“…6 DOIs are persistent, unique links assigned to digital content such as electronic journal articles. Each DOI is "paired with the object's electronic address, or URL, in an updateable central directory, and is published in place of the URL in order to avoid broken links while allowing the content to move as needed."…”

“…DOIs typically link to the publisher's site, regardless of whether the user has permission to access the content on that site. 8 If a user has access to content through, for example, an aggregator database but not at the publisher's website, the DOI system alone has no way of knowing this. The OpenURL framework, on the other hand, is a dynamic linking model that can perform context-sensitive linking, "whereby links are flexible and able to take into account the user's institutional affiliations and the licenses of that institution."…”

This paper highlights three industry initiatives currently working on ways to improve access to licensed electronic content. The three initiatives are KBART, IOTA, and PIE-J. Background information onL ibraries today rely heavily on electronic full-text content. Users like electronic access, but become frustrated when links to content do not work. The OpenURL standard ushered in a new and much improved way of linking to licensed electronic content, but despite broad adoption of OpenURL, links still fail and access to licensed content still eludes users more often than librarians would like. Even when links resolve correctly, users sometimes are unable to find what they seek because of how journal content is displayed on provider websites. This paper discusses some of the reasons behind failed access and describes in detail three industry initiatives currently working on ways to improve access to electronic content. The three initiatives are recommended practices for Knowledge Bases and Related Tools (KBART), a two-year research project aimed at Improving OpenURLs Through Analytics (IOTA), and recommended practices for the Presentation and Identification of E-Journals (PIE-J). While these initiatives will not solve all access problems, they offer solutions to specific, known causes of electronic access failure. Understanding exactly what they do can help those involved in the electronic serials supply chain improve their own work, communicate effectively with others, and advocate for adoption of best practices by publishers and other content providers. To fully understand the initiatives, background information is presented on OpenURL, link resolvers, and knowledge bases, as well as detailed descriptions of the access problems the initiatives were developed to improve. The ultimate goal of this paper is to enhance understanding of the work being done by KBART, IOTA, and PIE-J to provide those who deal with electronic access issues with the information they need to effect change and ultimately bring better service to users.

“…Isto configura uma solução aberta, sensível ao contexto. A seleção da melhor cópia, ou da "cópia apropriada" -como é chamada pelos autores da área -, é baseada nas preferências do usuário e nas políticas de informação da sua organização, considerando a localização da cópia, seu custo, os acordos comerciais com fornecedores, com serviços agregadores e com os estoques de informação da instituição (Caplan;Arms, 1999;Beit-Arie et al, 2001;Beit-Arie, 2001).…”

“…A norma OpenURL especifica um formato padronizado para transportar metadados bibliográficos de objetos informacionais entre serviços de informação Beit-Arie, 2001). Ou seja, define uma sintaxe para a criação de um pacote transportável, via web, de metadados e/ou identificadores que referenciam um recurso informacional, tipicamente um recurso bibliográfico.…”

“…Isto se torna viável pela existência do proxy DOI, através do qual requisições de resolução podem ser redirecionadas para um componente de serviço, ou seja, para um resolvedor OpenURL no contexto de uma instituição. Vejamos o fluxo a seguir à guisa de exemplo (Beit-Arie et al, 2001): 1) Um leitor clica num link DOI encontrado na forma de citação no artigo de um periódico eletrônico. Este URL é direcionado ao proxy DOI, que é o alvo de todos os links DOI no contexto DOI/CrossRef, juntamente com um cookie previamente instalado no navegador do leitor, que expressa a componente de serviço -a baseURL -preferida por este leitor.…”

O conceito de repositórios digitais distribuídos e interoperáveis - sejam eles bibliotecas ou arquivos digitais - para ser viável, depende fortemente de uma infra-estrutura de identificação persistente e da confiabilidade do esquema de links entre recursos informacionais distintos, porém relacionados, de forma a assegurar ao usuário o acesso contínuo e conveniente aos conteúdos digitais. Neste trabalho, descreve-se o atual estado da arte da identificação persistente na Internet e da vinculação por links, tendo como foco a interoperabilidade das bibliotecas digitais de arquitetura aberta. Contrastam-se as diversas abordagens e analisam-se os mais importantes esquemas e o relacionamento entre eles: URN, PURL, DOI, CrossRef, Handle System and OpenURL.
