Collaborative Project: Core Integration - Leading NSDL Toward Long-Term Success

一个机构团队正在开发，组织和管理国家STEM教育数字图书馆（NSDL）核心集成（CI）能力的下一阶段增长。合作者包括：UCAR、康奈尔大学、哥伦比亚大学、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校、马萨诸塞州大学智能信息检索中心、圣地亚哥超级计算中心、Merit网络和东密歇根大学。该项目汇集了许多已经在进行的努力，并进行了新的努力，以支持一个全面的大型数字图书馆，预计将加强科学，数学，工程和技术教育的各个方面。拟议工作的组织和技术基础分为三类努力，每一类都在教育卓越的总体背景下：1）参与社区，2）提供技术，3）运营核心服务。为了促进一个强大的NSDL社区的愿景，认为自己拥有的程序和对图书馆的性质有重大影响，项目团队正在与所有NSDL资助的项目，帮助他们的工作融入图书馆。此外，还与国家科学基金会数字图书馆倡议和博物馆与图书馆服务研究所资助的工作以及独立开发的收藏和服务建立了伙伴关系。正在开发和支持知识产权和数字版权管理模型，以及促进图书馆评估框架，管理NSDL计划咨询小组，并为NSDL开发整体治理机制。正在根据两个主题实施一个强有力的、灵活的信息技术基础设施：“一系列互操作性”和“一个图书馆，许多门户”。在这个合作项目的其他两个奖项是0227656和0227888。

A team of institutions is developing, organizing, and managing the next stage growth of the core integration (CI) capabilities of the National STEM Education Digital Library (NSDL). Collaborators include: UCAR, Cornell University, Columbia University, the University of California at Santa Barbara, the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval at the University of Massachusetts, the San Diego Supercomputing Center, the Merit Network, and Eastern Michigan University. The project is bringing together many efforts already underway, and engaging new efforts as well, in support of a comprehensive large-scale digital library expected to enhance every aspect of education in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. The organizational and technical underpinnings of the proposed work fall into three categories of effort, each within the overall context of educational excellence: 1) engaging the community, 2) providing technology, and 3) operating core services. To promote the vision of a strong NSDL community that sees itself as owning the program and having major influence on the character of the library, the project team is working with all NSDL-funded projects, helping to integrate their work into the library. Additional partnering with efforts such as those funded by the NSF's Digital Library Initiative and by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and independently developed collections and services, is also taking place. Development and support of models for intellectual property and digital rights management are being undertaken, as well as promotion of a library evaluation framework, administration of an NSDL program advisory group, and development of an overall governance mechanism for the NSDL. A robust, flexible information technology infrastructure is being implemented based on two themes: a "spectrum of interoperability" and "one library, many portals". The other two awards in this collaborative project are 0227656 and 0227888.
