Scholar’s Portal Metadata Project
History• Dec. 2005 Jeff led a discussion
looking at our needs for providing easy access to our data collections
• Out of this grew an idea for building on the Scholar’s Portal collaboration by developing a centralized, web-based, data extraction/analysis system in Ontario
• Group agreed to develop a discussion paper reviewing the current situation and outlining the benefits to OCUL from collaboration

Three Major Hurdles• Access• Use • Standards
• Over time these hurdles have been coming down
• The time is right to move to more collaboration
• These 3 presentations should make clear that things are coming together and opportunities are arising

Current Situation
• There is a clear recognized value from web-based services
• Less time spent downloading and processing data
• More time for outreach, teaching and promoting numeracy

Looking Forward
Recognizing Need– Need for ongoing development of
homegrown solutions– Emerging metadata standards
imply that commercial solutions have evolved to point where their functionality surpasses homegrown solutions
– We are at the point where the added value of commercial solutions exceeds the value of local customization

April 9, 2006 DINO
Looking Forward
• Building on Scholar’s Portal Model– Centralized provision of citation,
abstracting and full-text databases has altered the way we look at the purchase, provision and preservation of these essential services
– Is numeric data any different?– The model is there, we just need
to apply it to data

April 9, 2006 DINO
Looking Forward• The Case for Adopting Metadata
Standards– This is the key for successful
collaboration – The emergence of DDI as the de
facto standard opens new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration
– Discussion around DDI3 sends a strong signal for ongoing development and support
– Stats Canada, DLI, RDC and ICPSR directions are focusing on the DDI standard and creating consistent metadata
– CANDDI has articulated what is needed

April 9, 2006 DINO
Looking Forward
• The Case for a Centralized Data Extraction/Analysis System– This is secondary to establishing
metadata standards– Commercial solution provides a
more sophisticated and sustainable solution
– From a research and teaching perspective we will benefit from a common data interface, shared metadata, broader base of expertise and richer body of teaching and research materials

What is next
• Not all projects going before OCUL were costed
• They need more information to compare
• We have been asked to tighten our request
• Meeting in Guelph on the 10th to work on this
• …next meeting
