SUSHI, COUNTER and ERM Systems An Update on Usage Standards Ressources électroniques dans les bibliothèques électroniques : Mesure et Usage Lille 3, vendredi 28 Novembre 2008 Oliver Pesch EBSCO Information Services opesch@ebsco.com Hello, I am Oliver Pesch, I work at EBSCO as chief strategist for information technologies. As part of my duties, I am involved in a number of international standards activities, including COUNTER and NISO Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative. Today I will be focusing on mainly on SUSHI.

SUSHI “The Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) Protocol standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.93) defines an automated request and response model for the harvesting of electronic resource usage data utilizing a Web services framework.” http://www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi

The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Overview The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Implementing SUSHI for libraries Relationship with ERMs Importance of Release 3 of COUNTER Code of Practice The future of SUSHI SUSHI is a recent standard that follows a progression of many other standards. A short discussion of this progression of standards will help put SUSHI in perspective before talk about what it is (in greater detail) and describe how it works. SUSHI is a tool to help librarians, so we will talk about how it is being implemented then explore the relationship between SUSHI and E-Resource Management systems. Release 3 of the COUNTER Code of Practice is an important milestone in that it makes SUSHI support a requirement for content providers. This advancement will have a great impact on SUSHI… but SUSHI’s future will also be secured by efforts of NISO in promoting and supporting this standard. Plus SUSHI has some possible applications beyond COUNTER usage reports.

Overview The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Implementing SUSHI for libraries Relationship with ERMs Importance of Release 3 of COUNTER Code of Practice The future of SUSHI

Timeline for usage related standards efforts A number of information standards have been developed over time. Here is a time-line of some of the major ones. In the interests of time, we will only highlight the key ones.

Timeline for usage related standards efforts Growing need for statistics but few vendors provide ICOLC Guidelines Credibility and consistency problems COUNTER codes of practice A number of information standards have been developed over time. Here is a time-line of some of the major ones. In the interests of time, we will only highlight the key ones. Consolidation and reporting needed Usage Consolidation Modules Gathering and processing files Legend SUSHI problem solution

Overview The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Implementing SUSHI for libraries Relationship with ERMs Importance of Release 3 of COUNTER Code of Practice The future of SUSHI

A more efficient data exchange model SUSHI: Objectives COUNTER statistics provides a good model and rules for usage statistics counting Librarians needed: A more efficient data exchange model Current model is file-by-file spreadsheet download Background query and response model is more efficient and scalable COUNTER provides an excellent model for usage data; however, librarians need a more efficient method for getting the data. Currently they must download spreadsheets a file at-a-time from each vendor site then load them. A background query/response model is much more efficient and scalable – in other words, automate the process.

SUSHI: What it is and Isn’t A web-services model for requesting data Replaces the user’s need to download files from vendor’s website A request for data where the response includes COUNTER data Using COUNTER’s schema What it isn’t: A model for counting usage statistics A usage consolidation application

SUSHI: COUNTER Reports Usage Reports Journal Report 1 Full text article requests by month and journal Journal Report 2 Turnaways by month and journal Database Report 1 Total searches and sessions by month and database Database Report 2 Turnaways by month and database Database Report 3 Searches and sessions by month and service SUSHI leverages two important COUNTER reports.

SUSHI : The Exchange Report Request Report Response <Requester> <Customer Reference> <Report Definition> Report Response <Requester> <Customer Reference> <Report Definition> <Report as payload> Now lets look at SUSHI. The data exchange is simple. The request contains the Requester, the customer and the report to be report returned with date parameters includes. The response is equally simple – with the COUNTER report, in XML, returned as the payload.

The Library’s ERM and Content Provider’s systems are both connected to the internet. Library Content Provider Internet

Usage Consolidation Program The SUSHI client is software that runs on the library’s server, usually associated with an ERM system. Library Content Provider Usage Consolidation Program Internet SUSHI Client

Usage Consolidation Program The SUSHI server is software that runs on the Content Provider’s server, and has access to the usage data. Library Content Provider Usage Consolidation Program Internet SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program When the usage management system wants a COUNTER report, it sends a request to the SUSHI client, which prepares the request. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Internet Request SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program The SUSHI request is sent to the Content Provider. The request specifies the report and the library the report is for. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Request Internet SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program The SUSHI server reads processes the request creates the COUNTER report in XML format. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Internet SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) COUNTER Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program A response message is prepared according to the SUSHI XML schema. And the COUNTER XML Is added. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Internet Response SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) COUNTER Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program The COUNTER report (XML) is added to the Response as its payload. The response is sent to the client. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Internet Response SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) COUNTER Usage Data

Usage Consolidation Program The SUSHI client processes the response and extracts the COUNTER report. Library Content Provider ? Usage Consolidation Program Response Internet SUSHI Client SUSHI Server (web service) COUNTER Usage Data

Overview The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Implementing SUSHI for libraries Relationship with ERMs Importance of Release 3 of COUNTER Code of Practice The future of SUSHI

Implementing SUSHI SUSHI is not a stand-alone application, it works with another system to retrieve COUNTER usage reports The COUNTER reports are in XML format so they are not readable by humans; therefore, COUNTER reports need to be loaded into another system for processing and reporting For SUSHI to be effective, a Usage Management system must be in place

Developing a Usage Management System Check-list of general features Database to store usage data and relate it to titles in databases and packages and the platforms where they are hosted Data structure to allow usage to be consolidated (be able to find all usage for a particular title) A mechanism to load COUNTER reports A method of matching variants of titles and variant ISSNs An interface to generate reports

Developing a Usage Management System Check-list of features for SUSHI implementation Develop a SUSHI client Store SUSHI related data about the hosts of content Are they SUSHI compliant? URL of their SUSHI server and login credentials Day of month to retrieve reports Create a scheduler to detect when its time to harvest the usage and automatically start the SUSHI client Create a mechanism to process and import COUNTER data in XML format Add some error handling

Overview The progression of usage standards SUSHI : what it is and how it works Implementing SUSHI for libraries Relationship with ERMs Importance of Release 3 of COUNTER Code of Practice The future of SUSHI

Relationship with ERMs ERMs are a central place for information about e-resources Including information on costs of those e-resources ERMs are used to assist with making decisions based on the value of resources and return on investment Usage is one factor in determining value Usage evaluation often includes cost analysis as well (cost-per-use and cost-per-search metrics) Combining usage with the ERM makes sense

Recap of Release 3 of the Journals and Databases Code of Practice Key features… New reports Journal Report 1a (full text requests by archive) Journal Report 5 (breakdown by year of publication) Consortium reports (for full text requests by title and searches by database with breakdown by consortium member) Data processing Federated searching Internet robots and archives like LOCKSS Reports must be available in XML format Revised COUNTER XML Schema SUSHI support becomes a requirement for compliance Release 3 of the COUNTER code of practice is now the official release on the COUNTER web site. THis release addresses some issues with producing reports for consortia. It also clarifies how usage driven by federated search, internet robots and browser prefetching should be handled. Reports must be in XML format – and that format is supported by a revised COUNTER Schema. The most important change is that a vendor will need to support SUSHI in order to be compliant.

Future of SUSHI: Beyond COUNTER reports SUSHI was designed as a general protocol for retrieving XML “reports” SUSHI can be used for other usage reports SUSHI can also be used for other XML “messages”, for example, automate delivery of: Holdings data with ONIX-SOH License terms with ONIX PL

Oliver Pesch opesch@ebsco.com Summary COUNTER provides the consistency and credibility ERM Systems/Usage Consolidation service provide the tools for more effective consolidation and reporting of usage data SUSHI acts as an enabling technology by allowing Usage Consolidation modules to automate the harvesting of COUNTER reports Release 3 of COUNTER Codes of Practice, will turn the theory and promise of these systems into reality by making make SUSHI support a requirement for compliance.
