The Internet Scout Project's Targeted Information Provision Service

该NSDL项目汇集了通过核心集成(CI)团队协调的各种集合、服务和目标研究，以便提供数字科学技术、工程和数学(STEM)材料的门户。作为NSDL的一部分，Internet Scout Project正在创建一个有针对性的信息提供服务(TIPS)，通过从NSDL Scout报告档案和NSDL中央元数据存储库收集和集成记录，为NSDL用户提供定制的报告和公告。该服务还将继续提供NSDL Scout报告和档案，同时添加与核心集成团队协作创建的新TIPS服务。这项新服务允许NSDL用户创建自定义的TIPS公告，向他们发送从NSDL Scout报告和NSDL中央元数据存储库中挑选的新添加的STEM资源的信息。TIPS公报是在一种新的软件工具--收获和综合工具(HIT)的支持下制作的，该工具从档案和中央储存库检索记录，并将其整合到一个专门结构的数据库中，用于编制公报。具体的项目目标是：1.继续提供NSDL Scout报告并维护随附的档案；2.创建TIPS公告并及时将其提供给最终用户；3.设计和构建收获和集成工具；4.与核心集成团队密切合作，向NSDL社区推广TIPS；5.向STEM社区推广TIPS和NSDL，从而扩大和改善对NSDL收藏和服务的访问；6.协作开发跨多个学科的共享元数据；7.通过与标准制定机构和组织合作，为整个数字图书馆知识库做出贡献。

This NSDL project brings together a diverse body of collections, services, and targeted research coordinated through the Core Integration (CI) team in order to provide a portal to digital science technology, engineering and math (STEM) materials. As part of NSDL, the Internet Scout Project is creating a Targeted Information Provision Service (TIPS) that provides customized reports and bulletins for NSDL users by harvesting and integrating records from both the NSDL Scout Report archives and the NSDL central metadata repository. This service is also continuing to provide the NSDL Scout Reports and archives while adding the new TIPS service created in collaboration with the Core Integration team. This new service allows NSDL users to create customized TIPS Bulletins that sends them information on newly added STEM resources culled from both the NSDL Scout Reports and the NSDL central metadata repository. The TIPS Bulletins are being created with the support of a new software tool, the Harvesting and Integration Tool (HIT), which retrieves records from the archives and central repository and integrates them into a specially structured database which are used to produce the Bulletins. The specific project objectives are: 1. Continue to deliver the NSDL Scout Reports and maintain the accompanying archives; 2. Create the TIPS Bulletins and deliver them in a timely manner to end users; 3. Design and build the Harvesting and Integration Tool; 4. Work closely with the Core Integration team to promote TIPS to the NSDL community; 5. Promote TIPS and NSDL to the STEM community, thereby extending and improving access to NSDL collections and services; 6. Collaborate in the development of shared metadata across multiple disciplines; 7. Contribute to the overall digital library knowledge base by working with standard-setting bodies and organizations.
