Update on the Hungarian National Shared Catalogue. 3. The catalogue of early prints and manuscripts

Abstract

This paper is the third part of the series on the Hungarian National Shared Catalogue published in Scientific and Technical Information. The Hunga-rian National Shared Catalogue - Early Prints project (MOKKA-R) was launched in 2005. The project aims to build the Hungarian catalogue of early prints originating from the Carpathian Basin, as well as set up a manuscript database. The pa-per explains why these two types of documents should be catalogued in separate databases and gives a detailed description of the main features of the BODZA database applications framework developed at the University of Szeged, offering both the searching and cataloguing interface of the database. MOKKA-R currently contains nearly 150,000 records. The paper presents the structure and content of the database and gives a summary of the activities and further plans of the MOKKA-R.
