Today I gave that talk at the NISO D2D meeting. I think it went pretty well despite having gone way beyond what I'd originally thought it would cover.
The first part basically introduces and gives background for why COinS and unAPI are useful steps forward. The second part argues that:
- We should merge our metasearch and openurl resolver interfaces
- We should layer an opensearch interface on top of that
- We should register the opensearch interface as a DNS-based wide-area zeroconf discoverable service
Why? If we did all of that, then everybody visiting our domain could find our base search interface, and remote services visited by people from our domain could find our resolver interface.
The slides are attached as pdf. Sadly I botched my own audio recording, but tomorrow I'll plead for a copy from the soundboard guys, and will add that too if I can get it.
[Updated 2007-01-08] The audio is a little blotchy, but here it is.

comment on your presentation
Dan,
Just a note to mention that your presentation was the highlight of the event for me. You did a great job of elucidating some pretty technical stuff in a way that most people could understand.
You were there?
Hi Steve, thanks for this. I didn't realize you were there, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk.
