“ Knowledge dissemination must not be viewed as an adjunct to research; rather, it must be treated as an integral part of the knowledge creation process, along with access to knowledge. The emerging vision for the future is one of a highly complex research environment that is integrated with comprehensive research dissemination.”

- National Research Platform Report 2009

All-Island Expertise Portal: http://www.expertiseireland.com

What’s the issue?

“Providing the public with digital access to a collection of images is a necessity, but simply publishing them online doesn't make them accessible…”- Charlotte Sexton, Deputy Head New Media, The National Gallery

Interoperability…

What’s the solution?

“… the ability of systems, services and organisations to work together seamlessly toward common or diverse goals”.

Interoperability for discovery of and access to images

Requires OPEN STANDARDS for both

1. Communication between systems (digital archives, repositories, etc.)

and

2. Description of resources and collections

OAI Metadata Harvesting – What is it?

• OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative

• Based on standards that are Open and freely available

• Can support any metadata schema

• Can be incremental

• Supports federated discovery services based on aggregated and shared metadata

Objectives

To work together for the discovery, retrieval and use of research theses from European universities Working in an Open Access environment Work underpinned by the Berlin Declaration on

Open Access European in scope – at present Aligned with national E-Theses developments in

each member country To provide a ‘vanilla’ service, fully Open Access,

which is free at point of use To develop a business model for Value-Added
