Infrastructure Management White Papers

Digital Library Infrastructure for a University Engineering Community

Overview In the world of the near future, the Internet of today will evolve into the Interspace of tomorrow. The international network will evolve from distributed computer nodes supporting file transfer to distributed information sources supporting object interaction. Users will browse the Net by searching digital libraries and navigating relationship links, as well as share new information within the Net by composing and publishing new objects and links. The Net will thus appear as interconnected spaces of information objects, the Interspace. We propose two concurrent and complementary activities that will accelerate progress towards building the Interspace. These together construct a model large-scale digital library and investigate how it can scale up to the National Information Infrastructure.
