Source Book on Digital Libraries Source Book on Digital Libraries Version 1.0 December 6, 1993 Prepared for and Sponsored by the National Science Foundation Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Division of Information, Robotics and Intelligent Systems (IRIS) Covering a series of NSF Invitational Workshops and Related Information Edward A. Fox, Editor ([email protected]) (C) Copyright 1993 Edward A. Fox and Virginia Tech Preface This report has its origins in discussions Mike Lesk and I had in October 1991, in connection with an NSF-sponsored workshop. With Mike McGill we drafted a White Paper, calling for a National Electronic Science, Engineering, and Technology Library. Since then, many things have changed. Now, the term “Digital Library” is more in vogue than “Electronic Library,” though one might also call it a hypermedia archive or a data/information/knowledge base. Regardless of the name, the intent is clear. Step one is for NSF to play a lead role in launching a concerted R&D program in the area. This is essential, so that any large scale development efforts by the Federal Government, along with state and private agencies, will be sensibly coordinated and undertaken in the most cost-effective and timely manner possible. We hope this initiative will begin in 1993, and proceed into the 21st Century. We feel that it must focus on large scale proto- types, and on setting the stage for a new, open, task-oriented, computer-assisted, type of access to information. Step two involves partnerships, cooperative ventures, and production conversion of back- archives. ARPA, NASA, NIST, Library of Congress, NLM, NAL, and many other groups must become involved if we are to serve the broad base of users, from kindergarten to Nobel laureate researchers. It will only be successful if supported by top-quality research on information storage and retrieval, hypertext, document processing, human-computer interaction, scaling up of infor- mation systems, networking, multimedia systems, visualization, education, training, etc. It is hoped that this Source Book will help show the potential, progress, proposals and planning efforts underway in relation to Digital Libraries --- leading to a large and effective R&D initiative Toward this aim, please send in corrections and additions so we can keep this book up-to-date.. Acknowledgements Keith Tomlin provided typing, editing, formating, FrameMaker expertise, and general secretarial assistance in assembling and organizing this report into a usable form from the myriad pieces we began with. Thanks also go to the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech for making software and resources available to help in this effort, and to the many students, faculty, and staff who assisted in a variety of ways. Finally, thanks go to the numerous people who provided their time in writing the various pieces included, who attended the related NSF workshops, or gave pointers to interesting work. Special thanks go to Mike Lesk and Mike McGill who have worked with me since 1991 on the topic of digital library initiatives, and to Chris Borgman and David Levy for providing lots of helpful texts and files, as well as for their support of the workshops.

    Coach Nick’s Fav Tech Innovators Alan Emtage Innovation - The Search Engine: In 1989, Alan Emtage conceived of and implemented Archie, the world’s first Internet search engine. In doing so, he pioneered many of the techniques used by public search engines today. Coach Nick Says: “The search engine was named after, Archie, a famous comic book that I read as a kid! It changed the way people learn.” Coach Nick’s Fav Tech Innovators Ray Tomlinson Innovation - E-mail: In 1971, Ray Tomlinson developed an e-mail program and the @ sign. He is internationally known and credited as the inventor of email. WVMEN Coach Nick Says: “When I worked in the WV State Department of Education, we started using e-mail in our high schools in 1984 as part of WVMEN, the first statewide micro-computing network in the Nation!” Coach Nick’s Fav Tech Innovators Doug Engelbart Innovation - The Computer Mouse: Doug Engelbart invented the computer mouse in the early 1960s in his research lab at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International). The first prototype was built in 1964, the patent application was filed in 1967, and US Patent was awarded in 1970. Coach Nick Says: “Steve Jobs acquired — some say stole — the mouse concept from the Xerox PARC Labs in Palo Alto in 1979 and changed the world.” Coach Nick’s Fav Tech Innovators Steve Wozniak & Steve Jobs Innovation - The First Apple: The Apple I, also known as the Apple-1, was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. Wozniak’s friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer.

If the discovery process yields pointers to several alternative resources, some means to qualify them and to identify the resource or resoures that provides the “best fit” for the problem at hand.

Indeed, while experiments have continued apace in an attempt to answer various questions such as the appropriateness of particular interfaces, electronic journals have continued to appear. The third edition of the ARL list (Okerson, 1993) contains 45 electronic journals while the first edition, only two years earlier (Okerson, 1991), listed only 27.
