| Biographical Sketch: |
Sandy Payette is co-director of the Fedora Project (http://www.fedora.info/) and researcher in Computing and Information Science at Cornell University. She is responsible for the design of the original Fedora architecture which was a result of DARPA/NSF research with Carl Lagoze. Her other research areas include information network overlays for scholarly communication, distributed architectures for digital libraries, information modeling and metadata, digital preservation, and policy enforcement for digital content. In addition to her devotion to Fedora, she is currently collaborating with colleagues from Cornell and the LANL Library on Pathways (http://www.infosci.cornell.edu/pathways/), a new NSF/SEIII project to demonstrate a graph-based information and process model that can provide an interoperable foundation for next-generation, network-based scholarly communication systems.
