Title
OpenAIRE guidelines for data archive, literature repository and CRIS managers
Abstract
OpenAIRE supports the European Commission Open Access policy by providing an infrastructure for researchers to comply with the European Union Open Access mandate. The OpenAIREplus project - 2nd Generation of Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe - is a 30 month project funded by the European Commission 7th Framework Programme, and extends the mission of OpenAIRE (initiated in December 2009) further to facilitate access to the entire Open Access scientific production of the European Research Area, providing crosslinks from publications to data and funding schemes. This large-scale project brings together 41 pan-European partners, including three cross-disciplinary research communities. The project will capitalize on the successful efforts of OpenAIRE, which is rapidly moving from implementing the European Union Open Access Pilot project into a service phase, enabling researchers to deposit their 7th Framework Programme and European Research Area funded research publications into Open Access repositories. Exposure and visibility of content from a range of European repositories will be significantly increased when a common and interoperable approach is taken and care to adhere to existing guidelines. This compatibility will lead to future interoperability between research infrastructures, and structured metadata is of benefit to individual data repositories and the knowledge community at large. OpenAIRE is starting to move from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific output. To put this into practice an integrated suite of guidelines were developed with specific requirements supporting the goal of OpenAIRE and the European Commission. By implementing all three sets of the OpenAIRE Guidelines, repository managers will be able to enable authors who deposit publications in their repository to fulfill the EC Open Access requirements, as well as the requirements of other (national or international) funders with whom OpenAIRE cooperates. In addition it will allow the OpenAIRE infrastructure to add value-added services such as discoverability and linking, and creation of enhanced publications. In short, building the stepping-stones for a linked data infrastructure for research.
