Steering Committee Meetings:
1. In late March 2004, members of the NINES advisory board gathered at the University of Virginia for a one-day symposium on the project, with the following presentations: on ARP tools (Ivanhoe and Juxta); on the re-design of the Rossetti Archive, which is serving as a test bed for NINES; on semantic search technology; on possible library and university press publishing models for NINES; and on markup and text encoding standards for future contributions to NINES. The symposium agenda is available online.
2. Americanists and steering committee members met in October of 2004 to discuss NINES and learn more about ARP-built tools and interfaces. An agenda for this meeting is available in PDF format.
3. The full NINES steering committee met in Charlottesville in October 2005 to approve a federated model for NINES presented in this white paper, and to see work in progress on the Juxta and Collex tools.
4. Members of the steering committee and content providers for the NINES pilot project met in Charlottesville in June 2006 to view progress on Collex, establish peer review and publishing practices, and discuss policies for including proprietary resources in NINES.
