Setting the agenda

Not digital = not visibletraceable, searchable and harvestable

Modern research = digital libraries/repositoriesWho pays?

Heritage appreciation = nation buildingheritage ownership – who benefits?

DRIVER Vision

European and worldwide research output(publications and data sets ) is openly accessible through institutional repositories

Interoperability ensures the automated aggregation of all scholarly research output into one virtual open knowledge base

Open content enables service providers to provide a wide range of end-user services to researchers (search, browse, profiling, visualisation, citation, impact metrics…)

API’s enable the linking and interaction of enhanced publications with any type of digital data and objects (e.g. articles with primary data, video, language recordings, learning courses, digital artefacts etc.)

Open Access

Simple concept

“…we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."

Budapest Open Access Initiative

Open Access

Simple concept - complex model

Access - visibility, searchability

Technical skills - harvesting and infrastructure

Business contracts

Research quality assurance

Authenticity

Reliable archiving - long term preservation

E-Science and e-learning

Diversity within and between user groups

The OA picture

research results -> knowledge

that are peer reviewed -> quality controlled

well preserved -> permanent access

internet distributed -> prompt access

for free reuse -> no access barriers

with attribution -> no plagiarism

authors ->

publishers ->

national libraries ->

OAI repositories ->

institutions ->

‘copyrighters‘ ->

Actors

Repository implementations

Limited to peer reviewed scholarly publications – green & gold routes

Gold and Green

o Authors retain copyrightso Institutes, funders or projects pay publication feeso Immediate open access to published articleo ~15% of the journals

o Publisher holds copyrightso Institutes pay for subscription or licence feeso Delayed access to author manuscriptso ~65% of the journals

Repository implementations

Limited to peer reviewed scholarly publications – green & gold routes

Open to all academic outputs – teaching, learning and research

Fine print of OA model

 

Community standards, rather than copyright law, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use - as they do now.

Repositories should be interconnected (institutional, national, academic disciplines) and standardised for interoperability, to be search engine friendly.

“Openness”

Challenge to develop new distribution models

Creative CommonsPotential of “openness”

AttributionOthers may copy, derive, distribute, display and perform

your copyrighted work if they give you credit.

Non-commercialOthers may copy, derive, distribute, display and perform

your copyrighted work but for non-commercial purposes only.

No Derivative WorksOthers may copy, distribute, display and perform your

copyrighted work but not any derivative works based upon it.

Share AlikeOthers may distribute derivative works only under a licence

identical to the license that governs your work.

Access to content

No longer about ownership of collections

Starting point of a value chain – reuse, mash ups

Redefining information services

Identifying user communities

Researchers create cyber-environments—secure, easy-to-use interfaces to instruments, data, computing systems, networks, applications, analysis and visualization tools, and services.
