progress on distributed NAAN registry curation

  • duty roster, primary plus backup, phase 1 intellectual assessment
  • online form, Bertrand Caron (BnF) as first curator

The working group has really taken an active role in this area, taking ownership of the process and collaborating among themselves to discuss issues and come to agreement/resolution where necessary.  The work to allow members to complete the technical process of assigning NAANs is ongoing and expected to be completed soon.


funding proposals

  • Sloan letter of inquiry
  • LYRASIS catalyst fund "idea" and project proposals

(MP) Learning curve for Sloan process and delays in getting information back from them; now submitted and waiting for several weeks for a response.  Next step is to follow same approach with Mellon.

(KE)  Catalyst Fund Idea proposal was for Lyrasis to add an ARK service to their existing identifier portfolio, which currently includes ORCID & DOIs.  This service could serve both existing Lyrasis members/services (hosted Islandora, DSpace, ArchiveIT, etc) and attract new members interested in using ARKs.

(JK)  Catalyst Fund Project proposal is partnership between CDL & Internet Archive to assign more identifiers to content being captured there.  This work has already started and will happen regardless of the results of the project proposal.
