Syracuse University

Syracuse University’s Center for Natural Language Processing in the School of Information Studies, partnering with a team from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), will integrate three digital library tools and services to create a new hybrid, computer-assisted cataloging system, the Metadata Assignment and Search Tool (MAST). MAST will enable libraries and museums to describe and disseminate their digital materials efficiently and link them to state-level educational standards, making these materials fully available in a digital library or searchable through Web services from their own Web sites.
