Types of SMEs of interest to OpenAIRE•Improving the e-Infrastructure layers

• Repository level (plugins for new protocols, formats, etc.)

•Developing value added services for different stakeholders

• Innovative scholarly communication services• New tools and services on OpenAIRE’s content (similar

to practices around the open government data initiatives) – TDM involved

SMEs


Challenges• Trust and sustainability

• Being a project concerns potential long-term collaborators• Need a clear legal framework on content

• Global aspect of research• OpenAIRE’s focus on European content limits SMEs – research is

global

• Current (project) funding scheme has limitations on SMEs involvement• Prizes would be desirable


Plans for SME engagement•Well-defined and described APIs and SLAs

• Establish sound legal framework

•Open calls for creation of innovative services & applications

• New scholarly communication platforms• Repository platform modules• Value added services • Mobile apps
