“…Other key ideas include: • demonstrating that, for many purposes, people really can switch fully to electronic documents; • mandating submission to NDLTD once a university is ready for that step, since then the benefits and collections increase more quickly; • adopting standards to facilitate preservation and federated access; and • encouraging universities to work together and share their tools and information, in this domain where competition is minimal while mutual benefit is additive (Fox, 1997(Fox, , 1998Fox, Hall, Kipp, Eaton, McMillan, & Mather, 1997).…”

“…Thus, at Virginia Tech there are a number of development efforts (Fox, Kipp, & Mather, 1998). These involve applying diverse technologies including OpenText's search system, IBM's digital library product, OCLC's SiteSearch software, a locally developed federated search system (Powell, 1998), and even an experimental system extracting the images in electronic theses and dissertations for display in a virtual reality environment (Bayraktar et al, 1998).…”

Successes and Failures of Digital Libraries

• How can we achieve technology transfer from digital library research projects to practical applications? • How can we future-proof our digital libraries in the light of constant and accelerating change in hardware, software, formats, standards, and so on? The four-year NSF/ARPA/NASA-funded Digital Libraries Initiative (DLI) based at UIUC was entering its final year. Thus it was a good time to reexamine the development process. The idea was to use the DLI as a detailed case study from which to derive the questions outlined above in order to serve as a resource for future digital library activities. The focus on the DLI was complemented by external invited speakers giving a wider perspective. We were trying to provide valuable insights for those wanting to develop their own digital libraries. As well as issues that might be typified as theoretical, technological and managerial aspects of digital library research, design, development, and implementation, some are aspects imparting "trade craft." In any newly emerging field, the early developers must do much tinkering in order to pursue their larger theoretical goals. In this way the trade craft of the discipline emerges. These can be rules of thumb, hints, or tricks that improve the development, implementation, or acceptance process. These are the result of considerable trial and effort but individually are often not considered profound enough to merit mention in the published research results. Thus newcomers to the field wishing to replicate or build on the efforts of the early pioneers have to reinvent this trade craft-an unnecessary and wasteful process. As well as presentations, demonstrations of various parts of the UIUC project were made on the second evening, and the clinic was concluded with a chaired general discussion of issues and lessons learned from the DLI and other projects. The keynote address was by Stephen Griffin, program director, Digital Libraries Initiative, National Science Foundation (NSF). He summarized the history of the Digital Library Initiative (DLI-Phase 1) and the lessons learned for the second phase including the need for wider access and development in a larger framework which included content, use, and usability of distributed knowledge generally, as well as more interaction between technologists and librarians and a wider international perspective. Ed Fox reported on the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. He described the ingenious mechanisms the project provides for addressing the concerns of access relating to copyright, patent processes, and prior publication regulations as thesis results are used as the basis for publication in journals. This is an example of the broader mana

“…Many of the synthetic spaces represented in virtual reality systems try to emulate physical spaces. Digital libraries may model traditional libraries by using virtual reality spaces or environments [Bayraktar et al 1998;Neves and Fox 2000]. Also, spaces for computer-supported cooperative work provide a context for virtual meetings and collaborations [Crabtree et al 1997;Prince et al 1999].…”

Digital libraries (DLs) are complex information systems and therefore demand formal foundations lest development efforts diverge and interoperability suffers. In this article, we propose the fundamental abstractions of Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, and Societies (5S), which allow us to define digital libraries rigorously and usefully. Streams are sequences of arbitrary items used to describe both static and dynamic (e.g., video) content. Structures can be viewed as labeled directed graphs, which impose organization. Spaces are sets with operations on those sets that obey certain constraints. Scenarios consist of sequences of events or actions that modify states of a computation in order to accomplish a functional requirement. Societies are sets of entities and activities and the relationships among them. Together these abstractions provide a formal foundation to define, relate, and unify concepts-among others, of digital objects, metadata, collections, and servicesrequired to formalize and elucidate "digital libraries". The applicability, versatility, and unifying power of the 5S model are demonstrated through its use in three distinct applications: building and interpretation of a DL taxonomy, informal and formal analysis of case studies of digital libraries (NDLTD and OAI), and utilization as a formal basis for a DL description language.
