Carl Lagoze's Personal Home Page;Carl Lagoze;Project Leader: Digital Library Research Group;Department of Computer Science;4158 Upson Hall;Cornell University;Ithaca, NY 14850-7501;Phone: +1-607-255-6046;Fax: +1-607-255-4428;Internet: lagoze@cs.cornell.edu;I lead the Digital Library Research Group;in the Computer Science Department;at Cornell University. Our;group manages the operation and technical development of the Networked Computer Science Technical Reports Library;(NCSTRL). This is an international consortium that maintains a;distributed digital library of computer science research and collaborates;on a number of digital library research issues.;I am co-developer, with Jim Davis, of the;Dienst;software, a protocol and reference implementation that provides;distributed digital library servers accessible over the World;Wide Web. Dienst is the current enabling technology for NCSTRL.;I have authored or co-authored a number of papers on Dienst:;"Drop-in" publishing with the World Wide Web.;2nd Int'l WWW Conference 1994.;Dienst - An Architecture for Distributed Document Libraries.;Communications of the ACM, April 1995, Vol 38 No 4 page 47.;A protocol and server for a distributed technical report library.;Cornell Computer Science Technical Report.;Dienst: implementation reference manual.;Cornell Computer Science Technical Report.;Dienst: Building a Production Technical Report Server. Chapter 15 in Advances in Digital Libraries, Springer Verlag 1995.;My primary research involves defining the services and protocols;for an interoperable digital library infrastructure. In this area,;I have collaborated with the Corporation for National Research Initiatives;to extend and implement a digital object framework developed;as part of the DARPA-funded Computer Science Technical Report Project.;I have authored or co-authored a number of papers in this area:;Implementation Issues in an Open Architectural Framework for Digital Object Services.;Cornell Computer Science Technical Report.;A Design for Interoperable Secure Object Stores (ISOS).;Cornell Computer Science Technical Report.;A Secure Repository Design for Digital Libraries.;Dlib Magazine, December, 1995.;As part of this work, I am also a member of the Dlib;working group on repository interfaces;and co-author of the yet-to-be-released final report of the Metadata Workshop II;in Warwick, U.K. Finally, and also as part of this work, I am;very interested in extending the World Wide Web using distributed;object technology. You can read my position paper;for the Joint W3C/OMG Workshop on Distributed Objects and Mobile Code;workshop.;There is more to me than this research. Who knows, you may meet;me at a conference, workshop, or meeting and find that out. As;a poor substitute for personal contact, let me say a little more;about me.;That character on my lap in the picture at the top of this page;is Lucy, my daughter. She rules the majority of my life, outside;of my work time. Toddlers are a constant challenge and joy. Lucy;gives meaning to my life that will never be provided by my work.;I am also an avid outdoor person. Put me in site of fast moving;water or a quiet lakeand I will itch to get out on it in a canoe.;Give me a beautiful day and I will think only about bike riding;along a quiet road or a backwoods trail. Tell me I have a spare;hour in my day and I will put on my running shoes and breath deeply;the fresh air. I may spend much of my time in the digital world,;but it will never be a substitute for the joys of the physical;nor should it ever interfere with our desire to fight for its;preservation.;Hope to meet you sometime,;Carl;
