DRIVER Guidelines 2.0 : Guidelines for content providers - Exposing textual resources with OAI-PMH (November 2008)

Vanderfeesten M, Summann F, Slabbertje M, eds. DRIVER Guidelines 2.0 : Guidelines for content providers - Exposing textual resources with OAI-PMH (November 2008).; 2008.For communication in general it is important that person B is able to understand what person A is saying. For this common understanding one needs a common ground, a basic lexicon with an awareness of the meaning of things. From this point on one can start reasoning. In order to support scholarly communication with the use of repositories, repositories should speak the same language and it is therefore essentialto create a common ground. In technical terms we create a common ground by conducting "interoperability". Interoperability can be managed at different layers. In the DRIVER Guidelines we basically try to reach interoperability on two layers, syntactical (Use of OAI-PMH & Use of OAI_DC) and semantic (Use of Vocabularies). Stand: November 200

Requirements for Management & Storage to support complex objects & ORE in DSpace

Nowadays, most of the institutional repositories make use of open source repository software like DSpace, Eprints or Fedora. If libraries want to successfully use OAIORE to create world‐wide networks of aggregations, the first requirement is that the architecture of the repository software is compliant with OAI‐ORE. Utrecht University Library makes use of DSpace. To investigate what should be done to make OAI‐ORE support possible, we carried out a research on a small scale. As a reference point for currently available functionality DSpace 1.4.x / 1.5 is used

Het duurzaam bewaren van wetenschappelijke digitale bronnen

Door de toename van digitaal materiaal groeit bij universiteitsbibliotheken de behoefte aan digitale ‘depots’, naast de reeds bestaande papieren depots. De Universiteiten van Delft, Utrecht en Maastricht hebben daarom gezamenlijk een experimenteel digitaal depot ontworpen en ontwikkeld. Ronald Dekker en Martin Slabbertje beschrijven dit e-Archiving project

Storing and manipulating Enhanced publications & the discovery with OAI ORE

As part of a SURF programme related to enhanced publications, we have prototyped the storage of real-world publications (especially theses) and their related enhancements (such as data sets and related publications) using our Dspace repositoy as the foundation. During the presentation we will discuss the process for collecting additional data from researchers, and how to deal with the knowledge-gap between librarians and researchers that results from their different areas of expertise. A lot of time is spent on 'speaking the same language', which requires understanding the researchers "needs and restrictions" and the "vision and goals" of the repository manager. We will discuss in detail the processes of describing, uploading, storing and maintaining the theses, the additional materials, and the relation between them (to create ORE ReM's) using DSpace. When handling research data, many choices have to be made because the data varies from single files to directories with hundreds of files and from small files to files larger than 3 GB. Since one of the ground-rules of OAI-ORE was that not every component is necessarily part of the same repository, we will show components living in multiple repositories which are not all hosted by our University. For dissemination purposes, we have created the generation and publication of ReM's, which will be explained and related to the DSpace metadata. Through live demos, we will show the behaviour of DSpace when aggregations are requested and when links from within an aggregation are followed all the way to the final publication or datasets. According to the project schedule, an end-user ReM browser will also be available around October 2009

A candidate semantic representation for enhanced e‐theses: guidelines for modelling enhanced e-theses

The most important goal of this document is to be a first step in the realisation of a model that can be used for a shared method of modeling of enhanced e‐theses. The advantage of a shared method of modeling of e‐theses is that this will increase the interoperability of enhanced e‐theses. The desired end result of this is an optimisation of access to the enhanced e‐theses and a better guarantee for the sustainable archiving of enhanced e‐theses

http://hdl.handle.net/11424/3147Genel anlamda iletişim için B kişisinin A kişinin söylediğini anlayabilmesi çok önemlidir. Ortak bir anlayış için ortak bir zemin, nesnelerin anlamları konusunda farkındalık sağlayan temel bir sözlüğe ihtiyaç vardır. Bu noktadan sonra kişi akıl yürütmeye başlayabilir. Açık erişim sistemleri akademik iletişimi desteklemek için aynı dili konuşmalıdır. Bu aynı zamanda ortak bir zemin yaratmak için de gereklidir. Teknik anlamda, “konuşabilirlik” sağlayarak ortak bir zemin yaratırız. Konuşabilirlik farklı katmanlarda yürütülebilir. DRIVER Rehberinde konuşabilirlik, söz dizimsel (OAI-PMH kullanımı ve OAI_DC kullanımı) ve anlamsal (terminolojinin kullanımı) olmak üzere iki temel yolla elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır. - See more at: http://openaccess.iyte.edu.tr:8080/xmlui/handle/11147/4135#sthash.hkQSKV9P.dpu
