CORE Cost of Resource Exchange A Work in Progress

What?  An effort to build on the White Paper published by Medeiros et al regarding data elements for exchange between ILS, ERM, and other systems

Why?  ERM customers say that they want to be able to look up Acq information while working in their ERM  Leverages data investment in individual modules, shares rather than duplicates  Realization that single ILS hegemony is giving way to a multi-vendor environment

Who?  Ted Koppel, Ex Libris  Jeff Aipperspach, Serials Solutions  Ed Riding, SirsiDynix  Maybe you?

Projected work plan  Ed, Jeff, Ted discuss data elements  Contact ERMI2-Medeiros group  SirsiDynix & Ex Libris – check on ability to export  Prepare “discussion paper” draft (September 2007)  Invite other vendors to read/react – (Oct-Nov. 2007)  Discuss and decide on delivery mechanism(s) (December-January)  Data exchange – proof of concept. (Feb.-Mar.08)  Enter standards track (early 2008)  Standard (some time in 2008)

Immediate next steps  Contact other vendors  III – VTLS – Polaris – TLC/CARL – EBSCO – Koha – Evergreen, etc.  Get their input on deliverable data  Inform ERM user community  Keep it simple and achievable
