1. Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) Supporting the scientific information workflow within the Max Planck Society
Malte Dreyer

2. The Max Planck Society (MPG – Max-Planck Gesellschaft)
78 institutes
265 directors, 4000 PhDs, 4000 PhD students
30 locations
intense cooperation with universities

3. Locations distributed organization
cooperation between different locations is very common
locations outside Germany are not shown (Nijmegen, Florence, Rome, …)

4. Fields diverse set of fields not a broad as many universities
Chemistry, Physics, Technology
Biology, Medicine, Brain Science
Law, Art, History, Cognition
not a broad as many universities
but more interdisciplinary

5. Max Planck Digital Library MPDL
Founded in 2007
Head: Laurent Romary
Departments
Information Provision
Research and Development
Open Access
Complemented by activities in many institutes
Close cooperation MPDL --- Institutes
Link to eResearch activities outside MPG
FIZ, Göttingen, Humboldt, DFG, DANS, NIMS, …

6. Information Provision: Journal coverage
+42,3%
+19,4%
Access to content in 2007
3.5 million full-text downloads
(cf. 3.0 million database searches)
Very large electronic journal collection – also on international scale
Vast growth rate; even accelerated since MPDL foundation

7. Supporting Open Access Publications
Agreements
Copernicus (Geoscience)
Springer “Open Choice”
BioMed Central
New Journal of Physics
Public Library of Science (PLoS)
In preparation
SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics)

8. Our research infrastructure must match the research ambitions

9. Use of information technology for enhancing research
eResearch =
Use of information technology
for enhancing research
Kurt Mehlhorn, VP, MPG

10. MPDL and eSciDoc
Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is central unit for eResearch infrastructure
The axes:
Information provision (journals and data bases)
Information dissemination and open access
Research tools
eSciDoc is our main project for
Axes 2: Publication Management
Axes 3: Scholarly Workbench
Open Source
Growing Community
considerable eResearch activities in the institutes (virtual observatory, intelligent search engines, …)

24. eSciDoc: What for?
Publish, Visualize, Manage and Work with Data Artifacts
Publication Data
Research Data
Across Disciplines
Using a Service Oriented Architecture
Unified Infrastructure and
Specialized Solutions
Within the context of Research Questions
Integrating existing Solutions
While also addressing Aspects of
Data Reliability and Data Quality
Data Curation and Long Term Preservation
Artifact Lifecycle Support
Semantic Relations between Artifacts

25. eSciDoc Architecture General View
Infrastructure to ensure sustainability
Services to connect and disseminate data
Solutions to visualize, publish, manage, work with data
Generalized in concepts, processes and technology to develop new and sustainable solutions easily

26. eSciDoc as an eScience Environment
Facilitates introspection on
Artifacts and Processes within the Scientific Information Lifecycle
Possible Artifact Aggregations and Relations
Open and Sustainable Formats
Data Curation and Data Stewardship
Institutional eScience Potential
Therefore also supports Scientific Organizational Development
