GL14 Keynote Address
Dr. Jan Brase to deliver the Keynote
Jan Brase has a degree in Mathematics and a PhD in Computer science. His research background is metadata, ontologies and digital libraries. Since 2005 he is head of the DOI-registration agency for research data at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). He is furthermore Managing Agent of DateCite, an international consortium with 16 members from 12 countries http://www.datacite.org. DataCite was founded in December 2009 and has set itself the goal of making online access to all kinds of information for scientists easier by promoting the acceptance of research data and grey literature as individual, citable scientific objects. DataCite has already assigned over 1.3 million DOI names to data sets and grey literature. Jan is Chair of the International DOI foundation (IDF), Vice-President of the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) and Co-Chair of the recently established CODATA Data Citation task group. He is author of several articles and conference papers on the citation of data sets and the new challenges for libraries in dealing with such non-textual information objects.

The accompanying slide presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the workings of TextRelease and its Grey Literature Network Service. TextRelease is an independent program and conference bureau specializing in the field of grey literature and networked information.

GreyNet, Grey Literature Network Service, was founded in 1992 and relaunched in 2003 under the leadership and direction of TextRelease. Since its relaunch, it has developed into an international network capable of serving various sectors of government, academics, business and industry as well as subject based communities producing, processing, and distributing grey literature. The mission of GreyNet, which is dedicated to research, publication, open access, and education in the field of grey literature, requires now more than ever an infrastructure commensurate to its real potential.
 
In order to further expand and develop future capabilities for the Grey Literature Network Service, an infrastructure other than that of a sole proprietorship is essential. While TextRelease provided a basis for GreyNet’s relaunch in 2003, it alone cannot render the needed capital and investment for GreyNet's potential to develop and expand on the global information landscape. The ideal organization would be focused internationally and have genuine interest in the field of grey literature both in digital and print formats. 

Following the example of other international organizations, the vision and direction for GreyNet would do well to model upon an infrastructure of that of an association. To this end, TextRelease seeks to cooperate with leading institutions in the transfer and registration of GreyNet as a new legal entity i.e. an international association with a designated seat of governance. 
The Twelfth International Conference on Grey Literature provided a unique opportunity to discuss the future of GreyNet in a professional forum and each successive conference in the GL-Series provides an occasion to further discuss its intended transition.

While this book is written with students and instructors of Colleges and Schools of Library and Information Science in mind, it likewise serves as a reader for information professionals working in any and all like knowledge-based communities.
