Abstract

Three years after the launch of the NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital Library
Initiative (DLI) and as the initial period of funding draws to a close,
this workshop was convened to consider the next step in this vein of
research. The very broad title of the workshop, "Distributed Knowledge Work
Environments," was chosen deliberately to encourage thinking that would
transcend current notions of digital libraries. The consensus after the
workshop was, however, that the phrase "digital library" did not overly
constrain another round of advanced initiatives and that the phrase
"distributed knowledge work environments" was unnecessarily broad. It was
noted, however, that the concept of a "digital library" is not merely
equivalent to a digitized collection with information management tools. It
is rather an environment to bring together collections, services, and
people in support of the full life cycle of creation, dissemination, use,
and preservation of data, information, and knowledge. The challenges and
opportunities that motivate an advanced digital library research initiative
are associated with this broad view of digital library environment.

Work on digital libraries aims to help with generating, sharing and using
knowledge. It aims to improve practices of communities so they are more
effective, efficient, productive and maximize the benefits of
collaboration. It seeks to extend the content and utility of digital
libraries to aid existing communities and to facilitate the emergence of
new communities of discourse, research, and learning. Communities in this
case are defined on multiple dimensions: geography, common interests,
values, needs, culture, language, goals, etc.

The workshop sought input from multiple perspectives: technical and
behavioral/social as well as from important application domains. The
participants of the workshop represented different interests and came from
a range of distinct academic disciplines and sectors of society. It
particularly included consideration of the current NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital
Library Initiative: what has been accomplished, learned, demonstrated and
what does this suggest about the need for follow-on activities? What are
the new frontiers opened by the DLI and related work? Like the DLI, it is
proposed that this new initiative should broaden research horizons for
computer science/engineering by linking fundamental research to testbed
construction which is evaluated and refined in real domains of use. It
should strive to produce new knowledge and technology/infrastructure
products which are useful not only in computer science and engineering, but
in many other research and application domains.

The workshop quickly revealed a strong, widely shared sense of the progress
that has been made in understanding the primary digital library issues over
the last three years and of the direction that future work might take. The
Workshop report sets out to map that direction in broad terms, noting first
the promise that participants saw in digital library research (section 2).
It then goes on to discuss the central issues around which it seemed
particularly important to frame future research in order to fulfill this
promise (section 3). It presents this framework under the headings
"System-Centered Issues," "Collection-Centered Issues," and "User-Centered
Issues." (No priority is implied in this order.) It next turns to consider
various interested groups with whom it seemed likely that partnerships
would prove synergistic (section 4). Some of these are public institutions
and some private. The report then reflects the many discussions held about
the structure of future research, including questions of size and duration
of projects (section 5). Finally, it offers some conclusions drawn at the
workshop.

Some desirable distinctions between the current DLI and future programs
include the following: Current DLI, involves broad technical agendas,
experimental, technology testbeds, modest support for content &
collections, narrowly circumscribed context of evaluation, and few
user/usage studies. Suggestions for future initiatives should, by contrast,
have refined technical agendas, real-world testbeds emphasizing
interoperability and integration, increased support for content and
collections, operational systems containing collections of value to domain
applications, broad, multidimensional contexts of evaluation, and
user/usage-oriented focus. Some participants further stressed the need for
more emphasis on the applications of digital libraries. This was proposed
in order to build user support for digital libraries, to deliver value to
teachers and scholars in different contexts, to link up with the commercial
publishing world, and to focus research in the most valuable directions.

There was general agreement over the days of the workshop that any new
initiative should be structured to encompass a "diversified portfolio" of
research, embracing small and large, highly specific and highly general
research trajectories. These would call for strategically structured
funding initiatives involving cooperative contracts and grants with the
various partners suggested in the previous section.
