Whats NISO? Non-profit industry trade association accredited by ANSI with 150+ members Mission of developing and maintaining standards related to information, documentation, discovery and distribution of published materials and media Represent US interests to ISO TC46 (Information and Documentation) and also serve as Secretariat for ISO TC46/SC 9 (Identification and Description) Responsible for standards like ISSN, DOI, Dublin Core metadata, DAISY digital talking books, OpenURL, SIP, NCIP, MARC records and ISBN (indirectly) Volunteer driven organization: 400+ spread out across the world
Premise of Standards Consensus standards created by a community with various stakeholders Trust Leading to broader acceptance Standards as plumbing Standards facilitate trade, commerce and innovation Standards reduce costs Standards support better communication and interoperability across systems
ANSI Standards Openness, lack of dominance, balance = everyone affected has a voice Notifications, consideration of views and objections Consensus votes and appeals ANSI patent policy, commercial terms and conditions Publication and maintenance Credible & have Integrity
Typical flow of OpenURL Source http://sfx.calstate.edu:9003/san marcos?sid=google&aulast=Nati onal Diabetes Data Group&atitle=Classification an diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and other categories of glucose intolerance&id=pmid:510803 Link Resolver (includes KB & other programs) Target http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/28/12/1039
Possible application of OpenURL 1. DOI Link Resolver (includes KB & other programs) Link resolver http://sfx.calstate.edu:9003/san marcos? id=doi:10.4161/auto.19496 2. metadata http://dx.doi.org/10.4161/auto.19496
OpenURL function Enables transfer of metadata From an information resource To a service component (link resolver) that can determine and provide context-sensitive services for the metadata
Types of OpenURL Sources A&I databases Online journals (references in articles) OPACs E-print archives Your local data repositories
OpenURL Format Base_URL Server address of service component Content Elements of the metadata or pointer to metadata in a public syntax Information supporting delivery of services Example: http://sfx.aaa.edu/menu?genre=article&issn=1234-5678 &volume=12&issue=3&spage=1&epage=8&date=1998& aulast=Smith&aufirst=Paul
Base_URL Information Providers need to know which BASE_URL to insert into OpenURLs in order to provide correct/local service menu/ links User Profiles IP address identification CookiePusher mechanism Digital Certificates ?
