Open AIRE Open Access Infrastructure for Research in

Open. AIRE: Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe Wolfram Horstmann Bielefeld University, Germany whorstmann@uni-bielefeld. de

Open. AIRE • New FP 7 funded project, related to European Comission “Open Access Pilot” • Start date: December, 1 st, 2009 • Duration: 36 months • 38 partners from 27 member states + Norway

Partners Scientific Communities Health (Life Sciences) • • • University of Athens (coordinator) University of Goettingen Library (scientific coordinator) CNR-ISTI (technical coordinator) Bielefeld University Spanish Nat. Research Council (CSIC) CERN SURF ICM – University of Warsaw University of Minho University of Gent Library e. IFL Technical University Denmark Liaison Offices – EMBL-EBI Environment – World Data Center for Climate – Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Information & Communication Science – Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities – Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS)

The Call • “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 FP 7 Research…” ▫ Offer a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subjectbased/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 Project 1. Building Support Structures for Researchers in Depositing FP 7 Research Publications (Networking) 2. Establishment and Operation of the Open. AIRE 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 Open. AIRE e-Infrastructure and Supporting Structures, Exploitation and Promotion

‘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

‘Networking’ Selected Details: The OA Helpdesk Region 1 North (DTU) Denmark (Danish Technical University) Finland (University of Helsinki) Region 2 South (UMINHO) Cyprus (Universtity of Cyprus) Greece (National Documentation Center) Region 3 East (e. IFL) Czech Republic (Technical University of Ostrava) Bulgaria (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) Region 4 West (UGENT) Austria (University of Wien) Belgium (Universtiy of Gent) Hungary (HUNOR) Estonia (University of Tartu) France (Couperin) Sweden (National Library of Sweden) Italy (CASPAR) Lithuania (Kaunas Technical University) Latvia (University of Latvia) Romania (Kosson) Poland (ICM – University of Warsaw) Slovakia (university Library of Bratislava) Slovenia (University of Ljubljana) Malta (Malta Council for Science & Technology) Portugal (University of Minho) Spain (Spanish Foundation for Science & Technology) Germany (University of Kostanz) Ireland (Trinity College) Netherlands (Utrecht University)

‘Service’: General Outline • Presentation and Services in the Web ▫ Open. AIRE Portal and User Interfaces Implement „Deposit-Once“ Policy Including institutional & subject repositories + the orphan Including Added Value Services ▫ Open. AIRE 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 Open. AIRE, Repositories and Web Citation data probably too slow ▫ Preparing Reports for the commission / public

‘Research’ Selected Details: Requirement Study • 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 (? )

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
