The document discusses the strategic characteristics and capabilities needed for sustainable digital data preservation and access network partners (DataNets) funded by the National Science Foundation. It outlines the need for DataNets to have a clear vision and structure, provide the full data management lifecycle, engage in relevant research, and involve communities. It also describes the dual needs for DataNets to operate with both risk aversion and risk-taking, embrace technological change, and engage at the frontiers of science.

14. “ This "oracle bone" dates from the reign of King Wu Ding in the Shang Dynasty. It is approximately three thousand years old.” “ A partial translation of the left-hand side of this oracle bone: [Preface:] Crack making on gui-si day, Que divined: [Charge:] In the next ten days there will be no disaster. [Prognostication:] The king, reading the cracks, said, "There will be no harm; there will perhaps be the coming of alarming news." [Verification:] When it came to the fifth day, ding-you, there really was the coming of alarming news from the west. Zhi Guo, reporting, said, "The Du Fang [a border people] are besieging in our eastern borders and have harmed two settlements." The Gong-fang also raided the fields of our western borders. “ This translation follows (with slight modifications) David N. Keightley, Sources of Shang History (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1978), p. 44. The oracle bone being cited is Ching-hua 2.” http://faculty.vassar.edu/brvannor/translation.html [June 2, 2007]

16. “ Inscriptions “ Colophons, or inscriptions, are one of the more striking features of Chinese paintings that are unfamiliar to western audiences. In the west, not until the twentieth century do we see text and art image interact to the same degree on the surface of the art work. Early narrative paintings in the Chinese tradition often displayed text in banners next to the figures depicted; portions of the associated narrative text were also frequently found interspersed with sections of the painting. Beginning around the 11th century, however, poems and painted images were designed to share the same image space. “ Although this practice was common at court, it was with the scholar painters that the practice of writing on the painting surface became firmly established. Literati painters also appended notes concerning the circumstances of creation of particular paintings. These writings, added after the painting was completed, could be mounted together with the painting but on another piece of paper or silk (as was the case with handscrolls) or even invaded the picture surface itself (as in the case of the album leaf or the hanging scroll). The content of these inscriptions typically included the appreciative comments of later viewers and collectors and constituted a major source of enjoyment for connoisseurs, who felt a connection to art aficionados and scholars of the past through their writings.” Wang Mian (1287?-1359), Plum Blossoms , in Gen jidai no kaiga (Tokyo/Nara: Yamato bunkakan, 1998), pl. 25, p. 55.

Pages are numbered by folio. This page is Berakhoth 2a (that is, the first side of folio 2 in the tractate Berakhoth, "Blessings"). “ Considered from the standpoint of typography alone, the printed page of the Talmud is an amazingly complex text with many intertextual connections representing fifteen centuries of discussion.” http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rs/2/Judaism/talmud.html “ Talmud and its Shape”
