• “This activity supports the establishment and operation of a technical infrastructure of digital repositories, with European footprint, to deposit and access scientific articles and data produced in the context of the FP7 Research…”▫ Offer a special repository for articles that can be

stored neither in institutional nor in subject-based/thematic repositories.

▫ All deposited articles will be visible and freely accessible worldwide through a new portal to the products of EU-funded research, built as part of this project.

The Call

1. Building Support Structures for Researchers in Depositing FP7 Research Publications (Networking)

2. Establishment and Operation of the OpenAIRE e-Infrastructure for Peer-Reviewed Articles and Other Forms of Scientific Results (Service)

3. Exploration of Added-Value Scientific Information Management Services (Research)

• Sustainability of the OpenAIRE e-Infrastructure and Supporting Structures, Exploitation and Promotion

The Project

‘Networking’: General Outline

•European Helpdesk System for Open Access▫Network of OA-Liaison Officers (national / regional)▫Engagement and Support for Researchers

•Dissemination and Outreach▫Dedicated Events and Materials▫Consulting with Research Institutions▫Building Sustainable Support Confederation

‘Service’: General Outline

•Presentation and Services in the Web▫OpenAIRE Portal and User Interfaces

Implement „Deposit-Once“ Policy Including institutional & subject repositories + the orphan Including Added Value Services

▫OpenAIRE backend Network Architecture based on D-NET (DRIVER) Orphan Repository based on Invenio (CERN)

▫Reliable System and High-Quality Data

‘Service’ Selected Details: e-Infrastructure

‘Research’: General Outline

• Exploring Scientific Information Systems▫ Studies with specialists about subject-specific requirements for

Open Access and e-Infrastructure▫ Study of linking with administrative data systems (“CRIS”)

• Effects of Open Access Publications by the EC ▫ Usage/Access Statistics in OpenAIRE, Repositories and Web

Citation data probably too slow▫ Preparing Reports for the commission / public

• Disciplinary Requirements for the Pilot-Areas Defined by the EC

▫ “Health” European Bioinformatics Institute - EBI/EMBL (Cambridge, UK)

▫ “Environment” World Data Center for Climate - DKRZ (Hamburg, Germany) Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research

- CGIAR (Rome, Italy)▫ “ICT (Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics)”

Cognitive Interaction Technology Excellence-Cluster - CITEC (Bielefeld, Germany)

▫ “Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities” Data Archiving and Networked Services

– DANS (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)▫ “Energy” | “Research Infrastructures” | “Science and Society”

Maybe proactive contributions – CERN (?), IWT Bielefeld (?)

‘Research’ Selected Details: Requirement Study

Summary

Links to BMS

•Requirement studies: What does BMS need in terms of accessibility and discovery?

•Infrastructure of descriptive data in the BMS?▫„Semantic“ layer above the data themselves▫Strictly Web-Based and lightweight▫Catalogues, Ontologies, Terminologies…▫„Enhanced Publications“: text-data-

compounds> D-NET between Web, Cloud/Grid & Data-

services
