- The PEPRS project aims to create a registry of digital preservation activities for e-journals to help libraries and policymakers understand what content is being archived.
- The initial phase involved five digital preservation agencies and used ISSN data to map e-journal records to content being preserved.
- The evaluation recommended further funding to resolve issues identified and develop the system into a full public service.
The PEPRS project aims to create a registry of e-journal archiving activities to help libraries assess digital preservation of e-journals. Phase 1 involved piloting a database of e-journals archived by 4 digital preservation agencies and national libraries. This identified issues around inconsistent ISSNs, holdings information, and terminology. Phase 2 will further develop the registry service and involve international users in testing to help establish governance. The registry will provide a searchable list of e-journals and details on what organizations are preserving which volumes and under what terms of access.
The document summarizes the PEPRS Project, which aims to create a registry of information about which digital journals are being preserved by various organizations, and the scope and terms of that preservation. It provides background on the problem of ensuring long-term access to e-journals, describes the scoping study that preceded the PEPRS Project, and details Phase 1 of the project which involved piloting the registry with data from several digital preservation agencies. It outlines key issues identified in Phase 1 and recommendations to address them, and describes next steps for Phase 2 of the PEPRS Project.
Institutional repositories provide open access to scholarly works created by a university's researchers and community. They allow for increased visibility, preservation and sharing of research. Content typically includes articles, theses, reports and other materials. Repositories offer benefits like increased citations and supporting funder open access policies. Many countries now fund repository programs to encourage participation and network infrastructure.
Digital libraries offer a knowledge base that can be accessed online, overcoming geographical barriers. They support functions like document preservation, database management, information retrieval, and dissemination. Major digital library projects include those in the US funded by NSF, ARPA, and NASA involving 6 universities, and 35 Elib projects in the UK. In India, the IISc digital library was a pioneer, accessible online and containing publications and theses. However, issues around copyright, data protection, and sustainability must still be addressed before digital libraries fully replace conventional libraries.
The Europeana Cloud project aims to address two challenges for the Europeana ecosystem: making metadata richer and getting more users of that metadata. It does this by allowing members to upload metadata to a shared system and define access conditions, and allowing third parties to access and enrich that metadata via APIs. The project involves three aggregators piloting the system and will investigate building end-user services for researchers on top of the shared infrastructure. It is a three-year project with over 30 partners testing and building this shared infrastructure.
Stewardship of the Digital Scholarly Record and Digital Published HeritageNASIG
This presentation discusses how The Keepers Registry and the network of Keepers is attempting to tackle the issue of digital preservation for electronic serials specifically. First identifying the scope of the problem being addressed, it moves on to the successes, in preservation and in measuring that preservation, before moving on to the challenges still to be surmounted. It touches upon some of the specific cases on which this preservation is focussing, including legal deposit and regional library consortia, as well as engagement with OA journals. It finishes with the broader plan of action to help allow the Keepers to accomplish their digital preservation goals, laid out in the statement they issued last August, calling upon all stakeholders in the world of scholarly communication, notably both publishers and research libraries, and setting actions they can take to help in this mission.
Speaker: Ted Westervelt, Library of Congress
The document discusses several projects related to open metadata and linked data including:

FAIR Data Bridging from researcher data management to ELIXIR archives in the...Carole Goble
ISMB-ECCB 2021, NIH/ODSS Session, 27 July 2021
ELIXIR is the pan-national European Research Infrastructure for Life Science data, whose 23 national nodes and the EBI coordinate the development and long-term sustainability of domain public databases. FAIR services, policies and curation approaches aim to build a FAIR connected data ecosystem of trusted domain repositories, from ENA, HPA and EGA to specialised resources like CorkOakDB and PIPPA for plant phenotypes. But this is only one part of the data landscape and often the end of data’s journey. The nodes support research projects to operate “FAIR data first”, working with institutional and national platforms that are often generic or designed for project-based data management. We need to bridge between project-based and community-based, and support researchers across their whole RDM lifecycle, navigating the complexity this ecosystem. The ELIXIR-CONVERGE project and its flagship RDMkit toolkit (https://rdmkit.elixir-europe.org) aims to do just that.

Opening up the archives: from basement to browserAmanda Hill
The document summarizes the current state of archive gateways in the UK that provide access to archival descriptions and collections. It describes several existing networks like Archives Hub, AIM25, and A2A that aggregate finding aids from different repositories. Archives Hub aims to be a single point of access for archives in educational institutions. It has grown significantly since starting as a pilot in 1999 and now includes descriptions from over 150 repositories, though some collections only have brief level descriptions while others include item-level details. Future plans include transitioning to a more distributed model where repositories can host their own data and moving to new protocols to expose the data.
The Europeana Cloud project aims to address two challenges for the Europeana ecosystem: making metadata richer and getting more users of that metadata. It plans to test a shared infrastructure between three aggregators - The European Library, the Polish Digital Libraries Federation, and Europeana - to allow members to upload and define access to metadata and for third parties to access that metadata via APIs. The project will investigate building end-user services for researchers on top of this infrastructure, including APIs, tools, and a European Research Platform. It will also address governance, business models, and how other organizations can join the infrastructure after the project is complete.

Going to talk about a metadata project which provides a key role in informing librarians and collection managers about the situations regarding the long term situation about e-journals
This is the old scenario where users were faced with row upon row of printed journals.
Now users are inclined to access this information via computers although not quite like these ones!
All the statistics point to increased e-journal publication, expenditure and usage. RIN has done a lot of work to quantify the situation. Chart one shows availability by discipline and clearly it is no great surprise to learn that the sciences have a very high %. The second chart shows that the bigger publishers have moved into online in a bigger way than the smaller publishers but it is increasing no matter the size. The third chart shows the increase in usage. There was a 23% increase in downloading between 2005/6 – 2006/07 and a 19% increase 2006-7. The increase is greater for the Scottish Higher Education Digital Libraries (SHEDL). 19.58% 2007-8 and 41.2% 2009-9.
Print aspects. Essentially under library control.
Essential aspect is that it is not under the control of the library as is the case with print.
Schemes have emerged to provide solutions for libraries but there is a key issue in trying to obtain a coherent overall view.
There is a lot of background literature but the key report is that prepared by Rigtscm and Loughborough University. Essentially PEPRS has evolved from the findings in the report.
How do we find what is in the vaults but more critically how can we avoid having to look into each vault separately?
This is a snow drop showing that PEPRS essentially is an aggregation of metadata from a number of suppliers or as they are called in the PEPRS context archiving agencies.
The key components. Essentially PEPRS is based upon metadata from the different participating agencies associated with authoritative metadata from the ISSN Register.
These are the open source components used in PEPRS.
