2 BJTU, Beijing, November 2004 2 Agenda Two of Ex Libris tools for the digital library: SFX and MetaLib A link server: SFX What is SFX? Open linking framework SFX knowledge base SFX as a core of the digital library A library portal: MetaLib What is a library portal? Metasearching Integration of MetaLib in the library environment Verde, the e-resource management system from Ex Libris

3 BJTU, Beijing, November 2004 3 Tools for the Digital Library SFX: a link server, provides context-sensitive links within the library e-collections MetaLib: a library portal, provides a gateway to the library e-resources, metasearching, and personalized services Both originate from an academic research: SFX: Herbert Van de Sompel, Ghent University, Belgium MetaLib: ZIB institution at the KOBV consortium in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany

4 BJTU, Beijing, November 2004 4 Current Status (November, 2004) 680 customers in 33 countries 61% licensed both MetaLib and SFX 68% consortium members, in 44 consortia 54% non-ALEPH customers Active user group, SMUG: www.smugnet.org

12 BJTU, Beijing, November 2004 12 OpenURL version 0.1 is the de facto industry standard OpenURL 1.0 — NISO Z39.88 Enables the transfer of metadata from an information resource (SFX source) to a linking server (SFX server) Must be implemented by the source in order to comply with the OpenURL framework OpenURL

13 BJTU, Beijing, November 2004 13 Step 1: An OpenURL generated by the source and sent to the link server http://sfx.mycollege.edu ?genre=article&atitle=The deterrence hypothesis and picking pockets at the pickpockets hanging&title=American Law and Economics &issn=1465-7252&date=2002 &volume=4&issue=2&spage=295&aulast=Anderson&aufirst=David Step 2: The link server (at sfx.mycollege.edu) extracts metadata from the OpenURL Author: Anderson, David Title: The deterrence hypothesis and picking pockets at the pickpockets hanging Journal: American Law and Economics ISSN: 1465-7252 Date: 2002 Volume: 4 Issue: 2 Page: 295 Step 2: The link server (at sfx.mycollege.edu) extracts metadata from the OpenURL Author: Anderson, David Title: The deterrence hypothesis and picking pockets at the pickpockets hanging Journal: American Law and Economics ISSN: 1465-7252 Date: 2002 Volume: 4 Issue: 2 Page: 295 Step 3: The link server matches data elements against the link server's knowledge base, determines the appropriate services, computes the links, and displays the menu
