Standardization in electronic document delivery: a practical example

Concentrates on the results of the European Commission funded Electronic Document Interchange between Libraries (EDIL) project. Includes details of the work of the Group on Electronic Interchange (GEDI) on which the project is based, together with a brief description of the partners in the project. The results of the project are that, although the technological solution worked well, there were several outstanding operational and market issues that require resolution before such a system can be used commercially. It will also be necessary to resolve the copyright issues surrounding electronic document delivery.
