Resumen: La convergencia entre una antigua tradición y una nueva
tecnología ha hecho posible la aparición de un bien público sin precedentes. La
vieja tradición es la voluntad de científicos y eruditos de publicar los frutos
de su trabajo en revistas científicas sin remuneración alguna, solo por el bien
de la investigación y la difusión del conocimiento. La nueva tecnología es
Internet. El beneficio público que las dos posibilitan es la distribución
electrónica a escala mundial de artículos de revistas científicas y técnicas
dotadas de comité de selección (peer review), accesibles de forma gratuita y sin
restricción para científicos, eruditos, universitarios, estudiantes y otras
personas interesadas. La supresión de las barreras de acceso a la literatura
científica ayudará a acelerar la investigación, a enriquecer la educación, a que
se comparta el conocimiento del rico con el del pobre y el del pobre con el del
rico, a convertir esta literatura en un bien útil, y a sentar las bases para
unir a la humanidad a través del diálogo intelectual y de la búsqueda común del
conocimiento. Por varias razones, este tipo de disponibilidad en red, gratuita y
sin restricciones, a la que denominamos acceso abierto (open access) ha estado
hasta el momento limitada a pequeñas áreas de la literatura científica. Pero aun
dentro de la limitación de estas colecciones, distintas iniciativas han mostrado
que el acceso abierto es económicamente viable, que proporciona a los lectores
un poder extraordinario para acceder a literatura relevante, y que brinda a los
autores y a sus trabajos una dimensión nueva, una nueva visibilidad, un nuevo
impacto, y un público más amplio.

Resumen: Son muy numerosos los artículos publicados acerca de lo que
suponen, y pueden suponer, los recursos digitales para el mejor funcionamiento
de las llamadas instituciones de memoria. Pero la mayoría de ellos se refieren a
los recursos digitales como algo que se consume y se pone a disposición de los
usuarios, rara vez como algo que se produce y se pone también a su disposición.
A partir de las funciones propias de cualquier tipo de archivo, se propone crear
recursos digitales acordes con una normativa dada (estructuras de metadatos,
OAIPMH, web semántica, etc.) con la finalidad de incrementar la capacidad de
recuperación de la información y la visibilidad de ésta, tanto para
especialistas como para cualquier tipo de usuario. Europa debe marcarse como
objetivo prioritario desarrollar nuevos sistemas de recuperación de la
información y nuevos productos basados en estándares y protocolos que le
proporcionen una más competitiva posición en la sociedad de la información.

solution to the needs for organizations to exchange information about their
users in a secure, and privacy-preserving manner."i Libraries and academic
institutions see an increasing need for providing protected and validated access
to online resources they produce, license, purchase, or share. Vendors and
publishers are also interested in providing models of access that are different
from the traditional IP-based, proxy server and username/password
authentication. Researchers and teachers who use the web extensively have
rapidly growing requirements for the exchange of information that gives
participants certain rights as well as privacy.

compran o comparten. Los proveedores y editores también están interesados en
ofrecer modelos de acceso diferentes a los tradicionales basados en las
direcciones IP, servidores proxy y autenticación por nombre de
usuario/contraseña. Los investigadores y profesores que utilizan continuamente
la web han ido exigiendo, cada vez más, que el intercambio de información
proporcione a los participantes ciertos derechos, además de privacidad.
Shibboleth se ha desarrollado con el fin de hacer posible la interacción para
compartir recursos entre estos miembros de forma sencilla basada en estándares.

Resumen: Increasingly, the international software development is
dominated by the discussion on the "magic term" Open Source Software (OSS). The
question is adjacent if that concept is also relevant for libraries. This paper,
for a start, focusses on the subject in general terms: What was the origin of
the Open Source movement, which predecessors did she have? Which conditions are
tied to the usage of OSS, which ideas are behind the development of the term?
How are the copyright and utilisation rights covered with OSS? And, finally:
What are success factors for the usage of OSS especially in libraries, and which
concepts already have been developed?

divulgación más ráuida e inmediata HP »u piuuuccion cientmca, y garantizar un
mayor impacto de la misma sobre sus correspondientes círculos o comunidades de
especialistas afínes. Una de estas alternativas es la creación de archivos
abiertos (libres de cualquier tipo de restricción), también conocidos como
repositorios, donde los científicos, a través del denominado autoarchivo,
self-ar-chiving (1), pueden depositar sus artículos incluso antes de su
publicación, para que puedan ser difundidos con mayor rapidez y discutidos por

Resumen: The Library of Congress (LC) was an early adopter of the OAI
Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. The protocol allows LC to make digitized
historical collections available for integration into other services. The
protocol was straightforward to implement and the harvesting traffic has no
perceptible effect on the primary users of the American Memory project. Now that
services can integrate records for cultural heritage resources from many
sources, it is time to build on that experience to develop better services. How
should the scarce resources available to produce metadata be deployed to most
advantage to support discovery in different contexts? How might metadata
harvesting be exploited to support new interfaces and enhanced navigation among
related resources in digital libraries? This article starts a conversation
between metadata providers and service builders by describing LC's experience
and questions that have surfaced.

Resumen: This paper describes the use of the Open Archives Initiative
Protocol for Metadata Harvesting in the NSF's National Science Digital Library
(NSDL). The protocol is used both as a method to ingest metadata into a central
Metadata Repository and also as the means by which the repository exports
metadata to service providers. The NSDL Search Service is used to illustrate
this architecture. An early version of the Metadata Repository was an alpha test
site for version 1 of the protocol and the production repository was a beta test
site for version 2. This paper describes the implementation experience and early
practical tests. Despite some teething troubles and the long-term difficulties
of semantic compatibility, the overall conclusion is optimism that the Open
Archive Initiative will be a successful part of the
NSDL.

filosofía de la OAI (Open Archives Initiative). Crear un procedimiento de
intercambio de información bibliográfica y documentos electrónicos entre
instituciones, con el fin de facilitar el acceso por medios electrónicos a los
últimos resultados de investigación en ciencias de la documentación, es sin duda
una de las posibilidades que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías a nuestra
disciplina. Para ello se ha desarrollado una estructura en torno a dos normas,
una que establece los principios y reglas de colaboración entre los
participantes, denominada Protocolo de Guildford, y otra, ReDIF, que define el
formato para la descripción bibliográfica de los documentos
electrónicos.

Resumen: This paper focuses on the use of NISO OpenURL and MPEG-21
Digital Item Processing (DIP) to disseminate complex objects and their contained
assets, in a repository architecture designed for the Research Library of the
Los Alamos National Laboratory. In the architecture, the MPEG-21 Digital Item
Declaration Language (DIDL) is used as the XML-based format to represent complex
digital objects. Through an ingestion process, these objects are stored in a
multitude of autonomous OAI-PMH repositories. An OAI-PMH compliant Repository
Index keeps track of the creation and location of all those repositories,
whereas an Identifier Resolver keeps track of the location of individual complex
objects and contained assets. An MPEG-21 DIP Engine and an OpenURL Resolver
facilitate the delivery of various disseminations of the stored objects. While
these aspects of the architecture are described in the context of the LANL
library, the paper will also briefly touch on their more general
applicability.

Resumen: The Open Access movement has grown from pockets of regional

relatively little attention has been paid to the myriads of benefits OA provide,
particularly to researchers in the developing countries. In this paper, we
highlight important developments and experimentations in knowledge sharing
enabled by different modes of open access, and point to collaborative and
sustainable models that will be highly beneficial to research institutions in
the developing world in the long term. The recommendations in this paper will
have important implications for library and information professionals working in

Resumen: The tradition of union catalogs and similar broad-based,
comprehensive bibliographic utilities and tools is one of long standing in the
discipline of librarianship. As we move towards greater reliance on digital
primary sources, the sharing of information about what we hold in our digital
collections intuitively seems of increasing import and value as a way to
organize and manage the explosion of online information resources. The Open
Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting enables effective and
efficient sharing of digital metadata and is being utilized across a wide
spectrum of disciplines and digital library projects. Experience to date gives
reason for optimism and provides evidence and confirmation that, even as the
technologies we use evolve, the intellectual framework of our tradition persists
and continues to be relevant.

Descriptores: Digitalización/Bibliotecas digitales/Acceso
abierto/Sostenibilidad de la información/India
Resumen: Digitization and digital libraries are the present buzz words
in the LIS profession in India. It is the 'in' thing of today just as thirty
years ago all librarians only spoke of automating the library activities. This
paper will describe some major digital library initiatives in India in different
LIS sectors. The Digital divide within the LIS scenario due to diverse
situations will be highlighted in the paper. Most of the present initiatives are
in the area of Science and Technology, in the Government sector, and in
Institutions of advanced research. Most of these efforts are project based which
make them very vulnerable to changes in government policies, technological
changes, economic support and socio-educational changes. The need for trained
personnel to undertake the new responsibilities is also a major issue. Since
there is no holistic policy regarding digital content generation, management of
digital libraries, standards and services, most of these efforts are isolated
ventures generally restricted only to the needs of a special group of users. As
most of them are started by getting a one time grant without a follow up plan,
sustainability is always in doubt. Also preservation of digital data is often
not focused with the seriousness that it deserves. Digitization of India's vast
and rich collections for access and preservation will need very special
attention from many quarters. Sustaining the present efforts and continuing
these activities in all the LIS sectors will need special efforts by the
decision makers, librarians and the Information Industry. Sustainability of
digital libraries in India will need continuous technical and economic support.
The influence of social and educational sectors and awareness at the grass root
levels will be significant in sustaining digitization initiatives and digital
libraries. Manpower development is a necessary factor in continuing
service-oriented access through digital libraries. However, the most important
factor remains the political will of the government and the sustained well
informed interest of the decision makers and the library
professionals.

Resumen: Established in 2003, E-LIS (eprints.rclis.org) is an
international Open Archive for Library and Information Science. It is freely
accessible, aligned with Open Access movement and is a voluntary world wide
enterprise. E-LIS contains over 2.700 documents and is the largest eprint
archive in LIS. This presentation discusses the origins, history, the technical
properties of the E-LIS system and organization of work in a world qwide
dimension which is the factors we believe make E-LIS a success. All participants
are volunteers who are motivated by sophisticated incentives, which include a
system of national editors, the distribution of tasks within a small core team
in addition to our experience with publishing procedures. E-LIS employs the JITA
Classification Schema on two levels. It uses GNU Eprints software and is
compatible with the OAI standards framework. The user may search and access
full-text documents. Traditional LIS topics and all the disciplines relating to
information science are covered. It employs the JITA Classification Schema at
two levels. Any LIS scientific or technical finished document, published or
unpublished, is accepted. It may be used by LIS communities in every country.
Works can be deposited in any language and format; authors can self-archive; a
proxy service supports depositors. Metadata are set for each one of 23 document
types and are checked in accordance with editorial guidelines by an
international editorial committee. Its copyright metadata policy is cited by the
Romeo project. Submission policy is open to proposals from new partners and
there are agreements with institutions and library associations of various
countries. E-LIS is divided into three sections: editorial, technical and
administrative. The editorial section is devoted to metadata quality and
guidelines. The technical section concentrates on software its
implementation, enhancement and develoment and added value functionality and
operates inside the OAI framework. The Administrative section deals with
strategic issues including the future direction of the initiative, its policies
and their impact on the user community and its connection with other scientific
communities. Among the added-value features are Para Tools for reference linking
(which also provides a 'seek' button that parses the citation and tries to find
something in the archive or on the internet), automatic alerting for editors,
full metadata display of metadata records, full-text search, browsing by user,
counter in homepage and webalizer for statistics. Since last August we have
implemented a new graphical look, with RSS feeds for new deposits and a
completly new interface and layout more effective. The evolving academic
discourse surrounding the concept of Open Access (OA) provided the underlying
motivation for the establishment of E-LIS. The library and information world is
highly integrated with the areas of computing science and technology and it was
felt that the LIS discipline should set an example to other communities by
providing a state-of-the-art model for the OA movement and digital libraries,
particularly in relation to the open archive model, within which E-LIS is a
disciplinary repository. The extension of the OA concept to LIS works and the
dissemination of material within the LIS community will contribute to the
development of an international LIS network; E-LIS is mutually
beneficial.

services, and to initiate European special interest groups. It is important to
add particular European interests to already existing models such as the Open
Archives Initiative. Doing this, the different approaches, standards and
technologies can be evaluated in terms of their feasibility and their
limitations.

Descriptores: Software libre/Acceso abierto
Resumen: Few libraries have any experience with, or are even aware of,
open source software distributed by a commercial vendor. Yet this emerging model
of software development and distribution will have a dramatic effect on the
library market once librarians understand its value and begin to act on that
understanding. When the software code itself can be freely examined and used,
the dynamics of the marketplace changes. The end result of these new market
dynamics will be that vendors of open source software will produce higher
quality software at lower prices than vendors of proprietary
software.

Descriptores: Open Archives Initiative/Acceso abierto
Resumen: An important role of library and information science has been
the identification of better ways to understand and support the 'effectual
transmission of information' (Weiner, 1948, p. 156) in an ever-changing
intellectual and technological context. One of the important vehicles of
scholarly information for the past 300-plus years has been the Journal. The
fundamental nature of this long-established organ may seem des-tined for
reshaping in the light of the recent so-called open access (OA) movement. At the
heart of this phenomenon in publishing and distrib-uting information to the
community of researchers is the principie that all those who want to read
articles published in scholarly periodicals should be able to do so at no cost.
In our current model, access costs are borne by libraries and other publicly and
privately supported institu-tions, whereas open access implies broader access
without institutional or technical constraints.

Resumen: Elizabeth Gadd, Charles Oppenheim and Steve Probets describe
how the RoMEO Project is seeking to safeguard freely available metadata
disclosed and harvested under the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. The Open
Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) enables the
'disclosure' of metadata by Data Providers and the harvesting of that metadata
by Service Providers. Although there is nothing to stop commercial providers
from utilising this open-source protocol, it has its roots in the open access
community and as such is used by many open archives. These include subject-based
archives such as ArXiv, CogPrints , and the increasing number of Institutional
Repositories, many of which have been established as a result of funding via the
UK JISC FAIR (Focus on Access to Institutional Repositories) programme

Evans, R., "Delivering
Sizzling Services and Solid Support with Open Source Software".
IFLA Council and General Conference, No. 71, 2005.
Descriptores: Software libre/Acceso abierto
Resumen: Good stewardship of scarce library resources demands that
librarians consider the costs of implementing a new service. By using Open
Source Software as a base for new Internet services, the library saves in 3
ways: 1) Open Source Software is free. The library saves licensing costs. These
costs are significant (examples: Microsoft Office, Server, Oracle) 2) Open
Source Software runs on cheaper hardware. The library saves investment in new
machines . 3) Projects developed with Open Source Software can be shared between
libraries, giving all participants access to new services to offer patrons.
Libraries do not compete. They seek to complement and cooperate. By their very
nature, they are ideal users of the Open Source Business
Model.

Resumen: Journals being offered for open access have been on the
increase for over a decade, growing to around 1,200 journals to date. Authors
wishing to be published are charged a publication fee, and their papers are made
available without any charge to the public. However, journals in the scientific
and scholarly field, a total of approximately 25,000, are rarely offered for
open access. International pressure from scientists wishing to unblock the
barriers that stop the dissemination of research results has caused a rift with
publishers, who fear a decrease in publishing revenues.

Resumen: Se discute la significación de los archivos de e-prints entre

científicas tradicionales está siendo puesta en duda por los investigadores y el
entorno académico. A través de una encuesta, una revisión bibliográfica y la
navegación por sitios web estratégicos dedicados a los e-prints en todo el mundo
se llega a la conclusión de que este nuevo modelo de comunicación no ha
penetrado aún entre nuestros investigadores ni entre sus instituciones. Las
causas que se desprenden de este estudio tienen que ver con: Desconocimiento de
las ventajas de este sistema de publicación; arraigada cultura de publicación en
revistas tradicionales con sistema de evaluación por expertos; infravaloración
de estas publicaciones para evaluar la producción científica; miedo a perder el
control sobre la propiedad intelectual. Sin embargo, los encuestados afirman
mayoritariamente que los e-prints pueden redundar en una productividad
científica más alta.

Resumen: The possibility of open access to academic journal articles has
already made an impact upon the strategies of funding agencies, universities,
authors, publishers and librarians. So much publicity has been given to open
access that even its severest critics have found it necessary to respond, often
by modifying their own strategies to give either lip-service or real substance
to improvements in access. When the Budapest Open Access Initiative1 was first
launched in February 2002 it attracted some initial support, much interest and
also a large measure of scepticism, even ridicule. The general response was that
open access is a worthy vision but totally impracticable. Over the past three
years those reactions are still there but in different proportions. The support
for open access and the interest have both grown at the expense of scepticism
and ridicule. Open access has been shown to be feasible as well as
visionary.

a survey of 542 academic authors and an analysis of 80 journal publisher
copyright transfer agreements. The paper concludes that self-archiving is not
best supported by copyright transfer to publishers. It recommends that
universities assert their interest in copyright ownership in the long term, that
academics retain rights in the short term, and that publishers consider new ways
of protecting the value they add through journal publishing.

emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for
Open-archiving). It considers the protection for research papers afforded by UK
copyright law, and by e-journal licences. It compares this with the protection
required by academic authors for open-access research papers as discovered by
the RoMEO academic author survey. The survey used the Open Digital Rights
Language (ODRL) as a framework for collecting views from 542 academics as to the
permissions, restrictions and conditions they wanted to assert over their works.
Responses from self-archivers and non-archivers are compared. The paper
concludes that most academic authors are primarily interested in preserving
their moral rights, and that the protection offered research papers by copyright
law is way in excess of that required by most academics. It also raises concerns
about the level of protection enforced by e-journal licence agreements.

Resumen: Open Source Software (OSS) is software that has been released
under a license which requires the distribution of the software's source code
with any binaries. It is often available at no cost and is mostly supported by
developers providing their services for free. Considerable interest has been
shown in OSS by tertiary education institutions (TEIs) because of the promise of
a reduced total cost of ownership of the software, potentially better support,
freedom from vendor lockin, ability to tailor the software and pedagogic
benefits of being able to view the source code. To find out the extent of use of
OSS by TEIs in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, a survey was sent
out to technical personnel at all TEIs in these countries. The results of the
survey show that OSS is already being used by all TEIs who responded to the
survey and that the major reasons for this was lower Total Cost of Ownership and
freedom from software vendor dependence. It is clear however that the majority
of the OSS software being used is in server infrastructure with a lesser amount
being used on normal desktop machines.

harvesting protocol of the open archives initiative were interviewed. The
metadata harvesting initiative targets information generally inaccessible
through standard browser searches, such as information stored in databases or
within library online public access catalogs. We selected this topic as an
information technology-based initiative with the potential to provide
information about the usefulness of metadata: in particular the Dublin Core
metadata standard, but also about other metadata standards, as the protocol
design supports community-specific schemas as well. The group interviewed
represents developers, commercial information providers, funders, and members of
the scholarly publishing community. Along with learning about the interests and
concerns of each of these stakeholders and about specific applications of the
protocol, we identify potential questions that will ultimately need to be
addressed.

Resumen: Researchers publish their findings in order to make an impact

research impact. Authors can now free their refereed research papers from all
access tolls immediately by self-archiving them on-line in their own
institution's Eprint Archives. Free eprints.org software creates Archives
compliant with the Open Archives Initiative metadata-tagging Protocol OAI 1.0.
These distributed institutional Archives are interoperable and can hence be
harvested into global 'virtual' archives, citation-linked and freely navigable
by all. Self-archiving should enhance research productivity and impact as well
as providing powerful new ways of monitoring and measuring it.

Resumen: The speed of scientific communication the rate of ideas
affecting other researchers' ideas is increasing dramatically. The factor
driving this is free, unrestricted access to research papers. Measurements of
user activity in mature eprint archives of research papers such as arXiv have
shown, for the first time, the degree to which such services support an evolving
network of texts commenting on, citing, classifying, abstracting, listing and
revising other texts. The Open Citation project has built tools to measure this
activity, to build new archives, and has been closely involved with the
development of the infrastructure to support open access on which these new
services depend. This is the story of the project, intertwined with the
concurrent emergence of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). The paper describes
the broad scope of the project's work, showing how it has progressed from early
demonstrators of reference linking to produce Citebase, a Web-based citation and
impact-ranked search service, and how it has supported the development of the
EPrints.org software for building OAI-compliant archives. The work has been
underpinned by analysis and experiments on the semantics of documents (digital
objects) to determine the features required for formally perfect linking
instantiated as an application programming interface (API) for reference
linking that will enable other applications to build on this work in
broader digital library information environments.

vision for a European IT 'surface' now being implemented progressively
especially under the auspices of EC DG INFSO F2 to provide easy-to-use access to
information and computation. CRISs provide both a context for evaluation of -
and understanding the background to scholarly publication. CRISs also
provide a management framework for R&D in institutions from funding agencies

Resumen: The authors, who jointly serve as the Open Archives Initiative
(OAI) executive, reflect on the three-year history of the OAI. Three years of
technical work recently culminated in the release of a stable production version
2 of the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). This technical product,
the work that led up to it, and the process that made it possible have attracted
some favor from the digital library and information community. The paper
explores a number of factors in the history of the OAI that the authors believe
have contributed to this positive response. The factors include focus on a
defined problem statement, an operational model in which strong leadership is
balanced with solicited participation, a healthy dose of community building and
support, and sensible technical decisions.

in this paper that these factors may have a significant impact on the future of
information retrieval (IR) systems, and that it is desirable that these systems
are made open to all. Some problems are outlined that may prevent the uptake of
open source IR systems and a number of open source IR systems are described.

Resumen: Hoy en día existen en el mundo unas veinte mil revistas
científicas y técnicas dotadas de comité de selección (refereed journals) y
anualmente se publican en ellas dos millones de artículos. Cada artículo cuesta
colectivamente al conjunto de las instituciones que lo pagan unos 2.000 dólares:
a cambio de ese desembolso, sólo los miembros de esas instituciones tienen
derecho a leerlo, y por cierto: ninguna institución, ni siquiera Harvard, se
puede permitir dar acceso a sus miembros a todos los artículos que se publican.
Mientras tanto, recordemos que los científicos no cobran por sus artículos, ni
en su función de comité de selección de sus colegas. Estos datos (que Stevan
Harnad publicó en Nature, en abril del 2001) pueden justificar la profunda
revolución que está recorriendo el mundo de la edición científica. Hace unos
meses, concretamente en agosto del año pasado, recogíamos en estas páginas la
iniciativa de la Public Library of Science a favor de la apertura de la
información científica en la red (véase La revuelta de los científicos). Si a 29
de agosto del 2001 había reunido 26.000 firmas, ahora cuenta con 29.000
firmantes, de 175 países.Desde entonces han ocurrido varias cosas. La más
llamativa es la Budapest Open Access Initiative, patrocinada por el filántropo
George Soros, de origen húngaro y afincado en los EEUU desde los años 50. Soros
se ha mostrado muy activo en iniciativas a favor de la sociedad abierta, que
gestiona a través de una red de fundaciones. Pues bien: a las acciones en favor
de países de la Europa del Este, y a sus intervenciones sobre el sistema
financiero mundial se ha unido curiosamente una iniciativa directamente
relacionada con la edición electrónica de material
científico.

Science opened a new research laboratory in January 2003; The Indiana University
School of Library and Information Science Information Processing Laboratory [IU
IP Lab]. The purpose of the new laboratory is to facilitate collaboration
between scientists in the department in the areas of information retrieval (IR)
and information visualization (IV) research. The lab has several areas of focus.
These include grid and cluster computing, and a standard Java-based software
platform to support plug and play research datasets, a selection of standard IR
modules and standard IV algorithms. Future development includes software to
enable researchers to contribute datasets, IR algorithms, and visualization
algorithms into the standard environment. We decided early on to use OAI-PMH as
a resource discovery tool because it is consistent with our mission.

Resumen: Before the Internet, translators relied on expensive
dictionaries and reference books for information. Now a decent Internet
connection has become one of the most important tools of our trade. In the
biomedical field for example, MEDLINE can be used to retrieve abstracts from
hundreds of journals. And then of course there is Google, the omnipotent search
engine that can dig out web pages on almost anything. Suppose a translator is
uncertain whether to write "extrapyramidal adverse effects" or "adverse
extrapyramidal effects." He or she consults Google and finds that
"extrapyramidal adverse effects" gets ten times as many hits, so "extrapyramidal
adverse effects" seems to be the preferred expression in this "Google
democracy." The method is not perfect because Google counts web pages not web
sites, so some "votes" could have been counted more than once and a web page
published by a geeky 16-year-old will carry the same weight as a web page
published by a Nobel laureate. This is the crux of the debate about the Internet
as an information source: the Internet holds a vast store of information, but
can we be sure of its reliability

Resumen: The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
(OAI-PMH) is an evolving protocol and philosophy regarding interoperability for
digital libraries (DLs). Previously, 'distributed searching' models were popular
for DL interoperability. However, experience has shown distributed searching
systems across large numbers of DLs to be difficult to maintain in an Internet
environment. The OAI-PMH is a move away from distributed searching, focusing on
the arguably simpler model of 'metadata harvesting'. We detail NASA's
involvement in defining and testing the OAI-PMH and experience to date with
adapting existing NASA distributed searching DLs (such as the NASA Technical
Report Server) to use the OAI-PMH and metadata harvesting. We discuss some of
the entirely new DL projects that the OAI-PMH has made possible, such as the
Technical Report Interchange Project. We explain the strategic importance of the
OAI-PMH to the mission of NASA's Scientific and Technical Information
Program.

authors responded. Findings The detailed results of a major survey
of the views and experiences of nearly 4,000 senior authors in regard to OA
publishing. A number of statistical analyses were employed to drill down into
the data to obtain an understanding of the figures. Views were divided sharply
along subject and geographical lines, demonstrating the need to survey large and
robust samples of authors. Research limitations/implications A snapshot
study which while providing robust data requires a follow-up study to monitor
opinion shifts in this fast-changing area. Practical implications

tecnología y biomedicina, pero es quizás en esta última disciplina donde la
polémica se hace más ostensible. En el presente artículo se revisa el estado de

propiciando en el ámbito de las ciencias de la salud. Se exponen los principales
argumentos, tanto a favor como en contra del mismo, de las diferentes partes
implicadas que se centran en aspectos tales como la accesibilidad a los trabajos
de investigación publicados en las revistas, el mantenimiento de la calidad y el
rigor de las publicaciones científicas, y las propuestas sobre si es posible

Resumen: The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) Protocol for Metadata
Harvesting presents one promising method by which metadata regarding archives
and manuscripts can be shared and made more interoperable with metadata from
other sources. Against the background of archival descriptive theory and
practice, this article outlines a method for exposing deep, hierarchical
metadata from encoded archival description (EAD) files and assesses some
theoretical and practical issues that will need to be confronted by institutions
choosing to provide or harvest OAI records generated from EAD files. Using OAI
on top of existing EAD implementations would allow institutions to repurpose
their data and potentially reach more users but would also accelerate the
process of reengineering archival access mechanisms. Archivists and
technologists using OAI with EAD must pay careful attention to the necessity of
preserving archival context and provenance.

Resumen: The logic of scientific discovery requires the community of
peers to validate and sanction the authenticity and specific contribution of a
finding or a solution to a problem, so that the knowledge generated can be
published and shared. To publish is, consequently, innate to the work of
scientists. Therefore, when a set of tools and licenses are created and placed
within their reach simultaneously, allowing them to take full control over all
operations related to the process (to create, publish, communicate, distribute,
reproduce, transform) with no need of any intermediaries, a revolution takes
place. This revolution goes beyond publishing itself and transforms fundamental
aspects concerning the circulation of knowledge, its use and
availability.

Resumen: La cuestión no es ya, hoy en día, saber si los textos
serán o no digitalizados, si el futuro de la edición pasa o no por la
digitalización y la difusión electrónica, porque es ya evidente, incluso para un
lector de periódicos medianamente informado, que la metamorfosis de los soportes
de la escritura en las últimas décadas ha sido y sigue siendo un fenómeno
ubicuo; la cuestión es, y no es un matiz desdeñable, qué nos asegura que la
transposición de los textos a otro soporte, a otro medio, va a ser una migración
duradera, no una mera etapa apenas perceptible en la historia de las formas
escritas de comunicación; la cuestión es, quién reclama esa mutación si es que
lo hay, a quién sirve esa transformación, quién hará uso del material almacenado
de esa nueva manera, a quién puede beneficiar la mudanza y qué objetivos y
necesidades cubre y alcanza. Más aún, qué visos hay de que esa todavía pequeña
revolución llegue a propagarse, a asumirse e, incluso, a hacerse deseable para
del resto de la sociedad, porque no se sabe todavía de transformación
tecnológica alguna en la historia de la humanidad que haya permanecido y se haya
perpetuado que no haya sido el resultado de una necesidad presentida de la
sociedad. Algo tan elemental como caer en la cuenta de que en la oficina de
patentes duermen miles de inventos sin nadie deseoso de asumirlos o de
utilizarlos, podría ser suficiente para entender que la tecnología no es unívoca
ni todopoderosa; también, que en nuestra sociedad contemporánea,
particularmente, todo invento viene acompañado de un esfuerzo formidable por
imponer la necesidad de ese invento que no otra cosa es el marketing, algo que
no sería necesario si el invento tuviera el poder de imponerse sin ninguna
colaboración social.

Resumen: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks provide a new distributed computing
paradigm on the Internet for file sharing. The decentralized nature of P2P
networks fosters cooperative and non-cooperative behaviors in sharing resources.
Searching is a major component of P2P file sharing. Several studies have been
reported on the nature of queries of World Wide Web (WWW) search engines, but
studies on queries of P2P networks have not been reported yet. In this report,
we present our study on the Gnutella network, a decentralized and unstructured
P2P network. We found that the majority of Gnutella users are located in the
United States. Most queries are repeated. This may be because the hosts of the
target files connect or disconnect from the network any time, so clients
resubmit their queries. Queries are also forwarded from peers to peers. Findings
are compared with the data from two other studies of Web queries. The length of
queries in the Gnutella network is longer than those reported in the studies of
WWW search engines. Queries with the highest frequency are mostly related to the
names of movies, songs, artists, singers, and directors. Terms with the highest
frequency are related to file formats, entertainment, and sexuality. This study
is important for the future design of applications, architecture, and services
of P2P networks.

project. Findings - The OAI interoperability framework has received much
attention from scholars of library and information sciences. In Europe and North
America, many academic organizations and universities have undertaken
theoretical studies, system design, and implementation of the OAI framework. In
January 2002, the National Science Council of Taiwan launched a NDAP, and the
institutional project of the National Taiwan University is one of its
institutional projects. Now, the project has proceeded with the implementation
of a system related to the OAI framework. Originality/value - Provides
information of value to information professionals.

Resumen: In July of 2001, with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign undertook a project
to test the efficacy of using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata
Harvesting to construct a search and discovery service focused on information
resources in the domain of cultural heritage. To date, the Illinois project has
indexed over two million Dublin Core metadata records contributed by 39 metadata
repositories in the museum, academic library, and digital library project
communities. These records describe a mix of digital and analog primary content.
Our analysis of these metadata records demonstrates wide divergence in
descriptive metadata practices and the use and interpretation of Dublin Core
metadata elements. Differences are particularly notable by community. This
article provides an overview of the Illinois project, presents quantitative data
about divergent metadata practices and element usage patterns, and details
implications for metadata providers and harvesting services.

metadatos de los archivos electrónicos, asegurando con ello la infraestructura
para la preservación y la interoperabilidad entre archivos, independientemente
de las organizaciones a las que pertenezcan o de donde se encuentren. También se
analiza el papel de los enlaces y los metadatos en el acceso abierto, en
concreto CrossRef, DOI y OpenURL Por otro lado, se analiza el estándar del
modelo de referencia Open Archival Information System (OAIS) para un sistema
abierto de información en archivos, cuya doble finalidad es la
preservación y el acceso a largo plazo de la información en formato digital,
obviando los previsibles cambios tecnológicos. Estas dos iniciativas, OAI y
OAIS, tienen un interés generalizado para las distintas instituciones académicas

Resumen: The Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) is an
international partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a
worldwide virtual library of language resources. The Dublin Core (DC) Element
Set and the OAI Protocol have provided a solid foundation for the OLAC
framework. However, we need more precision in community-specific aspects of
resource description than is offered by DC. Furthermore, many of the
institutions and individuals who might participate in OLAC do not have the
technical resources to support the OAI protocol. This paper presents our
solutions to these two problems.

Resumen: When shall we be free? Only when incentives in science are
designed to reward rather than penalize open access publication. In the past
year, we have witnessed the creation of exciting new vehicles for disseminating
health research, including the Open Archives Initiative, PubMed Central, British
Medical Journal's NetPrints, The Lancet eprint server in international health,
BioMed Central, and others. These initiatives have the potential to 'free
the literature,' which would be wonderful for researchers around the
world, and might accelerate the pace of health research. However, use of these
vehicles in academic science and medicine will not be optimized -- and the
literature will not be truly free -- until incentives are realigned to reward,
or at least not penalize, their use.

metadata
Resumen: The Open Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
(OAI-PMH) was created to facilitate discovery of distributed resources. The
OAI-PMH achieves this by providing a simple, yet powerful framework for metadata
harvesting. Harvesters can incrementally gather records contained in OAI-PMH
repositories and use them to create services covering the content of several
repositories. The OAI-PMH has been widely accepted, and until recently, it has
mainly been applied to make Dublin Core metadata about scholarly objects
contained in distributed repositories searchable through a single user
interface. This article describes innovative applications of the OAI-PMH that we
have introduced in recent projects. In these projects, OAI-PMH concepts such as
resource and metadata format have been interpreted in novel ways. The result of
doing so illustrates the usefulness of the OAI-PMH beyond the typical resource
discovery using Dublin Core metadata. Also, through the inclusion of XSL1
stylesheets in protocol responses, OAI-PMH repositories have been directly
overlaid with an interface that allows users to navigate the contained metadata
by means of a Web browser. In addition, through the introduction of PURL2
partial redirects, complex OAI-PMH protocol requests have been turned into
simple URIs that can more easily be published and used in downstream
applications.

creating, archiving, distributing and accessing Electronic Theses and
Dissertations (ETDs). Since its inception in 1996, over a hundred universities
have joined the initiative, underscoring the importance institutions place on
training their graduates in the emerging forms of digital publishing and
information access. The outreach and training mission of NDLTD is an ongoing
project so in this article we report on the current status of membership and
support activities. Recent research has focused on creating a union database
that will provide a means to search and retrieve ETDs from the combined
collections of NDLTD member institutions. The Virtua system developed by VTLS
will serve as the heart of this union database. In order to bridge the gap
between the existing distributed institutional archives and a unified collection
of ETDs, we have developed a metadata standard especially suited to ETDs - this
is then used by partner sites to export their freely-available metadata using
the Metadata Harvesting Protocol of the Open Archives Initiative. We also link
name authority information into the metadata records to support unique
identification of authors and others associated with the works. Additional
research efforts include advanced search mechanisms, semantic interoperability,
the design and development of multi- and cross-lingual search systems, and
software modules that support the development of higher-level services to aid
researchers in seeking relevant ETDs.

Resumen: Digital Libraries (DLs) have traditionally been
positioned at the intersection of library science, computer science, and
networked information systems. The different underlying philosophies of these
three fields has had an unsettling influence on the development of DLs. While
library science is fairly mature, networked information systems are constantly
evolving to keep pace with Internet innovation. DLs are thus expected to
demonstrate the careful management of libraries while supporting standards that
evolve at an astonishing pace. This architectural moving target is a predicament
that all DLs face sooner or later in their lifecycle, and one that few manage to
deal with effectively. To exacerbate this problem, there has been a general
desire for systems to be interoperable at the levels of data exchange and
service collaboration. Such interoperability requirements necessitated the
development of standards such as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set and the
Open Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). These
standards have achieved a degree of success in the DL community largely because
of their generality and simplicity. Informed by those lessons, this project is
an attempt to consistently extend known interoperability standards to form the
basis of a framework of components for building extensible DLs.

Resumen: NDLTD, the Networked Digital Library of Theses and
Dissertations, supports and encourages the production and archiving of
electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). While many current NDLTD member
institutions and consortia have individual collections accessible online, there
has until recently been no single mechanism to aggregate all ETDs to provide
NDLTD-wide services (e.g. searching). With the emergence of the Open Archives
Initiative (OAI), that has changed. The OAI's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
is a robust interoperability solution that defines a standard method of
exchanging metadata. While working with the OAI to develop and test the metadata
harvesting standard, we have set up and actively maintain a central NDLTD
metadata collection and multiple user portals. We discuss in this article our
experiences in building this distributed digital library based upon the work of
the OAI.

limita le potenzialità dei depositi istituzionali ma rappresenta l'ostacolo

Resumen: The usefulness of the many on-line journals and scientific
digital libraries that exist today is limited by the inability to federate these
resources through a unified interface. The Open Archive Initiative (OAI) is one
major effort to address technical interoperability among distributed archives.
The objective of OAI is to develop a framework to facilitate the discovery of
content in distributed archives. In this paper, we describe our experience and
lessons learned in building Arc, the first federated searching service based on
the OAI protocol. Arc harvests metadata from several OAI compliant archives,
normalizes them, and stores them in a search service based on a relational
database (MySQL or Oracle). At present we have over 320,000 metadata records
from 18 data providers from various subject domains. We have also implemented an
OAI layer over Arc, thus making hierarchical harvesting possible. The
experiences described within should be applicable to others who seek to build an
OAI service provider.

Resumen: There are a number of ways a service provider can provide a
resource discovery service across several data providers, that is, several
digital libraries. In the harvesting approach, the service provider harvests the
metadata of the digital libraries and uses them for unified resource discovery.
A recent standardization effort, the Open Archive Initiative (OAI), defines a
standard, open interface between data providers and service providers to
implement digital library interoperability based on the harvesting approach. The
intention of OAI is to support data providers (archives) that exist at an
organizational level. A typical data provider is a digital library that has no
constraints on how it implements its services with its own set of publishing
tools and policies. However, to be part of OAI, a data provider needs to be
'open' in as far as it needs to support the OAI metadata harvesting protocol. In
this paper, we propose the Kepler framework1 based on OAI to support what we
call 'personal data providers' or 'archivelets'. The objective of the Kepler
framework is to satisfy the need for average researchers at an average
university to publish results and disseminate them quickly and conveniently to a
wide audience. While this primary objective is the result of our personal
experience, we believe the concept can be extended to any community that wishes
its publications to be made available to a wide audience over the Internet. We
have a reference implementation for the Kepler framework that we call a digital
library of many 'little' publishers. In particular, we have implemented (a) an
easy-to-use archivelet that is downloadable and self-installing, (b) an
automated registration service to support tens of thousands of publishers, and
(c) a simple service provider to harvest metadata from archivelets.
