“…A key Society is that of people involved in graduate education [21]. New to that scene are the authors of ETDs, who need various kinds of support [76]. But they also are the ultimate innovators, who will make sure that the genre of ETDs develops and matures, allowing them to communicate ever more effectively [40].…”

“…Indeed, if one considers that theses and dissertations are the main, and sometimes the only artifact resulting from years of student labor, and that having ETDs available may increase the number who read them by a factor of 100 or 1000, students are among those with the most to gain from ETD initiatives [66]. They also can gain when there is strong support for ETD authors [76].…”

Worldwide initiatives toward digital library (DL) support for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), facilitated by the work of the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), are a key part of the move toward open access. When all graduate students learn to use openly available ETDs, and have experience with authoring and submission in connection with their own research results, it will be easy for them to continue these efforts through other contributions to open access. When all universities support ETD activities, they will be key participants in institutional repositories and open access, and will have engaged in discussion and infrastructure development supportive of further open access activities. Understanding of open access also can be facilitated through modeling of all of these efforts using the 5S framework, considering the key aspects of DL development: Societies, Scenarios, Spaces, Structures, and Streams. Keywords 5S (societies, scenarios, spaces, structures, streams). Curricula. DL (digital library). ETD (electronic thesis or dissertations). NDLTD (networked digital library of theses and dissertations). Open access. OAI (open archives initiative). Standards. ETDs, NDLTD e acesso aberto: uma perspectiva 5S Resumo Iniciativas internacionais para o suporte de teses e dissertações eletrônicas (ETDs) através de bibliotecas digitais (DL), facilitadas pelo trabalho da Biblioteca Digital em Rede de Teses e Dissertações (NDLTD), são um fato chave no caminho ao acesso aberto. Quando os alunos de pós-graduação aprenderem a usar as ETDs disponíveis e tiverem experimentado a criação e a submissão dos trabalhos resultantes de suas pesquisas, ele serão participantes ativos nos repositórios institucionais e no acesso aberto. Ao mesmo tempo, poderão se engajar nas discussões e na criação de infraestrutura que suporte o crescimento do acesso aberto. A compreensão do acesso aberto pode ser facilitada pela modelagem 5S aplicada aos aspectos fundamentais das biblitoecas digitais: Societies (Sociedades), Scenarios (Cenários), Spaces (Espaços), Structures (Estruturas) e Streams (Correntes). Palavras-chave 5S (societies = sociedades, scenarios = cenários, spaces = espaços, structures = structures, streams = correntes). Currículos. DL (digital library = bibliotecas digitais). ETD (electronic thesis or dissertations = teses ou dissertações eletrônicas). NDLTD (networked digital library of theses and dissertations = biblioteca digital em rede de teses e dissertações).

Abstract. Federated digital libraries are composed of distributed, autonomous, and often heterogeneous information services but provide users with a transparent, integrated view of collected information. In this paper we discuss a federated system for the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), an international consortium of universities, libraries, and other supporting institutions focused on electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). Federation requires dealing flexibly with differences among systems, ontologies, and data formats while respecting information sources' autonomy. Our solution involves adapting the object-oriented digital library system MARIAN to serve as mediation middleware for the federated NDLTD collection. Components of the solution include: 1) the use and integration of several harvesting techniques; 2) an architecture based on objectoriented ontologies of search modules and metadata; 3) reconciliation of diversity within the harvested data joined to a single collection view for the user; and 4) an integrated framework for addressing such questions as data quality, flexible and efficient search, and scalability.
