I did some casual interviews across lots of context 15:09:02 ... what are your challenges and pain points as you move from print to digital 15:09:12 ... Bill talked to lots of publishers 15:09:23 ... I talked to lots of Pearson folks (educational publishing) 15:09:32 ... I interviewed 12 people 15:09:49 ... across global schools/primary schools, vocational, higher ed, and english language teaching 15:09:59 ... they were very candid 15:10:04 ... about their pain points. 15:10:13 ... the report is breezy and easy to read 15:10:20 ... even executives can read it! 15:10:32 ... the top priorities will be no surprise 15:10:39 ... when I combined my interviews with Bill's 15:10:47 ... the results were very different 15:10:56 ... lots of differences between edu and trade 15:11:11 ... trade books don't get atomized 15:11:25 ... trade talked about ONIX, BISAC, PRISM 15:11:42 ... Edu publisher want to offer modularized content around particular subjects 15:11:50 ... so different components can be mashed up 15:12:04 ... they talk about learning objects 15:12:19 ... this is true across all types of education 15:12:33 ... students even using this material at home 15:12:56 ... publishers are focused on getting these resources into all sorts of devices 15:13:09 ... top issue reported is (drum roll) 15:13:22 ... governance 15:13:30 ... there's enough industry standards 15:13:46 ... but the right to refuse is still embedded in traditional publishing process 15:13:55 ... so publishers will refuse to add metadata 15:14:03 ... there's no mechanism from that moment format 15:14:10 ... in content creation and distribution 15:14:20 ... there are rights to refuse along the entire workflow 15:14:26 ... and they all exercise that right 15:14:51 ... they want some kind of mechanism that says you can't go any further until you complete A and B 15:15:09 ... it needs to be incorporated/integrated across entire workflow 15:15:21 ... the next two are ... 15:16:08 ... true for trade, edu, stem 15:16:16 ... free access is something they're dealing now 15:16:35 ... so the question is about expressing rights 15:16:56 ... to express rights for digital mobility, digital downloads, digital views 15:17:04 ... which may come from many producers 15:17:10 ... royalties are a problem. 15:17:20 ... if we're chunking content 15:17:31 ... how much do we charge for the download of a chapter 15:17:41 ... tracking things at the low level is hard 15:18:11 ... the next thing is Flow. Workflow... 15:18:23 ... content creation starts at the signing of an agreement. 15:18:31 ... there are some rights agreed with the author 15:18:44 ... but those rights are stuck in the contract, and don't flow with the content 15:18:56 ... we need to migrate metadata from one part of the work to the next 15:19:03 ... at the end of the workflow 15:19:11 ... you need to distribute the content 15:19:19 ... but they don't know what the rights and metadata are 15:19:32 ... so they have to research, translate, convert metadata 15:19:40 ... and this is labor-intensive 15:19:48 ... they want a more holistic approach 15:20:03 ... so metadata doesn't just come in at the end 15:20:04 -pkra 15:20:16 ... "metadata is a myth" 15:20:32 ... "there's no metadata, so there's no value, so there's no use case" 15:20:42 +pkra 15:20:46 Bill_Kasdorf: metadata schmetadata 15:20:47 Do they sell any book? 15:21:04 madi: half the respondents don't really know that much about metadata 15:21:28 ... they don't understand it enough to put it into practice with their teams 15:21:33 ... so it's back to governance 15:21:42 ... so there's no one saying "this is how it's gonna go" 15:21:53 ... "I don't get a bonus for metadata, I won't do it" 15:22:05 azaroth has joined #DPUB 15:22:08 ... there needs to be authority to make metadata happen 15:22:28 ... needs to happen from top down 15:22:34 ... businesses are ready to change 15:22:44 ... standards was another common issue 15:22:50 ... people can't make this up as we go 15:23:00 ... edu publishers must gather around industry standards 15:23:27 ... we want to offer an oasis to offer recommendations 15:23:37 ... other answers that were'n't as popular 15:23:49 ... inconsistency 15:24:02 ... not just between metadata schemas, but between specific terms 15:24:06 ... lack of incentives 15:24:13 ... which relates to government 15:24:21 ... working for the greater good doesn't help THEM 15:24:28 ... a need for learning objectives 15:24:32 We can offer them an OASIS 15:24:36 ... from standard curriculum authorities 15:24:43 (metadata joke) 15:24:54 ... testing etc. are based on these curriculum authorities 15:25:05 ... everyone wants someone else to do metadata 15:25:21 ... they want a 'metadata laundry service' 15:25:42 ... the conclusion is that everyone has a better understanding 15:25:43 david_stroup has joined #dpub 15:25:48 ... but no one is ready to do something 15:25:58 ... but they want someone else to do that something 15:26:18 ... so let's synthesize my stuff with Bill Kasdorf's 15:26:36 ... and there's the content and markup task force 15:26:47 ... and avoid a piecemeal approach 15:26:50 Liza: thanks! 15:26:58 +1 15:27:01 ... what do edu publishers grapple with? 15:27:16 ... trade has been behind on atomic content 15:27:41 ... how much is this around having to distribute pieces of content? 15:27:47 ... and how much is around the basics 15:28:03 madi: they're still grappling with where they are and where they're standing 15:28:10 ... but they now have a vision of where they need to go 15:28:26 ... and can articulate that. 15:28:39 ... some even said that the legacy stuff should be abandoned 15:28:49 Ivan: sigh 15:28:51 sigh 15:28:55 q+ 15:29:04 Bill_Kasdorf: Can I add some thoughts? 15:29:12 TimCole: Go ahead bill 15:29:42 Bill_Kasdorf: First, fabulous report. It rings true to me, even though I focused on different slice of publishing 15:30:07 ... and trade and edu focus on different things 15:30:18 ... let's be careful not to lose that distinction 15:30:32 Apologies, I need to drop 15:30:39 ... a third axis: most were thinking about trade, a subset were from STEM 15:30:55 ... so we need to think about STEM, as they are different from both trade and edu 15:30:55 -pbelfanti 15:31:20 ... first, I finally posted my interview with Carol Myer from crossref 15:31:28 ... it's now in the wiki 15:31:41 ... what resonated is something that came up in idpf board meeting 15:31:54 ... STEM is part of an ecosystem 15:32:06 ... many of them feel that basic metadata is a solved problem 15:32:20 ... the xml models all have extensive metadata headers 15:32:31 ... they have loads of metadata associated with their content 15:32:44 ... like the trade publishers, it tends to be product focused 15:32:57 ... but it's an article rather than a subsection of something 15:33:04 ... so not quite like edu 15:33:16 ... it works well because there's an ecosystem 15:33:23 ... they have to use the metadata 15:33:34 ... if they don't have crossref and DOIs they can't so anything 15:33:40 ... so it's not a waste of time 15:33:55 q+ 15:34:01 ... now we're in this hybrid of open access and subscription 15:34:09 ... the content needs to carry rights info 15:34:22 ... and crossref is building a system to do that, and NISO has a standard 15:34:34 ... and crossref has set up fundref, a reference of funders 15:34:47 ... so authors can publicly ack. the funders of the research 15:34:59 ... so the big difference with STEM Is this ecosystem 15:35:03 ... one other thing: 15:35:11 ... the rights thing is reallly interesting. 15:35:26 ... it's not just about discovery. You need to know the rights once you discover something. 15:35:41 ... ??? has a rights working group. It focuses on agents and publishers and authors 15:35:54 ... the news people from IPTC are also focusing on rights metadata. 15:36:07 ... the magazine people... PRISM has a rights vocab 15:36:15 ??? = BISG 15:36:17 ... it's all siloed; they're not working together 15:36:24 Liza: let's talk about discovery 15:36:32 ... the word discovery is not suffiecient 15:36:36 s/???/BISG/ 15:36:48 ack TimCole 15:37:12 TimCole: Scholarly publishers were meeting in Boston last week. 15:37:17 "Discovery and Attribution"? "Discovery and Access"? "Discovery and Rights"? 15:37:27 ... the ecosystem comment is interesting 15:37:41 ... there is an ecosystem in trade, but it's seen as a one time event 15:37:51 ... Librarians do use ONIX 15:38:05 ... Librarians add holding info, access info... 15:38:14 ... so metadata gets completed from several sources 15:38:19 "Discovery and Authority"? 15:38:23 ... so there's a governance challeng 15:38:41 ... we need to make sure that metadata is augmented/enriched over time 15:38:49 ... need to do that in a way that's managed 15:39:04 ... first step is that the metadata record at pub time is not the final metadata 15:39:12 ... it will update and change over time 15:39:19 ... we need more organized way to do that 15:39:36 ... part of it is mind-set in different parts of the workflow; what they're responsible for 15:39:47 ack Ivan 15:39:53 Ivan: one remakr 15:40:04 s/rmakr/remark/ 15:40:05 wihtout minimizing importance of crossref 15:40:20 Ivan: the tradition of the scholarly world 15:40:27 ... they already used metadata extensively 15:40:32 ... I was in research 15:40:43 ... having an exact citiation to another pub is very important 15:40:49 ... this is how scholars are judged. 15:40:55 ... a precise citation is metadata. 15:41:15 ... crossref is important, but they came into a community that was already ripe for doing it on computers 15:41:20 ... and that's a big difference 15:41:30 Bill_Kasdorf: publishers demanded crossref be created 15:41:48 ... that could be done because metadata was already fundamental in that group 15:42:08 ... the header metadata is a required element, the body is optional in these XML vocabs 15:42:20 Liza: discovery is optional but important 15:42:43 ... there is a 2nd set of metadata is absolutely required for process 15:42:49 ... like rights information 15:43:00 q+ 15:43:06 ack TimCole 15:43:07 ... maybe that's a useful split: what MUST be there, and what just helps it be discovered 15:43:21 TimCole: There were ??? experiments done before crossref 15:43:35 ... when we first submitted records, we typed those records 15:43:45 ... we were told we included too much metadata 15:44:43 ... we didn't want to include too much metadata for a particular function. Do the right thing in your system, but don't step on other toes 15:44:58 Bill_Kasdorf: crossref is the minimal possible metadata do do the xref function 15:45:12 ... because they exist, they assume it has ALL metadata 15:45:27 ... there's an assumption it's a global repo, it's not. 15:45:34 ... getting back to Madi's report 15:45:37 ... from edu side 15:45:46 ... first, the granularity of content is fundamentally important 15:45:55 ... and the other worlds don't want to think that way 15:46:11 ... but edu has to use that. 15:46:26 Liza: don't want to get hung up on what the publishers think of this 15:46:41 ... in Safari we need to integrate things from all those different worlds 15:46:50 ... the common ground is more important 15:46:56 ... and what users get from it 15:47:04 ... what does metadata deliver to the reader? 15:47:20 ... that's more important that what the traditional publishing silos think. 15:47:21 -duga 15:47:35 Bill_Kasdorf: Who does the work? That's important 15:47:46 ... where does it come from? Who does it? 15:47:52 ... it's someone elses problem 15:47:56 DOI-X experiments -- http://www.librarytechnology.org/ltg-displaytext.pl?RC=7867 15:48:10 ... address at granular level 15:48:36 ... different folks might be the authority for different sorts of metadata 15:48:42 ... but that doesn't exist right now 15:49:00 Liza: what do you think are most relevant to OWP? 15:49:07 42 15:50:03 Ivan: We can say these things are really relevant for OWP 15:50:21 ... or things that we can only draw attention to 15:50:40 ... I don't know how much energy it would require to go through docs to identify what OWP could do 15:50:48 Bill_Kasdorf: We need to do this 15:51:07 ... Having this report is great 15:51:23 ... can we look at this over the next few weeks? 15:51:26 Madi: yes 15:51:27 +q 15:51:37 ... I do believe we're circling the horses 15:51:48 ... once we put it together and share with the group 15:51:58 ack Luc 15:52:02 ... I think recommendations will emerge 15:52:23 Luc: I'm wondering shows that questions of organization and governance 15:52:30 ... but can we do anything about that? 15:52:39 Madi: Can you repeat question? 15:53:10 Luc: the questions are questions of governance. Can this group address such questions? It doesn't seem a natural activity for W3C. 15:53:27 Madi: Governance within standards is still an issue 15:53:41 q+ 15:53:54 ... if we can build a coalition among different standards groups 15:54:05 Bill_Kasdorf: There's a deer-in-headlights reaction 15:54:14 ... it's so mind-boggling they can't process it. 15:54:14 ack gcapiel 15:54:23 ... providing a clearer path forward would be helpful 15:54:40 gcapiel: adding metadata at different points in lifecycle 15:54:50 ... there's a project called the learning registry 15:54:59 ...
