Verio, in Partnership with
ATS, to Provide Managed Hosting Solution to U.S. Law Library of Congress
Global Legal Information Network
Release Date: 8/4/2004
MCLEAN, Va., and ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug 3, 2004 /PRNewswire
via COMTEX/ -- Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications and a leading
global IP solutions provider, announced today that the General Services
Administration for the U.S. Law Library of Congress has selected the company
to host the Global Legal Information Network (GLIN). The GLIN Web site
will contain a multilingual database of laws, judicial decisions, legal
writings and legislative records from countries in the Americas, Europe,
Africa and Asia. Verio's selection was part of a larger, $5.7M contract
awarded to Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (ATS).
The Law Library of Congress initially created GLIN
to support its research and reference services and to increase digital
access to its collection of legal resources. In response to an increased
demand for online international legal research resources, Verio and ATS
were awarded this contract to expand the existing GLIN system. Specifically,
Verio will provide managed hosting, storage and security services giving
the Law Library of Congress a highly available and secure infrastructure
for its GLIN project.
"The U.S. Law Library of Congress is the largest
and most complete law library, accessed and used by legal researchers
around the world. Together with Verio, ATS will continue to build upon
this world-class information system to advance global legal research,"
said Pete Spewak, senior vice president at ATS.
Under the larger contract umbrella, other enhancements
and upgrades will include designated areas to upload documents such as
court decisions and legislative records, improvements to user interfaces
and expanded multilingual features to support approximately 20 different
languages. When the upgrades are complete, GLIN will support customized
search agents, topic-based user subscriptions and role based user administration.
"As the Internet has evolved to include interactive
applications, like VOIP and streaming video, more government agencies
are looking to refresh their online presence with new Web tools,"
said James Treuting, president of global sales for Verio. "The U.S.
Library of Congress' information network is a perfect example of the proactive
measures taken by the public sector to establish a dynamic virtual knowledge
center for employees and constituents. Verio is pleased to support GLIN,
and we look forward to incorporating a variety of resource tools that
will elevate its usage capabilities."
The mission of the Law Library of Congress is to provide
research and legal information to Congress, the federal courts and executive
branch agencies and to offer reference services to the public. Nearly
50 jurisdictions currently contribute legal documents to GLIN.
