  2. Access to National Libraries through The European Library The European Library started as an EU funded project, led by The British Library – now fully operational service Owned by CENL, funded solely by the National Libraries, The European Library has been live since 17 March 2005 Digital Collections from 32National Libraries - Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy-Florence, Italy-Rome, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia-Moscow, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK 2008 – Adds the remaining Eastern European countries through Swiss Development Agency money and Bulgaria and Romania via TELplus and Russia St Petersburg and Turkey = 46 of 47 national libraries in CENL by end of 2008.

  3. 360 collections • 5,000,000 digitised ‘items’ i.e.: pages, articles, audio and video records, books, web pages, etc . • 100,000,000 plus metadata records – catalogues, union catalogues etc.

  7. Access to National Libraries Resources & the need for Persistent Identifiers • Little digitised – no clamour • Most was under the z39:50 protocol and held in proprietary library systems using internal reference linking But • Over next 2-5 years 100 million plus works to be digitised • Born digital • OAI-PMH for harvesting

  8. Access to National Libraries Resources & Current Status of Persistent Identifiers • CENL recommendations • NBN’s • Appropriate Copy • SURFnet • IDF Foundation

  9. Access to National Libraries Resources & Current Status of Persistent Identifiers • CENL recommendations • As guarantors of durable independent access to digital collections a resolution service has to be put in place • This resolution service to be based on URN’s primarily from the NBN namespace • Each National Library has or will set up own resolver service to provide persistent access to its own collections. • By agreeing and deploying standards and coordination for the local set up of such services automatically achieve the National Libraries Resolver Discovery Service • URN service to also take into account other existing persistent identifier schemes • To guarantee long term resolutions of DOI’s, beyond commercial interest the requesters, under specified conditions, to be redirected by the DOI system to the National Libraries Resolver Service and therefore to digital deposit collections.

  10. Access to National Libraries Resources & Current Status of Persistent Identifiers • NBN’s • Because these were already in use • ‘Item’ not ‘Work’ • Appropriate Copy • Resolver to possibly support enforcement of authorisation with additional identity management in place • SURFnet • Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands proposal for a Global Resolver of Persistent Identifiers. In cooperation with representatives of the Hopkins and Berkley Universities (US) a working proof of concept has been developed. (https://www.surfgroepen.nl/sites/surfshare/public/software/pihandler • IDF Foundation • Costs of belonging perceived to be not worth the return • Would like to resolve the issue of ‘copy of last resort’

  11. Access to National Libraries Resources Barriers to using DOI’s • Lack of real or perceived need • Not invented here • Not in hock to someone else • No centralised will • Competition for Appropriate Copy • Cost But these are also opportunities

  12. EU Vision for a European digital library “A common multilingual access point would make it possible to search Europe’s distributed – that is to say, held in different places by different organisations – digital cultural heritage online. Such an access point would increase its visibility and underline common features. The access point should build on existing initiatives such as The European Library (TEL), in which Europe’s libraries already cooperate. It should where possible closely associate private holders of rights in cultural material and all interested stakeholders. A strong commitment by the Member states and cultural institutions to arrive at such an access point should be encouraged.” European Union Communiqué August 2006

  13. For the users it is not important whether the sources ofknowledge and experience are kept by archives, libraries or museums, but to get access to the sources they want, and to be able to use these sources across types of sources and sectors of institutions.

  19. Europeana.eu and Persistent Identifiers • Huge amount of digitised material • Need Persistent Identifiers to: • prevent broken links, • ensure appropriate copy

  20. Europeana.eu – whither Persistent Identifiers? • Each domain needs to be convinced • A standard should be promoted • A simple registry or ? • How shall we do this?
