DLI-Phase 2: An Operational Social Science Digital Data Library

哈佛大学Sidney Verba$507,277-12-DLI-第二阶段：一个运营的社会科学数字数据图书馆这项建议是为了开发一个虚拟数据中心(VDC)，用于管理和共享跨多个机构的教学和研究目的的数值社会科学数据。该项目将改进和扩展哈佛-麻省理工学院数据中心开发的原型数据服务器，并将其转变为自由、可移植的软件产品，通过支持各种通信和互操作协议与其他数据中心和图书馆数据库集成。该项目的独特之处在于，它是一种公共资源，提供了一套开放的工具，并作为一种方式来测试和调整之前的数字图书馆研究，以适应严格的生产环境。该项目将是首批在生产环境中解决若干数字图书馆问题的项目之一，并将作为其他类型数字图书馆的生产框架。

AbstractIIS-9874747Harvard UniversitySidney Verba$507,277 - 12 mos.DLI-Phase 2: An Operational Social Science Digital Data LibraryThis proposal is for developing a Virtual Data Center (VDC) for managing and sharing numerical social science data for teaching and research purposes across multiple institutions. This project will refine and extendthe prototype data server developed by the Harvard-MIT Data Center and turn it into a free, portable software product that will integrate with other data centers and library databases by supporting a variety of communication and interoperation protocols. The project is unique in serving as a publicresource offering an open set of tools, and as a way to test and adapt previous digital library research to the rigors of a production environment. The project will be one of the first to address a number of digital library issues in a production environment, and will serve as a production framework for other types of digital libraries.
