  2. Overview presentation • OAI ideology • OAI pragmatics • OAI issues • ARNO - Academic Research Netherlands Online • DARE - Digital Academic Repositories • How does it all fit together? • Questions Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  3. OAI ideology “the goal of the OAi is to contribute in a concrete manner to the transformation of scholarly communication” “promotes and encourages the development of author self-archiving solutions” “as a means of increasing the availability of scholarly communication” “genuine building blocks of a transformed scholarly communication model” Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  4. OAI ideology Roots in the pre-print (scholarly) community & the library community • Increase visibility of scientific output. • Improve speed and reach of scholarly communication. • Improvement of knowledge infrastructure. • Social responsibility: improve access to scientific information. Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  5. OAI ideology • Position in international knowledge/info economy. • Existing model is too expensive (‘serials crisis’) , too slow, and excludes users of scientific information. • Putting pressure on the existing model. • Development of a new model. • Different relationship with publisher. OAI is not alone: SPARC (Europe), BioMed Central, Public Library of Science (PLoS), Highwire Press, … Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  6. OAI pragmatics OAI also quite pragmatic • Supports interoperability between repositories/ archives • Infrastructure costs are low Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  8. OAI pragmatics OAI also quite pragmatic • Supports interoperability between repositories/ archives • Infrastructure costs are low • Types of interoperability • federation: organisations conform services to strict specifications for operability. • harvesting: flexible organisation, adoption of basic set of rules for operability. • gathering: no cooperation, minimal level of operability.

  11. OAI pragmatics OAI also quite pragmatic • Supports interoperability between repositories/ archives • Infrastructure costs are low • Types of interoperability • Separation of data provider and service provider • OAI: high on ideology and high on pragmatics = powerful combination Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

DARE - Digital Academic Repositories University of Amsterdam (UvA) proposal based on our experience with among others the Exact Sciences Pre-Print Server (Béta Preprint Server): • Difficult to convince scientists • Vital to embed the process in the organisation • It must be easy • Ideology is not sufficient: there must be something in it for the scientist Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  23. DARE - Digital Academic Repositories UvA proposal: University Scientific Archive • Create 2 separate steps in the process: 1. submission into the archive - 2. make the document available for external use • Make the metadata immediately available • Make life easy: input of metadata via METIS • Create services for scientists based on the metadata (and the document): ‘My publications’ lists; linking services; ‘notify a colleague’; printing on demand service for dissertations; … Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  24. DARE - Digital Academic Repositories UvA proposal: University Scientific Archive • Develop and implement university-wide policy • Work on changing culture: full-service for 100 selected researchers (retrospective input of metadata and publications, obtain permissions from journals/publishers) Aside: Linking services (OpenURL) Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003

  25. How does it fit together? • Example: University Library, University of Amsterdam • Fits extremely well within Digital Library concept & infrastructure: distributed, integration layer, based on open international standards (Z39.50, SRU, OpenURL, MARC, Dublin Core, XML, … , OAI) • Digital Production Centre for the creation electronic publications • Member of SPARC Europe, BioMed Central Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003
