Early proposals for NINES emphasized uniformity of markup for full integration of scholarly resources within a single, centralized system. A description of the NINES schema proposal and an architecture rationale is archived here for historial purposes. This concept for NINES has been superseded by a federated model, approved by the NINES steering committee in October 2005 and articulated in a white paper.

Try out our implementation of this model in the NINES pilot project, here!
