Document Deposit Assistant (DDA) für Open Access full texts

目的：由于缺少网络接口，数据库和元数据格式的互操作性不足，将全文和元数据包含到存储库中是一个挑战——特别是对于中等规模的出版商、研究单位和编辑。DDA项目旨在建立一个开放获取全文和元数据的自存储平台，以减少将这些内容集成到存储库中的劳动密集型人工集成。因此，DDA充当内容提供者和存储库之间的代理，类似于欧盟资助的PEER-project中的peer - repository。与peer项目不同，DDA旨在建立一个可持续的存款基础设施，特别是针对小型出版商和合作伙伴。方法：为了导入和索引无法通过个人自上传合理集成的大量文档，我们计划建立并运行一个交互式自存储门户，允许不同数据格式的自动集成。DDA由两个部分组成：(1)一个带有交互式问卷助理（在线向导）的网络平台，以查找内容提供者使用的系统/数据库，并指导他提供数据的可能方法；(2)一个上传平台和一个转换器，以导入和发布存储库中的数据。结果：通过其描述的功能，DDA是开放访问转换的基本部分，因为它帮助内容提供者将全文和元数据整体导入到存储库中。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，研究成果也可以在二次出版权的基础上免费提供。后一种类型的资料将由机构图书馆收集，然后交付到一个储存库。开放获取的障碍，如工作量大的单次上传，以及内容提供商对自己技术可能性的不了解，将会减少。在此之前，这些障碍只能通过密集的咨询和人工转换来处理，而DDA将使这些程序自动化。这将使合作伙伴能够独立行动，并为存储库管理人员喜欢的自助服务哲学做出贡献。

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.
