COUNTER Release 5的新特征及其应用研究

Research on the New Features of COUNTER Release 5 and Its Implementation

COUNTER Release 5旨在应对不断变化的电子资源,提供可靠、一致和可对比的使用统计数据。文章分析了COUNTER Release 5的规范并探索其在中国高校图书馆数字资源采购联盟(DRAA)中的应用。研究发现,与COUNTER Release 4相比,Release 5有了明显的变化,包括定义了全新的报告体系、统计指标类型、RESTful SUSHI接口等技术细节。为在DRAA中应用COUNTER Release 5,需要从两个方面改进:一是让统计模块兼容COUNTER Release 5的数据模型,使COUNTER Release 5的统计数据可以融入现有的统计模型;二是需要新增RESTful SUSHI接口的客户端及文件解析器,让系统可以获取并解析到COUNTER Release 5的报告。

The COUNTER Code of Practice for Release 5 enables content providers to produce consistent,comparable and credible usage data for their online contents.This paper analyses the new features of COUNTER Release 5,its differences from COUNTER Release 4 and its application in DRAA.The research shows that COUNTER Release 5 is significantly different from COUNTER Release 4.It defines new reporting system,attributes and elements,RESTful SUSHI interface and other technical details.In order to promote the implementation of COUNTER Release 5 in DRAA,two aspects should be improved:one is to make the statistical module compatible with the data model of COUNTER R5,so that the usage statistics of COUNTER R5 can be integrated into the existing DRAA statistical module;the other is to add a SUSHI client and a file parser with a RESTful SUSHI interface to get and parse COUNTER R5 reports.
