Stanford Digital Library Project
The Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP) (also called The Stanford Integrated Digital Library Project and The Standford Digital Library Technologies Project) was a research program run by Hector Garcia-Molina, Terry Winograd, Dan Boneh, and Andreas Paepcke at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to 2004.[1] The primary goal of the SDLP project was to "provide an infrastructure that affords interoperability among heterogeneous, autonomous digital library services."[2] and described elsewhere as "to develop the enabling technologies for a single, integrated and "universal" library, proving uniform access to the large number of emerging networked information sources and collections."[3]
The SDLP is notable in the history of Google as a primary sources of funding for Lawrence Page's and Sergey Brin (Brin was also supported by a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship) during the period they developed the precursors and initial versions of the Google search engine prior to the incorporation of Google as a private entity.[4] It was also while at Stanford working under the SDLP that Lawrence Page filed his patent for PageRank.[5]
The SDLP itself was funded by coalition of federal agencies including the National Science Foundation as well as donations from industry sponsors.[3][4]
