Partners
European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) programm
Accompanying measure Project start October, 1st, 2001 (2 years) Partners:

Background
UKOLN– various projects contexts of metadata and
interoperability, cross searching– Renardus, Schemas, DESIRE
I.E.I-CNR Pisa– CYCLADES project, DELOS– develop services on top of OAI specification
Computing Centre of Humboldt-University– Dissertation Online, NDLTD– DINI Workshops on OAI
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
... Ask and answer questions
... yet another OAI implementation project? It is a clustering activity
Communities, new communities IST projects National initiatives
It is a dissimination activity Share experiences on OA in general Investigation of usage: different paradigms Wide availability: globally Share developments: e.g. enable developing
countries to get access to scientific and cultural heritage information
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Participants…implementors of Open Archives
Cultural heritage institutions
Research organisations Public library sector Community organisations Publishers Commercial sector Educational sector
As service providers E-print archives Aggregators Added value services
As data providers Established metadata
repositories New data providers
Communities, New Communities
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Benefits of a “Forum”
Is a tool to reach communities What is happening in Europe raise awareness on and discuss main issues
– Common terminology on digital repositories– Metadata / fulltext harvesting models– Users and communities needs– Advanced services
Make (European) projects ready for action– Develop possible solutions– Establish business models
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Project objectives
Provide focus for dissemination Encourage collaborative development of
software Support European liaison with OAI Exchange information
….. build community of interest
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Open Archives Forum
Forum for exchange of experience about all aspects of an Open Archive approach, including …
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Explore business models
Data providers co-operating to build network of service providers
Metadata ‘exchange’ between data and service providers
Provision of added value services (metadata enhancement, auto classification, addition of OpenURLs)
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Issues of ownership
IPR and copyright impact on authors and publishers
Ownership of metadata sharing metadata, metadata exchange and
commercial agreement
Long term digital sustainability digital resources, scholarly communication,
metadata
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Deployment of OAI technical framework
Integration with other existing technologiesRSS, Z39.50,
Is unqualified Dublin Core sufficiently rich?
Database management issues– Currency and update– Scaleability– De-duplication
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Supporting Services
Reaching agreements between data providers on – Metadata schemas– Approach to partitioning archives– Common harvesting agreements– Quality issues
Added value services– Metadata enhancement– Software components (personalisation,
OpenURL resolvers) Software suppliers
– Archive management– Protocol gateways
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
What have we done so far ...?
Web based information source– Glossary
– Databases
– Overview on European OAI implementations
Started Expert Reviews on particular issues
Ready to launch an email discussion list for non-technical OAI issues
Planned 1st Workshop
Established a liason with OAI

Your contributions are welcome!!
Please register within the next 2 weeks! Booking deadline: 19. April
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Topics for Pisa
Communities
What communities can benefit from the open archive approach?
Do incentives, technical and organizational challenges, etc. differ in different communities?
Which communities are already implementing the Open Archive Initiative Metadata Harvesting Protocol or other solutions?
What kinds of services are emerging?
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Topics for Pisa
Definition of the key vocabulary
Can we agree on basic terminology? What are the main concepts that are used in the
open archive everyday activity? Do these concepts differ for different
communities? Are the definitions of these concepts clear? Can we jointly build a glossary.
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Topics for Pisa
Organizational Issues
What lessons about organizational issues, both barriers to adoption and positive factors, can we learn from early adopters?
Which are the business models adopted? Are there issues related to subject-based archives
as opposed to institutional-based archives? Can organizations reach consensus on metadata
formats?
Susanne Dobratz, 26. March 2002, Rome, EU/NSF all Projects Concertation Meeting
Topics for Pisa
Building services in an open archive environment
What lessons have been learned by early-adopters of the open archives approach in the context of service provision?
Do we need application profiles? Openess versus specificity: Can we extend
openness to services? How can this be supported?
Which kind of organizational and technical infrastructures are needed to facilitate this development?
