  1. Euclid and ASA Needs ASA overall expectation Euclid technical infrastructure • Hardware and software Where these meet ASA requirements Timeline for Euclid development Address ASA technical questions

  2. ASA Overall Expectation 7 Journals by July 2001 • Faster distribution of research results • Electronic searching of articles • Include access to relevant data in journal • Cross reference linking Electronic editions as important as paper • Archival, richly tagged database • LaTeX and typeset PDF sources

  3. Euclid Technical Infrastructure Hardware platform Software base Development currently underway Implementation timeline

  4. Euclid Hardware Platform Sun Center for Excellence in Digital Libraries Sun Enterprise 3500 server for Euclid Installation is happening today

  5. Euclid Software Base Leveraging work done in Computer Science “DIENST” • Software and protocols for electronic content • Used by over 50 institutions for tech reports • Underpins distribution of law e-journals

  6. Euclid Software Development Adding editorial capabilities to “DIENST” Modifying to reflect journal structure Enhancing security and distribution control Tailoring user interface

  11. Euclid Development Timeline Euclid Phase 1 ready for test Jan 2001 Sample journals ready to test Feb 2001 Move to release April 2001 Testing journal loading May - June 2001 Final journal load June 2001 Journals ready for public use July 2001

  12. ASA Technical Questions Turnaround time Expected input New technology New distribution capabilities Network dissemination and mirror sites Usage statistics

  13. Turnaround: From input to e-distribution Depends on metadata creation Exploring batch processes Could be done using online editor One week, outside, for an issue

  14. Expected input Need 2 things • Metadata • Content LaTex to extract • Reference links • Author / abstract / other metadata • Try to capture page numbers PDF to display content

  15. New Technology:Euclid’s Capacity to Evolve with Technology Euclid in active development for two years MathML under investigation in archiving project Maintaining unofficial communication with many technology specialists at Cornell System design that is modular and flexible

  16. Adding New Distribution Capabilities Euclid will include two options • Subscription • Pay-per-view Combination is also possible Distribution is publisher’s choice

  17. Network Dissemination and Mirror Sites Inherent in “DIENST” design Searching can include multiple sites Operating today for CS Tech Reports

  18. Usage Statistics Planned as part of system design Which journals and articles Whether subscriber or not When system is used

  19. Costs to ASA

  20. HardwareServer maintenanceBackup Hardware upgrade Software licenses System administration Programmer Reference linking User support Admin. support Management Cost Elements

  21. Benefits to the ASA Shape innovative productEconomies of scaleTop drawer non profit institutionsDelivery of high quality information at affordable pricesSynergies with related content
