Abstract

To help the aerospace community (made by experimental, numerical, system engineers, scientists, managers, stakeholders, customers, authorities...) capitalize and share their outcomes, a digital library (DL) center will be set up, as a result of a national project called SIA (Sistema Informativo Aerospaziale). The objective of the digital library Centre is to demonstrate new ways in which, collections of documents, data and associated services, can facilitate collaboration within the aerospace community. This paper gives an overview of the key functions and how they map into the requirements of the target community. Attention is put on usability characteristics. Two forms of DL usability - interface and organizational - are tackled.
