Tim DiLauro, Choosing the components of a digital infrastructure, First Monday, May 2004. Abstract: "This paper is based on a talk of the same name given at the IMLS–sponsored Web–Wise 2004 conference. The purpose of this paper --as with the talk before it-- is to highlight some issues and help inform the choices associated with developing digital environments within a single institution or among many. While the bulk of this discussion focuses on digital repositories as a key component of the digital infrastructure, persistent identifiers, assumptions surrounding digital preservation, and integration of digital library services are also discussed." Also see a video of the Web-Wise session covering DiLauro, Sayeed Choudhury ("Building the Digital Infrastructure"), MacKenzie Smith ("DSpace, an Institutional Repository System"), and Clifford Lynch ("Perspectives on the Emerging Digital Infrastructure").
