This workshop addresses the question of how to create a collaborative digital library, to disseminate scientific data to a wider audience than those who created the data: from local, national, or global collaboration or the entire Internet. We bring together case studies (from physics, astronomy and biology), with those offering enabling technology, and other information scientists. Topics of the workshop include metadata formats, databases, graphical user interface (GUI) software, and data exploration software; how a new user can quickly and easily learn to use the library; how the new user can reuse interaction paradigms learned elsewhere; how to provide a mechanism for users to annotate the library and create new metadata. Another main thrust of the workshop is the provision of high-performance computing that is connected at high bandwidth to the data archive, to provide filtering and data mining services. The output from the workshop is a well-disseminated report of its conclusions, accessible via Internet, and published in digest form in a peer-reviewed journal. This workshop will offer approaches that can provide or improve access to scientific data to a wide variety or users, ranging from scientists, business and policy decision makers, general public to schoolchildren.

本次研讨会讨论了如何创建一个合作的数字图书馆的问题，传播科学数据给更广泛的观众比那些谁创造的数据：从地方，国家或全球合作或整个互联网。我们汇集了案例研究（来自物理学，天文学和生物学），与那些提供使能技术和其他信息科学家。研讨会的主题包括元数据格式，数据库，图形用户界面（GUI）软件和数据探索软件;新用户如何快速轻松地学习使用库;新用户如何重用在其他地方学到的交互范例;如何为用户提供注释库和创建新元数据的机制。讲习班的另一个主旨是提供高性能计算，以高带宽连接到数据档案，以提供过滤和数据挖掘服务。研讨会的成果是一份广泛传播的结论报告，可通过互联网查阅，并以摘要形式发表在同行评审的期刊上。该讲习班将提供各种办法，使科学家、企业和政策决策者、一般公众和学童等各种各样的用户能够获得或更好地获得科学数据。
