This collections track project is implementing a sustainable single-source digital collection of international environmental and ecosystem policy documents that facilitates knowledge discovery, supports a "rich learning environment" and benefits researchers, teachers, students, diplomats and decision-makers throughout society from global to local levels. Materials for this collection are provided by the Marine Mammal Commission based on their comprehensive five-volume Marine Mammal Commission Compendium of Selected Treaties, International Agreements, and Other Relevant Documents on Marine Resources, Wildlife, and the Environment . Architecture of this digital library is harnessing the exponentially expanding complexity of international documents with automated technology based on the patented Information Management, Retrieval and Display Systems and Associated Methods from EvREsearch LTD. The template for this digital library is the Antarctic Treaty Searchable Database (http://webhost.nvi.net/aspire). To facilitate knowledge discovery "parent documents" are broken into "finite elements" that are tagged with information about their: (a) unique hierarchal location in the digital library; (b) year of adoption; (c) signatory nations; and (d) regime classification. This increased granularity, with tags inserted directly into the finite element, enables comprehensive database searchability. The search results are displayed in user-defined expandable-collapsible hierarchies. An advisory board is providing oversight and guidance for the digital library: (a) design and implementation; (b) evaluation strategies, including the design of the questionnaire; (c) dissemination strategies, including website links as well as CD-ROM distribution with and without cost-recovery; and (d) management in a manner that fosters long-term sustainability. This project involves collaborations with the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE), Digital Library for Water in the Earth System (DWEL) and American Society of International Law. The digital library is hosted and managed in conjunction with the award-winning website at the Byrd Polar Research Center in a manner that ensures its continuous uninterrupted availability. Dissemination of the digital library involves website links to governmental, non-governmental and academic websites, with a particular focus on the "Model United Nations" audience that is represented by more than 30,000 websites on the internet. Additionally, the digital library is distributed from the Byrd Polar Research Center and the Marine Mammal Commission on a CD-ROM that runs automatically without installation. This digital library facilitates knowledge discovery of international environmental and ecosystem policy documents, and provides long-term benefits for education activities, resource management and the basic infrastructure of our society.

该馆藏项目正在实施可持续的单一来源国际环境和生态系统政策文件数字馆藏，以促进知识发现，支持“丰富的学习环境”，并使从全球到整个社会的研究人员、教师、学生、外交官和决策者受益。地方层面。该集合的材料由海洋哺乳动物委员会根据其综合性五卷本《海洋哺乳动物委员会精选条约、国际协议和其他有关海洋资源、野生动物和环境的相关文件简编》提供。该数字图书馆的架构利用基于 EvREsearch LTD 的专利信息管理、检索和显示系统及相关方法的自动化技术，利用指数级增长的国际文档复杂性。该数字图书馆的模板是南极条约可搜索数据库 (http://webhost.nvi.net/aspire)。为了促进知识发现，“父文档”被分解为“有限元素”，这些元素被标记有以下信息： (a) 数字图书馆中独特的层次结构位置； (b) 收养年份； (c) 签署国； (d) 制度分类。这种增加的粒度，以及直接插入有限元中的标签，实现了全面的数据库可搜索性。搜索结果显示在用户定义的可展开-可折叠的层次结构中。咨询委员会正在为数字图书馆提供监督和指导：(a) 设计和实施； (b) 评价策略，包括调查问卷的设计； (c) 传播策略，包括网站链接以及带或不带成本回收的光盘分发； (d) 以促进长期可持续性的方式进行管理。该项目涉及与地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）、地球系统水数字图书馆（DWEL）和美国国际法学会的合作。该数字图书馆与伯德极地研究中心的获奖网站一起托管和管理，以确保其持续不间断的可用性。数字图书馆的传播涉及政府、非政府和学术网站的网站链接，特别关注互联网上 30,000 多个网站所代表的“模拟联合国”受众。此外，该数字图书馆由伯德极地研究中心和海洋哺乳动物委员会以 CD-ROM 形式分发，无需安装即可自动运行。该数字图书馆促进了国际环境和生态系统政策文件的知识发现，并为教育活动、资源管理和我们社会的基础设施提供长期利益。
