Extractions: (The following essay is included on this Web site with permission from Educom.) ABSTRACT: The coalition intends to promote the creation of and access to information resources in networked environments in order to enrich scholarship and to enhance intellectual productivity. The Coalition for Networked Information Steering Committee began its second year by adopting priorities that reflect the growing partnership between information technologists and librarians. On July 1, 1991, the Coalition for Networked Information, a joint project of EDUCOM, CAUSE, and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), entered its second year with an ambitious agenda. The coalition intends to promote the creation of and access to information resources in networked environments in order to enrich scholarship and to enhance intellectual productivity. The Coalition Steering Committee, composed of three representatives each from EDUCOM, CAUSE, and ARL, sets policies that guide the Coalition Task Force and the overall coalition program and also ensure that the interests of all the parent associations are represented. The coalition fiscal (July 1991- June 1992) priorities, listed below, are categorized by program theme and identify both broad issues and specific programs.

Mission Statement The mission of the Coalition for Networked Information is to promote the creation of and access to information resources in networked environments in order to enrich scholarship and to enhance intellectual productivity. The Coalition pursues its mission by seeking to realize the information distribution and access potential of existing and proposed high performance computers and networks that support the research and educational activities of a wide variety of institutions and organizations. The Coalition accomplishes this realization by undertaking activities, on its own and in partnership with others, that formulate, promulgate, evaluate, and promote policies and protocols that enable powerful, flexible, and universal access to networked information resources. The Coalition directs the combined intellectual, technological, professional, and financial resources of its members to a shared vision of how the nature of information management is changing and will continue to change through the end of the 20th Century and into the beginning of the 21st. Goals and Objectives To inspire, by promulgating vision statements that (a) project the future characteristics and capabilities of high performance computers and advanced networks, and (b) analyze those characteristics and capabilities in terms of their likely impacts, both positive and negative, on research and educational communication. To inform, by identifying, endorsing, supporting, and coordinating projects that (a) are collaborative, (b) seek to advance the understanding of or the state-of-the-art relative to the vision statements, (c) recognize the need for open architectures and standards, and (d) fully disclose their objectives, methods, and findings. To influence, by advocating principles, guidelines, and positions that address the behavioral, social, cultural, and economic processes and structures that both enable and constrain the use of high performance computers and advanced networks as infrastructures for research and educational communication. To synergize, by providing opportunities for senior administrators of libraries and senior administrators of information technologies in higher education institutions to work with comparable administrators from other institutions and organizations in a common enterprise to shape a shared future. Organizational Strategy The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), CAUSE, and EDUCOM comprise the Coalition which functions as an activity of ARL that takes direction from CAUSE and EDUCOM through their chief executives. The Coalition carries out its work through a Task Force of institutions and organizations that pay its assessed dues, actively engage in its program of work, and are governed by its leadership. The Coalition Task Force is composed of the senior administrator of libraries and the senior administrator of information technologies of higher education member institutions and comparable leaders and officers from other member institutions and organizations. The positions assumed and activities undertaken by the Coalition and its Task Force are coordinated by a nine person Steering Committee appointed by the chief executives of ARL, CAUSE, and EDUCOM with each executive naming three members. The Steering Committee charges and forms Working Groups to focus the attention of the Task Force in general areas or on specific tasks in which collaborative thought, planning, and action are necessary to pursue the mission of the Coalition or to achieve one or more of its goals and objectives. The Task Force meets for two days and an evening each March in order to establish the general terms of reference for its program and budget and for two days and an evening each November to advance progress on specific tasks and to update information on specific projects.

Extractions: ARL / CAUSE / EDUCOM Coalition for Networked Information CALL FOR INPUT: COALITION NIDR INITIATIVE INTRODUCTION On October 1, 1994, the Coalition for Networked Information launched a new research initiative to explore architectures and standards for advancing networked information discovery and retrieval (NIDR) in highly distributed heterogeneous environments. Avra Michelson of The MITRE Corporation will be available full time during the next year to work on this project in conjunction with Clifford Lynch, University of California Office of the President and Craig Summerhill, Systems Coordinator at the Coalition. Cecilia Preston will serve as the project's research associate. The team will author a white paper on NIDR technologies and their relationship to existing and future networked data architectures, standards, and structures. BASIC APPROACH Among the reasons the Coalition envisions a need for this paper are: o to explore the suitability of existing networked information discovery and retrieval methods for handling large digital libraries, o to provide a cross-domain examination of the technical and information management issues involved in the development of robust information retrieval systems that are designed to handle large volumes of production digital data, o to develop a research (and hopefully development) agenda that can be used to advance NIDR work, and o to strengthen the theoretical foundations that currently inform standards and tools development. The white paper will focus on technical as opposed to policy issues. The scope will be limited to exploring problems associated with identifying, selecting, and retrieving resources and objects in a large distributed network. These problems include classic information retrieval issues, as well as new sets of issues related to performance management and retrieval in the distributed environment, the support of complex multimedia objects, large data archives, in addition to those posed by traditional text-based information resources. Metadata, loosely defined as "information about information" is one of the basic unifying concepts and tools that can be used for improving networked information retrieval. One of the goals for the white paper will be to establish a theoretical framework for considering the relationship between metadata structures and content, the organization of network objects, and NIDR within a distributed environment. The authors will consider these issues from the Internet perspective assuming that resources are available both for free and fee and can be both public and access-controlled. A CALL FOR INPUT The Coalition anticipates that an initial draft of the paper will be released for public comment in April 1995. Prior to that time the authors seek suggestions from the Coalition membership and the larger network community on sources, projects, and scholarship related to the scope of this research initiative. Comments and suggestions may be submitted to the entire project team via e-mail using a mail reflector designed especially for the public- input portion of the project.

Extractions: Paul Evan Peters November 18, 1996 The OCLC Office of Research lost a good friend in November 1996, with the death of Paul Evan Peters, 48, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information. He became involved with the Office of Research in early 1996 when we decided to hold the CNI/OCLC Metadata Workshop September 24-25, 1996, at OCLC. While working with Paul on this workshop, we grew to know a man whose breadth of vision for the future of networked resources excited us. He will be missed. We are very saddened to report the death of Paul Evan Peters, 48, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information. He died suddenly on November 18, 1996 while he walked on a beach with his wife while on a trip to Florida. Paul was the founding director of the Coalition for Networked Information and served as its head since March, 1990. Highly respected in the library, information technology, and scholarly communities, he sought common ground for many constituencies in order to develop global networked information resources. A true imagineer, his vision and his ability to pull people together to build new realities were unique. Paul led CNI through two cycles of formal evaluations by the sponsoring organizations and as recently as September saw it move from the status of a sunset enterprise to one of an ongoing nature, recognizing the achievement of its essential role in the North American dialogue to advance scholarship and intellectual productivity.

Extractions: Open Archives Initiative Appoints Steering Committee Washington, D.C.—The Open Archives Initiative (OAi) has established a steering committee to guide its development and promote its adoption as an enabling framework for the development of innovative networked information services. In addition, the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) have agreed jointly to supply some organized support and resources for the ongoing OAi effort. Santa Fe convention ," along with preliminary ideas about acceptable use policies, registries, and other issues. A subsequent workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM Digital Libraries meeting in San Antonio in June 2000, reviewed experiences in implementing the Santa Fe convention and mapped out issues that needed to be addressed. Out of that meeting came a consensus that the Santa Fe convention will be revised and updated with the intent of producing a new version of the document by January 2001. The newly established steering committee will oversee these efforts and will assemble technical experts as required. In addition, there is considerable interest in extending the concepts developed at the Santa Fe convention beyond their initial context in order to support metadata harvesting for a wider range of digital resources of academic and scholarly interest. Besides e-prints and electronic texts, such resources include science and social science data sets, visual materials, archival collections, geographic information system data, sound and music, and video. This work is being pursued under the auspices of the DLF, with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Unlike the project involving the e-print archives, this effort is still highly experimental and requires validation through implementation experience. The steering committee will also help to guide the integration of this effort into the further evolution of the Santa Fe convention.
