-Hello to everyone on my Index Data news distribution list. I hope
-this note finds you all engaged and feeling well. I am pleased to be
-able to report, with the following announcement, that Index Data is
-advancing the standardization of metasearching in a way that we are
-confident will result in significant cost savings for the library community.

-INDEX DATA DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT SUPPORTS NISO METASEARCH INITIATIVE
-
-April 5, 2006 - West Hartford, CT - Index Data, the premier developer
-of Open Source information retrieval software for libraries and their
-vendors, has just signed a contract with Helsinki University Library,
-The National Library of Finland, to develop an information retrieval
-target monitoring and analysis tool. This software, which is being
-released under the name Keystone Target Manager, will be designed to
-meet the specifications of the NISO draft standard Z39.92:
-Information Retrieval Service Description, which is based on an
-earlier community standard called ZeeRex.
-
-The Keystone Target Manager will perform the following services:
- * Automatically monitor a collection of Z39.50/SRW/SRU targets,
-maintaining statistics for availability over time.
- * Provide configurable alerting services when targets become unavailable.
- * Automatically gather information about the search capabilities
-of targets that use standard search protocols, such as
-Z39.50/SRW/SRU, for use in configuring IR clients of different types.
- * Make the gathered information available in a software-readable
-form, as a database of ZeeRex (ANSI/NISO Z39.92) records. (This will
-enable sharing of this information via the Internet.)
-Juha Hakala, Director of Information Technology at Helsinki
-University Library and Chair of the NISO Committee which developed
-the NISO Z39.92 draft standard, points out that "up to now
-information about Z39.50 or SRU/SRW targets has usually been
-discovered and documented manually, which is a laborious and time
-consuming process. Also, there has been no efficient means of
-exchanging this data among metasearch applications such as portals.
-While NISO Z39.92, solves the latter problem, the Keystone Target
-Manager will simplify the process of creating accurate target
-descriptions and keeping them up-to-date."
-
-"Given the expertise Index Data has in implementing Z39.50 and
-SRU/SRW applications," Hakala continued, "I am confident that the
-service descriptions generated by the Target Manager will be useful.
-It will be interesting to see how quickly the IR portal vendors and
-maintenance agencies such as libraries will adopt this target
-management tool, and start sharing on a global scale the target
-descriptions harvested with it."
-
-Pat Stevens, the Interim Executive Director of NISO, was delighted to
-learn about this agreement: "NISO thanks Helsinki University and
-Index Data for their collaborative work on this project," she stated.
-"It comes at just the right time as organizations are now looking for
-an effective way to implement Z39.92."
-
-The Keystone Target Manager will be a major step forward in
-standardizing and reducing the costs of maintaining target gateways
-for metasearch services. Content providers that support standardized
-search interfaces, and federated search services that take advantage
-of this soon-to-be-released Open Source/Open Access target management
-service, will together be able to reduce the cost of providing
-federated search services to libraries. If these lower costs are
-passed on to libraries in the form of reduced gateway maintenance
-fees, libraries will be able to shift costs from access mechanisms to
-licensing content.

-About Index Data
-
-Index Data has been developing standards-based information retrieval
-technology since 1994. Library software vendors as varied as Ex
-Libris, Fretwell-Downing, Geac, ISACSOFT, Koha and Polaris use Index
-Data's technology in the software they provide to libraries. And
-libraries around the world, including the Library of Congress and
-many other national libraries, use the company's technology and
-services to meet demanding and sophisticated information retrieval
-challenges. The company's metasearch service, Keystone Retriever, is
-among the most advanced in the industry and is distributed under an
-Open Source license.
