dublin Core
- Preservation models: OAIS (Open Archival Information System)
Results: Massive Acquisition and Intelligent Big Data Research
The customization of the OMNES Suite has allowed ESA to optimize the entire information lifecycle:
- Flexible Ingestion: Massive acquisition of native digital documents, digitized analog files, and high-resolution images
- Intuitive User Experience: A flexible interface that makes it easy to navigate millions of records
- Big Data Analytics: Advanced research tools to extract actionable information and strategic value from the Agency's extensive historical and technical archive
