The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) was formed in 2011 to address issues with the opaque agreements between content providers and discovery service providers. The ODI aims to define standards for assessing content provider participation, streamlining processes for working with discovery vendors, and determining usage statistics collection. An ODI Standing Committee was formed in 2014 to promote educational opportunities on its recommended practices, provide support during adoption, and serve as a forum for ongoing discussion among stakeholders. The Standing Committee roster includes representatives from libraries, publishers, and service providers. Key areas of focus for the committee are education, technology, and ensuring conformance through published checklists and statements.
