The University of Missouri-Columbia, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the University of Illinois, and the Missouri Botanical Garden are collaborating on this pilot project to build a prototype core integration system for a national digital library for SMET Education. The technical infrastructure for the system builds on the NCSA distributed information retrieval system, EMERGE. This system is being extended to an adaptive and flexible distributed search engine for a wide variety of learning environments and resources, and is being tested on the rich plant contents of the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the NSF Plant Genome projects at the University of Illinois (Soybean) and the University of Missouri-Columbia (Corn). Seamless coordination with services is being offered on several learning environments, including NCSA's Biology Workbench 3.2. A digital repository, BLOE (Biological Learning Object Exchange), serves to collect and organize experiments, simulations, and projects from learners and teachers for collaborative learning. Additional project activities include studies of requirements of user services, management procedures, evaluation methods, and technical standards using various undergraduate and graduate programs of the two universities and the K-12 educational activities of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校、国家超级计算应用中心 (NCSA)、伊利诺伊大学和密苏里植物园正在合作开展这一试点项目，为 SMET 教育国家数字图书馆构建原型核心集成系统。该系统的技术基础设施建立在 NCSA 分布式信息检索系统 EMERGE 之上。该系统正在扩展到适用于各种学习环境和资源的自适应且灵活的分布式搜索引擎，并且正在密苏里植物园的丰富植物内容以及伊利诺伊大学（大豆）和密苏里哥伦比亚大学（玉米）的 NSF 植物基因组项目上进行测试。多种学习环境提供与服务的无缝协调，包括 NCSA 的 Biology Workbench 3.2。数字存储库 BLOE（生物学习对象交换）用于收集和组织学习者和教师的实验、模拟和项目，以进行协作学习。其他项目活动包括利用两所大学的各种本科生和研究生课程以及密苏里植物园的 K-12 教育活动研究用户服务要求、管理程序、评估方法和技术标准。
