OCLC is moving its interlibrary loan and resource sharing services to a new web-based platform to improve efficiencies and workflows. The new system will allow for patron-initiated requests and better display of request information. It will integrate purchase options and incorporate license data to determine what content libraries can lend. The migration from the existing FirstSearch platform is planned for summer 2012, providing libraries with time to transition. The goals are to make resource sharing services more agile and closely tied to other OCLC services like the WorldCat knowledge base and management system.
SPS Phoenix Optimizing SharePoint for Transactional Content ManagementDocFluix, LLC
Transactional content is comprised of documents that organization receives from external parties, such as vendors, customers and partners. Common examples of transactional documents are vendor invoices, purchase orders from clients, claim forms, application and enrollment forms and most any documents that a company receives on paper and needs to scan in.
While SharePoint is a an excellent platform for Enterprise Content Management, there are a few challenges in using SharePoint to manage transactional content.
This presentation addresses some of the more obscure (yet complex) out of the box features that can be configured in SharePoint to improve management of transactional content along with some software products from Hershey Technologies that simplify and enhance the user experience.
Optimizing SharePoint for Transactional Content ManagementDocFluix, LLC
While SharePoint 2010 and 2013 has a wide range of great document management features, organizations that need "transactional content management" (such as invoices, purchase orders, claims, registration forms or other high volume documents related to a business process or transaction) find numerous challenges in optimizing SharePoint for this purpose. This presentation will cover how best to configure and optimize SharePoint for this type of document management.

Cloud web scale discovery services landscape an overviewNikesh Narayanan
Abstract
The impact of Internet and Google like search engines radically influenced the information behavior of Net Generation users. They expect same environment in library services such that all their required information make available in a single set of results through unified search across all the available resources. Libraries have been striving to respond to this challenge for years. Until recently, federated search technology of the past decade was the better attempt in this area to meet these user expectations. But federated search solution is marked by the drawbacks of its slowness as it searches each database on the fly. New Generation cloud based Library Web scale discovery technology is a promising entrant in this landscape. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery solutions such as its importance to Library field, their possible role as the starting point for research, content coverage, and finally analyses the competition at the discovery front by comparing the services of major players. The comparative analysis shows that all the major service providers are extending competitive features and services, but varies in some areas and the adoption choice depends on the concerned library’s preferences and the cost involved.
Presented at the 2015 Charleston Conference by Neil Block, Vice President of Discovery Innovation, Academic Libraries at EBSCO Information Services; Elizabeth Leonard, Asst. Dean for Info. Technologies and Collection Services, Seton Hall University; and Tim McGeary, Associate University Librarian for IT, Duke University.
A briefing paper written by Ken Chad for Higher Education Library Technology contrasts the library resource management landscape now with the situation in 2008 when a Jisc/SCONUL LMS study recommended that the time was not right for libraries to purchase a new library management system. In the intervening period a new generation of 'library services platforms' (LSPs) has emerged to replace library management systems (or integrated library systems –as they are also known) and the pace of procurement has quickened.
Ken Chad analyses the current landscape and looks at the strategic issues around the changing nature of library collections, shared services, workflows, analytics and the cloud. He predicts that LSPs will move to encompass additional resource silos. Furthermore cloud-based library platforms will unleash further opportunity for shared services. ”The cloud is becoming the new normal” he suggests, quoting Amazon’s cloud strategy chief Andrew Jassy.
Web scale Discovery services are becoming the most sought after solution for Libraries to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. Many studies show that these services are getting wide acceptance from users as well as Library staff and making revolution in Library Information retrieval arena. Given such broad implications, selecting a new discovery service for libraries is an important undertaking. Library professionals should carefully evaluate options to meet their goal of finding the best potential match for their library. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery, how it differs from federated searching and highlights the important parameters to be considered for taking an informed and confident decision on selecting discovery service.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Editor's Notes
As library collections have changed, the supply chain for materials has become splintered and at times complex. Here are some of the key benefits of unified acquisition and license managements –for both physical and electronic materials –in a single system.Read bullets on slide.
Cataloging has been a core service of OCLC for a long time and Cataloging continues to offer the shared tools for data creation and enrichmentRead slide.A couple of examples:The WorldCat knowledge base that is being integrated with WorldCat, so once materials are licensed, title level holdings are automatically created for the e-serial titles licensed by your library. The knowledge base is critical since it contains the detailed holdings and access information for your library’s e-journals. This improves both resource sharing and WorldCat Local…The WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway, which allows a library to easily cross walk metadata from their digital repository that’s OAI compliant, such as CONTENTdm or dSpace, and have harvested automatically on a periodic basis to WorldCat
Already in use by hundreds of libraries, the power of WorldCat Local as a discovery to delivery interface for your end users continues to increase with Web-scale management. It delivers:Single search for physical, electronic and digital collections including resources licensed from multiple suppliers -- OCLC continues to make more content accessible through the WorldCat Local central index with content from H.W. Wilson, Gale, EBSCO and Jstor and many others…It has a smart delivery resolver to help the user get the best choice for accessing the itemWorkflow tools that aid users in organizing and reusing informationIntegration with search engines and widgets to weave library into the WebAnd the result is increased usage of your library’s materials and collections454 million articles in a huge range of databases
Currently, platform pilot libraries are working on this—will later be opened up to others Example—new york times best seller widgetAmazon acquisitions widget
