  12. Where Is Our Business Heading? We are not about to go out of the paper publishing business anytime soon. But we’ve moved intothe electronic publishingbusiness of in a big way.

  13. CS Digital Library

  14. W W W Paper SGML Digital Library CD-ROM Assembling the DL Puzzle

  15. CS Digital Library Approach • Primary focus on building SGML repository • SGML --> HTML on the fly conversion • Handling math via TeX --> GIF conversion • PDF as a supplemental strategy • Evaluate options for legacy material

  16. Why SGML? • It is built on an open standard –ISO 8879 • Reusability • Information longevity • Sharability • Portability • Rich representation of material • Not tied to “page” publishing paradigm

  17. SGML Drawbacks • Expensive start up • Learning curve for editorial staff • Web issues: • HTML is a very limited subset • math support is limited for Web delivery • Still lacks good tools to support full editorial workflow

  18. 3B2 for Periodicals • SGML is our underlying epub technology • 3B2 is a native SGML editing platform • We have successfully implemented 3B2 for transactions • Seriously evaluating 3B2 for magazines • D&T best pilot candidate

  19. CS Digital DL Architecture • All CS produced periodicals • All articles published since 1995 • Currently 100K+ pages and growing at 16K pgs/yr. • Conference proceedings • 1997 – present includes 205K pages from 289 conferences and growing at 60K pgs/yr. • 1995-1996 are being processed for DL • The collection is full text searchable • The collections are searchable with standard web browsers and limited helper applications

  20. CS Digital Library • All-CS periodicals • Proceedings added • Public abstracts • Full text in HTML • PDF for printing • Member choice • Print and/or electronic • MDLS • Library plan • Individual article delivery

  21. Select the Viewing Option

  22. Abtract

  23. Only $99 for members M D L S Member Digital Library Subscription • Access to the CS digital library archive for one year • All 18 CS titles from 1995 to present • Conference proceedings • Full text search capability

  24. MDLS Subscriptions

  25. CS Projections for E-subs % of Total Optional Member Subscriptions

  26. CSLSP-e Computer Society Library SubscriptionPlan - Electronic • 18 CS titles from 1995-present and conference proceedings • Access rights for every user at a physical site location • Access in advance of the print publications • CSLSP-e License Agreement • Annual subscription for $9,095

  27. Buying Individual Articles • Digital library visitors may purchase individual articles on-line • Members $5 • Nonmembers $10

  28. Challenges in Digital Library Development • Effective collaboration with other STM publishers • Accurate and efficient rendering of complex math • Supporting standards for scientific and technical publishing (XML, browsers, document ID, etc) • Risk management with various economic models • site licensing, individual subscribers, micro transactions, etc • Recognition of peer reviewed articles outside the print paradigm • Protection of intellectual property

  29. Commercial publishers Virtual library Professional societies A reader-centric model Authors Readers • Filter / selection • Information transfer • Professional communication • Archival

  30. One vision for the virtual library • All publishers (professional societies and commercial) maintain databases of their IP in a similar (if not standard) form • These distributed databases are fully interoperable, constituting a virtual digital library of THE literature • A customer of any publisher can have direct “click” access to the IP of any other publisher

  31. Virtual library vision (cont.) • Robust searching capabilities of the literature of the field • Click access to articles cited in the current article • Click access to citations of the current article • No hassle economic transactions

  32. The only thing prohibiting the achievement of that vision: Standards Standards to assure stable cross-referencing of citations Standards for inter-publisher charge-backs and settlements

  33. The first step... • D. O. I. S Digital Object Identifiers • Unique strings associated with a given piece of IP • Associated with a physical URL in a central registry

  34. The CS Implementation of Digital Object Identifiers • Registered for the prefix “10.1041” • In the process of applying the DOI to the following classes of material • books • conference proceedings • periodicals (issue, article,department) • Registered > 52,000 DOIs

  35. CrossRef A Clearinghouse For Links • Central clearinghouse run as a cooperative • Database of article information • Reference look-up software • Publishers register their articles • Title, citation information, web site location • Publishers look up ref. to identify links • CS articles will be registered with CrossRef, and their citations linked

John Wiley & Sons * Academic Press * AAAS* AIP* ACM* Blackwell Science * Elsevier Science * IEEE* Kluwer * Nature Publishing Group * Oxford University Press * Springer-Verlag * Cambridge University Press Marcel Dekker Inc. Royal Society of Chemistry Portland Press Am. Mathematical Society Am. Psychological Assoc. Plus more Selected CrossRef Members Notes: * Founder & Board MemberNot-For-Profit Organization

  37. CS Future • Digital library is an important component of our value proposition for members • Electronic future • Content synthesis—electronic journals • Distance learning—video on demand • Virtual library on computing • DL as a large database • Tools (Autonomy, DOI, reference linking)

  38. Leveraging IEEE Connection • SGML and PDF feeds going to IEEE • Part into IEEE Xplore • Increasing awareness • Increasing the value of our digital products and services

  39. IEEE Xplore 581,000 articles
