>INTRODUCTION
>
>This activity is supported by the Division of Information and Intelligent
>Systems of the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and
>Engineering, and the Division of International Programs of the Directorate
>for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences. It builds on and extends
>prior Foundation efforts in digital libraries research.
>
>International digital libraries research is intended to contribute to the
>fundamental knowledge required to create information systems that can
>operate in multiple languages, formats, media, and social and
>organizational contexts. To achieve this, collaborative creation of new
>research understandings, tools and ideas exploiting the different
>opportunities offered by materials and technologies in use in different
>countries is strongly encouraged. Research supported under this program is
>expected to:
>
>* identify a collection of information which is not accessible or usable
>because of technical barriers, distance, size, system fragmentation or
>other limits;
>
>* using this as a testbed, create the understanding and new technology to
>make it possible for such information to be found, delivered to and/or
>exploited by a distributed set of users; and
>
>* evaluate the effect of this new technology and its international benefits.
>
>The program's goal is to enable users to easily access digital collections,
>regardless of location, language or formats, and enable broad use in
>research, education, commerce and other purposes. Such a global information
>environment requires research on:
>
>* interoperable technologies for advanced retrieval of many kinds of
>information, including ways of adapting to different formats or
>organizations of databases;
>
>* technology for intellectual property protection in a global marketplace
>the development of linked, compatible databases with inherently regional
>information, such as databases of geographic, botanic, agricultural,
>demographic or economic data; and
>
>* methods and standards for ensuring long-term interoperability among
>distributed and separately administered databases; worldwide data mining
>and self-organizing databases; collective work on preserving and organizing
>domain-specific content.
>
>While there are now uncoordinated efforts in many countries, cooperative
>research can help avoid duplication of effort, prevent the development of
>fragmented digital systems, and encourage productive interchange of
>scientific knowledge and scholarly data around the world.
>
>This NSF effort will fund the US portion of collaborative digital library
>projects among investigators from different countries to foster long-term,
>sustainable relationships between US and non-US researchers and research
>organizations. Cooperating groups in supported projects are expected to be
>balanced in terms of level of effort and expertise, and demonstrate the
>benefits obtainable from complementary and synergistic international
>research. The research strengths of researchers in different countries
>should be combined to facilitate work on complex multi-faceted problems
>relating to the access and use of international distributed and
>multilingual resources.
>
> CONTENT
>
>Proposals should have the overall research goal of enabling users to access
>and exploit information in new ways. Research issues include information
>organization, forms of information distribution, scalability and security
>techniques for worldwide data systems, and tools to search, store, and
>deliver information in different media or languages.
>
>Specific research areas falling under this program are:
>
>* multi-lingual information systems, cross-language retrieval systems,
>language translation, and language teaching software
>* multi-national digital libraries including sound, data, image,
>multimedia, software, and other kinds of content
>* interoperability and scalability technology to permit extremely large
>world-wide collections
>* metadata techniques and tools
>* geospatial, environmental, biological, historical and other information
>systems in which location is highly relevant, including consideration of
>best organizations for such systems
>* preservation and archiving of digital scholarly information, including
>technology and procedures for long-term information asset management
>* social aspects of digital libraries and cross-cultural context studies
>* utilization of digital libraries in educational technology at all levels
>of instruction
>* economic and copyright issues: authentication, payment, rights formalism,
>trust and fair use
>* electronic publishing and scholarly communication technology, including
>collaboratories, online repositories, and new methods of organizing
>scientific knowledge distribution.
>
>These topics are not intended to be totally inclusive, but to illustrate
>and encourage research which opens exciting new research areas, and gives
>promise of user benefit from international research synergy.
>
>
>ELIGIBILITY
>
>Multi-country, multi-team projects are required, and proposals to this
>program must involve at least one research team in the United States and
>one in another country. A project should have a single jointly developed
>proposal from all involved groups, which clearly delineates both the
>division of areas of research and the synergies expected. Each research
>team is responsible for obtaining support for its part of the project. NSF
>will not support the non-US portion of a project, nor the US portion of a
>project not receiving support in the foreign country or countries involved.
>The NSF proposal must contain, in addition to budget(s) for the US team(s),
>information indicating the level of investments and efforts for each
>foreign team. Where desirable, NSF may choose to coordinate review with a
>foreign funding agency and make joint decisions.
>
>Institutions eligible to apply to the NSF supported portion of this program
>are US universities and US non-profit research institutions. Each project
>should not exceed three year's duration with a maximum yearly cost of
>$165,000. NSF funding for this initiative is anticipated to be a minimum of
>$1M annually.
>
>
>PROPOSAL CONTENT
>
>Proposal preparation guidelines are in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide, NSF
99-2.
>Each proposal must include a plan of work explaining:
>* what the primary research questions are,
>* what information resource is to be used in the project,
>* what area will be investigated,
>* who is likely to use the information and for what purposes, and
>* what benefits are expected to flow from the research.
>
>In addition, the proposal must have a clear and explicit management plan.
>This includes:
>* details of how cooperation is to be carried out and coordinated,
>* description of and justification for the partitioning of the research
>activities,
>* processes to be used for coordinating and evaluating progress, and
>* anticipated travel requirements.
>
>Biographical information should be provided for all investigators in the
>collaborative effort, both US, and non-US as described in the NSF Grant
>Proposal Guide, NSF 99-2. Citations to participant publications which
>appeared after July 1, 1998 are encouraged to be given as Web addresses
>only. A letter of endorsement from the foreign counterparts, which
>identifies the source of support for the non-US activities, is required.
>
>
>PROPOSAL EVALUATION
>
>Evaluation criteria applied to all NSF proposals listed in the Grant
>Proposal Guide, NSF 99-2, are:
>
>1. What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? How important
>is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within
>its own field or across different fields? How well qualified is the
>proposer (individual or team) to conduct the project? (If appropriate, the
>reviewer will comment on the quality of prior work.) To what extent does
>the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts?
>How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity? Is there
>sufficient access to resources?
>
>2. What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity? How well does
>the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching,
>training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the
>participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity,
>disability, geographic, etc.)? To what extent will it enhance the
>infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities,
>instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be
>disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding?
>What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society?
>
>In addition, the following criteria will be used for this program:
>
>1. Does the proposal represent new research in the area of digital
>libraries, and does it contain new scientific ideas and methods?
>
>2. Does the project demonstrate the need for and advantages of shared
>international activities, and exploit, as appropriate, new communications
>methods to link its teams?
>
>3. Are the research groups interacting as true collaborators, displaying
>complementary and comparable levels of professional expertise?
>
>4. Does the management plan provide mechanisms for effective
>communication, coordination, progress assessment, and flexibility?
>
>5. Should the research be successful, how many people will benefit from
>the new technology created?
>
>6. Should the research be successful, how will the content be made
>available to communities of users?
>
>7. Do the previous efforts of the research teams demonstrate their
>competence and support their likelihood of achieving the goals of the
>project?
>
> 8. If the work is successful at creating a new information service, does
>the proposal include a plan by which that service will be continued after
>the research funding ends, and how credible is that plan?
>
>9. How effective is the project plan for enabling others to draw upon the
>results of the research?
>
>Integration of Research and Education
>
>One of the principal strategies in support of NSF's goals is to foster
>integration of research and education through the programs, projects and
>activities it supports at academic and research institutions. These
>institutions provide abundant opportunities where individuals may
>concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators, and
>students and where all can engage in joint efforts that infuse education
>with the excitement of discovery and enrich research through the diversity
>of learner perspectives. PIs should address this issue in their proposal
>to provide reviewers with the information necessary to respond fully to
>both NSF merit review criteria. NSF staff will give it careful
>consideration in making funding decisions.
>
>Integrating Diversity into NSF Programs, Projects, and Activities
>
>Broadening opportunities and enabling the participation of all citizens --
>women and men, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities
>-- is essential to the health and vitality of science and engineering. NSF
>is committed to this principle of diversity and deems it central to the
>programs, projects, and activities it considers and supports. PIs should
>address this issue in their proposal to provide reviewers with the
>information necessary to respond fully to both NSF merit review criteria.
>NSF staff will give it careful consideration in making funding decisions.
>
>
>CATEGORIES OF SUPPORT
>
>All awards for this announcement made by NSF will be as grants or
>cooperative agreements to academic institutions and qualified non-profit
>research organizations. Partnership arrangements with other groups in the
>United States are encouraged, including subcontracts with the proposing
>organization.

Subject: AMICO Announces New Members
>> From: "J. Trant" <jtrant@archimuse.com>
PRESS RELEASE: September 24, 1998
ART MUSEUM IMAGE CONSORTIUM
ANNOUNCES THREE NEW MEMBERS
Art Museum Image Consortium announces three new members:
* The Frick Collection (including the Frick Art Reference Library)
New York, NY
* The Library of Congress, Washington, DC
* Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY.
"We're delighted to welcome these new members into the Art Museum Image
Consortium", said Robert P. Bergman, Director of the Cleveland Museum of
American Art, and Chairman of AMICO's Membership Committee. "Developing
membership in AMICO is key to our success. The AMICO Library draws its
strength from the quality and diversity of the collections of AMICO's
members."
These prestigious institutions join the twenty-three art museums from
Canada and the USA that founded AMICO in the fall of 1997. "This is an
unprecedented collaboration among art museums," said Maxwell L. Anderson,
Director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. "Working
together, through the use digital technology, we're able to provide a level
of access to our collections that hasn't been available to anyone before."
Harry S. Parker, Chairman of AMICO, and Director of the Fine Arts Museums
of San Francisco concurred: "It has been less than a year since we formed
AMICO. In that time, we've made tremendous strides towards achieving our
goal of creating the best source for digital information about works of
art."
AMICO is a not-for-profit consortium, dedicated to enabling educational use
of the multimedia documentation of museum collections. Its members are
together creating a digital library that documents their collections, and
making it available for educational use. Samuel Sachs, II, the Director of
The Frick Collection said, "moving within the consortial structure enables
the Frick to forge ahead on its own projects secure in the understanding
that our work will mesh with that of other institutions." Patricia Barnett,
the Andrew W. Mellon Librarian at the Frick Art Reference Library added,
"We'll be able to see much more clearly the inter-relationships between the
works of art that we hold and the text and image research collections that
document and support them.
Already, in a beta testbed, university campuses in the USA, Canada and The
Netherlands are using the AMICO Library. Almost 20,000 works from 22 AMICO
Members are being made available by the Research Libraries Group (RLG) to
18 select university campuses; on each campus, teams of faculty, librarians
and students are engaging in research about the changing nature of art and
image collections in the digital age.
Musing on the impact of the beta AMICO Library, Jeffery Howe of the Boston
College Fine Arts Department, said "This resource is going to change our
perspective on the practice of teaching art history, and although I can't
foresee all the effects, it will be interesting to see how it affects us
during the coming year. =8A the selection of images and artists is extensive
and well chosen, and with enough unfamiliar works to keep me browsing for
hours at a time. I can foresee this collection serving my students well for
paper topics and personal enrichment as well as giving them the chance to
study the required material."
Background information about the AMICO Consortium (including copies of its
agreements, technical specifications), sample AMICO Library records, and a
catalog of thumbnail images of all the works in the testbed Library, can be
found on the AMICO web site at http://www.amico.net/
