Welcome to ACCORD
The Academic Community for Coordinating On-line Resource Development
We seek promising technology and development partnerships
ACCORD views the current conditions of technological
maturity and the
need for high-quality academic resources as complementary,
giving industry and academe
the basis for collaboration to benefit those who develop technology and
its application products, those who create resources from academically
valuable content, and those who need effectively designed applications
and appropriately selected content in a wide range of academic pursuits.
The internet and World Wide Web provide the rudimentary medium of
communication that makes such collaboration possible, and ACCORD is
creating a virtual operational context for research, development, and
testing that can respond to the many circumstances--technical, economic,
and social--that, together, must be taken into account.
ACCORD's purpose is to locate and keep track of academic projects that
are planning or conducting digital resource development, to support the
sharing of expertise and experience among projects, to identify their
common requirements and document their unique requirements--and to
represent these needs effectively to digital
systems and applications developers in order to promote more effective
technology development in support of academic resource development.
