On a general note:<br><br>I agree that the bottom-up, repository-mediated approach to attaching information about funder and grant/project to OA outputs is feasible and, it seems to me, the preferred approach.<br><br>On a more specific note:<br>
<br>It should be noted that the OpenAIRE approach to identifying the grant/project is well-designed for EU-funded projects, but does not so easily accommodate other funders (e.g. UK Research Council). This was discussed on this list last year [^1]<br>
<br>EDINA is working with Jisc, RCUK, HEFCE and Chygrove Ltd (as well as repository software suppliers) to develop a metadata application-profile better suited (but not restricted to) the identification of UK funders and projects.<br>
<br>Details about this can be found at [^2] but please note that we are working on a significant revision to this to which should be published for comment in June.<br><br>We remain in close contact with OpenAIRE (having discussed this at the COAR/OpenAIRE meeting last week) and have agreed to work closely to ensure that we can achieve the best possible, mutual interoperability.<br>
