EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for Libraries, Publishers, and Agents: The Reality Show—SUSHI, ONIX and ?
Tina Feick, Donna Packer · The Serials Librarian · 2008
This presentation described the history and ongoing development of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for libraries, agents, and publishers. The focus was on the newer international initiatives and developments, such as SUSHI (Standard Usage Statistical Harvesting Initiative), which can supply data directly to library Electronic Resource Management (ERM) systems. While the full promise of accurate machine-to-machine interchanges, which can enter data into our respective systems within seconds, is yet to be achieved, there is much work under way to develop and improve EDI protocols and standards.
