Introduction
Pacific
Neighborhood Consortium (PNC)
(http://www.PNCLink.org)
The mission of the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) is to facilitate
information exchanges among institutions of higher education in
the Pacific Rim through computing and communications technology.
PNC explores issues of information and technology exchange, interdisciplinary
collaboration, and the development of the cultural knowledge contents.
In fostering access to digitized data on the Pacific Rim, the PNC
serves as a portal for access to digital research. It helps scholars
to find the library, archive, and museum materials needed to support
both teaching and research. The ultimate goal is to enable scholars
to regard themselves, not as separated by vast distances, but as
residents of a virtual neighborhood.
Established
in 1993, the consortium was first initiated by the University of
California, Berkeley in partnership with academic institutions in
the Pacific Rim. Since 1997, the administrative operations of PNC
have been transferred to the Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
Electronic
Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI)
(http://www.ecai.org)
The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) is a collaborative
project, which will combine global mapping, imagery, and text. ECAI
provides scholars and other users with a research resource based
on digital technology with can present complex combinations of data
from multiple disciplines visually and immediately ECAI researchers
are being challenged to conceive strategies combining mapping and
graphics as well as text in order to present data, which might otherwise
be limited to written format. The dual mission of the project is
to continuously expand the scope of affiliated databases to encompass
the many regions and cultures of the world, varied disciplines,
and multiple historical periods, while maintaining a high standard
of academic research excellence.
ECAI
is international in scope and cross-cultural in content. For more
