ONIX for Publication Licenses: Adding Structure to Legalese Webinar

Once license terms for e-resources have been negotiated, they have to be communicated to both library staff and end users. ONIX for Publications Licenses (ONIX-PL), developed by EDItEUR, is an XML format that both publishers and libraries can use to add machine-readable structure to license terms. NISO and EDItEUR's joint ONIX-PL Working Group, created in 2008, is charged with the continued development of the ONIX-PL standard for license expression to ensure it is fit for use by all types of stakeholders. They are also doing outreach, such as this webinar, to educate the community about ONIX-PL.

Speakers for the webinar are:

* Rick Burke, Executive Director, SCELC - Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium

* Wilma Mossink, Juridisch Adviseur/Legal Adviser, SURF Foundation

* Mark Bide, Executive Director, EDItEUR

Registration is per site (access for one computer) and includes access to the online recorded archive of the webinar for one year. Can't make it on the webinar date?
