Data Collections • Define the context for describing a collection of digital entities • Context specified by metadata attributes • Provenance, origin of the digital entities • Administrative, location of the digital entities • Technical, purpose of the digital entities • Support organization of attributes as hierarchy of sub-collections
Digital Libraries • Provide services on the data collection • Ingestion, loading of attribute values • Extensibility, definition of new attributes • Discovery, queries on attributes • Browsing, hierarchical listing • Presentation, formatting specified data models
Data Grids • Manage data in a distributed environment • Logical name space, provide global identifier • Data access, storage system abstraction • Replication, disaster back up • Uniform access, common API across file systems, archives, and databases • Single sign-on, authenticate across administration domains
Persistent Archives • Manage technology evolution • Storage system abstraction, support data migration across storage systems • Information repository abstraction, support catalog migration to new databases • Logical name space, support global persistent identifier
SRB • Integration of collection-based management of digital entities, with • Remote data access through storage system abstraction • Catalog access through information repository abstraction • Automation through collection-owned data Storage Resource Broker
Capabilities • Support legacy systems • Integrate archives with file systems • Share distributed data • Maintain persistent collection • Control data access
Digital Entities • Digital entities are “images of reality” made of • Data, the bits (zeros and ones) put on a storage system • Information, the attributes used to assign semantic meaning to the data • Knowledge, the structural relationships described by a data model • Every digital entity requires information and knowledge to correctly interpret and display
Digital Entities • Files • Text documents, images, spread sheets, binary files • URLs • Database query commands • Databases • Directories
Digital Entities • Register digital entities into a catalog • Assign metadata to describe each digital entity • Separate management of the associated data bits from management of the metadata • Support manipulation of each digital entity data type
Technology Management New Application New Operating System Wrap Storage System Wrap Display System Old Storage System Old Display System Migrate Encoding Format Digital Object
Preservation of Data • Migration • Preserve the data bits • Preserve the digital entity name • Preserve the information and knowledge content for presentation by new applications
Migration Advantages • By migrating the digital entity encoding format to new standards, more sophisticated technologies can be applied to express the information and knowledge content inherent in collections of digital entities. • Requires the ability to associate data model with digital entity
Uniform API • Provide common access semantics • Map from the interface preferred by your application to the interfaces required by legacy storage systems

Discovery Transparencies • Naming transparency - find a data set without knowing its name • Map from attributes to a global file name • Location transparency - access a data set without knowing where it is • Map from global file name to local file name • Access transparency - access a data set without knowing the type of storage system • Federated client-server architecture

Persistent Collection • Maintain authenticity • Authenticate all accesses • Assign roles for access control lists (curation, write, annotate, read) • Manage audit trails of all operations • Collection-owned data • All accesses through the data management system

Preservation • Name transparency • Find a file by attributes (map from attributes to global name) • Location transparency • Access a file by a global identifier (map from global to local file name) • Access transparency • Use same API to access data in archive or file cache • Authenticity • Disaster recovery, replicate data across storage systems • Audit and process management (Similar requirements to a data grid)

Technology Convergence • Data grids as basis for distributed data management • Federation of distributed resources • Creation of logical name space to automate discovery • Distributed data collections • Discovery based on attributes • Distributed data storage systems • Digital libraries • Development of services for manipulating, viewing data • Persistent archives • Management of technology evolution
Data Naming Ontologies Concept space Discipline concepts Data grid Global Identifier Collection Discipline attributes Archive / file systems Local file name Data model Attributes that describe data structure
Knowledge Creation • Knowledge syntax (consensus) • RDF, XMI, Topic Map • Knowledge management (recursive operations) • Oracle parallel database • Knowledge manipulation (spatial/procedural rules) • Generation of inference rules and mapping to data models • Knowledge generation (scalable inference engine) • Application of inference rules in inference engine
