Products & Services in the portfolio l Growth rates 1995 -98 l 3 to 14 people l 5 -fold financial investment increase l no. products - increase 33 -87% per year l accesses per year: 0. 25 M - c. 7 M l Decision-making l much tighter l re-charged costs l outsourcing - x 2/3/4 more
Product types l Experimental l Maintenance/upgrade l Freely available l Paid for l Subcontracted work l Internal
The Big Picture l All products from 1. 1. 96 to start 99 l 28% Freely available l 27% Maintenance/Upgrades l 17% Internal Services l 14% Sub-contracted work l 13% Paid for l 1% Experimental l Will have launched 95 products in less than 4 years
3 phases of STM Publishing l 1 st: digitised or electro-copies l 2 nd: alter to include digital capabilities l 3 rd: linking and context
Different Approaches l Critical mass is vital: the TOTAL DATABASE solution l Intermediaries & one-stop-shops: the GATEWAY solution l The GATEWAY-COMMUNITY solution l DISTRIBUTED PUBLISHING: ensure that any visitor to any site can easily reach all important knowledge pointers
Benefits for Researchers l Guarantee of quality l Follow another’s thought processes l Forward and backward reference trails l Huge savings in time & effort l No need to keep great lists of bookmarks l Monopolies less likely
Examples of Distributed Publishing l Io. PP’s Hyper. Cite - www. iop. org l APS’s Link Manager - www. aps. org l ADS - adswww. harvard. edu l Chemport - www. chemport. org
“Rules” of Distributed Publishing l Participants establish no technology barriers l Participants share standards & protocols l Make no charge for sending visitors to another site l Participants each retain responsibility for all business aspects of the enterprise, within their own site l Participants agree minimum service levels for all users
Horizontal and Vertical extensions l Horizontal - more content providers buy in to concept l Vertical - STACKS l STACKS - pushed or pulled top-level data with embedded URLs/similar
STACKS l Journals tables of contents l Push/pull by email/ftp/web l Select titles, frequency, data content, formats (CSV, SGML), extent (of backfile) l Auto delivery l Embed in one’s systems l Save time & money in data entry, cataloging, linking, indexing l User goes straight to article of choice
Conclusion l Distributed Publishing: l has longevity l does not impinge on business l does not need changes in ownership l is non-threatening to competitors l very useful l advances science & education
