24. the Recollection idea digital cultural heritage collections include temporal , locative , and categorical data that, could be tapped to better dynamically interact with and understand those collections.

26. history Recollection was initially developed as a tool to help NDIIPP partners develop common interfaces to the distributed national collection of born digital materials they have preserved. The project is now in the process of becoming more broadly available.

27. broader audiences As we move toward a broader public release the project is embracing a wider audience. This audience includes librarians, archivists, curators, and researchers around the nation interested in better understanding and expanding access to their digital collections.

39. augment derive ISO dates , latitude and longitude coordinates, and break apart data

42. design views graphical interface for assembling views

46. publish and embed views publish views on the site or embed one line of javascript into any HTML document.
