From the Government Printing Office (GPO) The Office of Innovation and New Technology is working to develop GPO’s Future Digital Information System. As outlined in the Strategic Vision, this Digital Content System will allow federal content creators to easily create and submit content that can then be preserved, authenticated, managed and delivered upon request. This future digital system (code named FDsys) will form the core of GPO’s future operations. Included in the FDsys will be all known Federal Government documents within the scope of GPO’s Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), whether printed or born digital. This content will be entered into the system and then authenticated and catalogued according to GPO metadata and document creation standards. Content may include text and associated graphics, video and sound and other forms of content that emerge. Content will be available for Web searching and Internet viewing, downloading and printing, and as document masters for conventional and on-demand printing, or other dissemination methods. We are planning for system operation December 2007. Government Printing Office 10/7/05 http://www.gpo.gov/projects/fdsys.htm
