[GOAL] DINI certificate on document and publication services in a French version

[The following announcement was made by the German Initiative for Network Information (DINI) with regard to the French translation of the newest version of the “DINI - Certificate Document and Publication Services 2010” developed by the Working Group on Electronic Publishing.] “The DINI network working group on electronic publishing launched a French version of its certificate ‘Document and Publication Services 2010’. The French version is available at the following address http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/docviews/abstract.php?id=39243 Reminder: the English version is here http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/docviews/abstract.php?lang=ger&id=37800 The certificate describes technical as well as organizational and legal aspects that should be considered when setting up and running a sustained Document and Publication Service, in particular an institutional repository.” An excerpt from the abstract for the 2010 edition describing updates to the new version reads as follows:”The growing importance of the ‘golden road’ to Open Access. This second main strategy in Open Access is the primary publication of scientific articles in Open Access journals, but in principle includes Open Access publication of other document types (e. g. monographs, anthologies) as well. Analog to print publications these primary online publications usually undergo a quality assurance process for the most part in so-called peer-review processes. The German Science Foundation support Open Access publication with a structure-forming funding procedure. The 2010 edition of the certificate for Document and Publication Services also includes the golden road to Open Access along institutional (e. g. university publishing houses) or discipline specific lines. [1] The increased demand for interoperability with comprehensive services. These services–especially search and catalog but also other added-value services–are especially important for locally provided publications. They are being implemented mostly within service-oriented infrastructures for electronic publications; on a national level this is the case in the Open Access Netzwerk project, on a European level within the DRIVER project. The quality of these services depends on the provided data and their standardization. Against this background, this certificate edition's guidelines for the OAI interface were amended and adapted to the DRIVER Guidelines. [2] The growing technical virtualization of Document and Publication Services; this includes the use of one technical infrastructure by many Document and Publication Services. Despite this development, modularizing the certificate was refrained from. However, the option exists that more than one person can fill out the application form, should competencies and responsibilities for the operation of a Document and Publication Service be divided among more than one institution. [3] A comprehensive view of the scientific and scholarly research processes. In addition to the text-oriented publications as the ‘classical’ products of scientific and scholarly communication this brings their bases and production stages into the picture. Especially scientific data and research data resp., their organization and their use are of increasing importance for further research . Science's ever progressing digitization and the virtual research environments it creates give rise to new possibilities in dealing with these data and open up innovative paths in research to scientists and scholars. The collaborative evaluation of research data in international and interdisciplinary projects is but one example for the possibilities of a digital research data management. The DINI Certificate's new edition, like the earlier editions, centers on Document and Publication Services that focus on the provision of text-oriented publications. However, the analog transfer of each individual criterion's requirements and recommendations allows for the certification of data-oriented publication services as well.”
