Agenda

  • Vision, Mission and Strategy

  • Examples

    • Discovery

    • Delivery

    • Data Contribution

  • Developer Network

  • Conclusion


Mission statement l.jpg

OCLC will be the

leading global library cooperative

helping libraries serve people

by providing economical access to knowledge

through innovation and collaboration

OCLC exists to further access to the world's information and reduce library costs by offering services for libraries and their users.

Mission Statement


Slide4 l.jpg

The WorldCat Grid comprises Union catalogues, including WorldCat, and associated registries (describinglibrary business resources),

common application components which automatebusiness processes

and are available to the OCLC service environments, and network interface services which expose functionality for readyreuseby partners and for integration betweenlocal, group and global


Local group and national catalogues l.jpg

Local, Group and National Catalogues

  • Significant contributions to WorldCat by major independent catalogues:

    • Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, United Kingdom ++

  • Mutual Benefits

    • WorldCat is more comprehensive

    • Library resources are better exposed through a web scale site

    • OCLC provides catalogue enrichment services, software components, developer network

  • 14 million referrals a month

  • 1 million a month from Google Books


Data resources search present select l.jpg

p.s. 86th millionth record

added by the South African Library Consortium

Data Resources: Search, Present, Select

Worldcat grid principles l.jpg

WorldCat Grid – Principles

  • Maximize usage of collective data

  • Provide discrete business processes as services or components

  • Look for existing solutions before building

  • Based on Standards

  • Develop a partnership community


Meeting needs at local group national levels l.jpg

Meeting needs at local, group /national levels

  • Storage of data in optimum location

    • Flexibility important

  • Make the data available (including enriched, harvested, contributed, mined...)

    • At local, group / national as well as global levels

    • Components and Services to serve diverse systems

  • Create Developer Network


Storage in optimum location l.jpg

Storage in optimum location

  • Central data sources

    • Exposure via web scale site – worldcat.org

    • Collective collection development

      • Collection analysis, collection comparison

    • Data mining & statistics

  • Regional and local sources

    • Data with little relevance outside region

    • Sensitive data (private, political sensitivities)

    • Dynamic data

    • Linked to central data : importance of identifiers


Make the data available l.jpg

Make the data available

  • Identify standards requirements to facilitate enquiry and diffusion of data

    • SRU, Z39.50, OAIPMH, OpenURL – develop query context sets and schemas as necessary

  • Provide software services

    • Access to data at local, group / national levels

    • Data transformation & validation services

  • Provide software components

    • For incorporation into systems at local, group / national levels, into browsers

    • Interoperating with OCLC’s data services


Examples discovery l.jpg

Examples: Discovery

  • SRU server enquiry capability being deployed across data resources

  • Data Grouping (FRBR-like) services

    • Fiction Finder (prototype service, freely available)

    • XIdentifier services for discovery of additional editions (public identifiers = 30% WorldCat) (low volume use free)

    • Cluster data service for clustering result sets and discovery of additional editions (OCLC identifiers = 100% WorldCat) (service in development)

    • Ongoing work in Office of Research and Quality Control to improve grouping – Full commitment

  • WorldCat Registry (free service)

    • Links from holdings display to OPAC

      • Worldcat.org statistics for 2007 – av. 800,000 clicks a month to OPACs

    • Links to libraries’ resolvers for access to full text

    • Over 90,000 institutions registered

    • Machine enquiry services

      • Search service & OpenURL gateway

Machine level services in action l.jpg

Machine Level Services in Action


Worldcat registry l.jpg

WorldCat Registry

  • A global directory of libraries,

    • locations, contacts, and services

  • Free for all libraries to maintain and share with partners

  • Pre-populated with OCLC data

    • augmented by libraries and partners

  • Centralisation essential for delivering content and services more efficiently on the Web


National partners l.jpg

National partners

  • Australia, New Zealand, South Africa

    “Sharing of directory metadata will streamline workflow processes for Australian libraries, and make the 'getting' part of the 'finding and getting' function more efficient and successful for library patrons. The international standard ISO 2146 Registry Services for Libraries and Related Organisations http://www.nla.gov.au/wgroups/ISO2146/, produced at the NLA, was successfully used as a benchmark for this project.”

    Debbie Campbell, National Library of Australia
