[BOAI] Re: COAR Roadmap: Future Directions for Repository Interoperability

[Gerritsma, Wouter]

Dear Katharina,

Thank you for this report. One really important point that is missing is the service of aggregating repositories to act as a link resolver. If you could include this in your road map, you would do a great service on adding value to repositories, since we can’t rely on Google scholar to act as a comprehensive tool for finding green OA versions of toll access papers.
The idea is not new, it is not rocket science either, but so far too little has been done to keep this on the agenda for repository development.
I blogged this http://wowter.net/2014/02/02/week-review-week-5-2014/ in the part “Narcis as a link resolver target”

Subject: [BOAI] COAR Roadmap: Future Directions for Repository Interoperability

***Apologies for cross posting***

Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce the publication of the COAR Roadmap: Future Directions for Repository Interoperability.

As you know, scholarly communication is undergoing fundamental changes, in particular with new requirements for open access to research outputs, new forms of peer-review, and alternative methods for measuring impact. In parallel, technical developments, especially in communication and interface technologies, facilitate bi-directional data exchange across related applications and systems.

The success of repository services in the future will depend on the seamless alignment of the diverse stakeholders at the local, national and international level. The roadmap identifies important trends and their associated action points for the repository community and will assist COAR in identifying priority areas for our interoperability efforts in the future.

This document is the culmination of over a year’s work to identify priority issues for repository interoperability. The preparation of the roadmap was spearheaded by Friedrich Summann from Bielefeld University in Germany, with support from a COAR Editorial Group and input from an international Expert Advisory Panel.

The roadmap is now available on the COAR website: https://www.coar-repositories.org/activities/repository-interoperability/


With kind regards,
Katharina Müller
COAR Office
