Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] EDUCAUSE Live! - NSDL

On Monday, May 8, EDUCAUSE Live! will feature a 1-hour presentation by 
Dean Krafft, Principal Investigator for the NSDL Core Integration 
Project at Cornell University. 1-2pm Eastern Time. No charge, but 
registration required at <http://www.educause.edu/LIVE069>. Abstract:

Since 2000, the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) Core 
Integration team has been creating the infrastructure for a digital 
library of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics resources. 
That library now contains more than a million resources from 
approximately 100 collections. In this talk, Dean Krafft will give a 
short historical overview of the NSDL and describe the current NSDL 
community and participants. He will then review the technical 
underpinnings of NSDL 1.0, a library built on metadata harvesting, and 
describe some of the challenges encountered. For the past year, the 
project has been working on NSDL 2.0, a new version of the library 
built on the Fedora repository architecture. For the last part of the 
talk, Krafft will describe this new library architecture and explain 
how it supports creating context for science resources, how it enhances 
the selection and use of library materials, and what these capabilities 
mean for the users of the NSDL.
