04/09/2004 04:01 PM
American colleges are wrestling with changes in the publication of scholarly
journals. In response to rising prices and electronic access
policies, some universities have unsubscribed from
titles , supported open access models , or
issued
public statements about what appears to be a growing crisis in
scholarly publication . Publishers, such as Elsevier , argue that they are
responding to economic and technological changes, and still make
a wealth of material available .

ttp://eprints.anu.edu.au/archive/00002196/01/c_res_pract.pdfExecutive Summary:In the context of the
emerging knowledge-based economy, innovation and the capacity of the
national innovation system to create and disseminate scientific and
scholarly information are increasingly fundamental determinants of
national prosperity. In their foundational work on National Innovation
Systems, the OECD observed that prosperity in a knowledge economy
depends as much, if not more, on the knowledge distribution power of
the system than it does on its knowledge production power (OECD 1997,
p43). This makes the infrastructure supporting research communication
and collaboration, information search and access, and dissemination
and publication a key element of the national innovation system. It is
essential, therefore, to provide cost-effective access to, and
dissemination of scientific and scholarly information in support of
research and its economic, social and environmental applications. This
study examines evolving research practices, focusing on how practices
are changing and what the implications of those changes are for
scholarly communication and the future development of the research
infrastructure. It outlines a coherent agenda for the evolutionary
development of a sustainable research information and scholarly
communication infrastructure.[David Dillard April 4, 2005

"The purpose of the Open Video Project is to collect
and make available a repository of digitized video content for the
digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other
research communities. Researchers can use the video to study a wide
range of problems, such as tests of algorithms for automatic
segmentation, summarization, and
creation of surrogates that
describe video content; the development of face recognition
algorithms; or creating and evaluating interfaces that display result
sets from multimedia queries. Because researchers attempting to solve
similar problems will have access to the same video content, the
repository is also intended to be used as a test collection that will
enable systems to be compared, similar to the way the TREC conferences
are used for text retrieval." The project has demonstrated the
efficacy of many technical processes for organizing, searching, and
scaling video DLs. This has been added to

scholars, students, and institutions by producing multilingual,
multimedia materials for both scholarly research and public viewing
audiences. AODL serves scholars and students conducting research and

lib.org/pubs/brogan/brogan2003.pdfThis 100-page
report, commissioned by the DLF, provides an overview of a diverse set
of more than thirty digital library aggregation services, organizes
them into functional clusters, and then evaluates them more fully from
the perspective of an informed user. Most of the services under review
rely wholly or partially on the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting of
the Open Archives Initiative (OAI-PMH). Each service is annotated with
its organizational affiliation, subject coverage, function, audience,
status, and size. Critical issues surrounding each of these elements
are presented in order to provide the reader with an appreciation of
the nuances inherent in seemingly straightforward factual information,
such as "audience" or "size."

Communitieshttp://kepler.cs.odu.edu/The purpose of Kepler is to give any user the ability to
easily self-archive publications by means of an "archivelet": a
self-contained, self-installing software system that functions as an
Open Archives Initiative data provider. Kepler archivelets are
designed to be easy to install, use and maintain. Kepler is a perfect
solution for those that need to be OAI-PMH compliant, but do not have
the resources for more complex OAI-PMH software installations.
In this web site we
document and
make code available
from an NSF supported project to develop Kepler for communities that
wish to tailor their publication and search services and enforce
configurable standards. Our long-term vision is to provide tools and
software for communities to easily deploy digital libraries that are
customized for their needs, can be populated, managed, and are "open"
for development of future services. This has been added to

06/16/2004 05:17 AMLanguage Engineering for the Semantic Web: A Digital Library
for Endangered Languageshttp://information
r.net/ir/9-3/paper176.htmlAbstract:Many languages are in serious danger
of being lost and if nothing is done to prevent it, half of the
world's approximately 6,500 languages will disappear in the next 100
years. Language data are central to the research of a large social
science community, including linguists, anthropologists,
archeologists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists
interested in the culture of indigenous people. The death of a
language entails the loss of a community's traditional culture, for
the language is a unique vehicle for its traditions and culture. In
this paper, we describe the effort undertaken at Wayne State
University to preserve endangered languages using the state-of-the-art
information technologies. We discuss the issues involved in such an
effort, and present the architecture of a distributed digital library
which will contain various data of endangered languages in the forms
of text, image, video and audio files and include advanced tools for
intelligent cataloguing, indexing, searching and browsing information
on languages and language analysis. Various Semantic Web technologies
such as XML, OLAC, and ontologies are used so that the digital library
is developed as a useful linguistic resource on the Semantic Web. This
