Conclusions

• Quality Search Engines should adopt Z39.50 or SRW
  and OpenURLs
• SRW is still under discussion owners of QSEs
  must join the discussion now
• Libraries must convince publishers and
  aggregators of the above issue in license
  negotations

Conclusions continued

• It must become possible that OpenURLs return
  context info.
• Information portals must make optimal use of the
  possibilities that will offered to them.
