ABSTRACT In 1923 John McLennan and his assistants succeeded in the liquefaction of helium. This event was heralded by the Canadian media as a major triumph of science. Yet it was neither a scientific first, nor a terminal experiment, but simply a means of producing material for use in McLennan's cryogenic research program. This article examines the events surrounding the liquefaction as they related to McLennan's efforts to promote national science and establish a post-war national science council.

Discusses role of the National Science Foundation in U.S. research in the Arctic and Antarctic. For the latter NSF has fostered a coordinated basic research program. Some features of it and techniques developed might be utilized in a bipolar program on problems of common interest, e.g. conjugate phenomena of the upper atmosphere, international cooperation, etc. Proposals for basic research in the Arctic are welcomed.

This chapter describes metalogy, an XML/metadata framework that can handle several different metadata formats. Metalogy was developed under the Digital Museum Project funded by the National Science Council of Taiwan. It is common to have different data types and catalog formats even within one organization. In order to accommodate a variety of objects, it is often necessary to adopt several metadata formats. Thus, when designing a metadata management system, one needs to be able to handle heterogeneous metadata formats. XML, being a standard gaining increasing popularity, is also often used as data format so that exchange between data can be done in a uniform way.
