Library Of Congress Goes Grid: "The Library of Congress wants to test how Storage Research Broker (SRB) Grid technology from the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) can preserve the library's digital collections. The library's American Memory collection alone contains some 7.5 million digital items from more than 100 topics from history and culture, totaling 8 terabytes of digital data in the form of encoded text, image, audio files, and video files. ... Then, library staff will build a pilot collection to test the capabilities of the SRB data Grid middleware for preserving and merging collections, enabling a naming convention, and controlling access."
