<div>Publishers and universities have issued proposals for achieving the requirements of the OSTP mandate. </div><div>The proposals leverage different existing infrastructures. Publishers want to use their existing systems, </div>
<div>but build a portal of shared metadata that links to distributed journal websites for access to the full </div><div>text; the version is ambiguous. Universities want to federate existing institutional and disciplinary </div>
<div>repositories, distributing both metadata and access to peer-reviewed author manuscripts. The </div><div>publishers’ proposal is not as detailed as the universities’ proposal, particularly in regard to providing </div>
<div>the mandated functionality, the licensing required to allow it, and the formats required to enable it</div></div></div>
