  1. SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008 DRIVER: Open Access to Information through Digital Repository Networks in Europe and Worldwide Norbert Lossau, Scientific Coordinator;Director Göttingen State and University Library

  2. The „Berlin Declaration“ requests Free and unrestricted access to sciences and human knowledge representation worldwide(October 2003) Needs a global, interoperable, trusted, long-term repository infrastructure DRIVER has built the nucleus of this infrastructure

  3. DRIVER’s vision All research institutions in Europe and worldwide make all their research publications openly accessible through institutional repositories

  4. Duration: 24 months Budget: 2.7 m EUR Timeplan: 12/’07 -11/’09 Main Deliverables: Digital Repository Infrastructure European Digital Repository Confederation Funded by the European Commission, “Research Infrastructure” Unit, FP 7 Consortium Partners Univ.of Athens (GR) Univ. of Bielefeld (GE) CNR-ISTI (IT) STICHTING SURF (NL) Univ. of Nottingham (UK) cont… Univ. of Bath (UK) Univ. of Warszawski (PO) Univ. of Gent (BE) Univ. of Goettingen (GE) Danish Technical University (DK) Universidade do Minho (PT) Narodna in univerzitetna knijznica (SLO) General Information: DRIVER II

  5. DRIVER II activity areasand outcomes Open Source Software for repository networks Confederation • Organization of Digital • Repository Infrastructure Providers D-NET DR Infrastructure • Digital Repository Network Infrastructure Services DRIVER Portal & Wiki • Community Building • & Maintenance

  6. DRIVER: Establishes a „Confederation“ of Repository Communities Launch planned for October 2009 Initial focus on Europe, but with international alliances from the beginning Members and strategic partners invited: European and international repository communities Subject based communities Repository system providers Service providers Political, research, funding etc. organisations A key question? Establish a new, independent legal body or merge with an existing organisation? <=DRIVER Advisory Board established on the 2 July ‘08 in Istanbul; wider consultation meeting took place on the 16 November in Baltimore

  11. D-NET Software: DRIVER Network-Evolution-Toolkit Version 1.0 released under the Open Source Apache License to the public on the 20 June 2008 The DRIVER Infrastructure Software includes: Repository network administration software (such as the Repository Network Manager, Resource Monitoring) End-user services (Search, Browse, Profiling) Support service to local repository managers and aggregators (Validation Tool) 11

  12. DRIVER Infrastructure First implementation in operation: “DRIVER European Information Space (DEIS)”, maintained by the DRIVER Consortium Supports three groups of users: The repository network manager The service provider The researcher, reader, public

  14. Repository Workflow • Registration • Ready for human and automatic validation • Manual and Automatic validation • Content quality and DRIVER Guidelines • Harvesting • Manager Service: requires allocation of stores for containing the harvested records • OAI-PMH original metadata records (Dublin Core et al.) • Transformation • Manager Service: requires allocation of stores and indices for containing the generated records and enabling their interrogation • Transforming harvested records into DRIVER Metadata Format records (DMF)

  15. The DRIVER Portal, www.driver-community.eu

  16. DRIVER Software and Infrastructure Deployment Possible deployment use cases, examples: Countries, communities or organisations using the existing DRIVER instance, e.g. by customising the portal (example: RECOLECTA, Spain) Countries running an additional, independent instance of a DRIVER infrastructure National aggregators or local repositories using the DRIVER Validator Tool Current challenge to the DRIVER Consortium Limited capacity for technical support

  18. How does DRIVER relate to national repository communities? • National communities are usually represented by country “correspondents” • One institution or a group of institutions takes responsibility to build a national repository community (like DARENet-NL, SHERPA-UK, OA-Netzwerk-GE, RECOLECTA-ES, HAL-FR) • Country “correspondents” … • Maintain the national repository information on the DRIVER Wiki • Organise repository events in their countries • Translate repository guidelines and other relevant information into national languages • Build up national data aggregators, clean data, can offer additional services

  19. How does DRIVER relate to international repository communities? DRIVER sees it’s mission as Catalyst for a global repository infrastructure Develop and maintain the European repository infrastructure node DRIVER liaises already with institutions and initiatives from the majority of European countries, the U.S., Canada, Latin America, China, Japan, India and Africa DRIVER has signed MoUs with SPARC Europe, LIBER, eIFL, Recolecta Spain, OA-Netzwerk Germany and DRF Japan

  20. Further actions needed … Lobby for Open Access mandates from all funding organisations Revise contracts with (STM) publishers – build Open Access consortia: convert current subscription payments to “subscription + institution-wide “green road” IR deposit permission” (cf. pilot Springer Open Choice agreements) agree on automated article transfer from the publisher to institutional repositories (European PEER project) Develop automated metadata transfer workflows from article databases into institutional repositories (e.g PubMed > Fact Science research database) Support Open Access journal publishing Support Open Access book publishing (European OAPEN project) Develop and support new types of citation & impact measuring services Develop and provide long-term archiving services for repositories…

  21. Publishing and the Ecology of European Research (PEER) EC eContentplus Vorgesehener Start: 1. September 2008 Laufzeit: 3 Jahre Partner: International STM Headoffice, ESF, Universität/SUB Göttingen, MPG/MPDL, INRIA, SURF, Universität/UB Bielefeld

  22. Purpose of PEER • Publishers and research community collaborate • Develop an “observatory” to monitor the impact of systematically depositing stage-two outputs on a large scale • Gather hard evidence to inform future policies

  23. Depositing activities • 15 major STM publishers (incl. Elsevier, Springer, Wiley etc.) • Ca. 300 Journal • Approx. 20,000 articles per year (~60,000 articles for the project) • 50% of the articles: Publisher > Repositories • 50% of the articles: Author > Repositories
