Knowledge grows when shared:The Launch of OpenAIRE, 2nd December in Ghent

Knowledge is one of the few commodities that don’t devalue when used. Actually knowledge grows when shared and the free online access to peer-reviewed scientific publications is a potent ingredient the process of sharing. The sharing of knowledge is facilitated by the Open Access Movement. However Open Access is much more than downloading the PDF. Vice President of the European Commission and European Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes boldly presented this message in the Opening Session of the OpenAIRE launch. On the 2nd December 2010 the official launch of OpenAIRE the European infrastructure for Open Access was launched in Ghent, Belgium. This project and initiative is facilitating the success of the Open Access Pilot in FP7 as presented earlier in this journal. In this brief article I will present some of the most interesting issues that were discussed during the first session of the day

Akilleshælen ved Open Access

Der forestår en kæmpe udfordring med at sikre reel Open Access til danske forskningsresultater. Problemerne er mange. Og manglende politikker og forskernes adfærd er kun nogle af dem

OpenAIRE guidelines for data archive, literature repository and CRIS managers

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 to support the goal of OpenAIRE and the European Commission. The poster will briefly outline the OpenAIRE Guidelines: Guidelines for Data Archive Managers, for Literature Repository Managers and for CRIS Managers. 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.(undefined

OpenAIREplus: supporting repository interoperability through guidelines

Supporting the open access policy of the European Commission, OpenAIRE is moving from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific output, funded by the European Commission, and widening to other European funding streams. It harvests content from a range of European repositories, and ensures raised visibility of valuable open access content, as well as links to project and funding information. In order to ensure interoperability from these research infrastructures, a common approach is need to adhere to existing and future guidelines. In this context, an integrated suite of guidelines have been developed. The poster will briefly outline the OpenAIRE Guidelines: Guidelines for Data Archive Managers, for Literature Repository Managers and for CRIS Managers. 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.

OpenAIRE guidelines: supporting interoperability for literature repositories, data archives and CRIS

Paper presented at the: CRIS2014: 12th International Conference on Current Research Information Systems (Rome, May 13-15, 2014)OpenAIRE – Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe – is moving 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. This poster outlines the OpenAIRE Guidelines, highlighting the set of guidelines for Literature Repository Managers, for Data Archive Managers and for CRIS Managers.The work presented in this paper has been developed under the OpenAIREplus Project (Ref No: 283595) of the EU-funded FP7- INFRASTRUCTURES Programme
