the CNI 2014 Spring Membership Meeting, April 2014, St. Louis, MO.</strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Le9_Bbkdw">ResourceSync Change Notification Demo, March 2014</a> (~12 min YouTube video)</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3>BACKGROUND</h3> <p>ResourceSync researches, develops, prototypes, tests, and deploys mechanisms for the large-scale synchronization of web resources. ResourceSync, begun in late 2011, is a joint cooperation between NISO and the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) team, with work funded by the Sloan Foundation. Building on the OAI-PMH strategies for synchronizing metadata, this project enhances that specification using modern web technologies, and allows for the synchronization of the objects themselves, not just their metadata. </p> <p>Because of the proliferation of replicated copies of works or data on the Internet, keeping the repositories’ holdings up-to-date and accurate is an increasingly challenging problem. By automating the replication and updating process, the new standard will save a tremendous amount of time, effort, and resources by repository managers, increase the general availability of content available from these repositories, as well as alleviate the variety of problems created by outdated, inaccurate, superseded content that exists on the Internet.</p> <p>Synchronization is especially important for high integrity or essential web resources. For example, portals that deliver high quality services pertaining to aggregations of cultural or scholarly resources would clearly benefit from reliable, uniform, and scalable techniques to remain in sync with the collections they build upon. As we move from a web of documents to a web of data, synchronization becomes even more important: decisions made based on unsynchronized or incoherent scientific or economic data can have serious deleterious impact.</p> <p>The end product of the work will be a specification, vetted by experts and test implementations, which details an approach to synchronize Web resources at scale in an interoperable manner.</p> <p><strong>Current status (as of April 2014):</strong> The ResourceSync Framework Specification, written as NISO Z39.99-201X, is now before members of its NISO Voting Pool for final approval. It will then be submitted to ANSI for its approval as ANSI/NISO Z39.99-2014. NISO hopes to publish this work before the end of May. The ResourceSync team is continuing work on <a href="http://www.openarchives.org/rs/notification/0.9/notification">ResourceSync Notification</a> and <a href="http://www.openarchives.org/rs/0.9.1/archives">ResourceSync Archives</a> extensions, both in beta draft form. Public discussion of the work takes place on the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/resourcesync">ResourceSync Google Groups</a> list. </p> </section> </main> <div class="sidebar"> <article class="teaser teaser-green teaser__include-header"> <div class="teaser__header teaser__header-green"> <div class="teaser__header-title teaser__header-title-small"> Standard </div> </div> <div class="teaser__info"> <h4 class="teaser__title teaser__title-green teaser__title-normal"> <a href="/publications/z3999-2017-resourcesync" class="teaser__title-link"><span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">ANSI/NISO Z39.99-2017 ResourceSync Framework Specification</span> </a> </h4> <div class="teaser__body teaser__body-small"> <div>February 02, 2017</div> </div> </div> </article> <h3>Section pages</h3> <div class="field field--name-field-child-pages field--type-viewfield field--label-hidden"> <div class="field__item field__item-label-hidden"> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-child-pages view-id-child_pages view-display-id-block_parent js-view-dom-id-ac61c561b0347fd939a7e053d033a0ff978ecb37081a891e9f152eb7a58969e6"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="sidebar-menu"> <ul class="menu-item"> <li><a href="/standards-committees/resourcesync/resourcesync-resources" hreflang="en">ResourceSync Resources</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="page__full_bottom"> <div class="hline hline__green "> <h2>Documents</h2> </div> <div class="callout__gold callout__block-padded"> <div class="field field--name-field-related-publications field--type-viewfield field--label-above"> <h3 class="field__label">Related Publications</h3> <div class="field__item field__item-label-hidden"> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view list-three-across view-related-publications view-id-related_publications view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-44b1feefab15c6ffdfb3be014f58aaf23b945ab182ac3615c79fc26fa7c9cfd3"> <div class="view-content smart-grid" data-row-items-small="1" data-row-items-medium="2" data-row-items-large="2" data-row-items-xlarge="3"> <article class="teaser teaser-green teaser__include-header"> <div class="teaser__header teaser__header-green"> <div class="teaser__header-title teaser__header-title-small"> Recommended Practice </div> </div> <div class="teaser__info"> <h4 class="teaser__title teaser__title-green teaser__title-normal teaser__title-line teaser__title-line-green "> NISO RP-19-2014 Open Discovery Initiative: Promoting Transparency in Discovery </h4> <div class="teaser__body"> <div> <p><strong>THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED </strong>by <a href="/publications/rp-19-2020-odi"><em>NISO RP-19-2020, Open Discovery Initiative: Promoting Transparency in Discovery</em></a>, published in June 2020.</p> <p><a href="/standards-committees/odi">Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee web pages</a></p> <time datetime="2014-06-25T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">June 2014</time> <div>ISBN: 978-1-937522-42-1</div></div> </div> <div class="teaser__publication-links"> <a href="/publications/rp-19-2014-odi">Document Details</a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="teaser teaser-green teaser__include-header"> <div class="teaser__header teaser__header-green"> <div class="teaser__header-title teaser__header-title-small"> White Paper </div> </div> <div class="teaser__info"> <h4 class="teaser__title teaser__title-green teaser__title-normal teaser__title-line teaser__title-line-green "> The Future of Library Resource Discovery </h4> <div class="teaser__body"> <div><p>by Marshall Breeding</p> <p>Libraries have a strategic interest in the tools and technologies that facilitate the discovery of and access to the resources for the communities that they serve. These tools have seen steady advancement over recent decades, making great strides in the scope and depth of materials addressed and in providing library users ever more convenient ways to access these materials. The progress seen in the successive generations of technology beginning from online catalogs, to metasearch tools, to the current generation of index-based discovery services represents an incredible improvement. Yet many gaps remain relative to the potential of more universal access to the universe of content of interest to libraries and their users and obstacles remain that impede progress that NISO or other organizations can address. This paper provides an overview of the current resource discovery environment and discusses some of the possibilities regarding how these technologies, methodologies, and products might be able to adapt to changes in the evolving information landscape in scholarly communications and to take advantage of new technologies, metadata models, or linking environments to better accomplish the needs of libraries to provide access to resources. It include recommendations that can be addressed in the short term through a possible extension of the NISO Open Discovery Initiative as well as longer-term efforts that investigate how evolving technologies such as open linked data can be operationalized.</p> <time datetime="2015-02-01T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">February 2015</time> <div>ISBN: 978-1-937522-41-4</div></div> </div> <div class="teaser__publication-links"> <a href="/publications/future-library-resource-discovery">Document Details</a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="teaser teaser-green teaser__include-header"> <div class="teaser__header teaser__header-green"> <div class="teaser__header-title teaser__header-title-small"> Other </div> </div> <div class="teaser__info"> <h4 class="teaser__title teaser__title-green teaser__title-normal teaser__title-line teaser__title-line-green "> Bridging the Gap Between Abstracting & Indexing Provider Needs and Discovery Service Approaches </h4> <div class="teaser__body"> <div> <p>A report from the <a href="/standards-committees/odi">NISO Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee</a>. Authors: Scott Bernier, EBSCO Information Services; Noah Brubaker, PALNI; Rachel Kessler, ProQuest; Geoffrey Morse, Northwestern University; Ken Varnum, University of Michigan.</p> <p>In 2014, NISO published a Recommended Practice, <a href="/publications/rp-19-2014-odi"><em>Open Discovery Initiative: Promoting Transparency in Discovery</em> (RP-19-2014)</a>, developed by its Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) Working Group to define “standards and/or best practices for the new generation of library discovery services that are based on indexed search.” In addition to recommending specific practices for discovery and content providers to adopt, the document recommended a number of potential future work items. One of these was that the ODI initiative should take an in-depth look at the unique needs of Abstracting & Indexing (A&I) service providers with regard to the inclusion of their content in web scale discovery systems. The goal of such an assessment was to “identify subsequent recommendations that would address these concerns and ultimately encourage discovery participation from providers of these services.” Section 2.2 of the Recommended Practice specifies several concerns expressed by A&I service providers regarding discovery systems. These concerns included:</p> <ul> <li>The level of exposure A&I citations will receive in discovery services;</li> <li>The possibility that the presence of discovery systems will encourage libraries to cancel A&I subscriptions; and</li> <li>The probability that discovery services would not be able to take advantage of the sophisticated controlled vocabulary and other features that A&I service providers offer in their native interfaces.</li> </ul> <p>In June 2017, a subgroup of the Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee conducted a survey of A&I providers to understand their concerns. This was followed in February 2018 with a related survey of discovery providers. This report describes these two related survey efforts, summarizes concerns raised by both groups, and recommends next steps for the Open Discovery Initiative Standing Committee to better promote transparency and understanding among discovery providers, abstracting and indexing providers, and librarians.</p> <time datetime="2019-06-21T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">June 2019</time> </div> </div> <div class="teaser__publication-links"> <a href="/publications/odi-bridging-gap">Document Details</a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="teaser teaser-green teaser__include-header"> <div class="teaser__header teaser__header-green"> <div class="teaser__header-title teaser__header-title-small"> Standard </div> </div> <div class="teaser__info"> <h4 class="teaser__title teaser__title-green teaser__title-normal teaser__title-line teaser__title-line-green "> ANSI/NISO Z39.99-2017 ResourceSync Framework Specification </h4> <div class="teaser__body"> <div> <p>This ResourceSync specification describes a synchronization framework for the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third-party systems to remain synchronized with a server’s evolving resources.
