Dear All At the OAI Geneva I undertook to do the following:
2. Investigate OAI and OAF email archives for prior discussion and synthesize 3. Open the discussion with the intention of constructing a model/s to address perceived problems. We will need a statement of the problem/s and suggested solutions (some already articulated on Saturday) At present we have completed item 2 and and are now compiling a table of all e-Print archives (that we can find!) with an annotation of what subject classification they 'appear' to be using : LOC; DDC; In House Classification (possibly based on LOC or another); In House terminology; Faculty/Dept/Group; None. We hope to have completed this work by the end of next week and will be placing it on the web for validation and additions. This will then form the basis of discussion on the way forward. I will email the list again when we have done this. If any of you know of the existence of such a table already please let me know (and send it to me) so that we do not duplicate effort. It has taken longer than I thought but I believe this evidence gathering exercise will be a worthwhile tool in our deliberations concerning harvesting and interoperability between institutional and discipline based e-Print archives. best wishes Pauline ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pauline Simpson, Head of Information Services, Southampton Oceanography Centre and Faculty Liaison Leader for Science, Engineering and Math and TARDIS (Univ Southampton e-Prints) Project Manager University of Southampton Waterfront Campus, European Way, Southampton, SO14 3ZH, England Tel: +44-(0)23 8059 6111: Fax +44-(0)23 8059 6115 email: p...@soc.soton.ac.uk ; p...@soton.ac.uk Web : http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk _______________________________________________ OAI-eprints mailing list oai-epri...@lists.openlib.org http://lists.openlib.org/mailman/listinfo/oai-eprints
