In Germany 2011 important priorities were set to realize green publications in the open access movement: With financial support from the German Research Foundation (DFG) libraries negotiated so-called Alliance licenses with publishers that seal extensive open access rights. Authors of institutions, that have therewith access to licensed journals, can freely publish their articles without or after only a short embargo period in a repository of their choice. However, the group of legitimated authors hesitantly uses its open access rights. Also the libraries ¿ as manager of institutional and subject based repositories and thus representatives for the legitimated authors ¿ only rarely make use of these rights. With DeepGreen the applicants aim to actually make the majority of those publications available online. Together with publishers of the Alliance licenses and authorized libraries the project group prototypically wants to develop a nearly fully automated workflow that first covers the delivery of data, including the full texts, of the publishers, and secondly the data loading process into the repositories. An intermediate repository serves as a distribution platform. The national project consortium consists of two library networks (Kooperativer Bibliotheksverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (KOBV) and Bibliotheksverbund Bayern (BVB)), two universities (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin)), the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB) and a non-university research institution (GeoForschungs-Zentrum Potsdam (GFZ)).
