Project Background

• JHU Sheridan Libraries teaming with the NVO and the AAS to capture published data

• Support curation and entrée to preservation• Stable location for data the journals are not

prepared to store permanently• Provide platform for data services• Funding from IMLS and Microsoft

Motivation

• Mandate to integrate data capture with extant workflow for multiple journals

• Need to capture relationships with resources which are not part of a particular article

• Desire to share risk• Goal of capturing relationships among

conceptual objects and web resources
