 So welcome to this open air provide the community call so dedicated to the relevant updates for our community so our managers of data sources that are contributing with content to open air. So just to discuss some of the recent developments novelties that we have in our in our services everything that comes to. Our providers, not only the dashboard that provide the sport itself as a service. With some added value functionalities, but also so guidelines interoperability guidelines and other. Staff around the support to our content providers so usually we dedicate some time to some updates, I think what what is relevant here is just to share with you that we are progressing with in some updates in in our better installation. To align with some of the work that we have in in us in European open science cloud as the open air. Is an important provider of the the us ecosystem, so we have some important work that we are doing in the in the side of open air provide to align with with that work and so soon. The coming the so during October and then November, we will have some some novelties one of the main novelties, for example, is for to to to to register repositories not now we don't have a difference between. The registration process between data repositories or that archives and publication because it was only we'll have all in the in the same place, gathering the information from the three main alternative directories so we don't have only open door and we three data for publications and data repositories, but we have also fair sharing so these three alternative directors will be. The entry point to the registration process and we will present this for sure in the coming weeks in the during the this month and you will see that the difference in the in the provide dashboard. So we will have other other novelties but we can we can talk about them in November in the call November so every month in the first Wednesday of the month we have this community calls. Where we discuss and we present this development, we have a main topic, the main topic of today is the pre systems and the the way to integrate them in open air so the work that we are doing with our crease this collaboration quite fruitful collaboration. We have finally we have everything in in place or almost everything in place in terms of the dashboard to proper validate and register Chris systems in open air so let's hear from from our colleagues and I passed the floor to Andreas from University of bill of health from open air provide team to to manage into present. We will have time at the end and for discussion for questions and of course if you want to put questions during the presentation in the chat just put it, because this will facilitate then the conversation. Thank you Andreas for your availability. Thank you Peter, thank you Peter for the for the introduction and also on the that you have spent time today on your on your holiday. And yes, today, the community call is a little bit specialized regarding and regarding the research information systems. And it is the first time that we have in this community called joins presentation. Together with our open air partner euro Chris. And we will take today look to only one topic. One topic is the research information systems in open air in euro Chris, we will see it in a moment. And afterwards, we would like to see look forward to see your questions and make discussion afterwards. My name is Andreas jr from Villa Fett University library in Germany, and during the open air advanced project. I was responsible for the integration of current research information systems in open air. In this case, we have some development achievements from these project. We will see it afterwards. Today, and I'm very happy that we have this joint community call with zero Chris, and from your Chris. We have Pablo to cast all on the online stage with me. Hello Pablo. I'm happy that you are here and I would like to pass the floor for the first slide to you and to euro Chris. Okay, thank you. Do you see yourself. Yes. Hello, everybody. My name is Pablo the guest rose. Thanks, Andreas for the intro, Pedro as well. I'm not sharing my screen. So I'm not sharing my camera apologies because I'm on a slightly wobbly internet connection, so I wouldn't like it to crush. Open air and your Chris have memorandum of understanding. Since the spring of 2018 if I'm not mistaken. And one of the main goals of this collaboration between open air and your Chris is to try and promote Chris systems as content providers metadata providers for the open air aggregation, which of course already has a lot of additional types of content providers such as publication repositories data repositories journals, and so on and so forth. I am rather confident, most of you in the call already know about your Chris but I'd like to very briefly introduce it. Next slide and rest please. And nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands devoted to promoting collaboration across stakeholders involved in the research information management domain. And specifically devoted to promoting interoperability across Chris solutions research information management solutions through the set of standards, the same stands for the common European research information format, and the euro crisis the custodian for this standard as appointed by the European Commission back then many years ago. There is a task group within your increase that Jan Borsak leads who is in the call today I'm happy to say devoted to set if architecture, and to the kind of maintenance of set if which is kind of permanently evolving. You can see on the slides on the slide, other areas of activity for your Chris besides set if such as projects that your Chris is involved in. Maybe worth mentioning is the set if refactoring project that's young and dragon Ivano which are both leading to adapt, set if to kind of the modern times. And there is the director of research information system systems that usually maintains will be particularly relevant in today's call and we will talk a little bit more about it. In a short while, we have a publications repository of our own where we store all the presentations on the research outputs stemming from the events that we organize. The events include Chris conferences there was one in May this year as an in person event in Dubrovnik in Croatia. And there will be an autumn 2022 membership meeting next November and December towards the end of November in my man in the Netherlands. I think as mentioned he will also provide some information on this and we are hoping that we will be able to have a presentation there on the progress of Chris harvesting through open air. I think that's it from my side and dress for the time being so back to you. Thank you. Thank you Pablo. So yes. Thanks for the introduction of your Chris so most of you known also open air, but we will take a closer closer look to the path of open air open air stands for open access infrastructure for research in Europe. We're using on open access data, open data and open science and started with some pilots in late to 2006. Open Air itself does some projects in 2009. And during this time, they are open air develops a lot of services components trainings, but also open air guidelines in 2010. We are focusing on literature on open access literature repositories and the first guidelines are have focusing on this part. So after this open SC also that data sets are relevant, very relevant, and the guidelines are for data archive repositories published in 2012 in 2015 open air has this development. So current research information systems so we open SC the evolution there and Chris systems come more and more important. So the first guidelines for Chris managers are published in 2015. In 2019. There are some updating steps in the guidelines. The literature is involved to institutional and thematic repositories. So, these guidelines are not focusing anymore on literature journal articles articles and so on. We also focus on data sets and something relevant to this. And then 2018 also we are updating the guidelines for Chris managers to the current one that I'm present in a minute. In 2022 this year, we are focusing on updating the open air Chris guidelines. And we will see in a minute, what are here the major updates in the guidelines for this. Since round about 2010 open air harvesting repositories from all over the world. You will see the world map and all the repositories. All could, could be shown. Some, some repositories are highlighted some are end of the life but still exists, like the Microsoft academic graph, but open air is also integrating open citations orchards data site. So, article processing charges from the open APC project. Could harvesting SEMA or bio Xima, integrating school, school explorer. We have us integrating also the registries of week three data fair sharing grid your Chris address and draw and the directory of open access journals and many, many more that I couldn't present here today. This are these metadata from these repositories and registries will be collected on weekly basis, and will be materialized in the open air research graph. How do open air harvesting all these kinds of repositories. This is short overview about the steps that open air is doing to for creating the open air research graph. As you know, your data source Chris system, which rate repository institution or thematic or journals would be harvested on weekly basis. This harvesting has continuous validation on the meter data level. So, each of these data sources have on compatible guidelines level and thanks to our continuous validation, we could we check these newly aggregated a meter data from their repositories. From this, we make the open air research graph raw. And after this, we have some duplication procedures, the duplication on the meta data record level, but also on level of organizations. As we see meta data are exposed from different data sources but the reference article are the same. So for organizations, like for my organization, the university is called Universität Bielefeld in Germany, or the University of Bielefeld or university and so on. As you know, all these problems will be focusing there. And then we have some enrichments. Thanks to our full text mining and data and data mining. And after this, the open air research graph is in place and could be could be used by our portals. At the moment, we have around about 150 million hours at records, more than 500 million, the lateral links, 30 million pool textures and 160 million deduplicated research products. In the picture of the European Open Science Cloud, you see on the left side is the data source and followed by the harvesting, the aggregation of these data sources, based on the guidelines, interoperability guidelines. And our special talk today is the Chris guidelines. And we have some validation steps. And after this, the open air research graph or the, it's, it's one component of the European Open Science Cloud research product catalog. And it can be published and could be used by different portals on the one hand of the open open air portals like explore. We will see it later today. Also by our monitor from open air, the open science observatory, but it will also use by the European Commission funders portal. We'll also provide information to repository back to repositories or or research communities and Sarah. Today, we focusing only on the data source and the guidelines and registration based on our guidelines as said, we use common European research information model as a basis. And the common, the model has a lot of entities. If you're familiar with research information systems. There is a lot of managing of entities between different kinds. And you will see in short overview about the model and the relations between the open air guidelines with focusing on mostly on at the moment at the moment. Publications, publications and products. And also on projects, persons and organizations. That's our at the moment the main focus for the open air guidelines and the harvesting process. The guidelines are focusing also on funding and equipment or instruments. We will see a lot of development regarding instruments and equipments from area fair fair for research hardware are established during this year. So the Helmholtz metadata group will take a look closer look to instruments and we'll have make some developments there. And on funding, of course, is important for the whole process of research. A little bit at the bottom left is the entity of conferences, events, which is at the moment, it is interesting but will not be relevant for the harvesting process at the moment currently. As I said before, the open air guidelines based on the Zerif standards and first will is firstly published in 2015. The guidelines have at the moment the version number 1.1.1. And we are in the phase for updating these guidelines. One of the major updating partners to update the guidelines to the latest core capillary resource type for resource types, which is published in the last year. I'm linking also the number 999 here. It is the GitHub issue that we have for our evolution of the guidelines. The guidelines are open. Everyone everybody could contribute to these guidelines. Thanks to GitHub. And we have for all our contribution for all our contributions to the newest version of the guidelines, our GitHub repository. We make also a dedicated report on the compliance level of our open air Chris guidelines. In the context of the air of the fair principles, based on the idea fair print. They are principles. We analyze how fair are the guidelines at the moment. And have lessons learned about the boundaries of the guidelines, but also the gaps that we should have should take closer look in the evolution of the guidelines regarding further updates. Also, during our work in the update of these guidelines, we identify an issue. This is not really direct, directed to our guidelines, but it is an indirect issue that we have the way he identifier that the way PMAH protocols used is outdated. So, regarding this, we have some issues with the YPMH identifier, which is based on rare LFCs from 2000 roundabout and doing in the time of 2000. The Y, the LFCs from ITFF group are not covered domain names with numbers. So that's our restricted. But during the last 20 years, we know post names could also have numbers and so on and start with numbers. In this case, we have a very good and useful discussion with Herbert van der Sampe, which is one of the authors of the YPMH protocol. We also adding more and more examples and make a clearer description to one. All is published as a set on GitHub. The link GitHub open air guidelines for Chris managers and the directed link to the issue. So, as I said, in 2015 open air published the first guidelines for Chris systems. Currently, we are not really showing these Chris systems and integrating these systems in open air. This is achieved during the last years. And at provide at the moment, we don't see any numbers of Chris systems, but we have Chris systems in our portals. So here is a screenshot from open air Explorer. You could use our filters and filter on the latest guidelines of version one one, and you see 15 Chris systems that we are harvesting at the moment. So for this harvesting these mostly 15 Chris systems are integrated during the open air advanced phase and during the last year. And we take a closer look, how can we easily make the process of registrations in open air easily and similar to the established registration that we have, like from from open door. Or we three data or the BYJ. And in this case, we have a very good collaboration together with your Chris, because your Chris provides information about have informations about Chris systems. And in this collaboration, we are develop a further part of exchanging these information from your Chris to open air. And this is called the dress the directory of research information systems that open air is used for the registration process. And I would like to give the floor the digital floor to Pablo for to take a closer look to the dress. Thank you. So yeah, I mentioned earlier the trees that I like to research information systems as one of the kind of main areas of activity for your Chris next slide please. So this is a screenshot from the dress. The URL will be shown in one of the subsequent slides this is basically a summary of what's available in the at the moment that are over 1200 entries in this directory. Thank you for. From many different countries as you can see on the screen charts and also many different software solutions. So the idea is that there is a single. That actually same as open door for literature repositories or we three data for data repositories where all the relevant systems are collected so that it's possible to collect a snapshot of what's what infrastructure is available out there. And what the distribution is by countries or by Chris software solutions. And this is a role that your Chris are going to be staking. Also keeping in mind that we consider this to be working progress. So it's very difficult for us to keep track of every single system every single Chris system that gets launched or that gets moved into production at every single institution in the world, unless we are told about it. And this is why our next slide please address. So we have put together a mechanism that I will show in in the next couple of slides to for institutions or funders or national offices to provide us some details on new systems that should be added to the dress. On the page for the dress you have this map as well, where the distribution across the world is shown for Chris system infrastructure. This is mostly, or most advanced in Europe. Although it doesn't mean that there isn't any great infrastructure elsewhere, particularly in India you can see the figures are quite remarkable. The name, I mean the euro in euro Chris hints at the fact that Chris infrastructure started first in Europe and is is most sophisticated in Europe at the moment. Next slide please. I mentioned at the moment we have over 1220 trees entries, which is definitely a lot of them covering all the worlds. You have an example there the two first ones as listed on the search are from Columbia and from Norway. This is just a bit of a random screenshot. Next slide please. This is kind of the insight on how address record looks like. This is actually one of the first Chris systems in the Netherlands as right about university in in I'm making in the Netherlands. That's made kind of early developments in terms of being registered and harvested by opener. And hence the open air batch on the records in the dress for this for the specific Chris system. As you can see, we tried to keep the metadata in address records to a reasonable minimum. Because otherwise it's really difficult to keep it up to date. If we include elements like number of database transactions. This is going to become instantly outdated, and we would then need to rely on somebody at the Chris to provide us updated figures for, you know, specific metadata fields on a regular basis and this is very difficult. It's hard enough to have a contact person here so Ed Siemens, former year Chris president listed here as contact person for Metis at right about is no longer the right contact person. But it's it's very difficult to keep track of over 1200 Chris entries in terms of who the contact person who the appropriate person is for each of and every one of them. When these keep changing. Next slide please. So this is the reason why. Next. We provide a mechanism for new three centuries to be registered through an online form which is linked at the top of the slide, or by dropping us a line through the your Chris mailbox at your Chris at your Chris dog. The recommended way forward is to register a new Chris through the online form as linked at the top of the slide. If you don't see that it or you don't get any message regarding it. Please drop us a line at the your Chris mailbox, because sometimes there's a lot of messages coming in. And it's not always possible to react to every single message coming in. So this is a form that is linked at the top of the mobility of the slide. There is a list of six minimally sufficient methods elements needed to create a tree's entry, which are the ones anybody interested in providing a new entry should provide us so that we can add it to the dress. The type of Chris. Most of them are institutional but you have other options as well regional, national fund decrees and aggregation international that are several types of Chris systems. What organization is actually using or hosting the Chris place. Chris name what software solution has been used to develop the Chris can it can be an in house build solution or an open source system or commercial platform. Then you have the stages, namely whether it's operational or under construction and finally the URL for the publicly available portal. This is something that is not mandatory, but we tend to recommend for any trees entry to have a public research portal so to speak so that's the Chris helps raising the visibility of the research that is carried out at the institution. Besides providing data for internal decision making processes strategic decision making process based on evidence. One specific elements for open air harvesting purposes that is not shown on three centuries is the endpoint URL that needs to be enabled for a Chris to be harvested. That's the metadata feeds coming out of the system. We don't want to compromise safety of the craze. So we don't show it. If you've seen the example that's Andrea showed earlier for the ice tech G Chris in Turkey, the endpoint URL was shown there in the somebody maybe you can go back a couple of slides under us so that attendees can see the endpoint here where you can see the PMH URL that's the endpoint URL through which are given Chris is going to be harvested in the case of this one. This is a deep space Chris based Chris system. It's much easier to manage. Deep space Chris is essentially based on the way I PMH same as literature repository same as data repositories on the PMH as you know we know I PMH stands for protocol for metadata harvesting. So it's kind of compliant out of the box, Andreas will let us know a little bit more about it in a second. Can we please go back to the slide I was in apologies for, you know, the slides. We are not normally showing. We're not showing this endpoint URL in the trees. In order not to compromise safety. Next please. Yeah I think that's yours already Andreas, please. The floor is yours. Thank you. Thank you Pablo. Yes so regarding the PMH endpoint that we are showing here. In the programmatic way. The, the given well is mostly or the given or the repository site has a wide listed IP address range of our aggregation system so not, not everybody could have a thing or contact your Chris systems. But in some cases is open in some cases, there's closed only for harvesting from open air. So there could be different solutions for this. So the research information systems at open air. Is something like that comes something like out of the box. As I mentioned in open air advanced we have some developments. During the phase, especially for the space Chris. So in this space Chris since version 5.10 or 6.3 was an out of the box. expose exposing the metadata out of the box. Regarding and compliant our guidelines or Chris guidelines in the version 1.1 from the DSPACE Chris community I saw any I saw some developments that are that is also integrate the solution in the space seven. We also know that pure from as we have a compliant endpoint since version 5.14 omegas here since version 1.2. And I think there's something more that we don't know at the moment that are compliant out of the box with our guidelines. And from the euro Chris dress, you'll see here some the software platforms. And we would like to know more about of Chris platforms and haven't dedicated Google cheat with support with no review of repository platforms. Their versions and the supported guidelines. You will share this also in the chat. In a moment. To join open air. And the European science cloud with your products. You can, you can go to our provide portal. We are in the provide community call today. You know, and I think you know it all you can register there. You can manage the date your data source at provide. You could have more information about your usage counts you have possibilities to validate your endpoints. Regarding our guidelines or have first pair assistance overlook about your metadata in your Chris guidelines. In detail. In our in provides we have the registry register page, which provides the Chris systems. This Chris system, if you click on this one will show on a page, which you collect the country. Take you in the Netherlands. And the your from the your Chris dress. There was the listed. Research information systems from from the Netherlands. You can take one, your repository. And makes the, and the forms of automatically fill it out by the information from the dress that our public is showing before. I take here another way PMH endpoint, but it is well it you can select some sets if there's a set selection on this one. You should take a look to our terms of use that we introduced in June of this year, and they reuse and click on finish to register your repository in open air for harvesting. After this, we take a closer look to your endpoint and will harvesting on a weekly basis, your data source. And after this, the data, the metadata is harvested from your Chris system. We. You could see this metadata provided in our portals, as I shown before in the overview slides of the European Open Science Club. Now we take a look to questions. We have heard some questions before. Why should I want my institution Chris system to be harvested by open air if my institution repository is already open air compliant regarding our guidelines, literature guidelines or institutional and thematic guidance. This is a good question that we have got from you. And as we shown before, the Chris could offer more than only publications and data sets. We also provide information about research projects also about organizations also about equipment instruments facilities and so on. So the research, the Chris system is has more added value for open air. And you could see at the moment here in the picture visualization of entities in the pit graph from August 2020 between the relations of publications data sets of their organizations and persons and funders. And this could be also enhanced with research instruments, conferences, and so on that would be exposed by the YPMH endpoint. So on the one hand, you have the opportunity to join both communities. I say one in an easy step. On the one hand, the your Chris community, which offers the knowledge about research formation management systems. And on the other hand, the open air community that fostering both to open science, open access and open data. So the fair science. You could also participate in the further development of our guidelines. And we offer training and support for metadata operability. In this case, please contact our help desk system at help desk open air. Because your research will be fairly available through the European science cloud as a show and also before to join the communities as a one step to join the community calls. Similar to today. So you could subscribe to our newsletters of open air. And you can also subscribe to the newsletter from your Chris. And as Pablo said, your Chris have strategic membership meeting in November 30 to December 1 in Nimving the Netherlands. And you find more information on the your Chris site for this. In this case, I will thank you, Pablo. For presenting your Chris here and take a closer look to the through the dress. And hopefully, Andre. Yes, Andre. Thank you Andre for sharing the the document for making notes and questions. So. Thank you very much. And we could start to open the floor for questions. We already have a question in our meeting notes in the shot. We only have our comments and contributions with useful links but we have a question from our document. Let me take me a look to this one. Yeah, thanks Heinrich. Henry is asking, what are the difference between open air guidelines for and harvesting from Chris managers and work from data repositories. Okay, as I said, the Chris, or there is Chris format that is based for the guidelines could exposing more information regarding the persons like persons like projects. Assessment and so on. With the data repositories at the moment, you could refer to these kinds of information. The Chris endpoint could provide this information. That's two different things. So, in terms of data repositories and we could take a look to the related identifier field and make some. We look to the to these passes and identifier. But if you, if we don't have any object of these identifier in the open air research graph we could not connect this could not establish this connection from the Chris part. The Chris endpoint could offer on the one hand the metadata related to this record. And we have the whole information on the Chris endpoint, instead of the endpoint of data repository or institutional repository itself. This answer your question. Otherwise, please open your microphone and Yes, thanks. Thanks, Andrea. So more or less is answered. So, but this value showed the examples of Chris which have as well data set so it's not always clear to differ what is the risk or Chris. I don't actually know what the current means anyway. And what is the data repository so often it's both. Okay, but maybe this is not an important. One differences of course the Chris have to compete compliant with CRF. So data repositories often, but but sometimes, yeah, you know. Yeah, anyway, so it's not a clear difference for me between a The, as I said, this is a good question. So, so we should make clear statements regarding why should we harvesting from a Chris endpoint instead of the data repository endpoint. Like, maybe. Yeah. Okay, thanks. But my question is answered. Thank you. For other questions. Yeah, please. Yeah. If I may comment on this on the difference between Chris and repository. It's typically names that supporting the internal processes of the institution with regard to research and also has the component of showing the outside world. What is happening at the institution. Sometimes this is being done through sort of research portal for the institution. Sometimes the information goes to national or regional crates. And some crisis, certainly hope to make the dissemination through open air. We've had many discussions about that in Europe Chris. So the understanding is that it's the research information about research that is of current interest. Yes, thank you. The relevant today is being planned currently. But most of the things you said is are well as well valid for data repositories or not. Yeah. Okay, maybe we just should not go deep into this discussion. It's not that important to have the difference between so amazing systems and data repositories. But I can see some aspects why you, Andreas, why you differ between both. Okay, just so longer this touch discussion, I think. Thanks. So we take a note to make it clear. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Any further questions regarding the research information systems. Silence says no. I will also take the floor wider open to all data source managers that are in an open air so not only dedicated yet to research information is there any any questions or any other questions to discuss. Yes, but I think if we don't have any other question we can we can close I think it was quite comprehensive so everyone knows that are that we're interested here to join open air and to register they know what to do I think it was clear from the point of view of the air or crease directory, and then from our point of view I think it's good that we have this clear path from the trees to the registration in open air provide. We really want to have more systems integrated in in our open infrastructure in open air. I think all the information was quite comprehensive and I think we have this support information and these instructions I think everything is clear. It's great also that some of them off the crease software platforms also already compliant with the need open air which is which is great also so recordings will be made available slides also so you have several links here to support information. I think, I think, Andreas. We are done. So thank you people so we are on time. One hour, so if there are no further things to discuss. I think we could close the community call for today, and looking forward on our email accounts for contacting us regarding the frustration of Christmas in open air, and I would like to thank you. Andrew and Andrew for your time today. And also, Ian and Pablo from your Chris side that you could join you could join this meeting. Yeah, looking forward to hear from you all. Thank you very much.
