Introduction

The task of this workshop is to evaluate different IT-standards that support bibliographic resource sharing including the ISO Interlibrary Loan (ILL), the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) and the OpenURL Framework.

The objective is to propose a general set of informal guidelines with recommendations about which standards to use for different types of resource sharing tasks.

Ref.: http://elag2005.web.cern.ch/elag2005/media/Workshop2.pdf


Background

ISO 10160/10162 Interlibrary Loan Application protocol is complex and difficult to implement in modern Web service applications.

ILL is not necessarily relevant to emerging scenarios where users download copies of electronic resources on-line.

Other standards including NCIP and OpenURL may be better suited to certain types of resource sharing applications.


Discussion Points

What types of resource sharing scenarios are most relevant to support?

What is the current status of ISO ILL, NCIP and OpenURL in terms of actual usage?

Are other standards relevant in relation to resource sharing, e.g. for authentication or IPR management?

Is ISO ILL obsolete in relation to current Web service technologies?

Could NCIP handle some of the same tasks as ISO ILL? Is the OpenURL framework suited to support other types of

resource sharing? Is SRW relevant as a basis for resource sharing Web

services?


ISO ILL Protocol

ISO 10160/10162 Interlibrary Loan Application protocol (ILL)

Comprehensive protocol for ILL transactions between libraries

Asyncronous peer-to-peer protocol with complex state tables is difficult to implement and test

Designed before emergence of Web services and XML Number of (interoperable) implementations < 25 http://www.collectionscanada.ca/iso/ill/standard.htm


NISO NCIP

NISO Z39.83 Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) Protocol for interaction between circulations control

systems E.g. self-service terminals cf. “3M Protocol”

Designed as client-server protocol with XML messages Assumes that a specific physical item is identified

beforehand Number of implementations < 50 http://www.cde.state.co.us/ncip/


NISO OpenURL

NISO OpenURL Framework defines an extensible mechanism to identify bibliographic resources via URL or XML messages on the Web

Implicitly oriented towards non-mediated requests

Details of the response is not specified within the OpenURL framework

Number of implementations > 100 http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/


ZiNG SRW/SRU

ZiNG Search & Retrieve Web service with CQL query language: SRW use HTTP with SOAP encoding SRU use HTTP with URL encoding

General facilities for diagnostic messages and machine readable service specifications

Extensible mechanism to carry other transactions messages than queries

Number of implementations < 50 http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/
