  2. Outcomes of the IMLS Digital Library Forum • Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collectionshttp://www.imls.gov/pubs/forumframework.htm • Stresses reusability, persistence, interoperability, verification, and documentation of digital collections • Agreement with NISO to maintain Framework as an information standard (Nov. 2003) • DL Forum report, including recommendations encouraging: • Creation of an IMLS Collection Registry • Implementation of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting by IMLS projects • Development of infrastructure to facilitate interoperability between IMLS projects and initiatives like NSDL t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  3. Collection description and registry for National Leadership grant projects with associated digital content • Enhance discoverability; all registry fields searchable • Item level metadata repository via OAI-PMH • Demonstrate potential of metadata for interoperability • Serve as testbed for IMLS projects interested in OAI-PMH • Facilitate reuse of information resources • Research question:How can resource developers best represent collections and items to meet the needs of service providers and end users? t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  4. IMLS Grantees -- A Diverse Community • Wide variation in technical skills and technology infrastructure & policy • Mix of library, museum, and archive traditions • Diverse perspectives on intellectual property policy; use and presentation of metadata and primary resources • Diverse embedded knowledge structures • Wide range of vocabularies and descriptive practices • Metadata created for diverse purposes • Local vocabularies for type, subject, coverage, audience • Wide range of granularity t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  5. Institutional Diversity • 95 NLG projects (as of 2002) with associated digital collections • 51 of these are/were collaborative projects • All together 237 institutions involved t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  6. OAI Readiness Among NLG Projects t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  7. Current Projects Addressing Similar Issues NSDL Digital library of resource collections and services, organized in support of science education at all levels. NOF-Digitize /EnrichUK Description and aggregation of digitized collections funded by the New Opportunities Fund Minerva Project Creating an agreed European common platform, recommendations and guidelines about digitization, metadata, long-term accessibility and preservation t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  8. Collection Registry • Collection-Level description schema based on RSLP & DCMI working group • NLG projects surveyed to collect information for initial population of registry • Projects will be able to edit & update records online • Browseable & fully searchable t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC

  9. Metadata Repository • Currently Harvesting: • 17 Collections • 77,816 Metadata Records • Will be linked to Collection Registry • Ongoing analysis of metadata • Documenting practices • Potential for normalization • Implications for interface & search engine design t-cole3@uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at UC
