Stanford Digital Library Project
The Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP) (also called The Stanford Integrated Digital Library Project and The Stanford 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 team also included librarians Rebecca Wesley and Vicky Reich.[2] The primary goal of the SDLP project was to "provide an infrastructure that affords interoperability among heterogeneous, and autonomous digital library services."[3] 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."[4]
The SDLP is notable in the history of Google as a primary source of funding for Larry Page 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.[5] It was also while at Stanford working under the SDLP that Larry Page filed his patent for PageRank.[6]
The SDLP itself was funded by coalition of federal agencies including the National Science Foundation as well as donations from industry sponsors.[4][5]
