PRESS RELEASE

Beaverton (USA), Lisse (The Netherlands), London (UK), 
January 20th 2006


Journal Supply Chain Efficiency Improvement Pilot project gets underway

The British Library, HighWire Press, Ringgold Inc., Swets Information
Services B.V. and a group of HighWire-affiliated publishers announced today
the launch of an initiative that will see these esteemed parties joining
forces in 2006 to explore the creation, prototype implementation and value
of a common institutional identifier that can be used throughout the entire
industry, from purchaser to end user. 

The start of every calendar year is a turbulent time for all parties
involved with the journal supply chain, with missing issues, lost access to
electronic journals and problems relating to the setting up of initial
access. Many of these problems occur because of communication breakdowns
somewhere along that chain. Although each company or organization involved
has its own way of recognizing customers, users, clients and subscriptions,
one of the aims of this project is that, in the creation and utilization of
a standard institutional identifier, these problems will be eliminated,
mitigated or at the very least diagnosed earlier.

As qualified representatives of all stages in the chain, the participants in
this pilot project share the belief that integration and standardization are
of paramount importance to the successful flow of information. The project
will set up real-use case scenarios to discover whether or not the creation
of such a standard identifier for institutions will be beneficial to all
parties involved and test implementation strategies. The pilot will be
limited to the UK customers of all the participants. The British Library
will be working with the pilot to look at the implications of providing
access to electronic archives. The role of HighWire Press is as a technical
advisor per the request of the HighWire-hosted publishers involved in the
project. Ringgold have been working with publishers for over 3 years to
create a database of institutions and their metadata which will form a key
basis of the pilot. Swets' role will be to oversee how a standard identifier
will affect the workflow between the publishers and consumers of
information.

Regular reports and findings discovered throughout the project will be
published online, along with comments from the participants involved in the
project. All this information will be made publicly available at the
following web address: www.JournalSupplyChain.org
