This paper describes an information model for digital libraries that intentionally moves "beyond search and access", without ignoring those basic functions, and facilitates the creation of collaborative and contextual knowledge environments. This model is an information network overlay that represents a digital library as a graph of typed nodes, corresponding to the information units (documents, data, services, agents) within the library, and semantic edges representing the contextual relationships among those units. The information model integrates local and distributed information integrated with web services, allowing the creation of rich documents (e.g., learning objects, publications for e-science, etc.). It expresses the complex relationships among information objects, agents, services, and meta-information (such as ontologies), and thereby represents information resources in context, rather than as the result of stand-alone web access. It facilitates collaborative activities, closing the loop between users as consumers and users as contributors.

But one of the more intriguing aspects of the DLI was its matchmaking coup of uniting librarians and computer scientists. Publishers were and are on the scene, but triangles are complicated, and just contemplating the binary union between academic librarians and computer scientists is rich enough for one article. Between the two, are there clear winners and losers after 10 years? Many would answer this question with a vigorous nod
