OLE Design Service-based workflow

Nuanced authorization o OLS supports large financial expenditures for resources, policy setting for circulation, metadata template creation for cataloging, etc. o Authorization will often be at the resource level, e.g., XMP license header in an electronic book or image. XACML embargo statement in a an electronic dissertation METS package.

Enterprise IdM Replaces Static Patron Files o Supports user privacy – transaction audit trails -- Need to maintain state, and user handle, until transaction is cleared (may be minutes, weeks, months, years) User borrows a book with a semester-long circulation period o Need to harvest attributes for usage information. Book was borrowed by a graduate student in chemistry

Institutional identification o Need identification of academic units to support such as departmental library portals and attribute harvesting for collection and service usage statistics by department and role within department. o Need robust identification of institutions to support consortial, collaborative initiatives
