NASA will promote the development and deployment of digital libraries within the National Information Infrastructure in partnership with other Federal agencies. NASA's approach in pursuing this objective is based on unique NASA requirements and technology contributions, as well as on the more general advanced technology requirements of National Challenge applications.
NASA continues to participate in digital library technology research and development efforts begun under the NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice, "Public Use of Earth and Space Science Data Using the Internet", and the NSF/ARPA/NASA joint initiative "Research on Digital Libraries". A second Cooperative Agreement Notice for research and development in digital library technology was planned to be issued in conjunction with the applications of Remote Sensing Data project. Successful cooperative efforts resulting from this solicitation will complement ongoing work. NASA will work with aircraft and propulsion companies to facilitate the transfer of NASA HPCC-developed technology to users in major U.S. aerospace companies. This will be accomplished through projects to implement tools facilitating transmittal of proprietary data over networks. NASA will enable aeronautics community collaboration with NASA facilities without jeopardizing the confidentiality of competitive or proprietary data. This will be accomplished through an Authentication and Privacy project using systems analysis, integration and technology transfer to implement secure transmittal of remotely acquired aeronautics data. |
