Abstract

Abstract Since the 1970s, the Publications Office of the European Union, the official publisher of all the institutions and bodies of the EU, has had to adapt to a fast-changing situation as the number of EU Member States has grown and the number and nature of publications has evolved (including publishing public tenders of EU institutions and Member States in 1978 through a supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union and handling CELEX, an interinstitutional and multilingual automated documentation system for community law, in 1992). These changes occurred over several ages of computing. The computerisation of the Publications Office was primarily a response to the need for rationalisation and productivity, but the aim was also to gradually adapt to new types of document publication and consultation. These different stages of digitalisation required the constant transfer of information to a multitude of media. Supports, such as punched cards, optical discs and CD-ROMs, had varying life expectancies and are all evidence of attempts to digitise information before the Web. This evolution not only illustrates the need to constantly harmonise a large amount of information, it also highlights some continuities. It affects the management of information systems but also meets regularly updated standardisation, interoperability and sustainability needs within a complex ecosystem.
从印刷到数字,从文件到数据:欧盟出版办公室的数字化
摘要自20世纪70年代以来,欧盟出版办公室是欧盟所有机构的官方出版商,随着欧盟成员国数量的增长以及出版物的数量和性质的演变,不得不适应快速变化的形势(包括1978年通过《欧洲联盟官方公报》的增刊公布欧盟机构和成员国的公开投标书,1992年处理机构间和多语言的共同体法自动化文件系统CELEX)。这些变化发生在计算机的几个时代。出版物办公室的电脑化主要是为了满足合理化和生产力的需要,但其目的也是逐步适应新类型的文件出版和咨询。数字化的这些不同阶段需要不断地向多种媒体传递信息。穿孔卡片、光盘和CD-ROM等支持的预期寿命各不相同,都是在网络出现之前尝试将信息数字化的证据。这种演变不仅说明了不断协调大量信息的必要性,还突出了一些连续性。它影响信息系统的管理,但也满足复杂生态系统中定期更新的标准化、互操作性和可持续性需求。
