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、马萨诸塞大学智能信息检索中心、圣地亚哥超级计算中心、Merit Network和东密歇根大学。该项目汇集了许多已经开展的工作，并开展了新的工作，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，每一类都是在卓越教育的整体背景下进行的：1)参与社区，2)提供技术，以及3)运营核心服务。为了促进一个强大的NSDL社区的愿景，这个社区认为自己拥有这个项目，并对图书馆的特点产生重大影响，项目团队正在与所有NSDL资助的项目一起工作，帮助将他们的工作集成到图书馆中。另外，由美国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合作，以及独立开发的馆藏和服务，也正在进行中。正在开发和支持知识产权和数字版权管理模式，以及促进图书馆评估框架，管理国家图书馆图书馆项目咨询小组，并制定国家图书馆图书馆的整体治理机制。一个健壮的、灵活的信息技术基础设施正在基于两个主题实现：“互操作性范围”和“一个库，多个门户”。本次合作项目的另外两个奖项是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.
