Me and My Shadow

Posted: August 31st, 2010 | Author: feeneyl | Filed under: Hardware/Software, digital humanities | Tags: | Comments Off

In April 1995, the National Science Foundation (NSF) privatized the Internet.  As a result, Internet access that had been previously limited to research and non-profit activities was now opened to commercial traffic. In 1996, the research community formed the Internet2 consortium to begin the development of a second “Internet” to support high capacity, high performance networking and applications to connect the higher education community to research resources. Stockton has an associate membership in Internet2 through NJEdge and MAGPI (the Mid-Atlantic Gigapop in Philadelphia for Internet2).

How does Internet2 add to the existing commercial (aka “commodity”) Internet experience? The high performance aspect is the most important feature. New research applications require a bigger, faster network pipe to pump massive amounts of information through to the end user.

The Library of Congress is working with Internet2 members on projects to preserve historical documents in digital format and share those documents with the research community. Access to many original documents is limited because of their fragility. To address this, the University of Pennsylvania has thousands of historical documents available online for access by the educational community.

The Library of Congress  American Memory project    includes digital versions of early American films, maps, photographs, and sound recordings. Topics include architecture, conservation, Native American history, and women’s history. It is not necessary to visit Washington, DC. These documents are available online.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey  works to map a portion of outer space and share digital images with the education and research communities. High resolution images can be examined using a visual navigation tool. These images are also tied in to a detailed database of information about the region being examined.

The University of Delaware shares a mass spectrometer over Internt2. Fans of television crime shows will know that a mass spectrometer can break substances down into their elemental chemical components. Remote researchers can ship their samples to UD and remotely control an expensive device that their institutions would not otherwise have access to.

The Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). NEES simulation labs, tools, and data for those with approved grant proposals. Like a mass spectrometer earthquake and tsunami simulation equipment is quite expensive, but also requires a great deal of physical space. NEES joins together 14 different labs with different types of equipment.

[Important Note: Internet2 access is only avaialble on campus. Many of these resources can be reached from the commodity Internet, but access may be very slow.]
