Abstract Most biomedical data repositories issue locally-unique accessions numbers, but do not provide globally unique, machine-resolvable, persistent identifiers for their datasets, as required by publishers wishing to implement citation in accordance with widely accepted principles. Local may however be prefixed a namespace identifier, providing global uniqueness. Such “compact identifiers” have been used informatics support resource identification local identifier assignment. We report...
This paper describes DataONE, a federated data network that is being built to improve access to, and preserve about, life on Earth the environment sustains it. DataONE supports science by: (1) engaging relevant science, library, data, policy communities; (2) facilitating easy, secure, persistent storage of data; (3) disseminating integrated user-friendly tools for discovery, analysis, visualization, decision-making. The provides an overview architecture community engagement activities. role...
The Alexandria Digital Earth ProtoType (ADEPT) architecture is a framework for building distributed digital libraries of georeferenced information. An ADEPT system comprises one or more autonomous libraries, each which provides uniform interface to collections, manages metadata items. primary standard on the based bucket framework, defines client-level query services that are compatible with heterogeneous underlying collections. functionality strikes balance between simplicity Web document...
We describe our Simple Digital Library Interoperability Protocol (SDLIP), which allows clients to query information sources in a uniform syntax. The protocol was developed collaboration between Stanford, the Universities of California at Berkeley, and Santa Barbara, San Diego Supercomputer Center, Library. In addition introducing protocol, we several design choices, compare them with choices made other search middleware approaches. for both stateful stateless operation, supports multiple...
The National Geospatial Digital Archive, one of eight initial projects funded under the Library Congress's NDIIPP program, has been researching how geospatial data can be preserved on a national scale and made available to future generations. In this paper we describe an archive architecture that provides minimal approach long-term preservation digital objects based co-archiving object semantics, uniform representation explicit storage all semantics as files, abstraction underlying system....
This note summarizes the system development activities of Alexandr ia Digital Earth Prototype (ADEPT) Project.5 ADEPT and Alexandria Library (ADL) are, respectively, research operational components Project. The goal is to build a distributed digital library (DL) personalized collections geospatially referenced information. DL characterized by: (1) services for building, searching, using collections; (2) georeferenced multimedia information, including dynamic simulation models spatially...

<p class="p1">In this paper we present a draft vocabulary for making "persistence statements." These are simple tools pragmatically addressing the concern that anyone feels upon experiencing broken web link. Scholars increasingly use scientific and cultural assets in digital form, but choosing which among many objects to cite long term can be difficult. There few well-defined terms describe various kinds qualities of persistence object repositories identifier resolvers do or don't provide....
The National Geospatial Digital Archive (NGDA) is one of eight initial projects funded by the Library Congress's Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP). project's overarching goal to answer question: How can we preserve geospatial data on a national scale make it available future generations? This paper summarizes work in four areas: analysis characteristics relevant preservation; elucidation “relay” principles long-term development an OAIS-compliant...
We describe two experimental desktop library clients that offer improved access to geospatial data via the Alexandria Digital Library (ADL): ArcADL, an extension ESRI's ArcView GIS, and vtADL, Virtual Terrain Project's Enviro terrain visualization package ArcADL provides a simplified user interface ADL's powerful underlying distributed search technology. Both use ADL Access Framework is available in multiple formats retrievable by methods Issues common both future scenarios are also considered.
We describe work leading toward specification of a technical architecture for the National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). This includes scope functional model, with some elaboration on particularly rich set library services that NSDL is expected eventually to encompass.
To support non-trivial clients, such as data exploration and analysis environments, digital libraries must be able to describe the access modes that their contents support. We present a simple scheme distinguishes four content accessibility classes: download (byte-stream retrieval), service (API), web interface (interactive), offline. These may recursively nest in alternative (semantically equivalent) or multipart (component) hierarchies. This is enough easily supported by DL providers, yet...
