10. OA Metrics Service: Drivers
This project has received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No731031
OA Metrics Service: Drivers
Drivers run locally, within the publisher/platform environment.
Independent, modules (one per platform metrics are collected from).
Collect metrics and submit them to the metrics database via API.
Can be used by:
Publishers: to submit data from a third party platform hosting their books.
Platforms: to submit data from their own system.
Use the Identifier Translation Service for URI resolution. 10

This project has received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No731031
OA Metrics Service: Identifier Translation Service
Runs locally, within the publisher/platform environment.
Translates book URIs to a preferred scheme (e.g. DOI).
Uses a database of book metadata from:
Publisher/platform
Crossref
Can be integrated into an existing system (e.g. OMP) via API; or
it can be controlled using a web-based interface. 12
