みなさま
内島です。AIRwayプロジェクトのD-Lib magazineの論文のレビューがアメリカのNISO
(National Information Standard Organizations)のニュースに出たとのことです。
もともと、OpenURLは、NISOのスタンダード(Z39.88)でISOのスタンダードにしようと
努力しているところなので、レビューの対象になるのは当然と言えますね。

Linking Service to Open Access Repositories
D-Lib Magazine (04/07) Vol. 13, No. 3, ; Sugita, Shigeki; Horikoshi, Kunie; Suzuki, Masako
Link resolvers have been less than satisfactory when it comes to providing article-level resolution for Open Access (OA)
documents that have been compiled in institutional repositories (IRs), which prompted researchers at several Japanese
universities to determine that the resolver should search the items registered in IRs and only show a link to the
repository version when usable documents are located. Key to the mechanism's implementation is the accumulation of
metadata for each repository in a machine-readable format, while the collection of metadata from the repositories and the
enablement of link resolver searching requires a central service provider. The effects yielded by this approach include
better visibility of repository material, leading to greater and broader use of the results of the research and higher
demand from researchers for registration of their work in the repository; in addition, the researcher will be able to
easily acquire the OA document via the lin
k resolver
even in cases where the affiliated organization is not a subscriber to the electronic journal. Link resolvers can be
integrated with IRs through the insertion of repository "where" information into the link resolver's knowledgebase and
configuration environment, and the researchers working on the Access path to Institutional Resources via link resolvers
(AIRway) Project opted to facilitate this process by having the link resolver produce asynchronous queries to the IR
using technologies such as dynamic button images, dynamic HTML, JSON, or AJAX. HUSCAP, which employs the open-source
DSpace version 1.3.2 IT software system, was chosen to be the AIRway Project's IR query server implementation. The
researchers could not find a format that could return the search query response as an XML file, and so defined one of
their own. Elected to be the link resolver was the production version of iCate, an OpenURL solution created by OCLC
Openly Informatics. (Link to Web Source)
