+Subject: IRSpy acceptance
+Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2007 09:10:32 +0300
+
+Hello all,
+
+The National Library of Finland accepts the IRSpy application, following
+the successful beta testing of the software in the library.
+
+Our billing address is
+
+Helsingin yliopisto
+Kansalliskirjasto / Kirjastoverkkopalvelut
+PL 7138
+01051 LASKUT
+
+Please mention responsibility area code (in Finnish, vastuualuekoodi)
+98123.
+
+I-D is most welcome to announce availability of this application to the
+general public. Please mention in the announcement that the development
+effort was a cooperative project between I-D and the national library of
+Finland. Since I will start vacation next Monday I will not be able to
+review the text unless it is sent tomorrow.
+
+IRSpy is the first implementation of the NISO draft standard
+Z39.92-200X. As such it makes it possible to complete the
+standardization process. My intention as the chair of the NISO working
+group developing the standard is to publish the second draft of it in
+August. As far as I know, development of IRSpy did not reveal any
+problems in the present draft, so the second one can be published
+unaltered.
+
+We will discuss with Ex Libris Group and WebClarity Software Inc. about
+incorporation of IRSpy into, respectively, MetaLib and BookWhere. The
+national library has no intention to host IRSpy ourselves in the short
+run, and we will never try to run a global site, mainly due to
+considerable systems expert time that would require. Moreover, the
+present IRSpy database which is apparently inherited from your previous
+ZSpy software) is out of date - many databases no longer are available
+in the same address where they were located a few years back - and would
+require a thorough manual revision.
+
+A decentralized network of national/regional IRSpy installations, each
+concentrating on its geographical area, is the only truly feasible model
+for hosting the tool (this does not rule out the possibility of
+harvesting the Z39.92 data into a physical union catalogue). One issue
+we will most likely discuss in the Autumn here in the national library
+is whether maintenance of a national database of Information retrieval
+service descriptions using Z39.92 (and IRSpy) will fit within the
+national bibliographic responsibilities of the national library. As far
+as I am concerned, it is more important to describe how for instance the
+national bibliography database can be used for search and retrieval (and
+to share this data with other libraries) than catalogue manually some
+obscure grey Web literature. Google can do the latter more efficiently
+than we, but Google can not and will not be able to deal efficiently
+with (a large number of) databases. Due to Z39.92 and IRSpy the national
+libraries will have an option to discuss how to deal with databases
+within the national bibliographic context. Without a standard to steer
+creation and exchange of IR service descriptions and an efficient tool
+for creating those descriptions trying to extend national bibliographic
+activities to "deep Web" would not have been possible. With the web
+archives were are already dealing with the uppermost level of the Web,
+and with Z39.92 and IRSpy we have a chance to gain access to the rest of
+it.
+
+Best regards,
+

+Excellent news!
+
+You get that invoice out; I will split my time between DBC's Keystone
+Resolver Admin UI work and the Australian Z39.50-to-SRU gateway
+(unless you'd prefer to me concentrate on one of them to the exclusion
