Document Deposit Assistant (DDA) für Open Access full texts

目的：由于缺少网络接口以及数据库和元数据格式互操作性不足，将全文和元数据纳入储存库是一项挑战--特别是对中型出版商、研究单位和编辑而言。DDA项目旨在建立一个开放获取全文和元数据的自存平台，以减少将这些内容整合到储存库的劳动密集型人工。因此，DDA充当内容提供商和存储库之间的中间人，类似于欧盟资助的对等项目中的对等仓库。与同行项目不同，DDA旨在建立一个可持续的押金基础设施，特别是针对小型出版商和合作伙伴。做法：为了导入和编制大量文件的索引，而这些文件不能通过个人自助上传合理地整合，我们计划建立和运行一个互动的自助存入门户，允许自动整合不同的数据格式。DDA由两个部分组成：(1)一个网络平台，带有一个基于问卷的交互式助理(在线向导)，以了解内容提供者使用的系统/数据库，并指导他以可能的方式提供其数据；(2)一个上传平台和一个转换器，用于导入和发布储存库中的数据。结果：凭借其描述的功能，DDA是开放访问转换的基础部分，因为它帮助内容提供商将全文和元数据整块导入到存储库中。这意味着出版商、期刊和研究单位的隐藏内容可以在网络上免费提供，也可以根据二次出版权免费提供研究成果。后一种类型将由机构图书馆收集，然后交付到储存库。开放访问的障碍将会减少，比如工作密集、单次上传以及内容提供商对自己的技术可能性一无所知。然而，在这些障碍之前，只能通过密集的咨询和手动转换来处理，DDA将自动执行这些程序。这将使合作伙伴能够独立行动，并为存储库经理青睐的自助服务理念做出贡献。

Aim: Due to missing web-interfaces and the insufficient interoperability of databases and metadata formats the inclusion of full texts and metadata into repositories is a challenge - especially for me-dium-sized publishers, research units and editors. The project DDA aims to establish a self-deposit-platform for open access full-texts and metadata in order to reduce labor-intensive manual integration of these into the repositories. As such the DDA works as a broker between the content-providers and repositories similar to the EU-financed PEER-depot within the PEER-project. Unlike the PEER-project the DDA aims to establish a sustainable deposit-infrastructure and especially addresses small publishers and partners. Approach: In order to import and index larger quantities of documents that cannot sensibly be integrated by individual self-upload we plan to establish and run an interactive self-deposit-portal which allows automated integration of different data formats. The DDA consists of two compo-nents: (1) a web-platform with an interactive questionnaire-based assistant (online wizard) to find out about the systems/databases used by the content-provider and guide him to the possible ways of delivering his data and (2) an upload platform and a converter to import and publish the data in the repositories. Results: With its described functionality DDA is a fundamental piece of the open-access-transformation as it helps the content provider to import full texts and metadata en bloc into the repositories. This means that yet hidden content of publishers, journals and research units can be made freely available in the web ¿ as well as research output on the basis of the right of secondary publishing. The latter type would be gathered by the institutional libraries and then delivered into a repository. Barriers to open access like work intensive single uploads and the unawareness on behalf of the content-provider of their own technical possibilities will be reduced. Whereas before these barriers could only be handled through intensive counseling and manual converting the DDA will automate these procedures. This will enable partners to act independently and contribute to the self-service philosophy favored by repository managers.
