Rick: I think it's really important to acknowledge what Sebastian said. We have a concrete example of a resource sharing network that we build that OCLC has effectively destroyed it by the lack of compliance with NSIP. They've sold WMS as a low cost alternative and then they undermine you because they won't work with anything else. I'm disgusted with with they do. When we talked to our non-profit lawyer he said we need a three year plan, a project coordinator, a tech team, and a business modelling team. I think ReShare already has those things. we probalby We probably need legal back up. I don't understand how OCLC can sue us if we just put our data somewhere else.
...
Rick: It's our data:
Lucy: some Some of it is their data. I don't think they would have much of a leg to stand on it they if OCLC didn't create the record or purchase it from a vendor.
Sebastian: The one place where they will go after people is with their identifier. That one thing that we all need it the unique identifier. The OCLC identifier is the one thing we need because it is manually maintained.
Lucy: It's pretty good, but we decided against using it for de-duplicating in Florida.
Kirsten: While we are talking about where the holdings will be held, having a co-located place where holdings are being held or at least the ability to run analytics across multiple holdings is pretty critical. Thats That's one of the things we see potentailly potentially lost. As Lucy said the identifier is not the be all and end all. There are other mechanisms to determine uniqueness. We at least need an analytics model that will be a unifier.
Sebastian: ReShare shared index is using the Gold Rush algorithm. If we can get to a place where we have a universal approach to how we establish identity, then there are all kinds of things we can do across services that are really exiting like getting a separate analytics platform that doesn't have to belong to the aggregation and holdings platform. It is still to be determined if that does what it needs to do and exactly what roles it needs to fulfill.
Lucy: It is like the SSN. It is supposed to be the identifier, but if I call my credit card company, they don't just rely on that. They ask me four or five other questions to determine if I am who I say I am. That's what really identifies me.
