- The
Stanford Digital Library Metadata Architecture
- Services need to provide
- metadata about their offerings to help
users decide when they should be invoked
- protocol metadata to figure out how
they should be invoked, and
- collection metadata for what they should be invoked
upon.
The metadata architecture provides a system organization to provide these metadata in a uniform, scaleable way.

- SCAM: The Stanford Copy Analysis Mechanism
- Making a perfect digital copy of a copyrighted work is easy in a networked world. How can the intellectual property rightsholders be protected? By detecting attempted distribution of illegal copies. Duplicate detection has other uses in information finding as well. An earlier, related project was known as COPS: The Copyright Protection Scheme.
