[GOAL] Re: JISC schema for OA policies

[Reme Melero]

Dear all,

I presume the scheme, after polishing and refinement, will be 
implemented as a data base of  a web tool,  and funders and 
universities/research centres will be treated by separate, as we have 
done in the OA policies directory, MELIBEA 
<http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/default.php> , for years (see 
our scheme and form to suggest a new policy for institutional 
<http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicas&version=&group=Instituci%F3n%20acad%E9mica/investigadora>and 
funder 
<http://www.accesoabierto.net/politicas/nueva.php?directorio=politicas&version=&group=Entidad%20financiadora> 
entities), by the way missed in the background of the OA policy schema. 
I will contact directly for specific comments with the PASTEUR4OA parterns.

Good morning
Reme
