Dissertation: Digital Library Repositories
Current libraries use an assortment of uncoordinated and unreliable
techniques for storing and managing their information. Some of their
collections are in paper form, which can decay and can be lost. Digital
information is stored in file systems, Web sites, database systems, and
information retrieval (IR) systems. Typically the systems are good for
some functions but not others. For example, a system may have good text
search capabilities, but not reliable storage. Often information is
stored in legacy systems that are hard to integrate with modern
ones. Across these diverse systems, information is stored in various
incompatible formats, and accessed using different command languages. My
goal is to design and build a modern Digital Library Repository (DLR).
Such a repository stores and manages the digital objects that constitute
the library. My goal is not to replace existing systems (e.g., database
systems, IR systems), but rather to allow existing and future systems to
work together in managing and preserving an interrelated collection of
digital objects (and their versions) in the simplest and most dependable
way. Like any modern information repository, a DLR must be secure,
reliable, and scalable. In addition, a DLR has the following combined key
requirements that distinguish it from other repositories. First, digital
objects (e.g., documents, technical reports, movies) must be preserved
indefinitely, as technologies, file formats, and organizations
evolve. Second, DLRs will be formed by a confederation of independent
organizations. Third, published digital objects have a historical
nature, so changes should not be done in-place; instead, they should be
recorded in versions.
