Johns Hopkins University (The Sheridan Libraries- John Hopkins University)

Johns Hopkins University will establish a collaboration of publishers, libraries, and the National Virtual Observatory (NVO) to give astronomers long-term, reliable access to useful data. Incorporating the Web services of the NVO into a digital library framework, this project will provide methods for long-term digital archiving of content that can be used in publishing research in astronomy. The system created by Johns Hopkins and its partners--the University of Washington and the University of Edinburgh--, based on the open-source Fedora digital repository system, will serve as a model for the preservation and use of high-volume data in other fields.
