Neue Mailliste: Interoperabilitaet (fwd)

["H. Bork" <bork _at__ plb.de>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, 
hier eine neue Liste ueber das Zusammenwirken digitaler Dienste
in bibliographischer Umwelt, Z39.50, Dublin Core, XML, ... - unten
steht mehr, ein schoenes Wochenende und viele Gruesse vom hbk ;-)

The UK Interoperability Focus [1] announces a new electronic mailing
list for the discussion of issues related to the design, construction,
and ongoing operation of interoperable services in an international
cross-domain digital environment.

This list, called 'interoperability', is hosted by the United Kingdom's
Mailbase service [2], and is open to anyone interested in serious
discussion of these issues.

To join the list, send a message to

        mailbase _at__ mailbase.ac.uk

where the body of the message reads

        join interoperability Your Name
        stop

You must remember to replace 'Your Name', above, with your own name. For
example,

        join interoperability Paul Miller
        stop.

Interoperable services such as those relevant to discussion on this list
span a range of domains, from the United Kingdom's Hybrid Library
projects, to the on-line collections of the world's museums, and
services which facilitate access to a range of these, such as the United
Kingdom's Arts & Humanities Data Service.

The issues, too, are many and varied, spanning technical considerations
(Z39.50, Dublin Core, XML/RDF, <indecs>, IMS, etc.), semantics
(controlled terminologies, thesauri, etc.), politics (issues related to
the release of previously internal data, for example), cross-domain
working, and internationalisation.

The list is intended as a forum for practitioners in these areas, within
which they can discuss the issues which transcend their own individual
disciplines. It will also be used to disseminate information on the work
of the UK Interoperability Focus, and to assist in ensuring that the
work of this post remains relevant to the broader community.
