----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Peter: I like the bold look of the website very much. I was wondering if you are going to increase the content of each participant's part of the site to include transcripts of talks, symposia proceedings, etc.? If so, we would probably catalog it for access in our library. Ann Abid At 12:17 AM 2/25/98 -0500, you wrote: >There are 21 messages totalling 1023 lines in this issue. > >Topics of the day: > > 1.

Since announcement of that initiative, digital >libraries research and applications efforts have proliferated; new >communities of researchers, information providers and users have become >engaged; the definition of a digital library has evolved; technologies have >advanced; stores of digital content have increased dramatically; and new >research directions have emerged.

Digital libraries research is faced with the challenge of >applying increasing computational capacity and network bandwidth to manage >and bring coherence, usability, and accessibility to very large amounts of >distributed complex data and transform it into information and knowledge. > >Since digital libraries are meant to provide intellectual access to stores >of information, research in this initiative is concerned with developing >concepts, technologies and tools to gain use of the fuller knowledge and >meaning inherent in digital collections. For example, for users this means >intelligent search, retrieval, organization and presentation tools and >interfaces; for content and collections providers this means new >information types, structures, document encoding and metadata for enhancing >context; for system builders this means designing hardware and software >systems capable of interpreting and implementing users' requests by >locating, federating and querying collections to provide the user with the >structured information sought. > >PROGRAM GOALS >The primary purposes of this initiative are to provide leadership in >research fundamental to the development of the next generation of digital >libraries, to advance the use and usability of globally distributed, >networked information resources, and to encourage existing and new >communities to focus on innovative applications areas. > >Since digital libraries can serve as intellectual infrastructure, this >Initiative looks to stimulate partnering arrangements necessary to create >next-generation operational systems in such areas as education, engineering >and design, earth and space sciences, biosciences, geography, economics, >and the arts and humanities.
