The aims of the project concern the development of Goobi.Production, the workflow management module of Goobi. While Goobi.Presentation, Goobi's presentation interface, demonstrably already meets all current requirements of a powerful open source tool, Goobi.Production is in urgent need of further development work, the extent of which cannot be financed and undertaken by the active Goobi community alone. The main aims of this development work are: the modularization of the system architecture, in order to open up further development perspectives; a notable improvement of use ergonomics, in order to improve the productivity; as weil as the flexibilization of accepted media types, in order to better meet the requirements of the digitization of heterogeneaus collections.
