62. Although searchable catalogs of digital documents were introduced early in the history of computing [51]. general use of the term "digital library" began in the early 1990's [16] [20].

71. A search reveals that there are over 13,000 appearances of this term on the web, including a webcast by Clifford Lynch and Michael Keller on the subject [35]
72. This is a reference to Francis Fukuyama's 1992 book [21] reflecting a similar myopic euphoria about political economy.

75. We note that this problematic distinction was one of the initial motivations [44] for the Fedora architecture, which is used to implement the model described later in this paper.
76. Thanks to a former colleague who is now at amazon (and who will remain anonymous) for this phrase. The correspondence between information modeling problems at amazon and digital libraries is not coincidental. Amazon is perhaps the premier example of an information environment that provides users with contextualized and rich information built over a basic data layer (its products).
77. The use of this term is borrowed from Godfrey Rust [11]. "People Make Stuff, People Use Stuff, and People Do Deals About Stuff
78. Collecting metadata from multiple metadata providers raises interesting equivalence problems. The ability to determine that two descriptions are about the same resource is based on heuristics and subjectivity.
