Infrastructure: there are several models to examine of how to fund
& organize a large, multi-year, multi-person activity
One that intrigues me is: Meeting
Report, May 3, 1999 (from the NINCH National Initiative for a Networked
Cultural Heritage and its project Computer Science and the Humanities)
this group has created an interesting structure of executive directors,
steering committee, working groups, regular mtgs ("workshops") with funding
by NSF and NEH ...
And the structure of currently
funded existing Digital Libraries Initiative Projects are probably
also going to be helpful.
NSF (and others) fund digital library
research... but what about our project would actually be library
research??? (maybe "GOAL C" relates to archival research???)
What is archival cataloguing vs bibliographic cataloguing?
Internet Archive (an archive of historical
snapshots of the web; not directly related, but has good resources.)
Possible resources at ACM: Colleagues Ed Fox and Worthy Martin; ACM's
Special Interest Group on Info Retrieval (SIGIR)
and SIGWEB, and look for
the ACM Digital Libraries conference
Northeast document conservation center (NEDCC)
is about to release a Handbook for Digital Projects: A Management Tool
for Preservation and Access, and sponsors a conference:
