Subject: [archives] Archival Research a Priority in President's Budget
To: "Archives & Archivists (A&A) List" <[log in to unmask]>
The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD)
Program Supplement to the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 has been
released in preprint form.
You can find it here:
http://www.nitrd.gov/PUBS/2012supplement/FY%202012%20Supplement%20to%20the%20President%27s%20Budget%20%28PREPRINT%29%20February%202011.pdf
The supplement describes the President's priorities for NITRD for Fiscal
Year 2012. The report highlights a number of technologies that archivists
and records managers need to address the growing volume of electronic
records.
See especially, pages 12-14.
Here are a few highlights:
pg. 12:
– Information standards: Data interoperability, integration of distributed
data; generalizable ontologies; data
format description language (DFDL) for electronic records and data; data
structure research for complex
digital objects; interoperability standards for semantically understood
ubiquitous health information
exchanges; information services for cloud-based systems
– Decision support: Portals and frameworks for data and processes;
user-oriented techniques and tools for
thematic discovery, synthesis, analysis, and visualization for decision
making;
– Information management: Intelligent rule-based data management; increasing
access to and cost-effective
integration, maintenance of complex collections of heterogeneous data;
innovative architectures for data intensive
and power-aware computing; scalable technologies; integration of policies
(differential sensitivity,
security, user authentication) with data; integrated data repositories,
computing grids; testbeds; sustainability,
validation of complex models; grid-enabled visualization for petascale
collections
Information infrastructure: Technical challenges in building a robust,
resilient national and global digital data
framework; management of the Federal government’s electronic records;
technologies (data transfer, mass
storage) and tools for long-term preservation, curation, federation,
sustainability, accessibility, and survivability
of vital electronic records, data collections, and health records
pg. 13:
From data to new knowledge: Computational concepts, methods, models,
algorithms, and tools to accelerate
scientific discovery and productivity from heterogeneous, ultra-scale data
stores; innovative, multidimensional
approaches to identifying, processing, retrieving, exploring, analyzing,
describing, and visualizing highly
complex data; intuitive display for complex interactions; enhanced
discoverability, availability, interoperability,
usability of data and analysis tools; effective analytical products for
decision makers and the public
Effective stewardship of science and engineering data: Issues in access to
and federation, preservation,
curation, data life-cycle stewardship, and analysis of large, heterogeneous
collections of scientific data,
information, and records; fault-tolerant, scalable I/O
Text Retrieval and Text Analysis Conferences: Evaluation of
information-discovery technologies;
relevance feedback; legal discovery; recognition of opinion in blogs;
entity, web, chemical patent
search; machine reading – NIST, NSF, DARPA, NARA, IARPA
Multimodal language recognition and translation: Improve multilingual
language technology performance in
areas of speech-to-text transcription, spontaneous two-way communications
translation, machine reading, text
retrieval, document summarization/distillation, automatic content
extraction, speaker and language recognition,
multimodal interfaces, usability, language understanding
pg. 14:
Foundations of visualization and analysis: Coordination to consider feature
extraction for anomaly detection;
integration of multiple types of data and records at scale or format; use of
visualization as an interface;
biomedical imaging –NSF, NIH, NIST, NASA, NOAA, EPA, DHS, AHRQ, NARA, other
agencies
NARA: Testbed investigations of: advanced decision-support technologies for
ultra-high-confidence
processing of very large Presidential electronic records collections (with
ARL support); open source-based
access and digital preservation infrastructure; technology-independent
access to, preservation of complex
digital objects, including engineering and science data.
