CMNet (Chinese Memory Net): U.S.-Sino Collaborative Research Toward a Global Digital Library in Chinese Studies

本项目名为CMNet(中文记忆网)：中美合作建设全球中文数字图书馆。它建议将美国、台湾和中国的精选学术研究和教育合作伙伴聚集在一起，开发一个专注于中国研究的可持续发展的数字图书馆。其目标是通过汇集这些国家现有的努力，建立必要的多国合作和资源共同体，并建立新的进程和协调一致的活动。通过这样做，调查人员试图澄清和防止中国研究领域的重复工作和零散的、不可互操作的数字图书馆资源的出现。相反，目标是确定这一领域可互操作系统的特点，为多语文处理找到可能的解决办法，并在不断发展的高带宽国际网络环境中制定公认的方法、协议、工具和技术标准。

This project is entitled CMNet (Chinese Memory Net): U.S.-Sino Collaborative Research Toward a Global Digital Library in Chinese. It proposals to bring together select academic research and education partners in the United States, Taiwan and China to develop a sustainable digital library focusing on Chinese Studies. The objectives are to build the necessary multi-national collaborations and resources communities by bringing together existing efforts in these countries and to establish new processes and coordinated activities. By doing so the investigators seek to elucidate and prevent duplication of effort and emergence of fragmented, non-interoperable digital libraries resources in the area of Chinese Studies. Instead the goal is to define characteristics of interoperable systems in this area, to find potential solutions for multilingual language processing, and to develop commonly accepted standards of methods, protocols, tools and technologies within the evolving high bandwidth international networked environment.
