Denise, We record structural metadata for the significant parts of the book
or score we are digitizing. We record in tabular format manually, but I
would like to add that we ask subject specialists to add content features
to the pagination structure. For instance, our music bibliographer added
the movements to the Chopin scores so that page and feature appear for
navigation as in:
http://chopin.lib.uchicago.edu/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?e=d-000-00---0chopin--00-0-0-0prompt-10---4---Document---0-1l--1-en-Zz-1---50-home---001-001-1-0utfZz-8-0&a=d&cl=CL1.1&d=CHOP153.1
We have done something similar for our online Goodspeed Manuscript pilot in
another interface which we are continuing to develop and refine (we would
like to make navigation of the images on the pages clearer):
