DESCRIPTION
OA‐Network collaborates with other associated German Open Access‐related projects and pursues the overarching aim to increase the visibility and the ease of use of the German research output. For this end a technical infrastructure is established to offer value‐added services based on a shared information space across all participating repositories. In addition to this OA‐Network promotes the DINI‐certificate for Open Access repositories (standardization) and a regularly communication exchange in the German repository landscape.TRANSCRIPT

Our starting point: German repository landscape in 2010
•
200+ institutional and disciplinary repositories‐
Various repository platforms operational
‐
Large differences in design, size of collections, and coverage
‐
Heterogenous types of content
•
Enhancement of content visibility on a national and international level by various means
‐
Widespread implementation of OAI‐PMH, but still deficits in standardization and data harmonization
‐
Prominent repository registries, repository collaborations, search engines:

Reasons for the still missing breakthrough of OA•
The German situation:– Reputation of OA publications– Critical mass of content– Scattered landscape, i.e. collections– Non‐standardisation– Technical, legal, and organisational support for authors– Repositories as “Unorte”
Repository?

OAN in a nutshell
Target Group: DevelopersFunction: Development
•Offers a testbed with the real metadata for data
analysis and prototype development
Target Group: End usersFunction: Services
•Offers services for users on a web site•put them into a common context of use
Target Group: Repository operatorsFunction:
Data
•Collect, clean, aggregate and enrich data•make data accessible via open interfaces
•integrate data in external projects/networks

Technological approach: aggregator function
•
For international service providers via OAI API
•
For subject repositories and gateways
•
And to institutional repositories

Organisational approach
• Improve the coordination and collaboration between operators of documents, publication services (mainly repositories) and developers
• Promoting the DINI Certificate for Document and Publication Services
• Support for the repository community, e.g. guidelines, workshops
• Communication of the above‐mentioned services by several means to the end users
• Cooperation with partners, e.g. Information platform Open‐Access.net

Services for the German OA community
• Promoting the development and implementation of innovative competencies and technologies
• Providing enhanced search and retrieval functionalities
• Functioning as a showcase for scientific OA content
• Networking and supporting collaborations between OA projects
