Re: Open Archives Initiative
Dear all: We are pleased to announce the availability of the new open archives initiative web site at http://www.openarchives.org. This new site is served from Cornell University - the former site was served from Los Alamos National Labs Library. We are grateful for the excellent support by LANL library since the inception of the OAI. Because of the mechanics of DNS, it may take a couple of days for the name resolution to propagate across the network. Please be patient if you still are resolved to the old site. The new site incorporates a number of improvements: - easier and more uniform navigaton across OAI information - shortcuts from the home page to core documents and information - opportunities for formation and links to OAI communities. We invite you to use the submit a post to our web site feature available from the home page so that we can link to OAI related information from your community. As always feedback is welcome to openarchi...@openarchives.org. Thanks, Herbert Van de Sompel Carl Lagoze --- Carl Lagoze, Digital Library Scientist Department of Computer Science Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 USA Phone: +1-607-255-6046 FAX: +1-607-255-4428 email: lag...@cs.cornell.edu WWW: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/lagoze/lagoze.html ___ OAI-general mailing list oai-gene...@oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu http://oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/oai-general
Re: Open Archives Initiative
Experimental OAI-based Digital Library Systems Workshop
to be held in conjunction with:
5th European Conference on Research and
Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries
September 4-9 2001, Darmstadt, Germany
http://www.ecdl2001.org/
Workshop Date: September 8 2001
Workshop Duration: Full-day
Workshop URL : http://www.cs.odu.edu/OaiEcdlWorkshop
Worshop Paper Submission Deadline: July 10, 2001
The objective of the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) is to develop a
simple, lightweight framework to facilitate the discovery of content
in distributed archives (http://www.openarchives.org). The focus of
this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of digital
libraries who are building OAI-based systems in order to share their
experiences, problems they are facing, and approaches they are taking
to address them. The workshop will consist of a few invited talks from
well-established researchers working in building OAI-based digital
library system along with short paper presentations.
Topics of Interest
--
We invite submissions describing experiences with OAI based system
building and reporting on results on the following, non exhaustive,
list of relevant topics:
- OAI based data and service providers
- Unified interface for searching heterogeneous libraries
- Metadata mapping across different libraries
- Harvesting metadata for building higher level services
- Issues in harvesting multilingual digital libraries
- Scalable digital library architectures
- Business models for sustainable digital libraries
Submission Information
--
- Papers should be at most 2000 words in length.
- Please submit your paper in Postscript or PDF formats.
- See http://www.cs.odu.edu/OaiEcdlWorkshop for further submission

ps, there is just today an interesting article in the Cronicle of HE Scholars Urge a Boycott of Journals That Won't Release Articles to Free Archives http://chronicle.com/free/2001/03/2001032601t.htm Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel
Re: Open Archives Initiative
There are a number of new items accessible from the OAI web page that we'd like to call your attention to: 1. Slides from the Washington DC meeting on January 23 (http://www.openarchives.org/DC2001/OpenMeeting.html). 2. Slides from the Berlin meeting on February 26 (http://www.openarchives.org/Berlin2001/OpenMeeting.html). 3. A list of currently registered OAI-conformant repositories (http://oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu/Register/BrowseSites.pl) 4. A list of tools for implementers that were developed by members of the OAI community (http://www.openarchives.org/tools/tools.htm). In the near future we will be posting a newly designed web site to improve access to the growing list of resources at http://www.openarchives.org.

Re: Open Archives Initiative
MEETING OF THE OPEN ARCHIVES INITIATIVE, WASHINGTON DC JANUARY 23, 2001 === The Open Archives Initiative (http://www.openarchives.org) (OAI) develops and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. An Open Meeting to make public the release of the OAI specifications for metadata harvesting will be held on January 23rd 2001 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington DC. The goal of the specifications is to provide an easy way for data providers to expose their metadata and for service providers to access that metadata and use it as input to value-added services. Complete information on the meeting and a registration form (registration is required) is available at http://www.openarchives.org/DC2001/OpenMeeting.html. -- UPS mail list Mail submissions to u...@vole.lanl.gov To subscribe or unsubscribe visit http://vole.lanl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ups
