As efforts to integrate and federate digital resources proceed apace, we are learning more about the problems that emerge at different levels of scale and granularity. Building on prior work of the Digital Collections and Content project (DCC), we will investigate and implement a systematic approach that...
The Digital Collections and Content (DCC) project is a multi-phase research effort funded by IMLS to explore the socio-technical requirements for a successful digital aggregation. Conceived in 2002 as a combined collection registry and metadata repository aimed to provide a single access point to collections built from digitization efforts funded through IMLS's National Leadership Grant and LSTA programs, the IMLS DCC project explored key digital libraries issues ranging from collaboration...
The Data Conservancy is a $20 million initiative led by Sayeed Choudhury at the Johns Hopkins University Sheridan Libraries. The three-year award, one of the first two in the NSF’s DataNet program, is building infrastructure for the management of the ever-increasing amounts of digital research data. The CIRSS...
The goal of Data Curation Education in Research Centers (DCERC) is to develop a sustainable and transferable model for educating Library and Information Science (LIS) masters and doctoral students in data curation through field experiences in research and data centers. DCERC will establish and implement a...
This project will investigate and implement a systematic approach to developing useful, meaningful, and usable digital collections. Building on the prior work of the IMLS Digital Collections and Content (DCC) project, the researchers will explore how to use the relationships between collection-level and item-...
The Site-Based Data Curation (SBDC) project is a two-year effort to develop a framework of policies and processes for the curation of “site-based” digital research data that responds to the needs of long-tail science researchers and site managers, and promotes coordination with libraries and data repositories. The SBDC framework will be developed by experts in data curation, research library repositories, domain science, and research site management, providing a curation model that includes...
The IMLS Digital Collections & Content (DCC) team has received a $50,000 sub-award from the Digital Public Library of America’s (DPLA) Secretariat to further refine the team’s DPLA Beta Sprint prototype. The Beta Sprint prototype was originally developed during Summer 2011 as part of the DPLA Beta Sprint. The prototype was selected as one of six finalist projects showcased during the DPLA’s Fall 2011 Plenary Meeting in Washington, D.C.
Bringing together resources from over...
The overarching goals of the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) are to facilitate to emergence of a Web and resource-centric interoperable annotation environment that allows leveraging annotations across the boundaries of annotation clients, annotation servers, and content collections, to demonstrate the...
