RIOXX and V4OA

2. • both
RIOXX
and
V4OA
were
developed
by
UKOLN
(working
with
Chygrove
Ltd.)
&
funded
by
the
Joint
Information
Systems
Committee
(JISC)
funding

3. RIOXX
• goals:
• to
improve
on
the
quality
of
metadata
being
harvested
from
IRs
• to
satisfy
reporting
requirements
from
RCUK
• principles:
• the
minimum
disruption
to
IRs
needed
to
approach
these
goals
• pragmatism
over
elegance
• an
interim
solution

4. RIOXX: current status
• has
delivered:
• a
set
of
guidelines
for
repository
managers:
• how
to
describe
open-­‐access
papers
• primarily
for
reporting
to
RCUK
• a
metadata
application-­‐pro=ile
to
support
this
• an
‘authority
Qile’
of
funders’
names
• plugins
for
EPrints
&
DSpace
• has
reached
v
1.0
following
an
open
consultation
• deQines
some
new
elements:
• funder,
projectid,
support
for
ORCID
&
other
identiQier
schemes

5. V4OA (Vocabularies for Open Access)
• closed
consultation
with
major
stakeholders,
intended
to
reach
consensus
on
either
the
selection
or
development
of
vocabularies
• concentrating
on
licensing
&
vocabs/terms
to
indicate
‘open-­‐accessness’,
e.g.
• how
to
characterise
APC
payments
• how
to
handle
embargoes
• how
to
describe
‘versions’
(pre-­‐prints,
post-­‐prints
etc.)
• how
to
assert
types
of
access/permissions
• consultation
will
move
to
open
&
public
phase
in
August
2013
• due
to
report
in
September
2013
• will
appear
at
http://www.v4oa.net

6. RIOXX: potential for work beyond July 2013
• implement
outcomes
from
the
V4OA
project
(after
August
2013)
-­‐
RCUK
very
interested
in
this.
• implement
a
CERIF
expression
of
RIOXX
• implement
or
support
a
national
aggregation
• however:
• funding
for
RIOXX
has
now
come
to
an
end
• although
Jisc
and
RCUK
have
expressed
a
desire
to
see
further
development,
nothing
has
been
agreed.
• I
have
undertaken
with
Jisc
to
maintain
the
RIOXX
&
V4OA
websites
for
the
next
year.
