This two-year award for cooperation on digital libraries involves Daniel E. Atkins and William Birmingham at the University of Michigan, and the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Applied Mathematics (ERCIM), which consists of the national computer and information science laboratories of 14 European countries. The award supports the establishment of four international working groups to foster an international community of Digital Library researchers and to identify joint research agendas. The working groups will focus on technical issues related to interoperability, metadata, optimized retrieval, and intellectual property and economics. Meetings will be organized to examine and define critical research questions through which joint research proposals will emerge. The University of Michigan serves as the U.S. organizer. Each working group will consist of five U.S. researchers from NSF-supported Digital Library Projects and other research organizations and five European researchers. The project takes advantage of significant European expertise in informatics and applied mathematics and will eventually provide access to a large compendium of scientific information that is produced in Europe. Through this cooperation, common standards and strategies to develop compatible systems and global digital libraries are likely to emerge.

这项为期两年的数字图书馆合作奖涉及密歇根大学的Daniel E.Atkins和William Birmingham，以及由14个欧洲国家的国家计算机和信息科学实验室组成的欧洲信息学和应用数学研究联盟(ERCIM)。该奖项支持建立四个国际工作组，以促进数字图书馆研究人员的国际社区，并确定联合研究议程。工作组将重点讨论与互操作性、元数据、优化检索以及知识产权和经济有关的技术问题。将组织会议，审查和界定关键的研究问题，通过这些问题将产生联合研究提案。密歇根大学是美国的组织者。每个工作组将由来自NSF支持的数字图书馆项目和其他研究组织的五名美国研究人员和五名欧洲研究人员组成。该项目利用了欧洲在信息学和应用数学方面的重要专门知识，最终将提供获取欧洲产生的大量科学信息的途径。通过这种合作，可能会出现开发兼容系统和全球数字图书馆的共同标准和战略。
