4. How it all started:
Institutional Repositories Workshop (IRW’09)

5. http://repinf.pbworks.com/Repository-handshake

6. SONEX are…
As of Nov'09 the workgroup coordinator Pablo
de Castro changed affiliation from Spanish
National Research Council (CSIC) to Carlos III
University Madrid, and Richard Jones
(Symplectic Ltd) became a member of the
group in Apr'10 replacing Jim Downing.

7. How SONEX fits into the JISC Deposit Programme

8. SONEX: Scholarly Output Notification
and Exchange
• The goal: populating (then) nearly-empty repositories - focus on
research papers (the multi-authored, multi-institution default case study)
• The procedure: an international think-tank with own institutional
activity in the area and international connections to running projects
- Identifying deposit opportunities as deposit use cases
- The group philosophy: not a coding project (not even a
project)
- "no power, no responsibility" - because of that we had
influence and language

9. SONEX: Scholarly Output Notification
and Exchange
• Dissemination and networking - a
big workgroup objective:
- OR10,
- DL.org,
- COAR WG2…

10. The SONEX paper:
deposit-related interoperability in a nutshell

12. SONEX usecase-based interop analysis

13. SONEX usecase scenario I: publisher-driven deposit
OA-RJ workflow PEER workflow

14. SONEX usecase scenario I: publisher-driven deposit

15. SONEX usecase scenario II: CRIS/IR integration
(from: “KE CRIS-OAR [publication metadata] interoperability
project” presentation, CRIS2010 Aalborg, Denmark, June 2-5,
2010)

16. SONEX usecase scenario II: CRIS/IR integration

17. SONEX usecase scenario III:
Funder-mandated deposit
• Meeting funder mandates
• Subject-based repositories as a potential document source
SONEX usecase scenario IV:
Deposit via personal software
• Direct ingest from author’s desktop
• Strongly relying upon Sword-based
workflow

18. (Potential) SONEX usecase scenario V:
are IRs a proper target for research data deposit?

19. Summing up: Section 1 on SONEX work
• Began with interoperability deposit opportunity as the priority
• Take the multi-authored, multi-institution research paper as default
• Review existing deposit projects
• Develop use case analysis
• Key was think not have to do the work ourselves: think tank that
helped form framwork and language
• JISC then acted to commission a set of deposit projects along
SONEX identified deposit worklines

26. Measuring success of strategies to promote deposit
• Measuring success for particular deposit strategies:
much harder than getting a general picture
• Specific questions should be asked to repository managers, such as:
- was any given automated deposit strategy used for content
ingest purposes?
- could an approximate amount of items thus ingested be
estimated as a percentage of total item input?

29. SONEX Extension to
Research Data Mgt

30. SONEX Extension to Research Data Mgt
• SONEX commissioned by the JISC to perform a similar analysis on RDM
• Same JISC programme architecture: the JISC MRD Programme

31. SONEX Extension to Research Data Mgt

32. What SONEX does for JISC MRD
• Reporting on meetings, activities,
new approaches the SONEX way:
with a focus on international
connections and connecting the
analysis to previous work
• Joint SONEX-Sword work for
analysis of Dataset deposit use cases
• Providing a conceptual framework
to Research Data Management
• Examination of specific issues: are
IRs suitable for research data storage
and management?

33. What SONEX does for JISC MRD

34. What SONEX does for JISC MRD

35. A final reflection on RDM/Open Data and Open Access
(are we wrt Open Data where OA was 10 yrs ago?)
OPEN DATA <> OPEN ACCESS
(“shared” vs “repositories”, © PMR)
BUT:
- Berlin Declaration shows
shared goals
- Same workteams on both
arenas
- Open movements feed back
each other
- Synergies seeked and needed

48. Stakeholder Analysis: what we learned
Validated the Repository Landscape
Proved initial understanding correct
Reassurance that there were no gaps in understanding or
landscape mapping
How to take this forward ?
Concentrate on use cases based on functional areas,
eg publisher deposits, PIs, IR manager benchmarks, funder
requires statistics
Needed to sketch the vision of what can be provided
in order to extract user requirements within and beyond what is
done by existing components in the functional areas

52. The purposes and functions of OpenDepot.org are two-fold:
1. a repository function
to ensure that all researchers can do Open Access
– whether or not they belong to an institution with a repository
2 a discovery/re-direct function
to help populate Institutional Repositories (IRs)
The Repository Junction Broker is
used in OpenDepot.org for re-direct
and has been developed as separate
middleware
