A CERIF Description of an OA Policy to Ease Monitoring Compliance

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-03-22

Summary:

"The PASTEUR4OA project (Open Access Policy Alignment Strategies for European Union Research) aims to support the European Commission's Recommendation to Member States of July 2012 that they develop and implement policies to ensure Open Access (OA) to all outputs from publicly-funded research.

PASTEUR4OA is helping develop and/or reinforce open access strategies and policies at the national level and facilitate their coordination among all Member States. It is building a network of centres of expertise in Member States that will develop a coordinated and collaborative programme of activities in support of policymaking at the national level under the direction of project partners. It aims at documenting and analysing OA policies, and then at encouraging policies to strengthen the degree of openness and coverage.

In order to do this – and regarding the heterogeneity of policies and their evolution through time – it is necessary to have a canonical representation of each policy. Using CERIF to describe an OA policy requirements will thus facilitate the monitoring of the compliance to the policy, especially for institutions using a CERIF-based CRIS.

This document will first introduce a schema for Open Access policies that has been developed, and make a focus on its formalisation using the CERIF data model. A second part will describe the modules developed to build a demonstration system that includes OA policies expressed in CERIF."
