This document discusses TILE's meeting in London on June 18th. It summarizes several "pain points" or issues in the library domain, and potential solutions that have been implemented or could be explored. These include borrowing suggestions, ratings and comments features, integrating library services into other platforms, and gathering usage data on a massive scale to map scholarly impact. It raises the question of how to help create architectures of participation for the library domain.

18. MESUR: usage data on a massive scale

19. The MESUR data base now contains 1B usage events (2002-2007) obtained from 6 significant publishers, 4 large institutional consortia and 4 significant aggregators ! The collected usage data spans more than 100,000 serials (including newspapers, magazines, etc.) and is related to journal citation data that spans about 10,000 journals and nearly 10 years (1996-2006) . In addition we have obtained significant publisher-provided COUNTER usage reports that span nearly 2000 institutions worldwide. The data is being ingested into a combination of relational and semantic web databases, the latter of which is now estimated to result in nearly 10 billion semantic statements (triples). MESUR is now producing large-scale, longitudinal maps of the scholarly community and a survey of more than 60 different metrics of scholarly impact.
