Re: Follow-up | OAEBU Platform/Service Use-Case Session

[Christina Drummond]

Hello Eric,

While the meeting itself wasn't recorded, notes and comments were captured in the virtual whiteboard so that anyone who missed the meeting can catch those comments upon reviewing the use case board.  If you have questions during your review, please note them directly on the board as described in my email below, or in the google doc version that will be shared in the near future.

Thanks,

Christina

sorry I missed this - I got sucked into a development issue. Was the meeting recorded?

Greetings All:

Thank you for taking the time to meet today to review the emerging list of activities and uses that your staff have for OA monograph usage data. 

There are three follow-up steps each of you can take: 

1. Review and contribute to the marketing and sales activities sections upon considering how such teams at your organization uses (or could use) OA book usage data. The link to the map is: https://join.groupmap.com/219-422-473
2. Add other ideas and comments that arise over the coming week
3. Be on the lookout for a google doc to be shared via our OAEBU Platform and Service group listserv in a few weeks. 

The strength of the resulting Publishing Platform and Service OAeBU Data Use-Cases document will reflect your time and contributions. On behalf of all of us working with OA metrics, thank you for giving this your attention so that we can consider the publishing platform and services uses of OA monograph usage data alongside the needs of other stakeholders. 

I also want to clarify one point of discussion from today's call. If definitions as listed are ambiguous, loaded, complex terms (which many are), in this exercise our goal is to understand whether the activity that relies on usage data would change based on different, more-specific definitions. For example, if your IT team manages chapter-level data with a process that is different from the process for book-level data, it would be ideal to describe both.  Such detail about how the processes function will help us to flush out the intricacies caused by differing definitions.

Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you'd like to discuss any of the above.

Best regards, 

Christina

Dear Lorraine,

Thank you for annotating the virtual white board and for adding this detail here.  In addition to the creation and maintenance of such a standard, I also added activities to the board relating to 1) the application of this standard and 2) migrating systems from one standard version to the next. 

Best regards,

Christina

Dear Christina

 

Many apologies for having to leave the very interesting discussion so early.

 

In terms of the COUNTER Code of Practice, we use Attributes to define the types of content being used.

Data_Type: for books, this ‘Book’

• Section_Type: This attribute is used when content is delivered in “chunks” (sections) this describes what that section is. The Section_Types are:
• Article
• Book
• Chapter
• Other
• Section

 

So, usage of a book which is delivered as a single PDF would be reported as:

Data_Type = Book, Section_Type = Book

 

Usage of a chapter would be reported as:

Data_Type = Book, Section_Type = Chapter

 

Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NFG76TLczg for more information.

 

Kind regards

Lorraine
