CEN/ISSS DC workshop, January The UK approach to subject gateways Rachel Heery UKOLN University of Bath UKOLN is funded by the Library and Information Commission, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Higher Education Funding Councils, as well as by project funding from the JISC and the European Union. UKOLN also receives support from the University of Bath where it is based.

2 Outline : In the beginning…..SOSIG eLib gateways and ROADS RDN and DNER Issues… funding structure, project culture, push for portals, opportunities

In the beginning ….

4 Leading up to eLib SOSIG - pioneer service - community based - provided model Follett report 1993 ….. FIGIT …eLib programme 1995

5 The eLib subject gateways ADAM - Art, Media and Design BizEd - Business education EEVL - engineering OMNI - biomedical SOSIG - social sciences IHR - History ROADS - enabling software and support

6 Subject gateway added value - Selection of high quality Internet resources - Service to specific disciplinary communities - Hand crafted descriptions - Subject access based on assigned classification and subject terms, links to thesauri

7 ROADS objectives To develop shareable software for resource discovery services To support subject gateways with tools and guidelines To implement and test standards To enable information providers to describe their own resources

8 ROADS choices Metadata format IAFA templates …ROADS templates - fit for purpose - simple - text based - they were there! Search Protocol WHOIS++ - simple, lightweight - enabled query routing - Internet standard - not Z39.50!

Time passes…. 1999

10 Gateways in production Gateways Collections of descriptions UK and international collections Integration with harvested metadata ROADS Cross searching incorporating query routing Involvement in Dublin Core, RDF activity Z39.50 add ons ROADS now open source software -

11 Subject gateway environment eLib funding coming to end… Most are not embedded in institution Operate within a project-based culture Policy fragmented across sectors In competition with each other and with private sector suppliers Innovative, enthusiastic, committed Interested collaborators across sectors

The next step…. RDN

13 The Resource Discovery Network Extending coverage Integrating access Developing subject based portals for educational communities Establishing new organisational and business models

14 Resource Discovery Network SOSIG RDNC SOSIG BIOME EMC Hubs Centre HUMBUL SciGate Creative Arts and Industries... HUMBUL SciGate Creative Arts and Industries...

15 Resource discovery network centre (RDNC) Promoting and developing the network Establishing a framework to ensure quality, consistency, and interoperability across the network Presenting gateways in various views to exploit their interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral value

16 RDNC broker SOSIG EMC BIOME RDNC Broker ‘ResourceFinder’

17 RDN: Extending Collections harvested metadata pre-prints and grey literature “unpublished” data resources mirrors

18 RDN: Business Models Centralised funding (Netherlands) Shared public investment model (RDN) Co-operative development model (ISAAC) Membership model (OCLC) Commercial models (individual record sale, wholesale record exchange and subscription, subsidiary sale and advertising, etc.)

19 RDN: Interoperability framework Agreed protocol and profile : Z39.50 with Bath profile Drawing up cataloguing guidelines : rules for content, mandatory fields, schemes and qualifiers Ambition to provide common subject approach for cross browsing

Future…..

21 DNER Portals... Extending gateways in breadth and depth customised user search tools and user profiling integration with teaching and learning ….. while retaining existing strengths of the subject gateways….

22 Collaborative cataloguing Collaboration between metadata creators - shared workspace:BIBLINK, CORC Sharing metadata - import/export:SOSIG and DutchESS Distributed metadata creation - linking metadata for same resource

23 International Collaboration Renardus: European networked subject gateway pilot service Partners include several national libraries and other large scale initiatives IMesh: informal links with Europe, US and Australia IMesh toolkit: architecture and toolkit for distributed subject gateways Internet Scout, UKOLN and ILRT

24 Improved metadata management SCHEMAS project Support for implementers of schemas To provide focus for sharing information about metadata schemas To establish metadata registries to facilitate definition, mappings For use by human and software agents
