Digital Library: Overview

Introduction • The Internet is changing the way we live and do business. • Opportunities for libraries, governments, and businesses: to better deliver its contents and services and interact with its many constituents – citizens, patrons, businesses, and other government partners. • Exciting and innovative transformation could occur with the new technologies and practices: in addition to providing information, communication, and transaction services. • Review and comparison: but with more focus on digital library + some examples/case studies

Digital Library: Characteristics • No need to leave the home or office: information now readily available on-line via digital gateways furnished by a wide variety of information providers. • Information is multimedia: electronically available in a wide variety of formats, many of which are large, complex (i. e. , video and audio), and often integrated. continue

Digital Library: Characteristics (continued) • Interface to the Web has evolved from browsing to searching: but the commercial technology has remained largely unchanged from its roots in the 1960 s. New research presents new opportunities. • Social impact matters as much as technological advancement: DL projects need to examine the broad social, economic, legal, ethical, and cross-cultural contexts and impacts.

DLI-1, DLI-2, NSDL, JCDL, ECDL, and ICADL: Towards Building A Global Digital Library • NSF Digital Library Initiative Phase 1 (DLI-1), 1994 -1998 • NSF CISE/IIS Special Program, $24 M, NSF, DARPA, NASA funding; Six projects: Stanford, Berkeley, UCSB, Michigan, CMU, UIUC. • Technology focus, new and rich library content; Bi-annual site visits and project meetings. Special activities: IEEE Computer, CACM, JASIS special issues, and many books and book chapters. continue

DLI-1, DLI-2, NSDL, JCDL, ECDL, and ICADL: Towards Building A Global Digital Library (continued) • NSF Digital Library Initiative Phase 2 (DLI-2), 1998 -2003 • NSF CISE/IIS Special Program, $60 M, 1998 -; NSF, DARPA, NLM, Lo. C, NASA, NEH; 20+ projects: Stanford, Berkeley, UCSB, CMU, Arizona, and many others. • Strong focus on integration of technologies, contents, and service. Annual NSF all-PI meeting with JCDL. continue

DLI-1, DLI-2, NSDL, JCDL, ECDL, and ICADL: Towards Building A Global Digital Library (continued) • National Science Digital Library (NSDL), 2000 • NSF CISE/IIS Special Program, $45 M, 60+ projects: Strong education focus in many different application domains. • Annual NSF all-PI meeting in DC. Core Integration effort: Cornell (Open Archive Initiative), UCAR, U. Mass. , etc. • Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL), 1996 • ACM DL Conferences and IEEE DL Conferences, 1996 -2000. • JCDL 2001, Virginia, E. Fox; JCDL 2002, Oregon, G. Marchionini; NSF DLI-2 all-PI meeting held after JCDL. continue

DLI-1, DLI-2, NSDL, JCDL, ECDL, and ICADL: Towards Building A Global Digital Library (continued) • European Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL), 1997 • Many working group meetings held in different DL sub-areas. • International Conference of Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL), 1998 • ICADL 1998, Hong Kong, J. Yen; ICADL 1999, Taipei, Taiwan, Hsueh-hua Chen; ICADL 2000, Seoul, Korea, Key-Sun Choi; ICADL 2001, Bangalore, India, Shalini R. Urs (600 people); ICADL 2002, Singapore, S. Foo and E. Lim (450 people); ICADL 2003, KL, Malaysia, Baba • Local content, cultural heritage, education and deployment, multilingual retrieval, other new technologies; Many other national programs: China, India, Russia, Japan, etc.

Digital Library: Challenges • Cultural and historical heritage: Many digital library and museum collections contain artifacts that are fragile, precious, and of historical significance. • Heterogeneity of content and media types: Digital library collections have the widest range of content and media types, ranging from 3 D chemical structures to tornado simulation models, from the statue of David to paintings of Van Gogh. continue

Digital Library: Challenges (continued) • Intellectual property issues: Unlike digital government or e-commerce applications that often derive their own content, digital libraries provide content management and retrieval services to many different information creators. • Cost and sustainability issues: Many patrons often would like library services to be “free” or at least extremely affordable. • Universal access and international collaboration: Digital library content is often of interest to not just people in one region, but possibly all over the world.

Digital Government and E-Commerce: Overview

Digital Government: Characteristics • Multi-faceted roles of Federal Government: Government as a major user of information technologies, a collector and maintainer of very large data sets, and a provider of critical and often unique information services to individuals, states, businesses, and other customers. • Potential for nearly ubiquitous access: to government information services by citizen/customers • Re-inventing the government: Enhancements derived from new information technology-based services can be expected to contribute to reinvented and economical government services, and more productive government employees.

Digital Government: US Government Goes Electronic • 1986 Brooks Act amended: reducing government costs through volume buying, including IT purchases. • 1996 Information Technology Management Reform Act: Establishing the CIO position to manage IT resources. • 1998 Web. Gov portal: announced in August 1998, failed and replaced by First. Gov portal after technology donation from Inktomi. • 2000 Federal Rehabilitation Act: Requiring all IT products be accessible to the disabled. continue

Digital Government: US Government Goes Electronic (continued) • 2000 First. Gov portal unveiled in June 2000. • 2001 National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy No. 11: Mandating off-the-shelf software used in defense be evaluated by an approved third party (NSA). • 2001 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA): Requiring health care information in compliance with privacy regulations • 2002 E-Government Act: Funding additional e-government initiatives and creating Office of Electronic Government.

Digital Government: Research Programs • NSF DG Program, 1998 - : areas such as: law enforcement information sharing, citizen access to government statistical data, and comprehensive emergency management; Digital Government Research Center (DGRC) and annual NSF-sponsored Digital Government Conference (DG. O) • EU: areas such as: online public service for information content; politics, e-democracy, e-voting; transactions, security, and digital signatures for e-government. • Other regions: Many ongoing e-government (G 2 C) initiatives have also emerged in Asia and Pan-Pacific countries such as: China, Singapore, Japan, Korea, India, New Zealand, Australia, etc. E-government projects in Latin American countries have also been reported.

Digital Government: Challenges • E-commerce is not at the heart of e-government: The core task of government is governance, the job of regulating society, not marketing and sales. • Organizational and cultural inertia: Most government entities are not known for their efficiency or willingness to adopt changes. • Government laws and legal regulations: Although well-intended, such laws and regulations often inhibit innovation or thinking “out-of-the-box. ”

Digital Government: Challenges (continued) • Security and privacy issues: Government-provided services have an extra burden of guaranteeing security and privacy for citizens. • Disparate and out-dated information infrastructure and systems: Many government departments at all levels often face budget shortfalls for years. • Lack of IT funding and personnel: Some government units (local, state, and federal) are affluent, but most are not. IT spending often is not a priority.

E-Commerce: Characteristics • Business/commercial initiatives: From Fortune 500 companies to Internet start-ups, from self-funded dotcoms to ventures funded by influential VCs (unlike digital library or digital government research). • Quick evolution and extensive coverage in many magazines and newspapers: Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR), Total Quality Management (TQM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply-Chain Management (SCM), Knowledge Management (KM), Customer Relation Management (CRM), etc.

E-Commerce: Challenges • Internet time or library/government time: In a competitive business environment, “Internet time” often demands a business to act on its instinct and to take risks. • Build it, but will they come: With the intense business pressure to perform and significant injection of funding (at least before the Internet bubble burst), many companies invest significantly in major Internet-based e-commerce infrastructure and product initiatives. • True innovations or marketing hypes: With the fast moving and sometimes impulsive business behaviors, marketing hypes are often disguised as true innovations.

The Information-Communication. Transaction-Transformation (ICTT) Continuum: The Path to Innovation • Information: content (e-library) • Communication: interaction (e-government) • Transaction: process and rule (e-commerce) • Transformation: innovation (all)

ICTT: Information • Definition: Library, government or business “information” is created, categorized, and indexed and delivered to its target audiences through the Internet. • Core competency of digital library research and services: metadata generation, data creation and management, content management, interoperability, system interfaces, etc. • Many early G 2 C (government-to-citizen), G 2 B (government-tobusiness), and B 2 C services deliver information only: governments and business portals act as information (about regulations and products) providers.

ICTT: Communication • Definition: E-services support two-way “communication, ” whereby customers or citizens can communicate their needs or requests through web forms, email, or other Internet media. • Core function for e-government: by providing effective communication channels to citizens. • Many early B 2 C, G 2 C and G 2 B applications quickly evolved into such communication services: by adding simple web-based groupware functionalities such as web forms, email, bulletin boards, chat rooms, etc. • Computer-Supported Collaborative Systems (or groupware) and recommender systems: can significantly improve communication services for all digital library, digital government, and e-commerce applications.

ICTT: Transaction • Definition: Citizens and businesses are supported in conducting “transactions. ” • Transaction is the essence of e-commerce: “You are not successful unless they buy. ” Many businesses support transactions among their suppliers (B 2 B) or customers (B 2 C) through ERP, SCM, and CRM systems. • Digital government could support “citizen transactions: ” such as income tax filing & returns, municipal service requests and tracking, business license applications and payments, etc. • Significant adaptation needed for e-government and digital library: to be cost-effective for non-commercial applications. (Most governments and libraries cannot afford SAP R 3!)

ICTT Continuum: Transformation • Definition: There is an opportunity for “transformation” for libraries, government agencies, and businesses through new technologies. • Digital libraries: Traditional libraries need to re-examine their content management and service delivery assumptions and practices. • E-Commerce: Business consulting professionals are creating new methodology and best practices to take advantage of the new business opportunities. • E-government: New information technologies and innovative processes could significantly enhance many facets of the governments, e. g. , epolitics and e-voting, law enforcement and litigation support, etc.

Problem (PBG) • Title Key roles for E 2 F 1 in signaling p 53 dependent apoptosis and in cell division within developing tumors. • Abstract: Apoptosis induced by the p 53 tumor suppressor can attenuate cancer growth in preclinical animal models. Inactivation of the p. Rb proteins in mouse brain epithelium by the T 121 oncogene induces aberrant proliferation and p 53 -dependent apoptosis. p 53 inactivation causes aggressive tumor growth due to an 85% reduction in apoptosis. Here, we show that E 2 F 1 signals p 53 -dependent apoptosis since E 2 F 1 deficiency causes an 80% apoptosis reduction. E 2 F 1 acts upstream of p 53 since transcriptional activation of p 53 target genes is also impaired. Yet, E 2 F 1 deficiency does not accelerate tumor growth. Unlike normal cells, tumor cell proliferation is impaired without E 2 F 1, counterbalancing the effect of apoptosis reduction. These studies may explain the apparent paradox that E 2 F 1 can act as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor in experimental systems Expert errs and corrects Final graph

Example: Combination Inactivation of the p. Rb proteins in mouse brain epithelium by the T 121 oncogene induces aberrant proliferation and p 53 -dependent apoptosis Agent Of-template: By-template: Combo: Action null inactivate T 121 oncogene Theme p. Rb proteins null inactivate p. Rb proteins
