The Landscape
• Common Serials Transactions:
Transaction Format
Claims X12, EDIFACT, Proprietary
System migration MARC21, varied text
Holdings Reporting MARC21, varied text
Subscription Lists Varied text
A-Z Lists Varied text (mostly spreadsheets)

JWP Overview
• What? – Proposed standard for exchange of online serials subscription
data• Who?
– NISO/EDItEUR Joint Working Party (JWP)• Why?
– Standardized transactions are more efficient• What else?
– Identifier issues• Where is this all going?

Serials Management Mess:It’s All Greek
• The problem: – Libraries, Publishers, and Publication
Access Management Services (PAMS) all exchange coverage data in different formats
– It is like saying the same thing in different alphabets: Hello ΈΛΛΩ

NISO/EDItEUR JWP Tasks
• Propose enhancements to ONIX for Serials to support exchange of serials subscription information
• Conduct pilot projects involving publishers, intermediaries, and libraries to demo ONIX for Serials as an exchange format for serials subscription information

ONIX for Serials
• A family of standards for describing serials metadata:– Serial Title Record– Serial Item Record– Subscription Package Record
http://www.editeur.org/onixserials.html
• The new standards…
![Page 18: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
New Formats
• SOH -- Serial Online Holdings– Used for:
• Library’s online coverage managed by PAMS– Basis for A-Z List– Populates Resolution Server coverage database
![Page 19: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
New Formats
• SPS -- Serial Products and Subscriptions– Used for:
• Publisher’s catalog/offerings• Library’s holdings from publisher
– Sources:• Publishers• Subscription agents
![Page 20: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
New Formats
• SRN -- Serial Release Notification– Provides an alert that specific journal issues or
articles have been published
– Used for (possibly):• Automated serials check-in
• JWP is extended thru 2005 so it can review and enhance SRN
![Page 21: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Real-life Examples
• SOH– Do-It-Yourself A-Z List– Populating Resolution Server Coverage Database
(SFX, WebBridge) – Population Electronic Resource Management system
![Page 22: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Results of Pilots
• SOH– LC & Serials Solutions
• A-Z List tested• Link Resolver and ERM Database in pilot
Examples of the SOH in action…

Searching
• Bibliographic-level searching– Nothing new here
![Page 26: Evolving Standards for Serials in the Electronic Resources Era Ted Fons Product Manager Innovative Interfaces](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ee95503460f94bfac68/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Practical Challenges
• Identifiers– Title identifiers:
• ISSN applied inconsistently• Poor cataloging: “this data is dirtier than I thought”)
– Package identifiers:• CONSER Summit topic• Needs serious attention!
• Lack of enriched data– Chronology: yes– Enumeration: no
• Publisher commitment

Practical Successes
• Pilots– SOH nearly complete
• PAMS Commitment– Serials Solutions– Ebsco
