We're going on an adventure- the unique package ID is on its way
Abstract
The working group is formed, the work can begin! In this session we will be providing an update on one of the most anticipated new NISO work items, creating unique package IDs to identify e-resource packages across ERM systems and KnowledgeBases. The project starts with an in-depth analysis of the landscape, documenting use cases, collecting and defining the requirements from each stakeholder and identifying possible issues early on in the process. The goal is to find a workable and practical solution that can be relatively easily applied across the supply chain. As always with NISO projects, this work relies on collaboration and consensus and we need the help of the community to bring this adventure to a successful ending. Come to this session to hear from us but we also want to hear from you! We are looking forward to your questions, comments and ideas.

The NISO Plus conference brings people together from across the global information community to share updates and participate in conversations about our shared challenges and opportunities. The focus is on identifying concrete next steps to improve information flow and interoperability, and help solve existing and potential future problems. Please join us to help address the key issues facing our community of librarians, publishers, researchers, and more — today and tomorrow!

Christine holds degrees in library sciences, information systems, and history.
People tend to think about COUNTER reports as one of the inputs information librarians use to evaluate subscription content. In an increasingly open world, COUNTER needs to evolve to address new needs. Lorraine Estelle and Tasha Mellins-Cohen will outline the ways in which consistent, credible, comparable usage data remains relevant in evaluating the investment libraries are making in Open Access journal and book content. They will also discuss what COUNTER has been doing to facilitate OA reporting within the bounds of the existing release, and explore future options for enhanced and extended item-level OA reporting in the upcoming Release 5.1.
From distributed data hoovering to upstream data quality: how International Data Space frameworks and standards may transform book usage metrics
Stakeholders involved in the OA eBook Usage Data Trust will share how the emerging IDS model and data rulebook approach being developed in Europe is informing data trust infrastructure development efforts that aim to improve the exchange and accessibility of trusted usage data for OA ebooks. You will be introduced to the International Data Space concept that has emerged across multiple industries and will then consider what a potential international data space architecture and rule book might look like for scholarly publishing, given the constellation of existing OA metadata and usage data platforms, services, and stakeholders.
The user journey to Discovery: tips for content providers
We usually hear that is not the destination but the journey what is important. Is this also applicable when we talk about Discovery in the context of the scholarly communication?
10 years of discovery services implementation and digital publishing development have altered the library technological scene, users’ expectations, and scholarly communication actor’s interactions. Covid-19 pandemic also highly impacted many areas of the scholarly communication specially delivery and discovery.
This presentation will be of interest to content providers, librarians and service vendors. This presentation will contribute to the understanding of what is Discovery and what content providers can/should do to contribute to the discovery of their own content and per consequence improve the experience of end users.
This presentation will contribute to the understanding of the basics on Discovery but also provide a check list of what content providers should do to excel in this field. From metadata providers to partnerships, content providers have an essential role on Discovery but how much are they responsible of the success of the Discovery users’ journeys? What can they do and why?
Trekking Into the Semantic Frontier
Users want library discovery to be precise and intuitive. And solutions on the open web have natural language and contextual semantic search capabilities enabling them to understand users and return lots of information. But many of these tools lack precision. Their results reflect popular searches, but what if a user is looking for something unpopular? What if the user is focused on a very specific aspect of a topic, or researching an unknown relationship between two different topics?
This is where libraries have the advantage. Libraries have rich metadata. Discovery services can look for subject tags. So, discovery users aren’t flooded with irrelevant results that were called up because they share keywords with the query. Instead, the discovery service gets what the user wants.
Users should have the best of both worlds: a semantic search capability that combines natural language with discovery’s subject precision. However, while many institutions and companies are working toward achieving semantic search, there are no true standards and definitions of what semantic search is or should be for academic research.
This panel will discuss the problem’s scope, how the library world is addressing this, and suggest how the research community can come together to craft standards.
