1. Problem Definition/Road Map: This article represents a draft of the "Road Map" deliverable, and will be expanded and revised for incorporation into the DLF ERMI Final Report. In late 2004 or early 2005 ALCTS will publish a book of essays based on presentations from the 2003 and 2004 ALCTS symposia on E- resource management which will also contain a chapter based on the "Road Map."

2. Working Documents: These specifications, standards, and best practices are expected to be useful in drafting system specifications, as well as directing vendors' development efforts. Final versions will released in July 2004.
