ICYMI: ODI Open Teleconference on Web-Scale Discovery
Miss The Live Broadcast? We've Got You Covered
NISO's Keondra Bailey hosted the October 2024 Open Teleconference, joined by Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) Standing Committee co-chairs Ken Varnum and Rachel Kessler to discuss the committee's current work, including the new "Demystifying Discovery" video series.
The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) aims at defining standards and/or best practices for the new generation of library discovery services that are based on indexed search. These discovery services are primarily based upon indexes derived from journals, ebooks and other electronic information of a scholarly nature. The content comes from a range of information providers and products--commercial, open access, institutional, etc.
Given the growing interest and activity in the interactions between information providers and discovery services, a more standard set of practices is required for the ways that content is represented in discovery services and for the interactions between the creators of these services and the information providers whose resources they represent.
