Cooperation between FAO and UNESCO-IOC/IODE FAO and UNESCO-IOC released a customized version of DSpace – an Open Source, digital document repository system. The communities supported by FAO and UNESCO- IOC/IODE are synergistic and the standards on metadata and controlled vocabularies are similar for both. Goals: o Promote open access to scientific information o Enhance the internal scientific communication o Make scientific information more accessible o Increase impact of research information
The OceanDocs Network OceanDocs 31 institutes from Africa and Latin America 3,405 docs Repositories with the same software: IBSS(Ukraine) 1,610 docs CEEMAR docs Related institutional repositories: NIO (India) 3,792 docs (On Dspace) ODINPimris docs (On Greenstone)
FAO and DSpace DSpace as a tool for AGRIS centres Objectives: Assure quality in metadata creation Sharing information in a standardized manner Use of common semantics and interoperable syntaxes Use of more sophisticated and specialized metadata Use of controlled, multilingual vocabularies Requirements: AGRIS AP compliancy – AGROVOC Agris Dspace: ARD Prasad - ISI (Bangalore, India) Adapted submission module AGRIS AP export through OAI-PMH
