IDF Members meeting 2004

doi>

• 67 people, from 48 organisations– A larger number of attendees than ever

• Invited participants from other sectors – 32 from 28 non-member organisations

• Evolving into less of a “members meeting” and more a general DOI seminar. Consequences: – Relatively little time on internal matters for members. – Some non-members may need more background

• Less than last time on detailed technical discussions– Now moved to separate Interoperability Workshop tomorrow– Detailed discussion on Data Dictionary and relevance

• Presentations will be available to members on the member-only section of the DOI web site

doi>IDF meeting 2004

• Progress Report • Director’s summary • Updates from existing applications (RAs)

– Coffee break in middle

– Lunch

• DOI Tools and technologies:– Standards, Tools (API, Data Dictionary) – in outline only

• Where next: some topics • Policy issues in non-commercial use of identifiers• New uses of identifiers in rights applications

– Break

• New uses of identifiers for non-text data • Close and reception

1. Move to full implementation – metadata and multiple resolution

– Increasingly recognised that DOI has worked out the principles and offers solutions

– Now (slowly) moving to use these features– RAs are the front line, but need common underpinnings

2. Continued interaction with others - Good progress with standards organisations (more this

afternoon) and “marketing” explanations- Continued efforts to go beyond text

3. IDF remains sound and on track - Growth of RAs

- Number of RAs increasing- Activities of RAs widening and deepening

- Evolution of Working Groups - Evolution of infrastructure

IDF Annual Meeting, June 2004DOI in context

What do we need to make our vision work?

Certainty of recall Demonstrable authenticity of

recalled object Effective relationship mapping and

multi-linking Organised metadata as primary

level content management This is the promise that DOI must deliver

Relationships, metadata, and DOI

• DOIs could e.g. resolve an ISTC to its ISBNs.

• Multiple resolution allows one entity to be resolved to multiple other entities

• embody a parent-children relationship, or any other relationship. • a feature of the Handle technology, but Handle per se (deliberately) has no pre-existing constraints to make a useful framework (like spreadsheet software )• Used by some RAs for their own applications: CDI MultiLinks

• DOI is an application of Handle which adds this constraint (like a spreadsheet application already written, to add data to).

• In DOI the constraints come from the metadata which defines the entities, • Which is the data dictionary approach: enables one to express relationships• Enables the relationships to be interoperable • Application Profiles (grouping) and Services

Focus of tomorrow’s workshop

Main themes in 2004 doi>

Marketing the concept

• Promoting basic concepts is a role of IDF• Simplified Handbook • DOI Factsheets (on web site) • Simplified presentations (on web site)

• Director focusses on basic infrastructure and applications in new areas• e.g. Persistent Identifiers • e.g. JISC DRM, CODATA, etc

• RAs focus on building applications in their existing sectors

doi>

Update on some key relationships

• EAN/UCC (to become GS1)• Following on from last years interactions• Discussions under way; we have been asked to make a proposal

• CONTECS:DD consortium • Presentations to MPA and IFPI/RIAA• offering DOI as a tool to implement MPEG RDD

• Mi3P (music industry)• Still interested but other issues to deal with

• cIDF (Japan)• Not followed up but new member MMG

• NISO, Editeur, ISO, MPEG etc • (see later Standards discussion)

Assumes no new RAs, same membership

IDF Working Groups

RA Working Group• Now very active; separate chair (Ed Pentz)

Technology Working Group • Small group, but occasionally active esp on URI etc

Original concept was for other application-focus working groups:• DOI-X (Cross-Linking) : led to CrossRef • DOI- E book: led to useful output; impact on e.g. AAP Study

Need for application–focussed WGs may lessen • In commercial area, as RAs take off, possible competition• Patents; new WG investigating what can be done in “pre-competitive” mode; possible collaborative funding • Scientific data? Commercial activity expected to be less active?• Other media types etc – at least for initial feasibility work

“Affiliate Member” status was invented for WGs; still relevant?

doi>

IDF Infrastructure

Resolution • Continued IDF relationship with CNRI • Participation in Handle System AC (IDF, CrossRef) • Proxy server policies recently established by RAWG • Options for scaling up being examined

Data Dictionary • Following same model of “outsourcing” • OntologyX • Initially on consultancy basis, moving to longer term relationship

GovernanceBoard (and RAWG) are continuing to review evolution of membership representation, fees etc

• Vice Chair RAWG
