Solicitation of Public Comments on a Draft US National Science Board
Report

The National Science Board (NSB, the Board) invites public comments on
the draft
report, Long-Lived Digital Data Collections: Enabling Research and
Education in the
21st Century (NSB-05-40).

The draft report may be viewed and downloaded from the NSB Web site
(http://www.nsf.gov/nsb/meetings/2005/LLDDC_draftreport.pdf).

The draft report provides the findings and recommendations of the Board
on Long-Lived Digital Data Collections. The report arises from the
recognition by the Board of the growing
importance of digital data collections in research and education and
their potential for
broadening participation at all levels. It is intended by the Board as
a first step in
undertaking a broader discussion of the issues.

The Board plans to discuss public comments and revisions to this
document in May 2005.

Comments should be addressed to [log in to unmask] by May 1, 2005.
