Extractions: Open Archives Initiative Appoints Steering Committee Washington, D.C.The Open Archives Initiative (OAi) has established a steering committee to guide its development and promote its adoption as an enabling framework for the development of innovative networked information services. In addition, the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) have agreed jointly to supply some organized support and resources for the ongoing OAi effort. Santa Fe convention ," along with preliminary ideas about acceptable use policies, registries, and other issues. A subsequent workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM Digital Libraries meeting in San Antonio in June 2000, reviewed experiences in implementing the Santa Fe convention and mapped out issues that needed to be addressed. Out of that meeting came a consensus that the Santa Fe convention will be revised and updated with the intent of producing a new version of the document by January 2001. The newly established steering committee will oversee these efforts and will assemble technical experts as required. In addition, there is considerable interest in extending the concepts developed at the Santa Fe convention beyond their initial context in order to support metadata harvesting for a wider range of digital resources of academic and scholarly interest. Besides e-prints and electronic texts, such resources include science and social science data sets, visual materials, archival collections, geographic information system data, sound and music, and video. This work is being pursued under the auspices of the DLF, with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Unlike the project involving the e-print archives, this effort is still highly experimental and requires validation through implementation experience. The steering committee will also help to guide the integration of this effort into the further evolution of the Santa Fe convention.

Instructional materials would include texts, course materials, syllabi, workbooks, self-instructional materials, and bibliographies. Upon selection as the implementation site, the institution will have one month to develop an implementation plan for review by ACRL and CNI, who will also provide consultation during this period.
Extractions: The Coalition for Networked Information is pleased to announce that it has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Title IIB program to assist with funding the second year of its New Learning Communities initiative. The Coalition will offer a program consisting of three components that encompass a total of five days of face-to- face interaction and several months or longer of online interaction. The centerpiece of the program is a three-day conference based on the successful New Learning Communities conference that the Coalition offered last year. Following on this year's three day program, two other events will be used to disseminate the lessons learned from the events of both years and to stimulate additional institutions to develop similar curricular projects. All three events will emphasize the role of networked information (content), not just networks (conduit), and the expertise of the librarian as a team member in developing new or revised curriculum. Participation in the three-day conference will be invitational. Institutional teams will be selected from respondents to the Call posted below. The second and third events in the program will be open registration conferences.

Extractions: The Coalition for Networked Information was founded in 1990 by the Association of Research Libraries, EDUCOM and CAUSE. Institutional members representing higher education, publishing, network and telecommunications, information technology, and libraries and library organizations support the organization. It works on a variety of issues related to developing networked information content, transforming organizations, professions and individuals as well as building technology, standards and infrastructure. The organization supports a wide variety of projects developed by member institutions and hosts two meetings a year. This year the Fall meeting was held December 13-14, l999 in Phoenix, AZ, and the spring meeting was held in Washington, DC, March 17-28, 2000. The general format for these meetings is to have a keynote speaker and many smaller breakout sessions reporting on progress on the various initiatives which are underway. Members can also use breakout sessions to propose new work and seek partners within the organization. The impact of CNI has been impressive. It is this group that collaborated on the CUPID project, examined teaching and learning via the network, worked on the Z39.50 standards and resources project.

Extractions: January 1995 The vast network of networks known as the Internet or the Information Highway is not controlled by any one organization or governing body. There are a number of organizations in North America working to resolve the policy and administrative issues needed to support this evolving information and communications infrastructure. The distinctions between these various groups can be a source of confusion for newcomers or those who do not "surf" the network regularly. The following is a brief list and description of the major North American organizations contributing to the development of a networked information infrastructure. Canadian Network for the Advancement of Research, Industry and Education (CANARIE) CANARIE is an initiative supported by government, industry and the research community to develop an advanced, high- speed, high-capacity, research network for Canada. Its mission is "to support the development of the communications infrastructure for a knowledge-based Canada and thereby contribute to Canadian competiveness in all sectors of the economy, to prosperity, to job creation and to quality of life". A consortia called CANARIE, Inc., comprised of business, research and industry interests is charged with upgrading the bandwidth capacity of the national network (CA*net) and promoting research and development of networked applications.

Extractions: Identifiers are an enormously powerful tool for communication within and between communities. For example, the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) has played a central role in facilitating business communications between booksellers and publishers; it has also been important to libraries in identifying materials. The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) plays a pivotal role in facilitating commerce among publishers, libraries, and serials jobbers; it is also vital to libraries in managing their own internal processes, such as serials check-in. Bibliographic utility identifier numbers such as the OCLC or RLIN numbers are used in duplicate detection and consolidation in the construction of online union catalog databases. The traditional bibliographic citation can be viewed as an identifier of sorts, albeit one that is not rigorously defined; it has many variations in style and data elements based on editorial policies. Yet, the ability to cite is central both to the construction of the record of discourse for our civilization and to the development of scholarship; the citation plays an essential role in allowing authors to reference other works, and in permitting readers to locate these works. Today's standard browsers do not yet understand URNs and how to invoke resolvers to convert them to URLs, but hopefully this support will be forthcoming in the not too distant future. One can reasonably view the URN framework as the means by which both existing and new identifier systems will be moved into the networked environment. The URN framework is intended to be sufficiently flexible to subsume virtually all existing bibliographic identifiers (sometimes referred to as 'legacy' identifier systems); for example, the IETF working group documented how the ISSN, ISBN, and SICI might be implemented as URNs.

Mission Statement The mission of the Coalition for Networked Information is to promote the creation of and access to information resources in networked environments in order to enrich scholarship and to enhance intellectual productivity. The Coalition pursues its mission by seeking to realize the information distribution and access potential of existing and proposed high performance computers and networks that support the research and educational activities of a wide variety of institutions and organizations. The Coalition accomplishes this realization by undertaking activities, on its own and in partnership with others, that formulate, promulgate, evaluate, and promote policies and protocols that enable powerful, flexible, and universal access to networked information resources. The Coalition directs the combined intellectual, technological, professional, and financial resources of its members to a shared vision of how the nature of information management is changing and will continue to change through the end of the 20th Century and into the beginning of the 21st. Goals and Objectives To inspire, by promulgating vision statements that (a) project the future characteristics and capabilities of high performance computers and advanced networks, and (b) analyze those characteristics and capabilities in terms of their likely impacts, both positive and negative, on research and educational communication. To inform, by identifying, endorsing, supporting, and coordinating projects that (a) are collaborative, (b) seek to advance the understanding of or the state-of-the-art relative to the vision statements, (c) recognize the need for open architectures and standards, and (d) fully disclose their objectives, methods, and findings. To influence, by advocating principles, guidelines, and positions that address the behavioral, social, cultural, and economic processes and structures that both enable and constrain the use of high performance computers and advanced networks as infrastructures for research and educational communication. To synergize, by providing opportunities for senior administrators of libraries and senior administrators of information technologies in higher education institutions to work with comparable administrators from other institutions and organizations in a common enterprise to shape a shared future. Organizational Strategy The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), CAUSE, and EDUCOM comprise the Coalition which functions as an activity of ARL that takes direction from CAUSE and EDUCOM through their chief executives. The Coalition carries out its work through a Task Force of institutions and organizations that pay its assessed dues, actively engage in its program of work, and are governed by its leadership. The Coalition Task Force is composed of the senior administrator of libraries and the senior administrator of information technologies of higher education member institutions and comparable leaders and officers from other member institutions and organizations. The positions assumed and activities undertaken by the Coalition and its Task Force are coordinated by a nine person Steering Committee appointed by the chief executives of ARL, CAUSE, and EDUCOM with each executive naming three members. The Steering Committee charges and forms Working Groups to focus the attention of the Task Force in general areas or on specific tasks in which collaborative thought, planning, and action are necessary to pursue the mission of the Coalition or to achieve one or more of its goals and objectives. The Task Force meets for two days and an evening each March in order to establish the general terms of reference for its program and budget and for two days and an evening each November to advance progress on specific tasks and to update information on specific projects.

Extractions: ZVON RFC Repository RFC 1689 Frontpage Contents Prev Next ... mondera coupons As the network has grown, along with it there has been an increase in the number of software tools and applications to navigate the network and make use of the many, varied resources which are part of the network. Within the past two and a half years we have seen a widespread adoption of tools such as the archie servers, the Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS), the Internet gopher, and the Worldwide Web (WWW). In addition to the acceptance of these tools there are also diverse efforts to enhance and customise these tools to meet the needs of particular network communities. There are many organisations and associations that are focusing on the proliferating resources and tools for networked information retrieval (NIR). The Networked Information Retrieval Group is a cooperative effort of three major players in the field of NIR: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Association of European Research Networks (RARE) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), specifically tasked to collect and disseminate information about the tools and to discuss and encourage cooperative development of current and future tools. The purpose of this report is to increase the awareness of NIR by bringing together in one place information about the various networked information retrieval tools, their developers, interested organisations, and other activities that relate to the production, dissemination, and support of NIR tools. The intention is to make this a "living document". It will be held on-line so that each section may be updated separately as appropriate. In addition, it is intended that the full document will be updated once a year so that it provides a "snapshot" report on activities in this area.
