OF USE
Repositories in OpenAIRE may
be interested to acquire
metadata information about
publications that are
“potentially of interest
to them”
i.e. be part of their collection:
add new records, enrich the
records with extra metadata
information.
SCENARIOIDEA

4. What is “potentially of interest” ?
OpenAIRE metadata records about publications that
• has been collected from the repository and has been enriched by OpenAIRE;
• has an author whose organization has a given institutional repository of
reference (affiliation);
• has an author with a given institutional repository of reference;
• has been funded by a project whose participants (organizations that are
beneficiaries of the grant) have a given institutional repository of reference.

5. Literature broker service
•Enrichment is straightforward
• Harvesting from repository and return to repository its records if
they have been “enriched” by deduplication and/or inference
•Addition is less obvious
• Based on relationships, in turn identified by inference algorithms
• Must be augmented with notion of “trust” to enable “tuning”
options in order to reduce false positive notifications

10. Subscription & notification
Repositories can subscribe to the service and receive notifications
about records of potential interest and specify
• what metadata fields they would like to be notified of
• how to be notified.
The service can notify the repositories in different ways
• via custom (OpenAIRE defined) repository APIs for metadata ingestion
• via email to the repository managers and via web interface.
