Purpose -- One of the activities of the Národní filmový archiv, Prague is the acquisition of, long-term preservation of, and providing access to oral history interviews for researchers. The aim of this article was to conceptualise this type of document throughout its entire life cycle. The conceptualization was then utilised to create a descriptive model for oral history recordings. This model serves as the foundation for a new cataloguing system for oral history. Design / methodology / approach -- The cataloguing system of oral history emerged through refining the archive's existing descriptive practices. This process involved analysing international standards, assigning existing information to specific levels of description, and formalising them into metadata elements. The primary method involved conceptual analysis of the interview recording as a specific type of document, considering it not only as an archival item (record of an event) but also as a work in the sense of a bibliographic description entity. Results -- The main outcome is the creation of a conceptual model for describing a specific type of audio work and of related metadata specifications designed for the detailed cataloguing of oral history interviews. The model and specification facilitate the linkage of interviews with related entities and serve as the foundation for a new cataloguing system. The second outcome is an accompanying publicly available online database that enables more detailed searches, particularly through subject headings. This user-friendly interface is much more accommodating than archival aids presented solely in the form of lists contained in static documents. Originality / value -- The article presents insights into the process of creating a metadata specification that is unique in its level of detail and complexity within both Czech and international contexts. The study builds upon a previously published text addressing the development of field-specific subject headings for describing the content of oral history interviews. In this article, subject headings are discussed in terms of their practical application in the new cataloguing system for oral history. Metadata specification and cataloguing rules can be inspirational not only for narrowly focused collections of oral history interviews but also, conceptually, for other collections with similar content.

Purpose - The article presents the circumstances surrounding the development of a specialized database that gathers information about individuals and entities involved in the trade and distribution of historical sound carriers and, more broadly, in the development of the early sound industry in the Czech lands. The article traces the entire process of development the database, from initial research on historical sound documents at the National Museum to the mapping of related archival materials, culminating in the development of the presentation web platform. Design / methodology / approach - The article is a case study describing and analyzing the creation and development of a specialized thematic database, presenting its functions and data structure. The contribution demonstrates how the database was modeled based on digital objects, data, and metadata primarily obtained from the collections of the National Museum, supplemented by materials from other Czech libraries, archives and museums and private collections. Results - The article is a case study describing and analyzing the creation and development of a specialized database, presenting its fundamental functions and data structure. The contribution demonstrates how the database was modeled based on digital objects, data, and metadata primarily obtained from the collections of the National Museum. Originality / value - The article illustrates that the creation of a specialized database was the only way to unify and interconnect previously fragmented and incomplete archival materials, sound recordings, and other products of the early sound industry. According to the authors, the emerging specialized database also has future potential for evaluating the subject matter in an international context (including the Central European and transatlantic connections of the early sound industry).

The advanced use of digital technologies, the existence of freely accessible structured knowledge bases, the increasing level of standardization and the needs of the scientific community offer those who process bibliographical data qualitatively new options for processing such data. In line with current trends in accessing scientific data, which are also reflected in the development of scientific policies (FAIR principles, open science, linkable open data, etc.), the issue of the re-use of existing datasets is gaining in importance. The present text uses the example of the Literarybibliography.eu portal to indicate the options for creating an international subject bibliography for literary studies from existing data sources, while discussing both the theoretical concept behind the project and the technological and methodological issues involved in the creation of such a bibliography, especially the harmonization and further enhancement of the source data.

Purpose - The aim of this paper is to outline the basic procedures for cataloguing standard gramophone records, focusing on publication date determination. Determining the publication date is a key (and obligatory) step which plays a major role in the correct identification and cataloguing of the sound documents included in the collections of Czech memory institutions. However, the determination of the date of publication of certain types of sound documents, such as historical gramophone records, is a challenging task. This paper presents a case study of various date determination methods and their application in cataloguing practice, using as an example the personal discothèque of R. A. Dvorský, an early 20th century popular music performer and composer, which forms part of the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music phonotheque. Design/Methodology/Approach - The collection of standard gramophone records from R. A. Dvorský's discothèque was catalogued in compliance with the RDA core elements requirements and in the MARC 21 format, based on the publication dates found on the labels of standard gramophone records and using various types of specialised sources (historical catalogues, discographies, electronic databases, reference books etc.). The paper presents examples of ways in which various resource types can be used and publication dates recorded in the catalogue system. Results - The intended outcomes are the following: 1) The application of specialized sources in the determination of standard gramophone records publication dates. 2) A case study of the cataloguing of standard gramophone records from the collections of the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music in compliance with the RDA standards in the MARC 21 format. Originality/Value - The main contribution of this paper is that it demonstrates the process of describing and cataloguing standard gramophone records included in the collections of the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music in compliance with the RDA standards in the MARC 21 format. Another benefit is the overview of ways in which various types of auxiliary sources, which are key for determining the publication dates of standard gramophone records, can be applied. These types of sources can be used by memory institutions' cataloguers and documenters for cataloguing and keeping records of standard gramophone records collections. Retrospective dating of recordings enables incomplete descriptions of sound carriers to be completed, for example within the VISK 5 (retrospective cataloguing) programmes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with the manuscript of Mauric Remeš, completed on August 3, 1954. The manuscript concerns the history of the Olomouc University Botanical Garden in the first half of the 20th century. An essential part of the Remeš’s manuscript is the list of 1116 taxa of cultivated plants, which the author compiled by transcribing the tabs placed next to the plants. This list is the first comprehensive overview of the species grown in the Olomouc University Botanical Garden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose -- The technical paper presents the recent development and extension of the Czech Geographical Bibliography online -- GEOBIBLINE. It also highlights the growing importance of analytical description within the database. In addition, it points to the collaboration of professional libraries and other institutions. Design/methodology/approach -- The paper explains how and why the GEOBIBLINE project was created. Through the reminders of the publishing activity on the main project results, it briefly maps out its entire development from 2008 to 2017. The authors also touch upon topics such as the current structure of bibliographic records in GEOBIBLINE, the number of full texts and geographic search tool for cartographic documents called MapRank search. Attention is paid to the cataloging and subject control of graphics, including the analytical description of graphics. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the growing importance of the analytical description within GEOBIBLINE and the cooperation related with the analytical bibliography of the Czech Republic - ANL. Results -- The result of this paper is the presentation of the GEOBIBLINE project in its entirety, along with the latest news on content, technology and institutional cooperation. The paper also helps to outline what the Czech geographical bibliography online can offer in collaboration with institutions and individuals. Originality/value -- All the potential users and collaborators from the professional and general public are presented with the GEOBIBLINE project with its content and technological innovations. It turns out that GEOBIBLINE can become an example of good practice not only in the creation of a bibliographic database itself and its functioning, but also in the bibliographic processing of non-traditional types of documents (old maps, vedutas, stereoscopic slides, etc.).

In this article, I describe the principal features of the Database of Loanword Pronunciation Variants, realised with the aim of bridging a long gap in the empirical study of Czech loanword phonology. The database contains pronunciation forms obtained for 300 phonetically problematic loans and proper names from a balanced sample of 300 Czech speakers. After considering the principles that underlie the phonological adaptation of loanwords, I describe the design of the database and the methodology used. Although the validity of the data is undoubtedly high, I note some factors that might cause bias, such as the influence of spelling or the item selection procedure. The average number of different pronunciation variants per item is 8.02 (1.97 after variants with less than 5% frequency have been excluded). 34 different paradigms of phonological variability were identified in the database. A number of criteria can be used when analysing the data: the phonological phenomenon, word type (e.g. common vs. proper noun), source language, as well as informant features (region, sex, age, education). The database represents a large sociolinguistic survey which can be used both as an empirical platform for the study of Czech loanword phonology and as a source for lexicographic work.

The article deals with possibilities of obtaining information on the legal status of patents. Patent protection is provided for a specific territory and for a limited period- During the time of validity of a patent its owner has the exclusive right to use the protected technical solution. Once a patent is not valid any more it is free to use without violating the rights of third parties. If we need to find out whether a particular patent is valid or not it is necessary to examine its legal status. Currently it is possible to obtain information on the legal status of patents in some countries in freely accessible databases on the Internet. Introduction to the article describes the characteristics of the patent legal status information, as well as their sources which by their character differ from patent databases containing technical solutions. The other part of the article is devoted to specific information sources on the legal status of the patents - especially the information products of the European Patent Office, in particular the database INPADOC which contains data from more than 60 countries. Other sources are the European Patent Register with information about the European patent applications, the project of the federated European Patent Register and the Espacenet database containing over 80 million patent documents from all over the vvorld which enables to obtain information on their legal status from the INPADOC database. The final part describes the patent database of the Czech Industrial Property Office. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study brings the partial results of the research undertaken within the framework of the project Internal Grants of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University. The research deals with the Czech production of sound recordings and it is focused on the gramophone record company ESTA up to 1946 in Czechoslovakia. A brief summary of the evolution of gramophone records is followed by an introduction of the first Czechoslovak gramophone company ESTA and its production. Methodologically, the study relies on a physical survey of the phonograph records in selected collections in our country and abroad and on the historical bibliographic records or databases of selected institutions in the Czech Republic. The aim of the research is to collect bibliographic information about the production of gramophone records in our territory to 1946 and, in cooperation with the Moravian Library in Brno, finally make the data gradually accessible in the Virtual National Phonotheque database.

This paper summarizes outcomes of quantitative research that has been made among students and staff of 2nd Faculty of Medicine at Charles University and University Hospital in Motol. The main goal is to give an overview of their information behaviour as well as to find out how the users are informed about superstructural services (they are reference, search, educational, promotional and interlibrary loan services) which are offered by library itself. The paper compares information behaviour of each user, superstructural services use, social sites use, and evaluation of information literacy classes. The final qualitative part of the research sums up users' suggestions and comments on particular library activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to explain the current possibilities of publishing the results of nursing research, a survey was performed relating to the number of journals with an impact factor (IF) from the field of nursing research and its development over recent years and the number of reviewed (non-impacted) journals dealing with this topic in the Czech Republic. Within the survey, the method of analysis of written documents was used. The numbers of journals with IF from the area of nursing research were found in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database located in two editions in which nursing research is studied -- JCR Science Edition (Sci. Ed.) and -- JCR Social Edition (Soc. Sci. Ed.). The reviewed non-impacted journals were studied according to the List of Inland Reviewed Non-Impacted Journals published by the Council for Science and Research. There is no journal listed that is devoted solely to nursing and nursing research. In the list for 2010, two journals are given which are concerned with health care professions where nursing is mentioned as a priority -- "Kontakt", a professional and scientific journal for health and social problems, and -- Profession On-Line, an electronic journal aimed at professionals in nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, radiological assistance and other health care specialties. While, at the international level, there has been an extraordinary increase of impacted journals dealing with nursing research, which significantly exceeds the increase in other medical specialties and which was virtually doubled in 2005 -- 2008, the number of Czech reviewed journals dealing with nursing research continues to below. Appropriate attention should be paid to nursing research in order both to develop nursing research and to introduce a new system of financing for this research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Moderno kardiovaskularno istraživanje stvara velike količine podataka koji su vrlo često smješteni u male baze podataka te tako odvojeno analizirani bez cjelokupne sinteze i zaključka. Da bi izbjegli takvu opasnost, dizajniran je i izgrađen poseban sustav posvećen projektu "Predviđanja negativnih kliničkih ishoda kod pacijenata s implantiranim uređajima za defibrilaciju" (istraživanje potpomognuto Poljskom zakladom za znanost). Ovaj sustav temelji se na OpenGranarv tehnologiji (www.opengranary.com) i omogućava registraciju pacijenata, planiranje njihovih dolazaka i praćenje posjeta, unos svih vrsta podataka iz kliničke evaluacije, rezultata laboratorijskih ispitivanja, slika (npr. iz ehokardiograma) te kardiovaskularnih signala (npr. kontinuirani EKG, krivulja tlaka, signala srčane impedancije) ili očitanja iz telemetrijskog praćenja implantiranih uređaja za defibrilaciju. Za sve vrste podataka postoje posebne granice za kontrolu kvalitete podataka, informiranje o neuobičajenim ili mogućim greškama. OpenGranarv sustav uključuje nekoliko statističkih rješenja uz mogućnost definiranja različitih filtara, usporedbi i on-line praćenja, npr. uspoređivanje rezultata prema spolu, pojedinaca s/bez ishemijske bolesti srca ili drugih grupa prema unaprijed definiranom izboru. Rezultati su prikazani u obliku brojki i slika. Od kraja listopada 2010. uključili smo 370 pacijenata od kojih je svaki imao oko 1.000 različitih varijabli. Primjenom ovog sustava znatno je poboljšana kvaliteta studije, a njena je kontrola znatno olakšana. Analiza podataka je brža i djelomično automa-tizirana, a svi podaci su sakupljeni na jednom mjestu. Baza podataka se svakodnevno pohranjuje, a podaci se lagano i momentalno isporučuju u različite oblike (txt, csv). Pridodana je i dodatna funkcionalnost izmjene podataka s mobilnim uređajima, poput PDA ili smartphone uređaja. Trenutno iskustvo pokazuje da izgradnja takvog specijaliziranog sustava nije samo korisna nego i neophodna za realizaciju budućih kliničkih studija baziranih na stotinama različitih varijabli i pacijenata.
