ITR/IM Kepler - A Communal Digital Library

该项目旨在开发一个框架和工具，用于定义、描述和支持社区数字图书馆的出版和传播需求。它还希望将工具和软件打包，为不同社区的资源实施和部署创建一个通用解决方案。该方法的承诺是，通过将责任转移到作者身上，出版和传播将变得更可持续和更有效。将进行四次测试部署，涉及美国地质调查局、洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室、开放语言档案馆社区和已经参与NCSTRL-OAI的选定的计算机科学部门。监测使用情况将是整体努力的一部分。

This project aims to develop a framework and tools for defining, describing and supporting the publication and dissemination requirements of community digital libraries. It also expects to package the tools and software to create a general solution for implementation and deployment of resources for diverse communities. The promise in the approach is that publishing and dissemination will become more sustainable and effective by moving responsibilities to the author. Four test deployments will be done involving the US Geological Survey, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Open Language Archives community and selected computer science departments already involved with NCSTRL-OAI. Monitoring usage will be a part of the overall effort.
