  1. LOCALIZED REFERENCE LINKING PROJECT Dale Flecker NFAIS/NISO Linking Workshop February 24, 2002 Philadelphia

  2. THE PROMISE OF CITATION LINKING Any old system Citation Citation LINK CLICK LINK MAGIC Cited Article

  3. HOW DOI PERFORMS “MAGIC” Any old system Step 1 Citation Search response DOI CLICK Step 2 DOI DOI Resolver URL Repository URL Step 3 Cited article Article

  4. BUT -- WHAT IF MORE THAN 1 COPY EXISTS? • Elsevier journals, for example, are on-line at: • Elsevier ScienceDirect • OhioLink • University of Toronto

  5. WHICH URL? DOI Handle Server URL? Sciencedirect.com? Ohiolink.edu? Utoronto.ca?

  6. A PROBLEM DOI today cannot naturally resolve to more than 1 copy

  7. A BAD THING…. Ohio State User ACM ARTICLE Citation DOI (to Elsevier) CLICK ELSEVIER (or: “$25, please”) OhioLink Cited article

  8. WHY MULTIPLE COPIES • Local loading • Aggregators • Mirror sites • Paper copies • E-print “archives”?? • Preservation archives??

  9. THE APPROPRIATE COPY When more than one copy exists, specific populations frequently have the right to access specific copies

  10. CROSSREF/DLF LINKING PROTOTYPE • Group of research libraries (coordinated by DLF) approached CrossRef on the “appropriate copy” issue • Series of discussions between publishers, DOI, CrossRef, libraries, service providers, NISO • Prototype to test “localization” of linking using OpenURL Framework

  11. PARTICIPANTS • International DOI Foundation/CNRI • CrossRef • Los Alamos National Laboratory • University of Illinois • Ohio State/OhioLink • Ex Libris

  12. OpenURL FRAMEWORK NOT: LINK TARGET RATHER: TARGET A LINK SERVICE TARGET B TARGET C

  13. LINKING SERVICE • An agent for the user • Knows what the link is for • OpenURL transports information to the service about the link • Knows the user’s context • therefore can “localize” the link • Reasons about the appropriate target(s) for a link

  14. OpenURL Transports metadata to a service: http://serv.univ.edu/id=doi:123/4567 Identity of local service Metadata about link

  15. DESIGN ISSUES IN “LOCALIZING” LINKS • How to identify which users need localization • How to insert the service agent in DOI resolution to do localization • How does the agent know what a DOI identifies • How does the agent know how to appropriately resolve the DOI

  16. REMEMBER HOW DOI PERFORMS “MAGIC” Any old system Step 1 Citation Search response DOI CLICK Step 2 DOI DOI Resolver URL Repository URL Step 3 Cited article Article

  17. PROTOTYPE ARCHITECTURE Any old system Step 1 Citation Search response DOI CLICK Step 2 DOI DOI SERVER: Does user have localization? N DOI Resolver Y LOCALIZATION SERVICE

  18. PROTOTYPE ARCHITECTURE DOI DOI web proxy: Does user have localization? N DOI (Handle) Resolver DOI with localization switch = “no” OpenURL with DOI Y or CrossRef LOCALIZATION SERVICE Address of alternate copy to User Metadata in XML

  19. DESIGN ISSUE #1 • How to identify which users need localization • solution = cookie • user’s institution must implement method of getting appropriate cookie on user workstation • transparent to the user • highly controversial • how to set? keep set? avoid setting inappropriately? • but…what alternative?

  20. DESIGN ISSUE #2 • How to insert localization service in DOI resolution • put a filter in front of DOI resolution service which looks for cookie • if no cookie, just resolve DOI as usual • if cookie, redirect transaction to local agent, using an OpenURL containing the DOI

  21. DESIGN ISSUE #3 • How does a service agent know what a DOI refers to? • University of Illinois service did not need to • just keep a list of DOIs for articles in the local system • other implementations retrieved descriptive metadata from CrossRef

  22. DESIGN ISSUE #4 • How does the service agent know how to appropriately resolve the DOI • up to the local agent • look up DOI in local database which gives local address • look up journal in local database, giving linking syntax • send search to opac • Can resolve to locally stored digital copy, local paper copy, aggregator service, document delivery service, original publisher….

  23. IMPLEMENTATION • CNRI implemented a “cookie pusher”, and filter for resolution requests • LANL and Ohio State used SFX as the localizing agent • Illinois wrote a localizing agent • All three libraries implemented a script to trigger “cookie pushing” • CrossRef implemented “reverse look-up” (DOI to metadata)

  24. EXPERIENCE IT WORKS!!!!

  25. A COUPLE OF REMAINING ISSUES • Cookies the big issue • how to consistently get them on user machines, maintain them • Locating metadata not addressed in prototype • will become an issue as other DOI registration agencies come on-line • need to know which agency to ask for the metadata

  26. STATUS -- DOI LOCALIZATION CrossRef and International DOI Foundation committed to support localization model

  27. STATUS -- OpenURL NISO workgroup on fast-track to standardize format Many companies already committed to support OpenURL: EBSCO, OCLC, Gale, IOP SilverPlatter, Ovid, Bowker, Wilson, ProQuest….

  28. STATUS -- LOCALIZING AGENTS Two commercial products available: Ex Libris’ SFX and Endeavor’s LinkFinderPlus -- these provide liking options beyond appropriate copy -- many working installations of SFX already OhioLink and University of Illinois have implemented custom agents
