Introduction

•Background – PURE, ORBIT, PURE - > Open Access•Knowledge Exchange – JISC (UK), DFG (DE), SURF (NL),

DEFF (DK)• Institutional Repositories Workshop Strand Report

February 2007– Exchanging Research Information (Matthias Razum, Ed

Simons, Wolfram Horstmann)– Research paper metadata (Neil Jacobs)

•Project initiated in November 2008 to end June 2010

The Goal• it will make metadata input more efficient• it will avoid or reduce duplicated inputs of the same metadata on different

platforms• it will increase metadata quality, reliability and reusability• it will increase levels of services based on these metadata• it will reduce costs of metadata handling and exchange

• In reality to ”Knowledge Exchange” - > ie to get wiser!!

The task• Analyze metadata requirements of CRIS and OAR • Select group of formats in use at partners• Chart entities and granularities• Practical use-case approach like at Utrecht workshop• Identify similarities and differences

• Define/propose exchange syntax• Handle differences in granularity

• Define/propose common exchange vocabulary• For the identified key concepts/entities

• Stipulate best practice recommendations • For formats/systems to fully exploit the exchange

format

The Work• The project has based its work on practical experiences from the four KE

countries (The Netherlands, UK, Germany and Denmark) with systems/formats such as:

– CERIF2008, – MODS/DIDL, – DRIVER_DC, – DDF-MXD,– EPrints,– METIS– PURE

The Result• The aim has not been to create a new standard, but instead is based on

existing standards and knowledge!• But often these standards or the knowledge has been missing!?! • However the result is going to be:

– An Exchange format syntax– A Common exchange vocabulary– And best practices
