• 15 April, 2007. Minutes. ICEDIS Meeting, UKSG (Warwick) UK. Draft
  proposal submitted to the International Committee on EDI for Serials by
  EBSCO and THINK subscriptions.
  Draft Proposal for CMS Activation Messages. (PowerPoint)
• 
  Summary (from Meeting Minutes): Dan Tonkery (EBSCO) introduced the
  joint project between EBSCO, THINK Subscription and Meta Press designed
  to test the concept of using an XML version of the ICEDIS message,
  exchanged between subscription agent, publisher and online host, to
  speed up activation of e-journal orders and renewals. He pointed out
  that more than 70% of EBSCO's business now included an electronic
  element and that there continued to be delays in activation leading to
  problems for users.
  
  Paul Russell of THINK Subscription presented their prototype
  web-service-based proposal (Powerpoint) in which the agent sends an XML
  version of the ICEDIS e-journal message either just to the publisher for
  onward transmission to the host, or to both publisher and host
  simultaneously, requiring a "go-ahead" message from the publisher to
  host. It was agreed that this would provide benefits all round and that
  the flexibility of the proposal would defuse any trust issues. Grace
  periods could be built into the system. There was agreement that the
  ICEDIS e-journal message should provide the basis of an ICEDIS standard
  XML message, but that THINK, EBSCO and Swets would liaise to ensure that
  all required data elements were present. It was agreed that the format
  should be carefully designed to ensure that this application would be
  entirely interoperable with XML versions of the full ICEDIS suite of
  messages.
