After seeing the disaster, he wanted to create a machine that would show how technology can lead to understanding instead of destruction.

In 1956, <a href="/wiki/Ford_Foundation" title="Ford Foundation">Ford Foundation</a> funded Licklider to analyze how libraries could be improved with technology. Almost a decade later, his book entitled "<i>Libraries of the Future</i>" included his vision. He wanted to create a system that would use computers and networks so human knowledge would be accessible for human needs and feedback would be automatic for machine purposes. This system contained three components, the corpus of knowledge, the question, and the answer. Licklider called it a procognitive system. </p><p>In 1980 the role of the library in an electronic society was the focus of a clinic on library applications of <a href="/wiki/Data_processing" title="Data processing">data processing</a>.

Traditionally, archives are defined as: </p> <ol><li>Containing <a href="/wiki/Primary_source" title="Primary source">primary sources</a> of information (typically letters and papers directly produced by an individual or organization) rather than the secondary sources found in a library (books, periodicals, etc.).</li> <li>Having their contents organized in groups rather than individual items.</li> <li>Having unique contents.</li></ol> <p>The technology used to create digital libraries is even more revolutionary for archives since it breaks down the second and third of these general rules. In other words, "digital archives" or "online archives" will still generally contain primary sources, but they are likely to be described individually rather than (or in addition to) in groups or collections. Further, because they are digital, their contents are easily reproducible and may indeed have been reproduced from elsewhere. The <a href="/wiki/Oxford_Text_Archive" title="Oxford Text Archive">Oxford Text Archive</a> is generally considered to be the oldest digital archive of academic physical primary source materials. </p><p>Archives differ from libraries in the nature of the materials held. Libraries collect individual published books and serials, or bounded sets of individual items. The books and journals held by libraries are not unique, since multiple copies exist and any given copy will generally prove as satisfactory as any other copy. The material in archives and manuscript libraries are "the unique records of corporate bodies and the papers of individuals and families".<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>A fundamental characteristic of archives is that they have to keep the context in which their records have been created and the network of relationships between them in order to preserve their informative content and provide understandable and useful information over time. The fundamental characteristic of archives resides in their hierarchical organization expressing the context by means of the <a href="/wiki/Archival_bond" title="Archival bond">archival bond</a>. </p><p>Archival descriptions are the fundamental means to describe, understand, retrieve and access archival material. At the digital level, archival descriptions are usually encoded by means of the <a href="/wiki/Encoded_Archival_Description" title="Encoded Archival Description">Encoded Archival Description</a> XML format. The EAD is a standardized electronic representation of archival description which makes it possible to provide union access to detailed archival descriptions and resources in repositories distributed throughout the world. </p><p>Given the importance of archives, a dedicated formal model, called NEsted SeTs for Object Hierarchies (NESTOR),<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> built around their peculiar constituents, has been defined. NESTOR is based on the idea of expressing the hierarchical relationships between objects through the inclusion property between sets, in contrast to the binary relation between nodes exploited by the tree. NESTOR has been used to formally extend the 5S model to define a digital archive as a specific case of digital library able to take into consideration the peculiar features of archives. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="CAD_library">CAD library</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_library&amp;action=edit&amp;section=7" title="Edit section: CAD library"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_CAx_companies" title="List of CAx companies">List of CAx companies</a>, <a href="/wiki/Category:3D_graphics_file_formats" title="Category:3D graphics file formats">Category:3D graphics file formats</a>, <a href="/wiki/Porting" title="Porting">Porting</a>, and <a href="/wiki/3D_scanning" title="3D scanning">3D scanning</a></div> <p>A <a href="/wiki/Computer-aided_design" title="Computer-aided design">computer-aided design</a> library or CAD library is a <a href="/wiki/Cloud_computing" title="Cloud computing">cloud</a> based <a href="/wiki/Software_repository" title="Software repository">repository</a> of 3D models or parts for <a href="/wiki/Computer-aided_design" title="Computer-aided design">computer-aided design</a> (CAD), <a href="/wiki/Computer-aided_engineering" title="Computer-aided engineering">computer-aided engineering</a> (CAE), <a href="/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing" title="Computer-aided manufacturing">computer-aided manufacturing</a> (CAM), or <a href="/wiki/Building_information_modeling" title="Building information modeling">Building information modeling</a> (BIM).

A physical library must spend large sums of money paying for staff, book maintenance, rent, and additional books. Digital libraries may reduce or, in some instances, do away with these fees. Both types of library require cataloging input to allow users to locate and retrieve material. Digital libraries may be more willing to adopt innovations in technology providing users with improvements in electronic and audio book technology as well as presenting new forms of communication such as wikis and blogs; conventional libraries may consider that providing online access to their OP AC catalog is sufficient. An important advantage to digital conversion is increased accessibility to users. They also increase availability to individuals who may not be traditional patrons of a library, due to geographic location or organizational affiliation. </p> <ul><li>No physical boundary: The user of a digital library need not to go to the library physically; people from all over the world can gain access to the same information, as long as an Internet connection is available.</li> <li>Round the clock availability: A major advantage of digital libraries is that people can gain access 24/7 to the information.</li> <li>Multiple access: The same resources can be used simultaneously by a number of institutions and patrons. This may not be the case for copyrighted material: a library may have a license for "lending out" only one copy at a time; this is achieved with a system of <a href="/wiki/Digital_rights_management" title="Digital rights management">digital rights management</a> where a resource can become inaccessible after expiration of the lending period or after the lender chooses to make it inaccessible (equivalent to returning the resource).</li> <li>Information retrieval: The user is able to use any search term (word, phrase, title, name, subject) to search the entire collection. Digital libraries can provide very user-friendly interfaces, giving click able access to its resources.</li> <li>Preservation and conservation: Digitization is not a long-term preservation solution for physical collections, but does succeed in providing access copies for materials that would otherwise fall to degradation from repeated use. Digitized collections and born-digital objects pose many preservation and conservation concerns that analog materials do not. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1033199720">.mw-parser-output div.crossreference{padding-left:0}</style><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><span role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable crossreference selfref">See <a href="#Digital_preservation">§&#160;Digital preservation</a> for examples.</span></li> <li>Space: Whereas traditional libraries are limited by storage space, digital libraries have the potential to store much more information, simply because digital information requires very little physical space to contain them and media storage technologies are more affordable than ever before.</li> <li>Added value: Certain characteristics of objects, primarily the quality of images, may be improved.

Protocols like <a href="/wiki/Z39.50" title="Z39.50">Z39.50</a> are frequently used in distributed searching. A benefit to this approach is that the resource-intensive tasks of indexing and storage are left to the respective servers in the federation.

When a search is performed, the search mechanism does not need to make connections with the digital libraries it is searching—it already has a local representation of the information. This approach requires the creation of an indexing and harvesting mechanism which operates regularly, connecting to all the digital libraries and querying the whole collection in order to discover new and updated resources. <a href="/wiki/OAI-PMH" class="mw-redirect" title="OAI-PMH">OAI-PMH</a> is frequently used by digital libraries for allowing metadata to be harvested.
