Over three years ago, the Core Integration team of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) implemented a digital library based on metadata aggregation using Dublin Core and OAI-PMH. The initial...
Improving Metadata Quality: Augmentation and Recombination (2004)
Hillmann, Diane I., Dushay, Naomi, Phipps, Jon
Digital libraries have, in the main, adopted the traditional library notion of the metadata 'record' as the basic unit of management and exchange. Although this simplifies the harvest and re-exposure...

Predicting Indexer Performance in a Distributed Digital Library (1999)
Dushay, Naomi, French, James C., Lagoze, Carl
Resource discovery in a distributed digital library poses many challenges, one of which is how to choose search engines for query distribution, given a query and a set of search engines. This paper...
