Distributing databases

In 1996, the Getty Information Institute (Getty) and Research Libraries Group (RLG) embarked on a multiyear "Distributed Database Initiative" -- to design a program that uses RLG's infrastructure for providing access to Getty databases and managing community-based content contribution. This will enable Getty research projects to operate in a distributed, international environment and to concentrate on creating quality contents.
