1. OpenAIRE: Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe Wolfram Horstmann Bielefeld University, Germany whorstmann@uni-bielefeld.de

2. New FP7 funded project, related to European Comission “Open Access Pilot” Start date: December, 1st, 2009 Duration: 36 months 38 partners from 27 member states + Norway OpenAIRE

3. Partners University of Athens (coordinator) University of Goettingen Library (scientific coordinator) CNR-ISTI (technical coordinator) Bielefeld University Spanish Nat. Research Council (CSIC) CERN SURF ICM – University of Warsaw University of Minho University of Gent Library eIFL Technical University Denmark Liaison Offices Scientific Communities Health (Life Sciences) – EMBL-EBI Environment – World Data Center for Climate – Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Information & Communication Science – Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities – Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS)

4. “ This activity supports the establishment and operation of a technical infrastructure of digital repositories, with European footprint, to deposit and access scientific articles and data produced in the context of the FP7 Research…” ▫ Offer a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subject- based/thematic repositories. ▫ All deposited articles will be visible and freely accessible worldwide through a new portal to the products of EU-funded research, built as part of this project. The Call

5. 1.Building Support Structures for Researchers in Depositing FP7 Research Publications (Networking) 2.Establishment and Operation of the OpenAIRE e-Infrastructure for Peer-Reviewed Articles and Other Forms of Scientific Results (Service) 3.Exploration of Added-Value Scientific Information Management Services (Research) Sustainability of the OpenAIRE e-Infrastructure and Supporting Structures, Exploitation and Promotion The Project

6. ‘Networking’: General Outline European Helpdesk System for Open Access ▫ Network of OA-Liaison Officers (national / regional) ▫ Engagement and Support for Researchers Dissemination and Outreach ▫ Dedicated Events and Materials ▫ Consulting with Research Institutions ▫ Building Sustainable Support Confederation

7. ‘Networking’ Selected Details: The OA Helpdesk

8. ‘Service’: General Outline Presentation and Services in the Web ▫ OpenAIRE Portal and User Interfaces  Implement „Deposit-Once“ Policy  Including institutional & subject repositories + the orphan  Including Added Value Services ▫ OpenAIRE backend  Network Architecture based on D-NET (DRIVER)  Orphan Repository based on Invenio (CERN) ▫ Reliable System and High-Quality Data

9. ‘Service’ Selected Details: e-Infrastructure

10. ‘Research’: General Outline Exploring Scientific Information Systems ▫ Studies with specialists about subject-specific requirements for Open Access and e-Infrastructure ▫ Study of linking with administrative data systems (“CRIS”) Effects of Open Access Publications by the EC ▫ Usage/Access Statistics in OpenAIRE, Repositories and Web  Citation data probably too slow ▫ Preparing Reports for the commission / public

11. Disciplinary Requirements for the Pilot-Areas Defined by the EC ▫ “Health”  European Bioinformatics Institute - EBI/EMBL (Cambridge, UK) ▫ “Environment”  World Data Center for Climate - DKRZ (Hamburg, Germany)  Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research - CGIAR (Rome, Italy) ▫ “ICT (Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics)”  Cognitive Interaction Technology Excellence-Cluster - CITEC (Bielefeld, Germany) ▫ “Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities”  Data Archiving and Networked Services – DANS (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) ▫ “Energy” | “Research Infrastructures” | “Science and Society”  Maybe proactive contributions – CERN (?), IWT Bielefeld (?) ‘Research’ Selected Details: Requirement Study

12. Summary

13. Links to BMS Requirement studies: What does BMS need in terms of accessibility and discovery? Infrastructure of descriptive data in the BMS? ▫„Semantic“ layer above the data themselves ▫Strictly Web-Based and lightweight ▫Catalogues, Ontologies, Terminologies… ▫„Enhanced Publications“: text-data-compounds > D-NET between Web, Cloud/Grid & Data-services
