RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Information Standards
Aggregate File Formats: primary author of the BagIt packaging format for disk-based or network-based storage and transfer of generalized digital content; co-author of the WARC (Web Archive) file format published as ISO 28500:2009; Standards Group lead for the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC); member of the IIPC Technical Committee
Metadata Semantic Standards: primary author of RFC 5013 Dublin Core (DC) metadata specification; founder and chair of the DC Kernel Metadata workgroup; chair of the National Information Standards Organization committee that moved the DC metadata specification to approval as NISO Z39.85 (2001); co-author and editor of the original DC metadata specification, RFC 2413; member of the DC Advisory Board; chair of the DC Agents and DC Date working groups; inventor in 1992 of the Z39.50 Info-1 generic attribute and element set, a precursor of DC
Metadata Syntax Standards: author of the specification for encoding Dublin Core in HTML, RFC 2731; author of the ANVL (A Name Value Language) specification for simple labels and values in the style of RFC822; author of the TEMPER specification for dates; inventor of the Z39.50 Generic Record Syntax (GRS)
Uniform Resource Identifiers: in the context of the URI working group of the IETF, coined the term, URC (originally Uniform Resource Citation); contributed substantively to the URL standard itself, which includes authoring RFC 1736, functional requirements for the URL; led the creation of RFC 2056 describing Z39.50 URLs
Electronic Permanence
Digital Curation Tools: conceived a number of standalone tools, some incorporated into the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) specification, that support curation and preservation as embedded, distributed infrastructure rather than as part of a monolithic repository system that imposes a single archival culture on digital collections: Pairtree, Dflat, ReDD, Checkm, Namaste, CAN (Content Access Node); wrote and documented portable open-source software to support the tools; co-authored the curation micro-services approach being implemented at the California Digital Library (CDL)
Dataset Preservation: in December 2006 did a six-week Digital Curation Centre (DCC) fellowship with the Database Research Group at the University of Edinburgh, consulting with directors and staff at all four DCC sites regarding database preservation requirements and strategies; Preservation Group lead on a winning NSF DataNet proposal (led by University of New Mexico)
Web Archiving: wrote the core service vision in a winning NDIIPP grant proposal to the Library of Congress to create a service allowing curators to harvest and preserve web sites on demand, creating a geographically replicated archive that they can annotate, browse, and search; results of this 3-year grant used to advise congress on a national preservation strategy; provided critical technical leadership throughout implementation of CDL’s web archiving service, including technical collaboration with grant partners (e.g., UNT, NYU)
Permanence Ratings: defined the framework for and participated centrally in the US National Library of Medicine’s multi-dimensional specification of permanence levels (about object availability, content invariance, and identifier validity); this work was published and the framework adopted by the US National Agriculture Library; built on this work for ARK persistence statements
ARK Persistent Identification Scheme: at NLM, analyzed 1998-era persistent naming schemes (URN, DOI, PURL, PDI), and formulated a new scheme, the Archival Resource Key (ARK), founded on the principle that persistence is purely about the service commitments of current object holders, not scheme syntax or the intent of name assigners that have no extant object service responsibility
Persistent Identifier Infrastructure and Outreach:
at CDL, built a generalized identifier minting, binding, and resolving system (“noid”) that produces random, unique, non-sequential identifiers designed for permanence; these are compact, transcribable, semantically opaque, and furnished with a check character that guarantees each in the face of single digit and transcription errors; built and prototyped with a set of international partners the Name-To-Thing (N2T) resolver as a low-cost, low-risk consortially owned resolver for hundreds of identifier schemes (ARK, DOI, URN, PDB, etc.); gave talks on these subjects at international meetings; founded the ARK Alliance (arks.org) to sustain ARK infrastructure
Networked Information Systems
THUMP Protocol: designed The HTTP URL Mapping Protocol (THUMP), a set of URL-based conventions for retrieving information and conducting searches using a simple procedure call syntax in the URL query string and an ANVL syntax for returned records; worked with researchers at RENCI to extend it for dataset queries
Z39.50 Protocol: at UC Berkeley, designed, wrote, and released the first complete Z39.50 client and server protocol engine, participating in the first three-way interoperability demonstration at NET ’92 with UC Office of the President (UCOP) and Penn State; worked within the Z39.50 Implementors Group to create and win adoption of the Generic Record Syntax in support of non-bibliographic applications; at NLM, designed and wrote a Z39.50 server for the MEDLINE database, and designed a generalized thesaurus mechanism (Structured Vocabulary Browse) to work with NLM’s MeSH headings; at UC San Francisco (UCSF), directed a team of programmers in developing a Web interface and HTTP/Z39.50 gateway to MEDLINE; for UCOP, developed the first production instance of the Web-based MELVYL system’s access methods for external Z39.50 databases (in this case, to PreMEDLINE running at NLM)
Online Information Systems: proposed, designed, wrote, and maintained in production a client-server CWIS information system, Infocal, which provided the first general online access to UC Berkeley’s main administrative datasets (schedule of classes, course catalog, phone directories, job vacancy listings, press releases); in the pre-Web era, this required extensive liaison with management and staff of campus units that maintained these datasets, and who were intimidated by information technology, unsure of the benefits of online access, and anxious about losing control over their data; Infocal was also an early client (1992) of both the Z39.50 and Web protocols (HTTP, Gopher, FTP)
Computer Aided Instruction: designed, wrote, and maintained the Berkeley UNIX help system, a general-purpose online information system for exploring documentation files, directories, and executables (it had a user interface foreshadowing that of the Gopher browser); revived and significantly enhanced the UNIX learn program, a hypertext-based teaching tool from Bell Labs (late 1970s); both help and learn were disseminated globally with 4.2/4.3BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution); by 1982 the production help documentation tree was replicated on a daily basis across about twenty file servers on the Berkeley campus network
Digital Libraries
Tobacco Control Research Collection: at UCSF, architected the American Legacy Foundation-funded Legacy National Tobacco Documents Library, some 40 million page images released by court order from the world’s major tobacco companies; during the implementation phase, focused on problems of poor indexing, corrupt or missing data, and incorporation of new material via web crawlers from ever-changing industry sites; wrote the main software components that support access via persistent identifiers and the browsing of individual document pages
Tobacco Document Digitization: created a detailed processing specification for digitizing shops to use in converting paper documents into standardized digital objects suitable for incorporation into digital library collections; this included scanning to create page images, OCRing to extract searchable text, and indexing (the hand-keying of metadata such as author, title, etc.)
Search Engine: wrote a new digital library searching and ranking engine designed to fill the gap between full text engines and fielded search systems, and to scale to millions of objects; the resulting system, tested on 1.5 million text objects and their metadata, performed fast boolean searching with wildcards and term list scanning
Electronic Publishing: managed the subscription-based electronic publication of the UC Press book, “The Cigarette Papers”; this experiment explored technical and marketing aspects of online publishing with access fees
Printer Cost Recovery: at UCSF, architected a network-based charging mechanism for publicly available print stations, a problem that plagued libraries across the country; the resulting system was probably the first low-cost solution enabling the library directly to manage all aspects of the authorization and routing technology involved
Authentication Infrastructure: at UCSF, architected the development of a network-queryable campus authentication infrastructure, requiring coordination with the campus units that supply payroll and student registration data on an ongoing basis; oversaw the development of various campus proxy servers
Computer Operating Systems
Performance Analysis: wrote programs to summarize and plot UNIX 4.2BSD file system activity; debugged kernel traces and a multi-strategy cache simulator based on them (presented at ACM SigOps, 1985)
Heterogeneous Distributed Systems: worked on a project (1985) to bring up ULTRIX and VMS clients on a network of fully sharable computing resources, including file servers and print servers; wrote ULTRIX kernel code to implement a transport-level network interface, consisting of routines to generate server-side programs in a simple network command language
Command-Level Operating System Primitives:
conceived a method of general-purpose software tool design; wrote three UNIX tools distributed with 4.2/4.3BSD using this method (Master’s Degree Project, 1983); these tools (“jot”, “rs”, and “lam”) are distributed in current Mac OS X systems
VLSI Coprocessor Design: worked on the design for a decimal coprocessor that IBM implemented along with Micro/370, an IBM/370 architecture on a chip; wrote and tested microcode for the decimal EDIT AND MARK instruction (1984)
Terminal Capability Database: in the early 1980’s, maintained the Berkeley UNIX termcap file for a period of about five years; this file remains an integral part of modern Linux and other UNIX-based systems
Communication/Instruction
Community Service: chaired the Digital Library Federation’s (DLF) Developers Forum from 2005-2008, bringing it from near-extinction to thriving success; participated as panel organizer, as session chair, and/or as member of program committee for numerous conferences and meetings, such as PIDapalooza, IWAW, Open Repositories, iPRES, JCDL, ECDL, etc.; for several years presented at and advised the CENDI Persistent Identification Task Group (E-Government) Chaired the NSF DataONE Preservation and Metadata Working Group 2009-2014.
Intellectual Property: consulted with the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva regarding design of a federated IP digital library (covering patents, trademarks, designs, and traditional knowledge), and developed a proof-of-concept demonstration system
Instructional Support: at UCSF, managed the creation of a flexible software system for faculty to author and maintain course home pages
Instruction: at UC Berkeley, accrued ten years’ experience in general consulting (advising) with users, students, and programmers on UNIX and IBM CMS; teaching assistant for undergraduate computer architecture; seven years’ experience designing and teaching courses on UNIX and CMS; outside UCB, gave several week-long corporate training sessions (at AT&T, NCC, IRS) on Common Lisp and UNIX
SIGWEB: created and organized a 400-person, all-day event at UCB for the SF Bay Area special interest group in state of the art network information retrieval applications; recruited most of the speakers and presented at this 1994 meeting
Common Lisp: as a private consultant, was designer and principal author of the 899-page manual, Common Lisp: the Reference (Addison-Wesley, 1988); supervised two co-authors for this work
PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
7/22 to present
SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE − Drexel University
Guided students and interns in the ongoing development of the YAMZ.net metadictionary and its use of ARK identifiers while leading the ARK Alliance expansion to over 1700 organizations.
1/14 to 7/22
IDENTIFIER SYSTEMS ARCHITECT − UCOP CDL
Led the expansion of the EZID.cdlib.org identifier service, the N2T resolver, and the YAMZ.net metadictionary. Added a formal agreement between n2t.net and identifiers.org to support compact identifiers for over 700 identifier schemes. Founded and led the ARK Alliance (arks.org) to sustain the ARK technical specification, its supporting registry, and the global ARK resolver. There are now over 1200 ARK organizations, including 10 national libraries, 145 universities, 184 archives, 75 journals, and major museums such as the Louvre, Smithsonian, and Frick.
1/10 to 1/14
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, UC CURATION CENTER − UCOP CDL
Provided leadership, strategy, and vision for creation of CDL’s approach to curation of research datasets and scholarly digital assets. Author of a number of micro-service specifications, including Pairtree, ReDD, Checkm, Namaste, and chief designer of the EZID identifier service and N2T resolver system. For the NSF DataONE initiative, I was technical lead on two of the first six NSF DataONE member node repositories (at CDL), leader of the Preservation and Metadata working group, member of the Leadership Team, and Core Cyberinfrastructure Team. I was heavily involved in the design and specification of the award-winning DataUp tool for curating spreadsheet data (CDL partnership with Micrsoft Research) and a simple approach to publishing data papers. Co-Lead on the implementation of YAMZ, an online crowdsourced metadata dictionary.
2/03 to 12/09
PRESERVATION TECHNOLOGIES ARCHITECT − UCOP CDL
While leading strategic and technical aspects of the digital preservation program at CDL, I authored a web archiving service vision for a winning grant proposal ($2.4M) from the Library of Congress. I was technical lead for that project and worked at several levels on the design and implementation of CDL’s digital preservation repository. During this time I represented the CDL at the national level (NIH/NLM, NARA, GPO) and international level (British Library, DCC (UK), National Library of Canada, National Library of France, etc). I also served as CDL technical representative to national and international standards bodies (NISO, IETF, Dublin Core) and consortia (IIPC, DLF, W3C) and provided leadership for CDL’s Advanced Technology Group and programmer teams at NYU and UNT.
5/01 to 1/03
DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL PLANNING, LNTDL − UCSF CKM and UCOP CDL
While maintaining a partial appointment with the California Digital Library (CDL, at UC Office of the President), I provided technical leadership for the Legacy National Tobacco Documents Library hosted at the UC San Francisco Library and Center for Knowledge Management. Already the most important center for tobacco control documents, the UCSF Library was selected for this enormous new data set and I was asked in August 2000 to draft the initial collection architecture. I went on to architect and implement a major new and significantly different collection, detailing the outsourced processing requirements and developing a new search engine and interface.
At UCOP, I worked with the content management infrastructure group on defining persistent identifiers and common metadata in an attempt to consolidate and rationalize management of a diverse group of existing CDL datasets. There was also a strategic education (UC wide) and planning (eg, for open source library tools) component.
5/98 to 4/01
CONSULTANT, MEDICAL INFORMATICS − UCSF CKM and the NLM
Received a three-year grant (somewhat resembling a fellowship) from the NLM to research persistent naming on the internet and to advise NLM on what to do about electronic permanence. Across a range of proposals and literature, I analyzed methods, algorithms, performance, support implications, and social and institutional impacts. My initial recommendation resulted in the formation of an NLM group to define aspects of permanence directly relevant to NLM and designated for review by the Library of Congress and the National Agriculture Library. I also served as editor of this group’s permanence rating specification and was a member of a follow-on group formed to create a plan for implementing permanence at NLM. My final recommendation to NLM was to use persistent names having the properties described in the Archival Resource Key (ARK) draft. An ARK prototype system was set up at NLM.
During this period I continued to speak regularly about my work, giving seminars at the Library of Congress, NLM (LHC) Computer Science Branch, UCB Computer Science department, UCSF Medical Informatics, UCB School of Information Management, and presentations to the annual meeting of the Coalition for Networked Information and various UC Library groups. I also maintained a fractional appointment to advise the UCSF Library on technical planning, including hiring and infrastructure. I served continuously during this time on the 9-campus University of California working group on technology, architecture, and standards for the California Digital Library (UCOP).
10/95 to 4/98
MANAGER, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY GROUP − Center for Knowledge Management, UCSF
Led a team of three programmers in designing and implementing several major projects. The Medsage project resulted in a production campus system for searching the MEDLINE database; components included a WWW interface, links to 71 electronic journals stored locally on an optical jukebox, an HTTP/Z39.50 gateway, and a MARC to HTML record translator. A second major project built a campus authentication, authorization, and charging infrastructure for multiple applications, initially print charging from public workstations; other applications included controlled access to electronic content, Web proxying for dialin authentication, and an X509 certificate authority.
8/94 to 8/95
LEAD PROGRAMMER/RESEARCHER − National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD
Received a one-year grant from the NLM: (a) to provide technical leadership for a team of five people setting up a Z39.50 server for MEDLARS databases, and (b) to research new protocols combining the strengths of Z39.50 and HTTP, particularly as they might apply to the NLM Sourcerer project (for discovering network resources and merging multi-server query results). During that year provided ongoing technical guidance to three people maintaining Infocal.
9/89 to 9/95
LEAD PROGRAMMER − Infocal Project, UC Berkeley
As instigator and technical leader of the Infocal project, my job was: (a) to design and implement software for an information server and one or more clients and (b) to design and supervise the maintenance of a growing body of campus information. The Infocal project won material support from Sun, Apple, DEC, CNI, and CNIDR. I made presentations on Infocal, on Z39.50, and on related work at professional meetings for ASIS, SIGUCCS, LITA (ALA), IEEE, HPCC, and BIREME. I supervised one position that created and monitored the mostly automatic update procedures for campus data providers.
The server was implemented in C, using as DBMS the UNIX filesystem and a small ad hoc search engine, avoiding administrative, functional, and performance problems of available DBMS products. The first (and only) client was written in C and TCL and functioned as a walkup campus kiosk system from about 200 terminals, as a telnet destination for anyone on the internet, and as an email robot for users who at least had an internet mail stop.
While this client could establish Z39.50 sessions with other servers, the protocol had only just matured (Version 3) to the point where it interoperably supported the server’s browsing and non-bibliographic data requirements, so the client used a patchwork of older protocols. This and the risk of compromising the security of the campus network prevented the client code from being released to compete with other emerging systems (Web, Gopher, Prospero). The need to link to an increasing number of external targets in the multi-protocol internet led to my modifying the client to use the WWW protocol suite.
9/77 to 8/89
PROGRAMMER − 50-100% time, Information Systems and Technology, UC Berkeley
As programmer for six years, I worked in a team of four people in charge of UNIX, microcomputers, and networking, with one year as acting manager. Before then, I consulted, taught, and documented UNIX, IBM CMS, and Calidoscope (a Berkeley version of CDC 6400 Scope) operating systems. As a system administrator, I designed a standard campus Ultrix configuration for about 150 microvaxes and consulted with users on VAX and Macintosh computers.
5/85 to 8/85
RESEARCH INTERN − Digital Equipment Corp., Eastern Research Lab, Hudson, MA
Worked with the distributed systems architecture team in researching, designing, and prototyping a heterogeneous distributed systems project. The main features of the design were a fast RPC-style protocol, a machine-independent network command language, and shared access to resources by ULTRIX, VMS, and MS-DOS. I worked on the ULTRIX kernel transport and network interface routines.
