Abstract
Encyclopaedia slavica sanctorum (eslavsanct.net) is designed as a complex heterogenous multimedia product. It is part of the project Encyclopaedia Slavica Sanctorum: Saints and Holy Places in Bulgaria (in electronic and Guthenberg versions). Until 2013, its web-based platform for online management and presentation of structured digital content has been prepared and numerous materials have been input. The platform is developed using the server technologies PHP, MySQL and HTML, JavaScript, CSS on the client side. The search in the e-ESS can be made by different parameters (12, or combinations of parameters), such as saints’ or feasts’ names, type of sainthood, types of texts dedicated to the saints, dates of saints’ commemorations, and several others. Both guests and registered users can search in the e-ESS but the latter have access to much more information including the publications of original sources. The e-platform allows for making statistics of what have been searched and read....

“Encyclopaedia Slavica Sanctorum” Ten Years Later: Main Trends and Questions
Digital Presentation and Preservation of Cultural and Scientific Heritage
The paper discusses users’ activities in the period 2011-2022, mostly types of searches, in an electronic encyclopaedia on saints. The e-product contains information in Bulgarian on orthodox church calendar and texts dedicated to saints as preserved in medieval Slavonic manuscripts and in popular Bulgarian culture (as represented in fieldwork interviews). The most frequently used options are “view object” and “view date”. Most often articles on popular saints amongst Bulgarians were read, such as St. Basil the Great, St. Kliment of Ohrid, St. George, and St. Petka of Tarnovo. Less often are searches by combined parameters and an increase of their frequency is observable in 2019-2021.

Croatian Digital Web Archive From project to service of the National and University Library in Zagreb
Digitalia, 2012
The objective was to establish a tool for harvesting and archiving the deposit copy of Croatian publications on the Internet while preserving, to the largest measure possible, the original contents, formats and functionalities, in order to ensure access and use in the future. The digital archive is based on the concept of selective collection of static and dynamic Web publications in interaction with the NUL's WebPAC. Each Web resource is fully catalogued and thus retrievable in the NUL's catalogue. The Digital Archive is fully integrated with the libraray information system and is running as a service since January 2004. Background: laying the ground B ibliographic identification, processing and archiving of Web resources is being considered a legal obligation by the Croatian National and University Library in Zagreb (NUL). The library law of 1997 included "electronic publications" as a legal deposit copy. Electronic publications were specified as: compact discs, magnetic tapes, diskettes, databases and on-line publications 1. In 1998 the cataloguing of Web serial publications freely available on the Internet, or resources that were recognized as such, was started as a research project.
Towards a New Concept of Open Access Online Encyclopaedia : A Case Study from Croatia The Role of Encyclopaedias Today 1
ELPUB 2020 24rd edition of the International Conference on Electronic Publishing, 2020
Professionally edited open access online encyclopaedias enable a systemic and reliable orientation within the ever-increasing amount of data and information on the Internet. Providing access to scientifically verified information, they represent an important part of the research and didactic infrastructure. This paper demonstrates the activities of Croatia’s Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography aimed at exploring the new encyclopaedic concept in the digital age. The Institute’s digital transformation is shown, which involves the digitisation and online publishing of archival editions, publishing of the permanently updated online general encyclopaedia, and the transformation of specialised encyclopedias to the encyclopaedic portals. Encyclopaedic portals could represent a new concept of encyclopaedias in the digital realm by serving as platforms for data networking and sharing, a sort of ‘junction points’ that connect diverse digital content on a specific topic. Institute’s publicly available repository of encyclopaedic knowledge enables the linking to the digital data and collections of other research and cultural institutions; therefore the collaborative projects aimed at reinforcing digital research and cultural infrastructure will be described. Thanks to the properties of the digital media and increasing connectivity, a closer collaboration between professionally edited online encyclopaedias across Europe (and beyond) is enabled. This paper elaborates a range of initiatives seeking to build connections across individual European and North American national encyclopaedias, focusing on the role that Croatian encyclopaedistics plays in this endeavour.

Electronic Research Infrastructure for Bulgarian Medieval Written Heritage: history and perspectives
Electronic Research Infrastructure for Bulgarian Medieval Written Heritage: History and Perspectives, 2021
The paper traces the history of the Histdict system, which turned into a basis for the new Electronic Research Infrastructure for Bulgarian Medieval Written Heritage, which was included into the National Research Roadmap at the end of 2020. Through this act the state declares its support to our resources, that have been so far created and supported by project funding. And of course, it is a big recognition of our efforts and achievements. On the other hand, this act coincided with two other events: the inclusion of RESILIENCE (Research Infrastructure on Religious Studies) in which Histdict is taking part, in the European Research Infrastructures Roadmap and the start of the updating and upgrading of the system. Given the situation the Infrastructure is now facing new challenges-not only the successful improvement of the services it offers, but also the inclusion of the Orthodox Cultural Heritage into European research exchange, which will promote and popularize the history and culture of Southeastern Europe.

Croatian Web Archive : an overview / Karolina Holub, Inge Rudomino (2014)
The National and University Library in Zagreb (Library) established the Croatian Web Archive (HAW) in 2004 in collaboration with the University of Zagreb Computing Centre (Srce). The objective of the HAW is to collect, preserve and provide access to web resources that are considered an important part of Croatian cultural heritage. This paper presents the Library's practice in archiving Croatian web resources. Croatian Web Archive started with a selective approach of collecting web resources. In order to enlarge and improve the national collection of archived resources, in 2011 the National and University Library in Zagreb decided to undertake the whole national domain harvesting. In addition, thematic harvestings focusing on particular subjects or events (e.g. national elections, sport events or natural disasters, etc.) were conducted as part of the HAW's activities.

Digital Collections of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography
Digital Humanities and Heritage: Legacy and Innovation , 2024
The systemic digital transformation of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, the Croatian publishing house and scientific institution, way initiated in 2009, when the Institute started developing open access collections of digital editions (encyclopaedias, encyclopaedic monographs, lexicons, dictionaries etc.). This presentation aims to provide an overview of the Institute's digital encyclopaedic collections, which currently comprise of approximately 400,000 articles from 30 editions. The role of the Institute is to systematise, store and distribute scientifically verified information in all fields of knowledge, as well to understand Croatia's natural, historic and cultural heritage, and to preserve its cultural and social identity. The Institute's potential lies in the huge resources of created and stored knowledge, which is continuously being digitised since 2008. In 2009 the Portal of Knowledge, the collection of archival digitised editions was made available online. The key step to the Institute's digital transformation was the launch of online edition of the Croatian Encyclopaedia (https://enciklopedija.hr/) in 2013, constantly updated and expanded general encyclopaedia. Containing more than 71,000 entries, this encyclopaedia has been established as one of the principal digital reference sources in Croatian language with approximately 30,000 visits a day. The Croatian Encyclopaedia of Technology was launched in 2014 as the first Croatian encyclopaedia simultaneously published as print and online edition at the Portal of the Croatian Technology Heritage (https://tehnika.lzmk.hr/), which provides content-related data in each article, primarily aimed at linking to external sources. The Collection of Encyclopaedic Heritage (https://e-bastina.lzmk.hr/), containing more than 95,000 entries from 12 digitised editions printed from 1954 to 1996, was launched at the end 2023. The same year saw the new interface and functionalities of the Portal of Knowledge (https://enciklopedija.lzmk.hr/). At present, the Portal consists of 11 digitised editions with more than 160,000 entries, as well as of two aforementioned ongoing editions Croatian Encyclopaedia and the Croatian Encyclopaedia of Technology. These collections will continue to expand in the future as new encyclopaedias and lexicons are being digitized. All editions and collections, as well as additional digital content, are accessible via the Institute’s website (https://www.lzmk.hr/e-leks/online-izdanja). Along with the dissemination of scientifically verified knowledge, as well as facilitated access and searchability, digital encyclopaedic content gives the possibility of linking to the digital data and collections of other research and cultural institutions. Thanks to this increased connectivity, the Institute has been taking part in several projects, initiatives and communities, thus contributing to the development of the field of digital humanities and heritage.
