Digital library 0889Ch11Frame Page 511 Wednesday, April 17, 2002 2:57 PM © 2002 by CRC Press LLC (DL) implementation involves a clarification of procedures for developing and main- taining a secure, scalable, and extendible DL infrastructure that accommodates a diverse array of resources for enabling users to readily retrieve desired data. A DL requires a storage system that maintains vast amounts of information in diverse formats, advanced software for browsing and navigation, intelligent user interfaces, and multilingual services. DL implementations also establish Acceptable Use Poli- cies (AUPs); guidelines for reference services, collection development, and intellec- tual property rights; and copyright procedures for material in digital formats. DLs support curricular enhancements in disciplines that include the earth sciences, math- ematics, engineering, computer science, the arts, the humanities, microbiology, his- tory, and high-energy physics. 11.10 FEDERAL DIGITAL LIBRARY (DL) INITIATIVES 11.10.1 D-LIB F ORUM (DIGITAL LIBRARIES FORUM) Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the D-Lib Forum promotes the creation of an internetworked global digital library system. This system consists of diverse library collections in all types of formats and complies with the Open Archival Information Standard (OAIS) devel- oped by the International Standards Organization (ISO). The D-Lib Forum also promotes utilization of quantitative research methods for benchmarking performance of DL services and evaluating capabilities of DL component technologies. 11.10.2 DIGITAL LIBRARIES INITIATIVE-PHASE 1 (DL-1) AND DL-2 (DL-P HASE 2) Operational from 1994 to 1998, DL-1 (Digital Libraries Initiative-Phase 1) estab- lished approaches for digitizing special collections, such as historical photographs, archival records, sheet music, and museum images, and developing networked digital libraries in disciplines that included earth and space sciences, economics, bio- sciences, geography, the humanities, and the arts. DL-1 sponsors included NSF, DARPA, NLM (National Library of Medicine), the Library of Congress, NASA, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), and the Smithsonian Institution. Initiated in 1999, DL-2 builds on earlier Phase 1 efforts in moving forward with methods for establishing a broadband network infrastructure and storage repositories to enable on-demand access to DL content such as photographic images; 3-D sim- ulations; and historical, museum and scientific slide collections. In Phase 2, approaches for creating digital representations of multimedia; algorithms and intel- ligent systems for cataloging, classifying, and indexing DL content; linking infor- mation objects and documents; and preserving metadata are established. Guidelines for information retrieval, natural language analysis, and knowledge management of large-scale digital collections are developed. Academic institutions that participate in DL initiatives include Johns Hopkins, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, California at Davis, Washington, and Michigan State Universities and the Universities of Michigan and Texas at Austin. 0889Ch11Frame Page 512 Wednesday, April 17, 2002 2:57 PM © 2002 by CRC Press LLC 11.11 U.S. DIGITAL LIBRARY INITIATIVES 11.11.1 C ALIFORNIA 11.11.1.1 California Digital Library (CDL) The California Digital Library (CDL) supports access to statewide multimedia resources and development of an experimental infrastructure for interlinking distributed archival collections.

The DELOS Working Group collab- orates with NSF Task Forces in designing approaches to enable interconnections between the ERCIM DL and DLs in the United States and defines methods that facilitate intellectual property protection, resource indexing, and resource discov- ery in a globally integrated distributed library for the research community. Participants in the DELOS Working Group include the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the 0889Ch11Frame Page 517 Wednesday, April 17, 2002 2:57 PM © 2002 by CRC Press LLC Russian Academy of Science, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 11.14.3 ERCIM MECCANO (MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION AND C ONFERNCING COLLABORATION OVER ATM NETWORKS) INITIATIVE The ERCIM MECCANO (Multimedia Education and Conferencing Collaboration over ATM Networks) initiative supports implementation of a broadband IP-over- ATM network infrastructure that enables IP multicasts and telecollaborative research in mathematics, medicine, and language. Additionally, the MECCANO broadband network platform interoperates with SMDS (Switched Multimegabit Data Service), DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite), and ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) technologies. However, the quality of audio and sound, the speed of transmission, and the degree of interactivity with SMDS, DBS, and ISDN is not equivalent to transmission speeds and services provisioned by ATM technology. RENATER2 (NREN of France, Phase 2) provides technical support and manages network operations for MECCANO links between sites in the United Kingdom and France. Trials benchmarking the capabilities of MECCANO toolsets for novice users are conducted on CA*net II and SuperJANET4 (Super Joint Academic Network, Phase 4) testbed segments. Participants in the MECANNO project include the University of London; the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies; and the Universities of Bremen, Stuttgart, Mannheim, and Oslo. 11.14.3.1 MECANNO MBS (Managed Bandwidth Service) The MECANNO (Multimedia Education and Conferencing Collaboration over ATM Networks) initiative established procedures in alpha and beta tests for setting up MBS accounts, defined operations performed by the ATM NOC (Network Opera- tions Center) in support of MBS functions, and identified and resolved problems associated with internetworking NREN implementations. Alpha and beta trials via the MECANNO platform also confirmed MBS reliability. MBS alpha trials at the University College London, Essen University, and the University of Stuttgart verified MBS effectiveness in provisioning committed bandwidth for VPN implementations and MBS support of interactive telecollaborative research. In 1999, TEN-155 (Trans European Network-155.52 Mbps) conducted beta tests that verified MBS (Managed Bandwidth Service) capabilities in supporting virtual classroom sessions between schools situated in Ottawa and Edmonton in Canada; Dublin, Ireland; Basel, Swit- zerland; and Berlin, Germany. 11.15 TEN-155 (TRANS-EUROPEAN NETWORK-155.52 MBPS) 11.15.1 TEN-155 F EATURES AND FUNCTIONS A successor network to TEN-34, TEN-155 provisioned an international infrastruc- ture for connecting next-generation networking initiatives such as APAN, I2, and 0889Ch11Frame Page 518 Wednesday, April 17, 2002 2:57 PM © 2002 by CRC Press LLC National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in countries that included the Czech Republic, Iceland, Hungary, Norway, Switzerland, and Slovenia. To facilitate development of a pan-European network infrastructure, TEN-155 supported IP mul- ticasts, high-speed multimedia transmissions, advanced telecollaborative research, and implementation of new networking technologies, and VPN (Virtual Private Network) deployments that used MBS (Managed Bandwidth Service). TEN-155 also operated connection points in Amsterdam and Frankfurt for peer-level traffic exchange and employed a combination of IP, ATM, and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) technologies to support interoperable networking applications and projects. DANTÉ (Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe, Ltd.) managed TEN-155 operations. The DANTÉ Network Engineering and Planning Group supported migration from TEN-34 (Trans-European Network-34.368 Mbps) to TEN-155 and initially conducted pilot tests to verify capabilities of high-speed services and applications slated for TEN-155 implementation. In addition to DANTÉ, the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA), and the joint TERENA and DANTÉ Task Force (TF-TANT) conducted tele-education and tele-research applications in the context of the Quantum Test Program (QTP). In 1999, DANTÉ established a 44.736 Mbps (T-3) connection between TEN-155 NRENs and the Abilene network via STAR TAP and the SBC/AADS NAP (Network Access Point) in Chicago. DANTÉ and DFN (NREN of Germany) also formed a Consortium called CAPE (Connecting Asia-Pacific and Europe) to establish interconnectivity between TEN-155 NRENs and major international networks such as APAN. At the outset, TEN-155 implemented an IP network overlay on top of the ATM platform and supported best-effort packet delivery service. However, multimedia services depend on QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees. Because these guarantees were not provided in a best-effort IP network, TEN-155 subsequently deployed MECCANO-supported MBS (Managed Bandwidth Service). DANTÉ enhanced the capabilities of the TEN-155 infrastructure by upgrading the central SDH ring linking NRENs in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands to support increased rates at 622.08 Mbps (OC-12). EuroCERT (European Union Computer Emergency Response Team) provisioned security ser- vices for TEN-155 members. NREN participants in EuroCERT include ACONET (NREN of Austria), ARNES (NREN of Slovenia), DFN (NREN of Germany), Renater2 (NREN of France, Phase 2), SURFnet5 (NREN of the Netherlands, Phase 5), SuperJANET4 (Super Joint Academic Network, Phase 4), UNINETT (NREN of Norway), and RedIRIS (NREN of Spain). It is interesting to note that TEN-155 NRENs transported commercial traffic and traffic generated by research centers and educational institutions. In contrast to TEN- 155, the Abilene and the vBNS+ Internet2 (I2) backbone networks only carry high- performance research and education transmissions generated by I2 entities. The commodity or public Internet supports delivery of commercial traffic and traffic generated by educational institutions and research centers that are not I2 affiliates.
