  2. A mixed bag of jargon • The basics of the web • Linking • D.I.Y. • DOI • CrossRef • OpenURL • Open Archives Initiative – ‘e-prints’ • Usage statistics Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  3. Data Format HTML Addressing URL How does the Web work? (currently) Transport HTTP 3 simple protocols: Data FormatsHTML (HyperText Markup Language) provides the data format for native documents AddressingURLs (Uniform Resource Locator) provides an addressing mechanism for web resources TransportHTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) defines transfer of resources between client and server Brian Kelly, Web-Focus, UKOLN Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  4. How does the Web work? The Netsofthome page 1 User clicks on link to the address (URL)http://www.netsoft.com/hello.html 2 Browser converts link to HTTP command (METHOD): Connect to computer at www.netsoft.com GET /hello.html 3 Remote computer sends file Welcome to Netsoft <HTML> <TITLE>Welcome</TITLE>.. <P>Welcome to <B>Netsoft</B> Web server Web Browser 4 Local computer displays HTML file Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  5. Linking – what’s required? • User - ‘easy’ • Library - accurate • Publishers - secure • Intermediary - standard Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  6. Linking Mechanisms URL-based include: • explicit filename http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue24/intro.html • derived filename, e.g. ISSN, SICI http://www.jstor.ac.uk/journals/10624783.html • script, e.g. http://www.esajournals.org/esaonline/?request=get-abstract&issn=00129658&volume=077&issue=08&page=2302 Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  9. Linking Mechanisms • The Digital Object Identifier (DOI): • A unique identifier assigned to a digital object. • A way of accessing an object (e.g. a full text article) without having to know its URL - the DOI identifies the object itself, not the place where it is stored. • Persistent - as long as the object exists, so does the DOI. Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  10. DOI: Dumb Old Identifier “Dumb” number - doesn’t relate to the object, couldn’t be guessed - like a phone number. 10.1000/123456789 Prefix - given to the rights owner e.g. the publisher Suffix - any unique alphanumeric string e.g. 10.1074/jbc.M004545200 Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  11. DOI link URL to Publisher DOI Metadata CrossRef/DOI resolution References DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/toxsci/57.1.95 Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  12. OpenURL Pat Harris, Executive Director of NISO: "One message we hear is that the new business model will be enabled by information technology with standards at the core. This is where NISO fits in. …over five hundred years ago Guttenberg fundamentally changed communication and learning. Today NISO's challenge is to create those standards that will enable the modern day Gothenburg Moment. Could it be the OpenURL?" Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  13. OpenURL format ::=Base URL?Query Base-URL = web address of the link resolver i.e. the address to which the OpenURL is being sent http://LinkFinderPlus.library.edu?genre=article&issn=1234-5678&volume=12&issue=3&spage=1&epage=8 &date=1998&aulast=Smith&aufirst=Paul Query = the metadata that the link resolver uses to identify and link to appropriate targets Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  18. Use of OpenURL Technology(in ‘ac.uk’) • Maximise use of (appropriate) e-resources • to increase use of (their) e-journals • provide links from bibliographic resources • Help with e-journal management – please! • All sources possible, targets limited to major ‘bundled’ deals – ‘slowly & accurately’ • Launch ‘quickly but quietly’ See ‘Talking Shop’ reports at http://www.mimas.ac.uk/metadata/ITAM/sfx.html Also, comparison of SFX, SIRSI, LinkFinder+ and 1Cate in: “Context-sensitive Linking: It’s a Small World After All”, Collins & Ferguson, Serials Review, Volume 28, Issue 4, Winter 2002, Pages 267-282. http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1016/S0098-7913(02)00221-6 Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  19. The Open Archives Initiative • 1999 Universal Preprint Service (UPS) • Multi-disciplinary collection of technical reports, conference papers, articles, e-print servers, etc. • Services provided on “harvested metadata” • Data Providers / Service Providers • Sharing versus searching • OAI is only about metadata – not full text • OAI is neutral about nature of metadata and the resources described Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  20. OAI Metadata Harvesting Framework • Simple mechanism for sharing metadata records • Records shared over the web (ie HTTP as XML) • ‘Client’ can ask metadata server for • all records • all records modified in last ‘n’ days • info about sets, formats, etc. • Specific application: self-archiving via e-print servers in/for all institutions Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM

  21. Consistent, Credible & Compatible Usage Statistics • Code of Practice for: • Data elements to be measured • Definitions of these data elements • Output report formats/delivery/frequency/granularity • Methods for measurement and use • AAP, ALPSP, ARL, ASA, EDItEUR, JISC, NCLIS, NISO, PA, STM, UKSG Getting Technical - Linking UKSG SRM
