The writers discuss two prototypical digital library projects that employ non-geographical spatial systems and spatial search engines to facilitate access to materials that are not easily accessed through traditional approaches. The first prototype is the University of Southern California's “Brain Project,” which aims to facilitate the sharing of neuroscientific experimental data and results and involves a collaboration between neuroscience and database researchers. The second is the InscriptiFact Project, a collaboration among the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and a private archive to share imagery of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ugaritic Tablets, and Elephantine Papyri, among scholars, students, and the general public.
