  8. principles Gateway • networking strategy • methodology framework • instruments & tools & technology • distributed data collection / content administration • online interface structure & functions

  9. project participants I Gateway • France:  management • Germany: Archido  coordination • Italy: Gruppo Abele • United Kingdom: Drugscope • Czech Republic: SZU • Sweden: CAN • The Netherlands: Trimbos Instituut • EU agency: EMCDDA

  21. next steps Gateway 2005 – 2007 EC funded work programme • multilinguality: availability of keywords index & browsing structure in 16 European languages • extension towards Eastern Europe networking & data input  wanted: members from Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania ... • technology: improve online catalogue concept & functions

  22. the future... Gateway linkage to similar services:  metadata exchanges with relevant catalogues in Europe • maximise availability of AOD data within a network of online information services e.g. LinkShare Germany, SOSIG, EMCDDA databases (ELDD, QED, EDDRA)

  23. the future... Gateway vision towards an integrated digital library on AOD: • European database for digital fulltext docs (scientific grey literature, e-journals) • meta search in various European bibliographic online catalogues on AOD contact us: archido@uni-bremen.de
