What Arrow is How it works Demo Some hidden elements
How “matching and clustering” works Integration with other existing systems Fostering standard deployment

Some real use cases emerging (finally!) Why Arrow Plus?

What Arrow is
Arrow is a distributed system for facilitating rights information management in any digitisation programme, scalable to further applications
A distributed system: a network of databases made interoperable through use of standards
Rights information management: conceived as a separate function from (though linked to) “rights management” (the RII = Rights Information Infrastructure)
Any digitisation programme: Arrow is conceived to be neutral to legal frameworks and business models
Future applications: Rights information may be crucial in new digital markets

And what about orphan works?
Orphan works are definable at the end of a search process
We provide an environment and tools to facilitate the search
At the end we may have some unsuccessful searches: these works are “candidate orphans”
It is up to stakeholders, within a given legal framework, to decide whether a work is orphan or additional searches are required This is an application of our “neutrality principle”

The Arrow Registry of Orphan Works (ROW)
All the information about works collected along the workflow are stored in the Arrow Work Registry (AWR) This is for internal functionalities only
When Arrow is not able to provide rights information about a work, the data about that work are visible through the ROW This includes work data and clustering information
These are not Orphans in proper sense Someone else should establish whether our search is
sufficient to declare the orphan status Neutrality again:
Centralised or distributed administrations of the ROW are enabled
It will depend on the stakeholders / legal decisions

How we are working
Arrow is an neutral and flexible “ready to use” infrastructure
To serve a particular agreement some customisation are required through setting the parameters of the system according to the terms of the agreements
Examples: Arrow already manages dates: when a cut off date is defined, it
is just a matter to give the right value to the existing algorithm The publication date can be managed at manifestation or at
work level: any combination is supported e.g.: A book published in 1960 that had a new edition in 2007 can be
treated differently than a book published in the same date with the last edition in 1999
The availability status can be defined with any territorial extend e.g. for France we’ll consider also availability in Belgium and Switzerland,
likely in Quebec

The value of Arrow for use cases /1
In bulk data processing accuracy depends on: Effectiveness in matching and clustering
Analysis on the Google Settlement database demonstrated it very clearly
Mapping and interoperability between data sources (in particular between library and commercial databases)
A European dimension and neutrality also on this respect E.g.: when a library in country A wants to clear rights on
a book published in country B, there are two alternatives The library receives the license from the national CMO who has a
bilateral agreement with the CMO in country B The library receives the license directly from the RRO in country B
Having separated the phase of dealing information with right clearance, Arrow supports both solutions
10 www.arrow-net.eu
The value of Arrow for use cases /2
In managing the claiming process (for opting out or for claim the share of remuneration) there are the same matching and clustering issues
if a publisher submit an ONIX file with all his/her titles, every record should be matched with original library record that describes the book candidate to be scanned, and with all the other records containing the same work
Once the process is completed the RRO can easily perform a notification to all the rightholders registered in its database, after the disambiguation we provide for works and “rightholder names”
This maximises the number of rightholders notified, and thus minimises the cost due to scanning books that later rightholders ask to remove
The Arrow Work Registry can be used to publicise scanning project in very flexible way
It is not simply a Registry of Orphan Works: it starts from the analysis of books that libraries ask to digitise, not from an abstract identification of orphan works, which is of scarce value
11 www.arrow-net.eu
Why Arrow Plus?
The current model works for countries where the book data infrastructure is quite advanced: The national library catalogue should be in TEL Books in print database exists Reliable RRO database exists
How to move towards countries where one or more of these elements lack?
The obvious answer We need to create or to improve the national data
infrastructure Always starting from existing data sources (e.g. an Internet
bookshop, a wholesaler…), but creating something more sophisticated for the future
The project will support the start up of BiPs and RROs databases in several European countries

Arrow Plus - Objectives
Enhancing the Arrow system, to make it more effective in meeting existing and emerging user needs in a larger number of countries
Co-ordinating the involvement of a number of additional European countries, starting from an analysis of existing data sources, as defined in the current Arrow project, and defining optimal strategies to enrich these resources
Implementing the Arrow business model developed under the current Arrow project, to put a long term sustainable service in place
Examining how Arrow can be used in relation to visual material when this is included in books that are to be digitised and made available
13 www.arrow-net.eu
Countries involved in Arrow Plus
Germany, Spain Continuity with current pilot and enrichment of the
system The French working group anticipated that they wish
to continue using Arrow as “client”, though not member of the new project consortium
Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands Countries with quite sophisticated book data
infrastructure Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, Portugal Countries that require major new developments

Arrow Plus – Work Package 3 (FEP)
Objectives To co-ordinate the deployment of the Arrow system in
new countries, ensuring full participation of national stakeholders and maintaining interoperability across borders
To analyse the user needs in countries involved, in order to identify requirements and the ad hoc development pattern to join the Arrow system
To take care of the relations between the national specification and technical development in WP4
To provide timely and regular information about the project evolution to all partners
16 www.arrow-net.eu
Arrow Plus – Work Package 3 (FEP)
Description of work Each national reference partner to analyse – involving
national stakeholders, under the coordination of WP leader – the existing databases and alternative resources to use in the Arrow workflow (T3.1) , and define users requirements for specific solutions
Interact with system designers (in WP4 and WP5) and technical developers to ensure correct implementation of solutions (T3.2)
During the validation phase, with the use of the system, the national working groups will ensure that the data resulting from the use of the system correctly populates the local Arrow resources
At national level, sustainability plans will be prepared (T3.3) to identify business models for maintenance of the services created during the project after the end of it. This will be coordinated in particular with WP5
