The Next Generation of Academic Repositories Phoenix, AZ April 2007

该提案要求提供资金，以支持举办一次关于由学术机构管理的下一代学术信息分布式储存库的讲习班。 研讨会将是国际性的，由英国联合信息系统委员会（监委会）参加和支持。 预计国会图书馆和NSF网络基础设施办公室也将参与和支持。 该讲习班计划于2007年4月在亚利桑那州凤凰城与网络信息联盟（CNI）会议同时举行。 组织者和资助者的初步规划会议也计划在华盛顿举行。这个研讨会的影响是巨大的，因为创建可互操作的存储库的努力在地球仪上激增，并且在每个存储库必须具有的基本元素和特性上迅速达成共识，以允许有效的分布式体系结构出现。

This proposal requests funds to support a workshop on the next generation of distributed repositories for scholarly information managed by academic institutions. The workshop will be international in scope, with participation and support from the British Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). Participation and support is also expected from the Library of Congress, and the NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructure. The workshop is planned to be held in conjunction with the meeting of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) in Phoenix, Arizona, in April 2007. Preliminary planning sessions of the organizers and funders are also planned to take place in Washington, DC. The Impact of this proposed workshop promises to be significant, as efforts to create interoperable repositories proliferate around the globe and consensus is rapidly building on the essential elements and features that each repository must have to allow effective distributed architectures to emerge.
