“the goal of the OAi is to contribute in a concrete manner to the transformation of scholarly communication”
“promotes and encourages the development of author self-archiving solutions”
“as a means of increasing the availability of scholarly communication”
“genuine building blocks of a transformed scholarly communication model”
OAI ideology
Making Connections - Open Archives - April 10, 2003
4
Roots in the pre-print (scholarly) community & the library community
Increase visibility of scientific output. Improve speed and reach of scholarly
communication. Improvement of knowledge infrastructure. Social responsibility: improve access to scientific
information.
OAI ideology

5
Position in international knowledge/info economy. Existing model is too expensive (‘serials crisis’) ,
too slow, and excludes users of scientific information.
Putting pressure on the existing model. Development of a new model. Different relationship with publisher.

Quality of services = Quality of metadata.
Institutional repositories don’t have to be an alternative to disciplinary repositories.
Long term funding, organisational commitment, long term preservation.

University of Amsterdam (UvA) proposal based on our experience with among others the Exact Sciences Pre-Print Server (Béta Preprint Server):
Difficult to convince scientists Vital to embed the process in the organisation It must be easy Ideology is not sufficient: there must be something
in it for the scientist

UvA proposal: University Scientific Archive
Create 2 separate steps in the process: 1. submission into the archive - 2. make the document available for external use
Make the metadata immediately available Make life easy: input of metadata via METIS Create services for scientists based on the
metadata (and the document): ‘My publications’ lists; linking services; ‘notify a colleague’; printing on demand service for dissertations; …

UvA proposal: University Scientific Archive
Develop and implement university-wide policy Work on changing culture: full-service for 100
selected researchers (retrospective input of metadata and publications, obtain permissions from journals/publishers)
DARE - Digital Academic Repositories
Aside: Linking services (OpenURL)

Example: University Library, University of Amsterdam
Fits extremely well within Digital Library concept & infrastructure: distributed, integration layer, based on open international standards (Z39.50, SRU, OpenURL, MARC, Dublin Core, XML, … , OAI)
