Entitlement Registry Scoping Project Aims: • To gather, normalise and verify the entitlement records of all UK higher education institutions to the titles in the NESLi2 deals with two sample publishers. • To scope the cost and work flows for gathering, normalisation and verification of entitlement records of all UK higher education institutions across all of the NESLi2 publishers. • To scope the cost and work flow for updating the entitlement records for all UK higher education institutions to all NESLi2 publishers on an annual basis.
The project is closely aligned with a separate and parallel strand of activity led by EDINA. • Prototype designed by EDINA.
Data Model • Journal Descriptive Metadata • Entitlement Metadata • Access Management Metadata • Publisher Related Metadata • Agent Metadata • Service Provider Related Metadata • Institution Related Metadata • Verification Metadata • Other Metadata
Institutional Processes • When do the libraries verify their PCA entitlement? • As part of the subscription or renewal process • As part of the cancellation process • As part of the general management of the collection • How do libraries source entitlement information? • How is entitlement information stored?
Data normalisation • Data received: • Publishers journal title identifiers • Bibliographic information • PCA entitlement • Publisher • Title changes • Open access (oa)
We have sent data to be verified by institutions • Fields: • Jnl Code • Subscription Code • Print ISSN • Online ISSN • Frequency (2011 • Journal Title • Journal Pack • PCA entitlement Start Year • PCA entitlement End Year • Former Publisher • Transfered? • Year of first publication by (where known) • Last Year of Publication • Published/Ceased/Moved • Previous Title (1) • Old EISSN • Old ISSNs • Last Year of Previous Titles • Previous Title (2) • Old EISSN • Old ISSNs • Last Year of Previous Titles • Month OA Option Started • Year OA Option Started • Month Stopped • Year OA Option Stopped
Preliminary findings • The publishers were unable to provide the data in a timely and systematic manner • Some institutions found it very difficult to verify their entitlements. • In general, the time factor has been and is one of the main reasons why it is so difficult for publishers and institutions to deal with the PCA entitlement data.
A developing approach • Issues above demonstrate importance of Entitlement Registry • Balance costs of collecting historical data vs practicality of starting with current data • The Entitlement Registry likely to be based on a two-pronged strategy • continue working to find the best workflow regarding the historical data 2011-backwards • start keeping records of the data from 2012-forward
