Yale Digital Commons
The Yale Digital Commons (YDC) is a campus-wide collaboration to develop common infrastructure for the creation, management and dissemination of the expansive digital asset collections at Yale. YDC substantiates the digital ecosystem metaphor – it embodies the complex relationships between people, practice, technology, and content requisite in today's digital information environment, and it recognizes the importance of moving away from departmental information silos and cultivating a holistic digital environment instead. Through the YDC, ODAI facilitates this collaboration and coordination by bringing together partners -- to develop common practices and policies, integrate and share digital media content, build a core infrastructure, and implement policies to support digital initiatives at Yale.
