5 2005-06-24NCeSS 20055 IESR Entities Collection ServiceAgent administers owns provides access

6 2005-06-24NCeSS 20056 IESR Entity Description Entities identified with URI Described by metadata Based on open standards IESR terms defined in IESR namespace Metadata defined by Application Profile –Semantics –Occurrence –Searchable

7 2005-06-24NCeSS 20057 IESR Collection Metadata Based on RSLP Collection Description Simplification for electronic resources Consistent with DCMI Collection Description Application Profile

8 2005-06-24NCeSS 20058 Vocabulary Encoding Schemes Defined in Application Profile Single backbone subject scheme –Dewey Decimal Classification System Other common vocabularies supported iesr:usesControlledList –IESR defined list (extensible) –terminology service; item level search

9 2005-06-24NCeSS 20059

10 2005-06-24NCeSS 200510 IESR Service Metadata More than RSLP CD ‘locator’ Bespoke IESR scheme, uses open standards Single access method: –Z39.50, SOAP, OAI-PMH, Web/CGI Location URL Interface property for some service types

11 2005-06-24NCeSS 200511

12 2005-06-24NCeSS 200512 Other Service types SOAP: –Locator: access URL –Interface: WSDL OAI-PMH: –Locator: BaseURL –Interrogate service (Identify) for details OpenURL: Locator: BaseURL Web CGI: Interface: arguments Web page: Locator: URL

13 2005-06-24NCeSS 200513 IESR Agent and Administrative Metadata Agent: contact details Administrative: –Included with every entity IESR includes: –creating organisation, publisher: IESR –latest modification date –rights to reuse descriptions: Creative Commons

14 2005-06-24NCeSS 200514 IESR Services Z39.50 –Search via Bib-1 –SUTRS; XML OAI-PMH for harvesting Web Services SOAP (planned) –SRW; NISO VIEWS RSS (later) UDDI (under investigation) Web Search and Browse

15 2005-06-24NCeSS 200515 IESR XML Composite Collection record via Z39.50: –Collection –All services that provide access –All agents: Owners of collection Administrators of services Single entity record via OAI-PMH Simple Dublin Core for Interoperability

16 2005-06-24NCeSS 200516 Using IESR Portal –amalgamated set of resources Metasearch on behalf of user –Social Science portal discovers collections –Provides cross-search to end-user –Portal could provide dataset search –Portal builder doesn’t need to know about all resources –Users discover collections unaware of

17 2005-06-24NCeSS 200517 Using IESR Portal: Harvest IESR records –Local service registry –Knowledgebase (convert to appropriate format) –Local configuration file Portal: Link to Web Search - general resource discovery RSS Aggregator: –news feeds; data alerts Reuse collection description

18 2005-06-24NCeSS 200518 Distributed Service Registries Scope of IESR –JISC, UK, international? –Data ownership and maintenance Distributed model –Each node describes own resources –How to cross search? Sharing collection descriptions –Need common metadata schema IESR collaboration with OCKHAM in US

19 2005-06-24NCeSS 200519 IESR Future Current phase until July 2006 More and updated content New IESR services Demonstrating viable IESR use Maintenance of metadata schema –Practical application of collection description Persistence of content
