Introducing NCore, NSDL's platform for cyberlearning: Tools you can use for educational repository builders and managers.
NCore technologies and standards provide the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) and other organizations with a framework for digital library infrastructure. A common data model is at the heart of NCore and forms the basis for a suite of system components that are described, documented and available from this web site. The NCore next-generation platform is based on Fedora open source repository software. NCore provides users, developers, information managers and decision-makers with systems for description, organization, interrelation, and annotation of resources that form a dynamic information layer on top of library resources and metadata.
