Open Concertation Day on the Bath Profile for Z39.50
Friday 26 November 1999, London
Since the release of a draft of "The Bath Profile: An International Z39.50
Specification for Library Applications and Resource Discovery"
(http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/interop-focus/activities/z3950/int_profile/bath/draf
t/), there has been a great deal of interest in the UK and elsewhere in this
Profile and its application.
This open meeting is intended as a forum to discuss the ongoing development
of the Profile and its implementation within the UK.
Registration
============
There is no charge for the meeting, but places are limited and will be

Who Should Attend?
================
The meeting is open to anyone with an interest in this area.
Specifically, it is intended to explore issues related to deploying the Bath
Profile for UK Higher Education's Distributed National Electronic Resource
(DNER), and is therefore relevant to all staff and projects likely to be
included within the DNER. We also aim to gauge the feasibility of having
vendor products adapted to the Profile, and would welcome representatives
from vendor companies to discuss this and other issues related to the
Profile.
Venue
=====
We are meeting at The Charity Centre, 24 Stephenson Way NW1 2DP, just off
North Gower St, close to London's Euston Station (see
http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?GridE=529407&GridN=182472&place=NW12DP
&db=pc).
The day will commence with coffee/ registration at 10:30, and we would aim
to be finished by 16:30 that afternoon. A buffet lunch will be served.
