Re. Discrepancies in the article on OSS
by rajendra singh 27 May '11

27 May '11

I have read the article as well as the comment. I have also been trained in NewGenLib at NISCAIR. Mr. Giri was the resource person. He always told that there were certain difficulties, he did not overcome by the time and need more experimentation and discussion at NewGenlib Forum. As he told that Mr Em Siddhartha of NewGenLib is very positively responsive to solve problems, one is advised to put the difficulties at NewGenlib Forum. Certain problems he told in the class, has been solved by himself later on. I have implemented NewGenlib in our library and he provided help with out taking a single penny from us. In OSS, findinig a problem in the software and searching for its solution is very lively and continuous process. Also, with the coming of latest version, some earlier problems has already been removed. Thus, I don't find any discrepancies in article at all. About the intention of the author in the article, It is nothing but the process of implementation of OSS in Library Regards Rajendra Singh Dy.

Taming the complexity of metadata and semantics in open access infrastructures is a major challenge and the subject of intense ongoing activities worldwide. The impact of these efforts can be very significant, including aspects like enhanced interoperability of open access repositories with repositories, aggregators as well as external services and applications, reduced cost of information exchange and integration, wide re-use of repository data and services across disciplines and availability of high quality, reliable value-added services over repositories. AIM The aim of this Special Track is to bring together researchers and practitioners that are working on open access repositories and data management in research infrastructures. The track will serve as a discussion forum for experts to present recent results and experiences, establish liaisons with other groups, and reflect on the state-of-the-art of metadata and semantic aspects of open access repositories and infrastructures. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to the following: • Information standards and specifications for open access repositories • Information exchange, aggregation and integration in open access infrastructures • Interoperability in open access infrastructures • Open access infrastructures for scientific data • Metadata schemas and application profiles • Multilingual vocabularies, taxonomies, glossaries and thesauri • Support of advanced features for repository metadata: compound objects, complex relationships, handling heterogeneous content, versioning, etc. • Information mining and extraction in open access repositories • Application of semantic web technologies in open access repositories and infrastructures • Metadata quality in repositories and infrastructures • Mechanisms and infrastructures for persistent identification of entities (e.g. digital objects, people, organisations) and authority control in metadata • Digital preservation workflows and mechanisms and impact on metadata • Metadata and knowledge representation in research infrastructures across disciplines • Metadata and semantics for grey literature repositories • Metadata and semantics for research information – interoperability of open access repositories and CRIS • Value-added services based on repository metadata IMPORTANT DATES 2011, June 20th: paper submission 2011, July 20th: acceptance/rejection notification 2011, July 31th: camera-ready papers due 2011, October 12th-14th: MTSR'11 in Izmir-Turkey.
