Digital Library Technology


Objectives:

NASA seeks to develop and demonstrate technologies needed to build digital libraries for electronically access NASA science data.

Approach:

NASA funds seven cooperative agreements in digital library technology.

NASA also funds, along with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the Digital Library Joint Research Initiative. This four-year, multiagency effort funds six cooperative agreements. The Joint Initiative was initiated in 1994 and continues through 1998.
