  1. OA-F Organisational Issues Working Group report Final review of organisational issues Paul Child

  2. Intro • Leona Carpenter, with Donatella Castelli, Michael Day, Rachel Heery, Philip Hunter; Dennis Nicholson, William Nixon, Paul Child, Elizabeth Gadd, and a contribution on IPR by Mark Bide (Rightscom Limited) • This review explores the validity of the open archive approach through a close examination of organisational issues. It describes the approach and the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), and supports European organisations in benefiting from the added value of open archive technology by exploring the incentives for participation in an exchange-based model for providing information, archiving and metadata sharing services. A summary of Intellectual Property Right (IPR) issues related to open archives is included. Other topics covered are governance of the OAI, business models, content management, metadata issues and quality assurance. • This is the second of the two reports that are the contracted deliverables of Open Archives Forum Workpackage 3 'Organisational Validation'.

  10.

  11. Content Management Systems • Basic premise • A CMS can help co-ordinate a process that requires the skill and experience of staff based in a number of different areas of an institution. Examples include: • Step by step • Do different types of materials require different workflow ‘steps’ in a different order? For example, institutionally planned and executed course materials may start at one point in a work flow, whereas the creation of a research paper may start further on the flow. Paul Child
