DCCAP Approval in March 2007
Comments cld:isLocatedAt is a sub-property of dc:Relation: when dumbing
down the AP to DC, it may not make sense Cld:isLocatedAt vs cld:isAccessedVia vs dc:Identifier: traditional
use of dc:Identifier to indicate the location. This could raise confusion, especially for physical vs digital collections
Usage of « metadata records » in the library –world meaning, instead of in the larger DCAM meaning

NISO MetaSearch Initiative
NISO Standards Committee BB (Task Group 2): Collection & Service Descriptions developed a draft specification for collection description (see NISO Z39.91-200x, Collection Description Specification http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/Z39-91-DSFTU.pdf
is meant to be used by vendors, libraries, archives, and other organizations who are providing access to collections through metasearch applications such as Z39.50, SRU, and the NISO Metasearch XML Gateway Protocol
Objective is to align with the current version of the DCCAP
August 2007 5
What we have to do
the NISO set is very similar to the August 2005 DC Collection Description
Mandatory elements not necessarily the same
Specificities: Completeness XML bindings Terminologies
August 2007 6
Future
Correct (small) inconsistencies found in DC Collections Application Profile (Oct 2007) - Sarah and Muriel
Consider Usage Board's comments in their review (Oct 2007) - Task Group
Complete alignment of the NISO Collection Description Standard with the DC Collections Application Profile (Oct 2007) - Sarah, Muriel, and Juha
Assess and align current DC Collections Application Profile with current version of Abstract Model and ongoing work on Description Set Profiles. (DC 2008) Task Group Alignment with the current Abstract Model by the spring Usage Board
meeting Alignment with the work on Description set profiles by DC2008

Virtual collections in HAL
The difference with portals: The same metadata set the same deposit interface
Criteria for creating collections? Laboratories/Institutions Congresses Project
BUT for display only Browsing Customizing interface

The DRIVER project
Objectives: The design of an infrastructure for digital repositories Proof of concept : National networks of institutional repositories
PartnersUniversity of Athens (Gr) University of Bielefeld (Ger)CNR (It)SURF (NL)University of Nottingham (UK)
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Fr) University of Bath (UK)University de Warsaw (Pol) University of Ghent (Be)University of Göttingen (Ger)

5 National networks
From 5 countries with different IR networks history UK : SHERPA Belgium : under construction Netherlands : DAREnet Germany : DINI France : Archives-Ouvertes

An infrastructure to connect « digital repositories »
Distributed OAI-PMH, including DC-based guidelines Service oriented architecture (SOA)
To facilitate the creation of services For access, customization etc (eg. The DRIVER demonstrator) To support research communities

Problem: how do you share collection structure?
In HAL, OAI sets But does not share set description : OAI sets are metadata
collections (see DLF Forum Spring 2006 presentation M. Foulonneau, C. Arms, S. L. Shreeves)
Membership through the OAI infrastructure
DRIVER guidelines include OAI sets by service provider Textual content in open access
Need to build a Web service access But in DRIVER, membership is not an item property
Registries such as OpenDOAR are based on repository description
