2. List, Explain, and Prioritize List -> Prioritize –Actually, brainstorm to be inclusive -> full list –Maybe just need to categorize based on: Urgency? Window of opportunity? Short vs. long term? Applications / Application Domains Technologies –Research areas –Technical (challenge) problems Benefits –From US-Korean collaboration –Justify: impact on science, on (each) society Funding –strategies, tactics, scale/costs –matching, leveraging (including investment in related activities)

3. Charge for Fri 1:30pm Groups What is the problem? What specific part(s) of it can be solved in the short (1yr), medium (3yr), long term (5yr)? What are the dimensions of solution(s)? –Technology, policy, legal, digitization, mgmnt, … What is new? Why invest in solving the problem(s) now? What difference will it make if solved? Who will benefit? How? Who needs to be involved? Why? What resources exist to support this application? How will you know when have succeeded? What are the evaluation method(s)? Deliverables?

4. Cultural Heritage – The Opportunity Korea has large collections of cultural heritage resources that are only available in Korea. They are not available to international researchers without those researchers traveling to Korea. Ancient documents have been scanned for preservation purposes but are available only in image form. (Korea is responsible for this digitization effort.) Even these materials that are available digitally lack conformance with international standards. Language barriers seriously impede usage. Precious ancient artifacts must be preserved before they are lost or destroyed.

5. The Problem, cont’d The US-Korean cultural exchange of information is lop-sided. –Non-conformance to standards –Language barrier –Low proportion of information digitized (most is in page image form) –Lack of metadata support –Complications of character sets and dialects –OCR not up to the challenge

6. The Solution Phase 1 – It’s new & novel! –Build balanced core corpus Text, images (art objects, places, people, rare books…), maps, dictionaries … 3D representations of objects and spaces –Build bilingual resources Dictionaries, lexicons Assemble parallel & comparable corpora –Build best-of-class prototype based on current state of art Demonstrate capability, feasibility, and functionality Establish critical mass of people, infrastructure, and information resources Evaluate sufficiency of current standards –E.g., TEI DTDs for Korean CH resources Prepare for issues of long-term preservation

7. The Solution, cont’d Phase 2 – It’s useful & desirable! –Interoperable applications Extend prototype into educational domain –Language technologies Metadata Build ontologies Refine translation tools Develop scholarly translation resources (commentaries, hand- tooled translations, –Prepare for scale-up Validate architecture (may need some retrofit based on new R&D) Begin the production operaitons User evaluation studies (needs the critical mass of resources)

8. The Solution, cont’d Phase 3 – It’s assumed & unnoticed! –Cross-lingual transparency CLIR Multimedia support Extraction, summarization –Cross-disciplinary research and analysis –Cross-cultural learning and collaboration –Transformation of manual scholarly practice Documents designed for digital library Geo-referenced everything (e.g., all images) Many details –Disambiguation of proper names –Co-reference –Authority control

9. (Some) Dimensions of Problem Policy –Make clear IP arrangements up front and make no compromises –Lock in (what you thought was) the obvious –Once in, never out (only move forward) Technology –Content-based multimedia information retrieval

10. What’s New? Why Now? Maturation of basic DL technologies Globally networked world –Broadband, expanding US infrastructure –Wired & wireless infrastructure in Korea Korean commitment to digitization of cultural heritage resources for global consumption Enlightened self-interest in global conformance to standards and best practices Emerging international DL interests and opportunities

11. Who Benefits? Who doesn’t? Revolutionizes access to high quality information of Korean culture –Essentially inaccessible anywhere in the US today Expands accessibility of American cultural resources to Korea Enables greatly enhanced multicultural education and collaboration opportunities

12. Who’s Involved… Why? Universities Government – Other disciplines emerging as relevant –Cognitive scientists –Librarians

13. What’s needed? Digitized resources produced through government resources (e.g., MIC) Currently existing DL’s for comparable corpora in the west Language technologies existing and under development Coherent leadership (beginning now)

14. How will we know it worked? Quantitative measures (Size & usage statistics) –Number of users –Number of objects –US vs. Korean users Qualitative measures –International usability and usage
