NASA Digital Libraries and Remote Sensing Projects Digital Library Technology - NASA
NASA's DLT projects support the development of new technologies to facilitate public access to NASA via computer networks. Projects include the CableNet project, an endeavor to bring Internet access to the public via Cable Television, and a study which attempts to improve the rate at which large digital images can be transferred across the network. http://dlt.gsfc.nasa.gov.
 

The US National Data Center
The US National Data Center (NDC) monitors seismic events in order to develop verification techniques for a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. It serves as a gateway for the exchange of geophysical data, primarily seismic data, which are recorded by a global network of stations. The NDC also provides universities and scientific organizations with readily accessible high quality data with which to conduct basic and applied research.
