Abstract: As efforts to integrate and federate digital resources proceed apace, information scientists are learning more about the problems that emerge at different levels of scale and granularity. Building on prior work of the Digital Collections and Content project (DCC), researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) will investigate and implement a systematic approach that confronts these problems and offers robust means for adding value and improving access to existing digital aggregations. Based on over four years of development and research experience, the project has identified new core initiatives that can substantially upgrade the quality of the IMLS digital collection registry and metadata repository for users, as well as, advance the current base of knowledge and practice in the federation of digital collections. Work to date has positioned the project to move into a more highly informed level of development and theoretical work as it continues to test and ground advances in the engineering pragmatics of building, learning, and documenting.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden increase on NLG and LSTA grantees is due to the reporting they will provide to the UIUC study team. This burden is measurable, but rewarding for those who will use and contribute to the digital collections database. It is this database that will provide the library and museum communities with better reporting and shared knowledge of digitization efforts.
