  1. The OpenURL Standard Nettie Lagace (@abugseye) NISO Associate Director for Programs CEAL Workshop on Electronic Resources Standards and Best PracticesMarch 25, 2014

  2. What’s NISO? Non-profit industry trade association accredited by ANSI with 150+ members Mission of developing and maintaining standards related to information, documentation, discovery and distribution of published materials and media Represent US interests to ISO TC46 (Information and Documentation) and also serve as Secretariat for ISO TC46/SC 9 (Identification and Description) Responsible for standards like ISSN, DOI, Dublin Core metadata, DAISY digital talking books, OpenURL, SIP, NCIP, MARC records and ISBN (indirectly) Volunteer driven organization: 400+ spread out across the world

  3. Premise of “Standards” Consensus standards created by a community with various stakeholders Trust Leading to broader acceptance Standards as plumbing Standards facilitate trade, commerce and innovation Standards reduce costs Standards support better communication and interoperability across systems

  4. ANSI Standards Openness, lack of dominance, balance = everyone affected has a voice Notifications, consideration of views and objections Consensus votes and appeals ANSI patent policy, commercial terms and conditions Publication and maintenance Credible & have Integrity

  5. Typical flow of OpenURL Source http://sfx.calstate.edu:9003/sanmarcos?sid=google&aulast=NationalDiabetes Data Group&atitle=Classification an diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and other categories of glucose intolerance&id=pmid:510803 Link Resolver(includes KB & other programs) Target http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/28/12/1039

  6. Possible application of OpenURL Link Resolver(includes KB & other programs) http://sfx.calstate.edu:9003/sanmarcos?id=doi:10.4161/auto.19496 1. DOI Link resolver 2. metadata http://dx.doi.org/10.4161/auto.19496

  7. OpenURL function • Enables transfer of metadata • From an information resource • To a service component (link resolver) that can determine and provide context-sensitive services for the metadata

  8. Types of OpenURL Sources A&I databases Online journals (references in articles) OPACs E-print archives Your local data repositories

  9. OpenURL Format • Base_URL • Server address of service component • Content • Elements of the metadata or pointer to metadata in a public syntax • Information supporting delivery of services • Example: • http://sfx.aaa.edu/menu?genre=article&issn=1234-5678&volume=12&issue=3&spage=1&epage=8&date=1998&aulast=Smith&aufirst=Paul

  10. Base_URL • Information Providers need to know which BASE_URL to insert into OpenURLs … in order to provide correct/local service menu/ links … • User Profiles • IP address identification • CookiePusher mechanism • Digital Certificates …?

  12. OpenURL standardization • Committee AX – worked 2001-2003 • Utilized initial draft spec (Beit-Arie, Hochstenbach, Van de Sompel) as input (adopted as OpenURL 0.1) [http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/sfxopenurl01syntax] • Standardized as ANSI/NISO Z39.88-2004 (R2010) • Maintenance Agency: OCLC • OpenURL Registry: http://oclc.org/research/activities/registry.html • 2015: Due for review!
