| Activity | Progress Report | Goal Date |
| OSU Press | Met Malcolm Litchfield (ml@osupress.org) on September 17, 2007; links they will provide go either 1) to advertising copy with a link to full or partial texts (pdf files) [1] or 2) to pdf files themselves containing no obvious link to the OSU press [2]. | November 30, 2007 |
| OCLC | Met with Lorcan Dempsey (dempseyl@oclc.org) and Constance Malpas (malpasc@oclc.org). WorldCat will soon have an API but will also give us RDF if we send them transform from MARC to RDF. | November 29, 2007 |
| OAISter and Wright | John Walsh, Dave Woods, and I are working on this. I found this (http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/OAI-PMH_RDFizer) and am looking at two versions of the transformed data to decide what to do. Will send John the XSL plus the data shortly. | January 26, 2008 |
| David Hanson, 19th-c Studies / Ruskin Project | David (David Hanson [dhanson@selu.edu]) and I spoke on the phone (he is Chair at SouthEastern Louisiana U., 985-549-2100). He has students coding in TEI P5 (trained with Syd and Julia) who will begin with the most recent issue. I explained to him how to submit rdf either pointing to or containing text files and offered to help with XSLT. He is working with someone who can write XSLT scripts. We will stay in touch through the proces. | January 26, 2008 |

| Activity | Progress Report | Goal Date |
| Byron Journal | Made initital contact with Alan Rawes; will talk in Venice. I believe Jerry has now taken this up via Liverpool U.P. | 2007 |
| Research Society for Victorian Periodicals | Spoke about NINES at the 'digital futures' session. Now in conversation with Kitty Ledbetter regarding the including of /Victorian Periodicals Review/, which is part of MUSE in any case. | September 2007 |
| Studies in Romanticism | Planning to discuss NINES with editor David Wagenknecht | 2007 |
| Houghton Library, Harvard | Trying to schedule a meeting with Peter and a technical demo for Houghton people. | September 2007 |

| Google Books @ Michigan | Spoke with Perry Willet on June 28. According to Perry, the metadata for the Google Books available from the University of Michigan will be available from an OAI data provider system. He will be checking with the powers that be about whether they are allowed to provide us access to the full text of these books for indexing. In any event, the OAI metadata is free for the taking, and it seems imperative that we establish mechanisms for including collections that are exposed with OAI. I will be happy to assist with this process. | August 15th, have some initial books in, pending Michigan getting OAI system up and running. |
| Making of America | Perry indicated that the providing RDF for Making of America was not something he could commit to right now. But again, OAI metadata for Making of America is available, if we can work with that. | August 1, 2007, have some initial MoA resoures in NINES |
| Lilly Library | I have contacted Pat Steele, Interim Dean of the Libaries at Indiana. We have a meeting scheduled for July 23rd, at which I will make the pitch for NINES and for incorporating Lilly Library MARC records as we've done with the UVA special collections. | August 15, 2007, pending agreement of IU Libraries. |
| Wright American Fiction | This project has been converted from SGML to XML, a pre-requisite for writing XSLT to generate the RDF files. I will work with the Digital Library Program here to do the mapping from teiHeader to NINES RDF. | August 1, 2007 |
| OAI Collections | Work to develop mechanism for mapping OAI metadata to NINES RDF. Experiment with developing mechanism for incorporating OAI exposed collections into NINES. | September 30, 2007 |
| Collex in the classroom | Will use Collex in my digital humanities seminar in the spring semester. | spring semester, 2008. |
