Other bibliographic projects and initiatives to be excluded by current criteria
This list is by no means complete, and sites are listed alphabetically,
Latin followed by Cyrillic. We're not sure about whether phrases or examples
in red should really be in the exclusion criteria.
The inventory will exclude:
1) wholly commercial enterprises
2) card catalogs turned into OPACs
3) print dictionaries turned into online dictionaries
4) digital repositories and archives
5) portals, online forums, and lists of links on a topic. Many of these sites
contain or link to digitalized resources but are not themselves digital projects
according to our definition.
6) webpages with information on digital processes
7) lists, inventories, or catalogs of digital resources
8) library guides, finding aids, and bibliographies (even
annotated) that are neither reformatted from print originals nor use
descriptive markup
9) born-digital keyboarded texts
10) instructional aids
11) databases without digitized materials
This includes so-called dictionary databases
This does not include databases of images. These qualify as digital
projects.
12) GIS data without other digitized materials
13) journal aggregators
Other projects that fit into more than one of these categories, or the classification
of which is still unclear:
- ABSEES (#8, 11)
- Alexis Babine
at the Library of Congress (#8, 9)
- Bibliographie européenne des
travaux sur l'ex-URSS et l'Europe de l'Est (#8, 11) *Note: This is an older version of the project that is listed next.

East European Studies (EBSEES)

11)

repressions, arrest records, maps, and bibliography (#11, 8) (This
may be included if the maps and arrest records are reformatted.)
