  1. DienstDistributed Networked Publishing Carl LagozeDigital Library ScientistCornell University

  2. Cornell Digital Library Research Group (CDLRG) • Research and Development of Component-Ware Digital Library Infrastructure • Developed out of DARPA-funded Computer Science Technical Reports Projects (CS-TR)

  3. Component-Ware Digital Libraries • Service-based infrastructure • Interface (protocol) of each service • Interactions between services • aggregations into logical collections and libraries • Layered approach accommodates requirements of varying clientele • research libraries - high-integrity, quality of service, security • informal collections - e.g., web

  4. CDLRG Research Projects • FEDORA • Distributed Searching and Resource Discovery • Digital Library Collection Definition • Metadata (Dublin Core and Warwick Framework) • Networked Computer Science Technical Reports Project (www.ncstrl.org)

  5. A Production Digital Collection A Vehicle and Testbed for Digital Library Interoperability A Vehicle for Exploring Policy and Organization What is NCSTRL?

  6. A Production Digital Collection • A growing collection of CS research reports • A service relied on by users and publishers • Motivates solving hard, real-world problems: IPR, quality of service, federation of publishers

  7. A Testbed for Technology • Create a modular system based on a standard open architecture • Provide a testbed for demonstrating and testing new digital library components • Work with variety of researchers: DLI, ERCIM, Los Alamos

  8. A Vehicle for Exploring Policy and Organization • Creating a self-sustaining international federated digital collection • Extending the domain and scope while maintaining a coherent collection • Policy issues: charging, IPR, liability, technical quality, relationship • to other DL organizations

  9. Origins of NCSTRL • DARPA-funded CS-TR Project • CNRI, Berkeley, CMU, Cornell, MIT, Stanford • NSF-funded WATERS Project • Old Dominion, SUNY Buffalo, Virginia, Virginia Tech • Other CS Tech Reports Efforts • Harvest, UCSTRI, NZDL

  10. NCSTRL Project Participants • NCSTRL Steering Committee • NCSTRL Working Group • Cornell Digital Library Research Group • The Collection

  11. NCSTRL Steering Committee • Responsible for policy direction, oversight • How to broaden interoperability efforts into broader community

  12. NCSTRL Working Group • Responsible for operational oversight of the current system • Membership from CSTR and WATERS projects

  13. Cornell Digital Library Research Group • Responsible for day-to-day support and maintenance of existing system • Clearing house for technical collaborations • Evolution and Research Directions

  14. Contributing Institutions 105 Institutions in US, Europe, and Asia

  15. Dienst • is a protocol and reference implementation of a distributed digital library service • where a network of services provide • World Wide Web browser access, • uniform search over distributed indexes, • and multi-formatted documents.

  16. Document Handle (URN) decompositions representations logical physical metadata ASCII PostScript TIFF Dienst document model

  17. Exposing the Model through the Protocol • Documents addressable through their URNs • Document service requests • get document metadata • get document formats • get document in format • get document partition (page) in format

  18. WWW browser send search request send document request receive MIME-typed document receive unified hit list Dienst User Interface send site specific search request receive hit list send document request receive MIME-typed document Index Index Index Repository Repository Repository Dienst Services

  19. Exposing the Services through the Protocol • All protocol requests are service specific, • so the functionality of any service can be accessed by another service or a new service.

  20. User Interface Gateway Server Standard Servers FTP/HTTP “Repositories” Gateways to non-Conforming Sites

  21. Use by External Services User Interface Search Engine (Z39.50)

  22. Publishing Using DienstRetrospective Conversion • Scanning of legacy documents • Cornell • MIT • Stanford • Conversion to common formats • gifs • thumbnails • PostScript

  23. Publishing with DienstDigital Originals • PostScript as lingua franca • “thanks Microsoft” • Form submission • author-generated descriptive metadata • Clerical clearing-house • Automatic format conversion

  24. Collection Definition in Digital Libraries • Multiple levels of selection • authors “publish” • repositories have submission policies • search engines index • objects in search engines aggregated into collections • user interface gateways provide access to multiple collections • What is “in” a digital library is defined by what can be found using its resource discovery tools

  25. Defining the Collection -Collection Service

  26. Regional Structure central collection server

  27. Connectivity Regions and Collection Views

  28. Improvements to the Protocol - Dienst 5 • Incremental enhancement to existing interoperability framework • Improved document model • versions • hierarchical part specification • binders (multi-part documents) • Implementation currently under development

  29. Dienst 5 Document Structure • Structure Request • Reveal, in XML, full or collapsed structure of a document • e.g., chapters, sections, figures, etc. • Describe multiple views of a document • e.g., bibliography, content, thumbnails

  30. Dienst 5 Document Dissemination • Disseminate Request • Access to component(s) described by Structure • e.g., disseminate chapter 2 page 5 in PostScript

  31. Supporting Multiple Collections • NCSTRL is currently a single collection • Other users of Dienst protocol • European gray literature, thesis, and dissertation collections • NASA space science • Mediterranean environment data and software • Los Alamos Pre-prints • Expanding the technology to multiple collections through regions

  32. Lessons Learned and Work to be Done • Intellectual property • Quality • quality of collection (reviewing) • quality of metadata • quality of service • Resisting information entropy • Richer “documents” • Archiving and Preservation
