This demonstration project for the Core Integration System (CIS) of a national digital library for SMET Education is providing functioning horizontal and vertical integration of disciplinary collections and associated services. Www.smete.org represents an alliance of nearly twenty partner organizations - disciplinary collections, educational institutions, industry, and non-profit organizations - that is working to establish the basis for a national digital library for SMET education. Collaborators also include strong partners with experience in identifying and collecting digital resources for K-12 education. The project envisions this virtual facility as a place where members of the SMET community of learners interact with one another to develop, locate, use and discuss digital resources that enhance teaching and learning in classrooms, in coursework, in informal settings, and within and across disciplines. Towards this end the PI and team are developing a library portal to demonstrate interoperability of resources and federated search across multiple disciplinary collections. In addition, the project is coordinating the development of shared metadata across multiple disciplines in SMET education and developing subject thesauri and descriptors for describing pedagogy in SMETE. Other activities include participation with other pilot projects in developing a governing structure for the library, developing classifications for ranking materials, and identifying issues associated with curation of aging materials. Significant co-funding of this project is being provided by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences in recognition of the breadth of disciplinary coverage represented in this work.

这一为SMET教育建立的国家数字图书馆核心整合系统（CIS）示范项目正在提供学科收藏和相关服务的横向和纵向整合。Www.smete.org是一个由近20个伙伴组织组成的联盟，这些组织包括学科收藏、教育机构、工业和非营利组织，它们正在努力为SMET教育建立一个国家数字图书馆。合作伙伴还包括在识别和收集K-12教育数字资源方面经验丰富的强大合作伙伴。该项目设想将这一虚拟设施作为一个地方，中小企业和技术培训学习者社区的成员可以相互交流，开发、查找、使用和讨论数字资源，以加强课堂、课程、非正式环境以及学科内部和跨学科的教学。为此，PI和团队正在开发一个图书馆门户网站，以展示跨多个学科收藏的资源和联合搜索的互操作性。此外，该项目正在协调开发中小企业教育和培训多个学科的共享元数据，并开发描述中小企业教育和培训教学法的主题词表和描述词。其他活动包括参与其他试点项目，为图书馆制定管理结构，为材料排名制定分类，并确定与老化材料管理有关的问题。该项目的重要共同资金由NSF数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室提供，以表彰这项工作所代表的学科覆盖面的广度。
