      • Mapped BBC Infax to Dublin Core
      • From DC to other standards such as MARC21, METS and UK-LOM Core
      • Technical Standards
      • OAI-PMH for sharing metadata
      • SRW for cross searching
    32. Finding stuff

    40. Media Annotation
    41. Project Pad
    42. Rights
      • 3 main challenges
      • Deposit and serving: BBC / Caledonian Legal Deposit agreement
      • Users and permissions: the Glasgow Caledonian User License
      • Third party rights and permissions - coping with the 1988 Copyright Act
    43. Legal Deposit Agreement
      • Gives worldwide permissions
      • to display
      • to stream
      • to download for individual study purposes
      • Restrictions
      • Provisional temporal permissions
      • Limited to “educational users”
      • Requirement to handle third party rights
    44. Spoken Word End-User Licence Agreement
      • ‘ … . OK, it goes like this… you just accessed our materials archive, for which we are truly grateful (after all, your interest keeps us in business). However, when you accessed it, you were actually only being given the right to download or stream parts of it for educational use, not to republish or repost it. The stuff contained in the archive still belongs to us, or those third parties who have allowed us to make it available to you. By allowing you access to this material, we are “licensing” it to you. This is a lot like renting it forever… we still own it but you can use it all you want but only for educational use. What does all this mean to you? …’
    45. Radical Active Clearance
      • Procedures
      • Identify, trace and contact third parties
      • Request permissions
      • Present outcomes and request the comments of experts
      • Outcomes
      • Tracing participants
      • We have attempted to trace 659 participants
      • Failed to make contact with 278
      • Had replies from 250
      • Currently attempting 131 (46 of these we are in dialogue with)
      • Refusals and confusions
      • Poetry: 14 refusals or acceptable conditions
      • General: 4 refusals or acceptable conditions
      • Confusions: "What did I say?  Can I listen to that? etc" "I don't have any rights! Talk to the BBC...“
      • Permissions
      •         246 signed our permissions form with no reservations or conditions
    46. Some Examples
      • .....
    47. (4) Where to next?
    48. Digital Libraries
      • Moving now to Fedora
      • Open source
      • Java-based system
      • all content, metadata and relationships stored as XML
      • Highly flexible, scalable and configurable
      • All management and access tasks possible through web service API interfaces
    49. Why Fedora?
      • Meets OAIS requirements
      • Trusted digital repository requires:-
      • persistent identifiers
      • mechanisms for open access
      • mediated deposit
      • quality metadata
      • authentication and authorisation
      • federated resource discovery
      • provision for long term preservation
    50. Fedora
      • Developed from the US education digital library community, especially at Cornell University and University of Virginia
      • Now worldwide
    51. Fedora UK & Ireland
    52. Scholarly Communication
      • International Scholarly Communication requires:-
      • Trusted digital repositories
      • Use of common standards for interoperability
      • Better federated identity management – Shibboleth
      • Ability to capture and store user generated content – annotations, metadata, objects
      • A flexible, modular approach to deal with technological change
      • To support choice and allow imaginative connections between scholars
    53. Some Future Developments
      • A new front end finding aid to work with Fedora, retaining Padova functionality
      • Integration of annotation tools with this finding aid – allowing users access to favourites, notes and annotations
      • Community of practice model showing different ‘types’ of users – harnessing power of ‘trusted academic experts’
      • Automated systems to allow teachers and students to create their own podcasts
    54. Relationship with the BBC
      • Increasing demand for BBC content from further/higher educational communities
      • Towards greater rights protection and jurisdiction - Shibboleth
      • Towards "cease and desist" rights declarations?
      • How do we move forward?
      • Continuation of deposit model?
      • or
      • Hook into open BBC services; allowing us to build education specific applications/expertise on top of BBC systems and content?
