Alpha portal to metadata from CIC institutions aggregated via OAI
available to DLIOC members and project staff at participating CIC
libraries. (Portal will be based on OAIster framework.) Available
now at: http://nergal.grainger.uiuc.edu/cgi/b/bib/oaister |
October 2004
(Fall 2004 DLIOC Meeting) |
Analysis of metadata available via OAI from CIC libraries completed.
Report to DLIOC (and in writing) on range of metadata available,
observed variations in metadata usage and authoring practices, and

(Spring 2005 DLIOC Meeting) |
Complete first round of collaborative user testing and publish
results |
| July 2005 |
1) Define best practices, in OAI-PMH context, for harvesting and
handling freely available and restricted access metadata describing
licensed resources of CIC institutions.
2) Define and implement (beta level ) filter(s) supporting view(s)
that segment CIC information appropriately (e.g. present only metadata
describing subset of resources available for use by specific classes
of end-users as defined by CIC institution affiliation). |

Summarize and publish lessons learned and best practice suggestions
for authoring / transforming metadata to support interoperability
and metadata sharing within CIC. |
| January 2006 |
Second round of usability testing complete, and production level
portal to metadata harvested from CIC institutions via OAI available.
(May be incorporated into production OAIster service at University
of Michigan, if appropriate). |
April 2006
(Spring 2006 DLIOC Meeting) |
Present preliminary project report draft at spring 2006 DLIOC Meeting |
