  2. Laying the foundations of an infrastructure for new models of scholarly publishing.

  3. Building on existing EPrint Efforts • Los Alamos XXX Archive (Physics and Math) • RePEc Initiative (Economics) • NSTRL and CoRR (Computer Science) • CogPrints (Cognitive Science) • NTLTD (Theses and Dissertations)

  6. Partitioning Interoperability Mediator ServicesLinking, Searching, Summarizing Metadata Harvesting Document Models

  7. Metadata Harvesting • Common Metadata Set • Support for Archive Specific Metadata Vocabularies • Common Harvesting Protocol

  8. Open Archives Metadata Set • Facilitate coarse granularity discovery • Compatible with Dublin Core

  9. Support for Archive Specific Metadata Vocabularies • Recognize unique needs of individual communities (Warwick Framework) • Only restriction is XML transport of metadata semantics

  10. Common Harvesting Protocol • Small subset of Dienst protocol • www.cs.cornell.edu/cdlrg/dienst/OpenArchivesDienst.htm • www.cs.cornell.edu/cdlrg/dienst/DienstProtocol.htm • Service Requests: • List accessions after date • Dump metadata (in format) after date • Return supported metadata vocabularies • Return metadata for a specific record

  11. What’s Next? • Plug-in software • Implementation by meeting participants • Publication of Results (D-lib magazine) • Participation by existing and developing archives • Workshop at DL2000 and ECDL2000

  12. More Information • vole.lanl.gov/ups • will be moved to www.openarchives.org • www.cs.cornell.edu/cdlrg/dienst/DienstOverview.htm
