This project is building an Open Archives Initiative (OAI) compliant federated digital library with an emphasis on physics for the National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). This physics digital library will federate holdings from the physics e-print server arXiv (http://arXiv.org), Physical Review D from the American Physical Society (http://prd.aps.org), and the collected holdings from the Technical Report Interchange (TRI) project (http://egbert.cs.odu.edu/tri/html/). TRI includes reports from the NASA Langley Research Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Other holdings are being imported from the Arc project (http://arc.cs.odu.edu).To federate collections with varying degrees of richness of metadata elements poses a number of challenging questions, which the investigators are addressing, in the areas of resource discovery, creation and maintenance of harvested metadata, and economic sustainability. Regarding resource discovery:(1) How do we enable users to search across diverse collections within one common interface without losing the ability of searching with richer metadata elements for collections that support them?(2) How do we address the lack of a uniform controlled vocabulary?(3) How do we map the user's view of the domain into the metadata models of the participating archives?Regarding creation and maintenance:(1) What is the most effective way of keeping the metadata between data providers and the federation service consistent almost all the time? Are the current OAI protocols sufficiently developed and robust enough to support the consistency?(2) How do we address the dynamic nature of the collections?The Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in NSF's Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences is providing significant co-funding for this project in recognition of its emphasis on developing collections and services in the area of physics.

该项目正在建立一个符合国家科学，数学，工程和技术教育数字图书馆（NSDL）的物理学的开放档案倡议（OAI）符合的联合数字图书馆。 该物理数字库将从物理E-Print服务器ARXIV（http://arxiv.org），美国物理社会（http://prd.aps.org）的物理审查D中获得持有量，以及从技术报告Interchange（TRI）项目（http:/eg/egbert.cs.cs.cs.c.c.c.c.c.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.edu.eduy/htri/htriy）中收集的持股。 TRI包括NASA兰利研究中心，洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室和空军研究实验室的报告。 其他股份正在从ARC项目（http://arc.cs.odu.edu）中进口。在元数据元素的丰富程度上以不同程度的元素收藏提出了许多挑战性的问题，调查人员正在解决这些问题，在资源发现，创建和维持收获的Metadata和经济可持续性和经济可持续性和维持经济性和经济可持续性中。 关于资源发现：（1）我们如何使用户能够在一个常见的界面中搜索跨不同集合的搜索，而不会失去搜索的能力，以提供支持它们的收集的较丰富的元素元素？（2）我们如何解决缺乏统一的控制词汇的统一词汇？（3）我们如何将用户的域名映射到元数据中的范围，并维护了什么工程（有效的档案），并遵守了估计的范围？数据提供商与联邦服务之间的元数据几乎一直保持一致？ 当前的OAI协议是否足够发展和强大以支持一致性？（2）我们如何解决收集的动态性质？NSF的数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室办公室正在为该项目提供大量的共同资助，以认识到其在物理学领域开发集合和服务的重点。
