Abstract

CENDI [1] is a federal interagency working group of 10 programs from nine agencies responsible for scientific and technical information management. CENDI supports federal science research and the public's investment through sound information management and infrastructure development. CENDI agencies have developed individual digital libraries. However, when scientists need information from other agencies, they must search different digital libraries. To achieve interoperability in this heterogeneous environment, CENDI is piloting the Interagency Digital Library for Science and Engineering for use by federally funded researchers. The federated digital library technology being used in the pilot is Broadsword [2], originally developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory at Rome AFB for use within the intelligence community. It supports interoperability at three key levels: searching across heterogeneous platforms, data structures, and search engines; universal log-on; and government security levels. The CENDI pilot involves databases from three agencies containing over 10 million records. While the initial focus is on bibliographic and full text databases, the system can be extended to include other formats and document types.

科学与工程跨部门数字图书馆:美国政府科学家联合数字图书馆试点项目

CENDI[1]是一个联邦机构间工作组，由9个负责科学和技术信息管理的机构的10个项目组成。CENDI通过完善的信息管理和基础设施建设，为联邦科学研究和公众投资提供支持。CENDI机构开发了个人数字图书馆。然而，当科学家需要其他机构的信息时，他们必须搜索不同的数字图书馆。为了在这种异构环境中实现互操作性，CENDI正在为联邦资助的研究人员使用的科学和工程跨部门数字图书馆进行试点。在试验中使用的联合数字图书馆技术是Broadsword[2]，最初由罗马空军基地的空军研究实验室开发，用于情报界。它支持三个关键级别的互操作性:跨异构平台、数据结构和搜索引擎的搜索;通用登录;以及政府的安全级别。CENDI试点项目涉及三个机构的数据库，其中包含1000多万条记录。虽然最初的重点是书目和全文数据库，但该系统可以扩展到包括其他格式和文件类型。

期刊介绍： Digital Library Perspectives (DLP) is a peer-reviewed journal concerned with digital content collections. It publishes research related to the curation and web-based delivery of digital objects collected for the advancement of scholarship, teaching and learning. And which advance the digital information environment as it relates to global knowledge, communication and world memory. The journal aims to keep readers informed about current trends, initiatives, and developments. Including those in digital libraries and digital repositories, along with their standards and technologies. The editor invites contributions on the following, as well as other related topics: Digitization, Data as information, Archives and manuscripts, Digital preservation and digital archiving, Digital cultural memory initiatives, Usability studies, K-12 and higher education uses of digital collections.
