I'm trying to make sure that my FOS Timeline <http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/timeline.htm> includes the landmark institutional eprint archives: those that are very early, very influential or both. For example, were there any notable institutional eprint archives prior to the 1999 launch of OAI? And after the OAI launch, which were the early adopters?

I'm fairly confident that I have the landmark disciplinary archives, but I suspect there are some important institutional archives not yet on my list.

If you can help me with the names of important archives, their URLs, or their launch dates, I'd appreciate it. I can look up the details that you might not have.

Of course I'd also welcome suggestions for other landmark events missing from the timeline.

Thanks,

With kind regards, Sandra Fauconnier V2_Organisation ------- Copy the Rights! Seminar Wednesday, 26 February, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Calypso, Mauritsweg 5, Rotterdam Copy the Rights! is organized by V2_Organisation, Institute for the Unstable Media, in cooperation with Vereniging Digitaal Erfgoed Nederland, Dutch Filmmuseum, the Virtual Platform and the Netherlands Media Art Institute. Copy the Rights is part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival: DEAF03 Data Knitting. 25 February - 9 March 2003 in Rotterdam More information at DEAF03 On line: http://deaf.v2.nl At DEAF03 On line it will be possible to follow the seminar via live stream and to participate online in several activities. Admission: 25,- EUR / 20,- EUR You may register for the seminar by sending an e-mail to tickets@v2.nl, via the festival website http://deaf.v2.nl or by phone: +31 (0)10 7501515. Copy the Rights! is a seminar about copyright. It will address various copyright aspects of digitizing and opening up archive collections or databases (on line), as well as the issue of copyright in a changing art practice: unstable art projects that center around recycling and copying material often arise out of collaborative efforts where the classic notion of authorship no longer applies. In a number of hands-on presentations some examples of 'good practice' will be demonstrated. Artists from both the Netherlands and abroad will present their activities to the audience. Copy the Rights! has invited a number of prominent foreign speakers to inspire the debate on alternative copyright models -- copyleft, open source, open content, open access -- and whether these may fit within the Dutch context. Moderator: Paul Rutten, head of the Information and Communication unit of TNO STB (NL). 11 a.m.: Introduction and presentation of international initiatives - Darius Cuplinskas, Soros Foundation (H): Budapest Open Access Initiative The Budapest Open Access Initiative, an initiative of the Soros Foundation in Hungary, is an international declaration promoting free access to scientific publications. - Andy Powell, UKOLN (UK): Open Archives Initiative The Open Archives Initiative has initiated an open protocol that addresses the need for the free exchange of scientific publications, allowing research databases to exchange information. - Wendy Seltzer, Berkman Center, Electronic Frontier Foundation (USA): Creative Commons and OpenLaw Creative Commons is an important on-line initiative that enables authors and creators to generate 'custom made' licenses for text, music, video and images. - Jon Ippolito, Guggenheim NY and University of Maine (USA): Open Art Network and Variable Media Network The Open Art Network offers a range of recommendations -- aimed especially at media and internet artists -- for making artworks more or even freely accessible. The Variable Media Network, a preservation project for media art, has shown that there is a direct relationship between the strictness of copyright and the difficulty of long-term preservation. 2 p.m.: Lunch and hands-on presentations - Kingdom of Piracy : illegal copying as an art project - Dutch Archive for Graphic Designers (NAGO): copyright for online poster collections - Netherlands Media Art Institute: the streaming media project Playing Field - Joost Smiers (NL): copyright and the Third World - Vereniging Digitaal Erfgoed Nederland: the use of the Open Archives Initiative for Dutch cultural heritage projects - Dutch lawyers in dialogue with the speakers - Dutch policymakers answer questions from the audience - V2_: presentation of findings from the research project on copyright initiated by V2_ and the Virtual Platform 4 p.m.: Panel discussion 5 p.m.: End Links Budapest Open Access Initiative: http://www.soros.org/openaccess/ Open Archives Initiative: http://www.openarchives.org/ Creative Commons: http://www.creativecommons.org/ OpenLaw: http://www.openlaw.org/ About the Open Art Network: http://www.artnewsonline.com/currentarticle.cfm?type=feature&art_id=1226 Variable Media Initiative: http://www.guggenheim.org/variablemedia/ Kingdom of Piracy: http://residence.aec.at/kop/ Joost Smiers: http://www.constantvzw.com/copy.cult/cjs0.html Vereniging Digitaal Erfgoed Nederland: http://www.den.nl/ Dutch Filmmuseum: http://www.filmmuseum.nl/ Virtual Platform: http://www.virtueelplatform.nl/ Netherlands Media Art Institute: http://www.montevideo.nl/ In 2002 V2_, in collaboration with the Virtual Platform and representatives of cultural institutes in the Netherlands, has initiated a research project on copyright. The project made an inventory of copyright issues surrounding the creation, storage, opening up and marketing of digital information by cultural institutes, did research into alternatives for copyrights and initiated a trial project to back up the research. The results of the various workgroups will lead to a policy document that will be sent to the departments concerned and interested parties. The seminar Copy the Rights! is part of this research project and is sponsored by the Mondrian Foundation. -- Sandra "Fokky" Fauconnier V2_Organisation - Archive Eendrachtsstraat 10, 3012 XL Rotterdam, The Netherlands url: www.v2.nl e: fokky@v2.nl t: +31 10 7501525 (new!) f: +31 10 2067271 From PCAlibrarian@comcast.net Tue Jan 28 21:29:23 2003 From: PCAlibrarian@comcast.net (Tami Fontaine) Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 16:29:23 -0500 Subject: [OAI-general] (no subject) Message-ID: <002801c2c714$54093c80$7a662b44@FamilyComputer> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_L2qODcJZCWqW4Qg5l9XRRw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT unsubscribe --Boundary_(ID_L2qODcJZCWqW4Qg5l9XRRw) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
