Aligning Repository Networks
Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director, COAR
About COAR
• Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)
• Launched in 2009
• Over 120 members from 35 countries on 5 continents
• COAR Vision: A global knowledge infrastructure, based on worldwide networked open access digital repositories
• Strategic and pragmatic activities

Open Access has arrived!
Research is global!

Research is global!
Kathleen Shearer – CASRAI – COAR Aligning repository networks
But these repositories must become a network

The full potential of digital content, stored on thousands of repositories around the world can
only be exploited once they are connected.
While I am convinced that OA is the future, I’m not completely
sure whether it will be a “research-driven OA”, or a
“publishing-driven OA”. Both scenarios are still possible, and
the way in which we will transition and implement OA will make a world of difference (Eloy
Rodrigues, U Minho)
The Green Road introduces competition into the system and
will act as an important deterrent to arbitrary price
increases by publishers (Kathleen Shearer, COAR)
Global challenge is to build inclusive and participatory
models of OA, if we want to have research without borders
in the form of a shared ecosystem of digital
repositories (Dominique Babini, CLASCO)
“Openness is not simply about gaining access to knowledge, but about the
right to participate in the knowledge production process, driven by issues
that are of local relevance, rather than research agendas set elsewhere or from the top down” (leslie Chan)
We are moving from “Big science” to “Networked science”

Current Repository Landscape
• Regional Networks: OpenAIRE, La Referencia
• National networks: SHARE (US), Australia, Canada, China, Japan, UK, etc.
• Topical and disciplinary networks: PMCs, World Bank, others (?)
Existing networks are being developed based on different requirements, metadata standards and vocabularies

Why Align Repository Networks?
• To create a seamless scientific infrastructure that supports the needs of researchers at the global level.
• To provide evidence to national funding bodies and governments that local and regional service are being developed in parallel with international activities.
• To provide uniform information to governments and funding agencies about the impact of open access policies.
• To avoid duplication of work across networks and enable cost synergies in areas of common interest. Kathleen Shearer – CASRAI – COAR Aligning repository

Why Align Repository Networks?
And, to demonstrate are a viable, sustainable solution for open access!

How can repository networks be aligned?
• Political level: high-level coordination that raises the visibility and strengthens legitimacy of regional networks.
• Technical level: adopting common set of interoperability standards to ensure that content can be aggregated across networks, facilitating discovery, re-use and the development of value added services.
• Service level: common approaches to service adoption that would be of interest at the global level (e.g. common usage statistics across regions).

Strategic level
Statement about Embargo Periods
May 14, 2014: “We endorse the policies and practices that enable Open Access – immediate, barrier free access to and reuse of scholarly articles…
Embargo periods dilute the benefits of open access policies and we believe that, if they are adopted, they should be no more than 6 months for the life and physical sciences, 12 months for social sciences and humanities.”

Services level
• Share best practices for research data management
• Promote the role of repositories in the research evaluation system
• Identify sustainable models to support global services that are of value for the repository community (OpenDOAR, SHERPA-ROMEO, etc.)

Interoperability Level
• ORCID IDs
• persistent identifiers
• common vocabulary elements for embargo periods, access and re-use conditions, funder IDs, project IDs
• common approaches to usage data
• protocols that enable data exchange and cross-system transfer
Kathleen Shearer – CASRAI – COAR Aligning repository networks
21
Interoperability
• On June 23, COAR organized a meeting with major repository networks to review metadata elements and identify differences.
• All agreed we should continue the discussion and adopt a more formal process for making progress towards interoperable standards

Use Cases
• I want to find all of the publications that came from a collaborative international research project
• I want to find all of the publications that are produced by my institution
• I want to build a discovery layer on top of all open access publications to create a subset of those publications in a specific area
• Others…
