OpenAIRE – Second Phase

Open Access, participatory infrastructure for scientific information linking publications, datasets, funding

Disseminates OA/RDM information in Europe

Opens its content (search, browse, stats) and to 3rd-party/Service providers

Capitalizes on the OpenAIRE infrastructure, built for Open Access pilot, FP7-funded articles (measuring the impact of EC SC39)

A ‘Static‘ publication

<Slide from Jens Klump

Enhanced Publicati ons (EPs)

Compound information objects: represent the aggregation of distinct information objects through meaningful relationships

Example of SURF-EPs: textual publications enhanced with links to datasets

OpenAIREplus provides EP services:

Management: creation and curation

Visualization, browsing, querying

Import: OAI-PMH/ORE harvesting of EPs from external providers

Export: OAI-PMH/ORE publishing of EPs, Linked Data representation

‘Information in Context’

EGU, April 23 20129

Attempt at a generic workflow

No one-size fits all for data– Use different data types, PIs, policies, access levels,

standards

Look at research driven disciplines, different communities

Incremental, based on prototypes

“..any roadmap for OA infrastructure must address this natural tension between diversity and infrastructure”

C. Meier zu Verl, & W. Horstmann (Eds.) 2011. Studies on Subject-Specific Requirements for Open Access Infrastructure.

Cross-discipline approach

EGU, April 23 201210

Subject-specific pilots

Learning lessons from interoperation of data infrastructures– Interoperability pilots between OpenAIREplus and subject-

specific infrastructures In the Life Sciences In the Social Sciences

– Exploitation in modelling and implementation for OpenAIRE data model Relationship entities: projects, publications, datasets


The Challenges

Aggregation and Discovery of resources

Representation of diverse disciplines in a ‚generic‘ infrastructure

Access restrictions/reuse policies

User friendly way for Researchers to link research results with project information

Machine-readable (Linked Open Data)


Two disciplines…

SSH - DANS/EASY– Produce handmade EP‘s at file level– Experienced data modelling and research work (Veteran

tapes)

Life Sciences – EMBL-EBI– Text mine abstracts/full texts– Link bio-entities to database– Enriched information could be transfered to generic

infrastructure


Demonstrator

Data model – Generalised

Extract citation info for datasets– from e.g UniProt and full text

Derive Persistent Identifiers – from URLs (URNs and PMC-Ids)

Transfer of linked entities– community services and OpenAIRE infrastructure


Use Cases

1. Import EP created in DANS or SURF– Proof of Services Interoperability


Use Cases


2. Manual composition of EP in OpenAIRE– Proof of Tools: Editor, Discovery of Research data in OpenAIRE


Use Cases


2. Manual composition of EP in OpenAIRE– Proof of Tools: Editor, Discovery of Research data in OpenAIRE

3. Automatic generation of EP by extracting citation information (or mining), auto-linking– Proof that rich metadata can be represented in user-friendly

way– Possible Linked Open Data compliancy


Use Cases

4. Reuse and enrichment: annotations added by users to datasets or publications – An EP is used by researcher in publication– Adequate documentation– Test legal framework – Study into Licensing of publications and data

Analyse requirements of legal protection of research data Legal prototype of restraints


Research Scenario 1

1. You are an EC-project researcher– OA publication– Dataset with a DOI– Generate the link in OpenAIRE

2. Researcher completes data output with paper– No data repository– Submit dataset to OpenAIRE ‚orphan‘ repository


Research Scenario 2

You search for ‚mouse genome literature‘ in OpenAIRE– Find a citation for publication– funding details of project– Related data, say a protein link to GenBank– Create your own links to this


Service acti viti es

For publication providers - OpenAIRE’s Guidelines for repository managers

– Metadata: (DC) and Protocols: (OAI etc.)

For data providers: accessing (metadata of) datasets from providers while minimizing effort to comply

– Metadata: indications on minimal metadata about datasets (e.g., identifiers, date of creations, title, URLs) and best-practices for interlinking datasets and publications

– Access protocols: no requirements for adopting precise protocols (e.g., OAI, FTP) or ID/URL frameworks (e.g., OpenURL, DOI) to comply


Service activitiesUsers

Registered end-users (e.g., EC personnel, project coordinators, researchers, authors)

– Search, browse and access statistics

– Deposit files and metadata of publications and datasets into the Orphan Repository

– Ingest (claim) into the information space metadata

– Create EP by combining datasets from different communities

– Reuse of datasets as secondary data (with respect to IPR)

22 EGU, April 23 2012

Service activitiesUsers

Content provider managers (e.g. datasets and publications repository managers)

– Registration and validation (OpenAIREPlus guidelines) of publication and dataset repositories

Data curators (administrative tasks)

– Collect and aggregate publications, project data and dataset metadata

Third-party application developers

– Bulk-fetch content from the (curated) information space

The Future…..

“Forget PDFs, imagine an ideal publication where you

click on tables to get through to raw data, where you can

contribute and discuss some aspects and later update or

correct parts of a paper in subsequent versions. The latter

is similar to Wikipedia, actually.”

– PhD Student, UGOE

Research Impact

OpenAIRE puts foundations to measure research impact per publication, researcher, project, institution, country, …


Data Management Issues

Good data practices

Data policies, standards

Drivers for deposit? What‘s in it for researchers?

Work with publishers, DOIs

Where do researchers deposit data? Figshare?


• Potential issues: unstructured data with different kinds of media files

• Persistent IDs: resolvable and managed by the originator of resource

• Preservation: responsibility lies in the trusted repositories


Demonstrators

Demonstrators for Enhanced Publications– Explore how links are managed between publications and research data in Life

Sciences and SSH– How data can be mutually complemented and exchanged in generic

infrastructures– Example: how a publication ‚reported‘ in OpenAIRE is enriched via UKPMC with

links to databases

Report: „Connection Data and Publications through e-Infrastructure“
