SPEIR
  • .developing the Scottish Co-operative
    Infrastructure
  • Dennis Nicholson, Director, CDLR

What is SPEIR?
  • Some answers
  • Scottish Portals for Education, Information, and
    research
  • Scots for to ask or to enquire
  • A SLIC-funded CoSMiC initiative backed by key
    players in Scotland (including some from FE)
  • An inclusive, holistic, safe path for everyone
    interested in developing an effective Scottish,
    globally-interoperable, information environment
  • A rope? A snake? A tree?
  • Still hazy after all these years
  • Scottish Cooperative Infrastructure

Co-operative Infrastructure
Various user nodes
SCONE collections database with staff CCM
tools/ landscape control --- Future
SCAN integration?
CAIRNS cross searchable catalogue with
landscaping mechanism driven by collections datab
ase
COSMIC co-ordinates
Our Portal
various activities including
Other Portals
Metadata Issues Items, Collections
Joint RD Plan
So we can all join in
CORC
CCCG

SPEIR bits
  • Build on CAIRNS, SCONE, SCAMP, dynamic
    landscaping, BUBL LINK, SLAINTE and BUBL
  • Bring in Public Libraries, FE, Cultural Players
  • Central support services for distributed portals
    particularly Scottish Cultural Portal but aim
    is generic support (GDL, NLS also one key here)
  • Dynamic landscaping of various kinds e.g. for
    different users, different badging (LINK and BUBL
    and SLAINTE and GDL)
  • Collaborative cataloguing through Connexion
  • Collaborative collecting through SCAMP
  • GDL, BUBL LINK, BUBL-SLAINTE

5
SPEIR bits
  • Terminology requirements for Public libraries
  • Terminologies pilot requirements
  • CoSMiC dimensions (groups)
  • Interoperability Focus for Scotland
  • Integration with services such as SCRAN
  • Identification of digital and non-digital
    collections relevant to the CP and SCONE
  • LOOK, and CERL (Consortium of European Research
    Libraries)
  • A project that will turn the current Scottish
    Co-operative Infrastructure into a more developed
    and more effective form

Why?
  • Users increasingly use/need distributed
    resources, finding tools so co-operation now
    essential as well as desirable
  • Distributed networked collections need
    collaborative management
  • Coherent distributed virtual libraries wont
    just happen we must co-operate to manage
    retrieval/user environments
  • Users/organisations need own portals
  • People interoperability a pre-requisite of
    technical and metadata interoperability

10
Why?
  • Only a holistic approach will work
  • We increasingly inhabit the distributed networked
    environment, so do our users
  • Need to change working perspectives, to Think
    globally before acting locally.
  • Institutional and other boundaries are becoming a
    barrier to providing what users need
  • It matters EIR portals have a role in social
    inclusion and cohesion
  • Only an inclusive approach can work (a) Users
    (b) Players

11
Why?
  • One Vision, infinite views
  • For Scotland
  • The Scottish Global Village
  • Small but beautifully formed
  • Put your own house in order before you invite the
    world
  • For A Jock Tamsons bairns
