Enhancing Interoperability of NSDL Collections and Services

在这一合作项目中，许多机构的教员正在共同努力，开发和实施信息技术解决方案，以加强NSDL的馆藏和服务的互操作性。一个特别的重点是探索支持“紧密联合”集合的需求，这些集合紧密遵守特定的元数据框架，以便能够构建联合搜索服务。在这一合作努力中，加州大学伯克利分校的一个团队主要致力于收集互操作性，而密苏里大学哥伦比亚大学的一个团队则专注于增强服务的互操作性(见DUE 0127580)。

In this collaborative project faculty at a number of institutions are working together to develop and implement information technological solutions aimed at enhancing the interoperability of both collections and services for the NSDL. A particular emphasis is on exploring the requirements for supporting "tightly federated" collections, that feature close adherence to particular metadata frameworks so as to enable federated search services to be built. In this collaborative effort a team from the University of California - Berkeley is working primarily on collection interoperability while a team from the University of Missouri - Columbia is focusing its efforts on enhancing the interoperability of services (see DUE 0127580).
