Extending Interoperability of Digital Libraries: Building on the Open Archives Initiative

Position Statements:

If you are attending the OAi workshop (W5 of DL'2000/HT'2000), please submit a position statement of not more than 1000 words, to be included as part of the proceedings of the workshop. For those who have not yet drafted such a document, please consider the following list of broad topics on which there will be discussion at the workshop - comments that you make in relation to these can be used as starting points for the relevant discussions. Feel free to send a separate position statement on more than one of these topics if you have particular interest.

• Organization, Outreach and Dissemination
  (e.g., how OAi should be managed, how it should grow in coverage, training issues)
• Core Technical Issues
  (e.g., new protocols, new services, performance, metrics, mirroring, indexes, links)
• Research Issues and Opportunities
  (e.g., funding opportunities, promising areas to investigate, testbeds)
• Scope of Coverage in Terms of Data Types and Domains
  (e.g., what genre fit, DC vs. OAMS for metadata standard, focus vs. breadth of coverage)
