NISO Bibliographic Roadmap Meeting - Carpenter welcome and overview of bibliographic infrastructure copy

Welcome to NISO’s Bibliographic

Roadmap Meeting

Todd A. Carpenter, NISO Executive DirectorApril 15, 2013 - Baltimore, MD

This project is generously supported by a grant from the

Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Monday, April 15, 13

Why are we here today?


The expected outcomes of this meeting will be:


1) Identify and prioritize topics for further

exploration


2)Identify gaps in our collective

understanding of the futureof bibliographic exchange


3) Provide a forum for sharing data exchange

efforts and in turn, expose them to a broader

international community


4) Organize next steps to advance

understanding of these issues


A very rough Agenda (subject to change!)


Day 1 – Monday, April 15

10:00Welcome

Round the Room Introductions10:30 Background and what we hope to achieveTodd Carpenter

11:00Brainstorming: Identification of topics for discussionParticipation of all attendees including virtual attendees Exercise to include noting topics of interest from attendees and posting problems/issues/gaps/challenges/themes on post-it notes followed by collective grouping and prioritizing of themes. Initial themes will be surfaced in the discussion paper shared with the group prior to the event.

12:00Creation of first round of discussion groups based on prioritized brainstorming themes

12:15LunchTables organized by discussion groups


13:00Breakout of first round of discussion groupsThe groups will have an open discussion of their selected topic and how it plays into a future ecosystem. Depending on the topic, this could include identification of related projects, potential solutions, ongoing pilot projects and gaps in community activity related to the theme. Each group will come up with 3-6 action items related to the topic for prioritization later.

14:00Reporting out of first round of discussion groups & all-attendee discussion of reportsEach group will report on its discussions, highlighting necessary actions, gaps, or areas where more information is needed.

How much computer technology pre-dates this?


Unfortunately, quite a bit...



Why?


We avoid improving infrastructure

If you were building a network todaywould you string copper everywhere?


If you building a metadata ecosystem,would you start here?

But is it sufficient?


Organizations will not move away from a legacy system unless the new system:

a) Is demonstrably cheaperb) Is demonstrably more effective in producing results (discovery, use, etc.)c) Will make the organization demonstrably more efficient (staff, management, sales, etc.) ORd) The legacy system becomes entirely non-interoperable with other, more important systems ORe) The legacy system breaks and cannot be repaired


Can we say a new metadata management system

based on linked data will be/do one of those things?


What can we learn from IETF?


2001 : 0db8 : 3333 : 4444 : ccc : 0ab9 : c0a8 : 9898



A good specification is necessary


A good specification is necessary

but it is not sufficient



It is in…. Adop%on (or rather, in its absence)

The point at which most standards fail is not prior to consensus



How can we assure that we are doing the right things?

For everyone?That will save resources?

That will improve services?That will be adopted?


NISO’s Bibliographic Roadmap Initiative

Meeting Goals:Identify/Discuss active projects

Brainstorm existing gapsPrioritize 3-6 subtopics

Plan deeper exploration of issues

Diversify players in discussion


Initiative coordinationGap identificationEconomic analysis

Engage diverse players Open process


Defining what you are by what you are not

Not designing a specNot picking winners/losersNot advancing any “agenda”


What we are trying to avoid


The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson


“If you don't know where you're going, you might not

get there.”- Yogi Berra
