NISO Committee AX on OpenURL standardization is seeking participants for a 
trial of the emerging OpenURL 1.0 standard. The official trial period will 
begin May 1, 2003 and end November 1, 2003.

Participants are sought from these three categories of OpenURL users:

- Data providers who are constructing OpenURLs from their metadata
- Vendors and providers of OpenURL resolver services
- Libraries providing end-user services based on OpenURL resolution

Trial participants will be asked to select a minimum level of conformance 
to the draft standard for trial use, to provide interoperability with other 
participants, and to share their findings with the NISO AX committee and 
others interested in OpenURL development. More information on the trial 
period is available at 
http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/PubComDocs/Announce/20030415-Announce-Trial.htm.

The trial period will make use of the San Antonio Profile, an OpenURL 
profile developed for the scholarly information community. The draft 
standard, in two parts, is available on the NISO AX website at 
http://library.caltech.edu/openurl/Public_Comments.htm. With this 
announcement, we are also releasing the implementation guidelines for the 
San Antonio Profile. The OpenURL registry (at http://openurl.info/registry) 
defines the minimum necessary transports, identifiers, and metadata formats 
to implement OpenURLs of this profile.

To become a participant, please subscribe to the OpenURL listserv (if you 
are not already a member) by sending an email message to 
majordomo at caltech.edu with the message "subscribe openurl" (without 
quotes). We ask each participant then to supply the following information 
in a posting to that list:

name of organization: type of organization (data provider/OpenURL resolver 
service/library) contact person: contact person's mailing address, email 
and phone number:

After a brief discussion period participants will be asked to estimate what 
level of conformance they will endeavor to provide during the trial period.

For Committee AX,
--Eric Van de Velde.
