 We will discover, explore, discover service, the research community dashboard or connect for those who know it and the provide dashboard. So we start first with Explore and Katerina. Okay, hi everyone. I am Katerina Yadropoulou from Athena Research Center and together we'll see a bit about Explore and how you can discover the Opener Research Graph through Explore. If we want to make an overview, the Opener Explorer has two parts, let's say. The one is the Opener Search Portal for Open Access Scholarly Works globally. You can see here the website, the URL for the website. And last year we had a little bit more than half a million users, unique users. And it is also the other part is the Opener APIs that you can see under develop.opener.eu where last year we had 25 million unique paid views for our APIs. And some of the APIs, in particular the Opener Search API, is directly connected to the EU Participant Portal. Of course, it is open and free for everyone. There are certain functionalities that are accessible only to registered users, but of course the registration is free. And soon we will introduce better rate limits for requests to our APIs that are authenticated. So Opener Explorer enables research discovery for all and therefore making Open Access research accessible in Europe and beyond. And in Opener Explorer users can query and navigate the Opener Research Graph, but they can also enhance the Research Graph by claiming semantic links between the entities of our Graph. So it is ideal for researcher, research community, project managers, founder, content providers and all of the users who are interested in the research outcomes. To use the Opener Explorer you can directly visit and navigate the Opener Explorer portal where you can find search forms where you can put your keywords, make keyword search, and you can find filters. There for every research output you will find dedicated page where all the metadata and all the links to the other research outcomes are available. And if we want to zoom in such a page, here is an example where apart from the part of the metadata that are visible there, you can also see on the right hand side of the screen the action that a user can do to enhance the record that is visible. And therefore enhance the already existing entities in the Opener Research Graph. For the Opener APIs you can visit develop.openereu where you can see the documentation and ways to access all of our APIs. Apart from ops, sorry, not good with cameras. Okay, so we have the linked open data API, the search APIs where you can look for projects and research outcomes. And we have also links there to the dumps that you can find Isenodo as previously said. For the functionalities that I mentioned that specific users need to be registered. For that reason you can authenticate through the EOS partners account. So our position in the Opener ecosystem, you can see that basically we are a service on top of the Opener Research Graph. But apart from only displaying the contents of the Opener Research Graph, we have also functionalities to enhance them. And also in many cases we are the place where not only the research graph but other services of Opener can show their results. For example, we display certain resources, statistics or usage metrics for the records that we display. For that to become true, we basically build on top of the indexing that it is available on the research graph and of course on top of the APIs of the other services that are available in Opener. So for EOS, we can say that it gives EOS users access and enhancement functionality to EOS resources. So the takeaway message that I can give you is that you can use explore discovery services to find and enhance open scholarly works. So thank you very much, Katarina. What I realized for discovery is that no, it's not just discover and find the search data. It's beyond that. It's also use the orchid, use the bit and all, use more add-ons services on top of explore. And it will be nice for all the people that attend this live event to send us any extra features, requirements that they would like to see on explore, something that will be the next big add-on on explore. It would be really nice for us to have this nice feedback in the future. Yes, it's true that it not only is the place to see Opener research graph and some of the results of other Opener services, but we are also connected to third parties like orchid, which will be the next big addition to Opener explore, where the users will come and claim their works through the Opener portals, the Opener explore portal. And also we have annotation services like be to note just to mention some of the most, let's say striking ones. Thank you, Andronik. Yeah, thank you very much. And now we can continue with the research community dashboard or the well-known connect and Alessia. Okay, so I am Alessia Bardi from the Institute of Information Science and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council. And I'm presenting the connect service, which is also called the research community dashboard. And what is this service for? It delivers on demand Opener research gateways for research communities. And each gateway is basically a community specific slice of the Opener research graph. And in addition to the discovery portal, we also include in the gateway tools to support the implementation of open science publishing practices for specific research communities. So by the service, by the research community dashboard, you can have a web portal dedicated for your community. And the community content is also available via the Opener API that Katerina described a few minutes ago. And the dumps are also published on Zenodo. And currently we are serving 11 communities, and nine already have a public gateways, while in two cases, we are still working on that. So for example, we have the gateway about coronavirus disease for agriculture and science for digital humanities and cultural heritage and transport research, for example. While we are working together with the communities for energy sustainable energy research and science and innovation policies. So why to use the Opener Research Community dashboard? Because it lowers the barriers to open science in the research community. So we all know how difficult it is to discover scientific data and literature that are relevant because we are in a literature data deluge. And the research products are scattered across different sources. And thanks to the research graph, we are putting these all together again. And this enables to effectively really build a collection, a graph that is relevant for the community. And of course, we also address the lack of community awareness. And with awareness, I mean, the awareness of open science practices, but also awareness of the community itself. Because being able to build the community, grow the community, and being part of something that is more than a set of users is very important. And we help in doing this. And the last barriers that we try to put down is the lack of open science publishing services and tools. So for those communities that do not have a research infrastructure, so really offering some open science services, we offer support for their implementation. And we also offer ready to use services. And why it is unique? It is unique because the community creators have full control on the gateway. They have full control on the configuration in terms of content, functionality, and soon also for the look and feel. Already in part, but we will make it even more configurable. So how to use it? So the research community dashboard and all the public gateways are accessible via the Connect web portal. So connect.openair.eu and also through the eOS portal. And this is a service that you can use on request. So on connect.openair.eu, you will find a contact form where a research community can ask for more information and can request a gateway for the community. And in order to build it, we follow a participatory process. And here you can see the four main steps. So first of all, we understand the needs of the community to understand which are the gaps that they would like to address within our collaboration. We develop a pilot. We test and validate the quality of the content. So the coverage in terms of content, but also the algorithm that we apply to identify the research products that are relevant for the community. And eventually we roll out the service which may be available only to the managers at the beginning because we need to fine tune something, but eventually it will go public. And the community creators can configure a lot of things, as I was saying, and they have a dedicated administration dashboard for this. So they can set their logos. They can create the user claims. They can specify the criteria by which we should include the content in their gateway and many other things. In the end, what we get is a portal with where you can discover the research products of the community, where users can add research products that have not yet been included, thanks to the linking functionality that Katerina was also describing before for Discover, for Explore, sorry. We also have configurable menus and pages in the gateway that can host information about best practices, guidelines, suggestions to the research communities, and also a direct link where we can find information on where to deposit. So suggestions on the repositories and the archives to be used, because they are typical of the domain, but also specific Zenodo communities that are relevant for this goal. So how we are positioned in the EOS can be in the open-air ecosystem. So the research community dashboard is a service which is registered in the EOS catalog, and thanks to it we can deliver community gateways, and they are also registered in the EOS catalog. The service that is most important for the gateways is of course the open-air research graph, because basically thanks to the gateway configuration we are able to discover which are the products that are relevant for the community, and these are made available on the portal and also on dedicated dumps on Zenodo. So we have one dedicated dump for the COVID-19 community, for example, and the other communities have their content in another specific dump. The takeaway message. The research community dashboard is the open-air service that delivers configurable open-research gateways for research communities, and this is the service by which open-air supports community building, strengthening, and empowering with open science tools. Thank you very much. And let's now proceed with the provide dashboard with Pedro. Yeah, thank you, Androniki, and good afternoon. It's a pleasure to present here the open-air dashboard for content providers. I'm part of the open-air team and I'm representing here the management team of this service that mainly target content provider managers. So this dashboard, this provide dashboard is a one-stop shop web service where all the data source managers can interact with the open-air. And this web service has different open-air services and functionalities available. The first one is the possibility to use the validator. So to validate the data source against the open-air guidelines and to test the compatibility of the data source. So the first service in this dashboard is the validator. If the validation is well-suceeded, so data source can proceed to the registration process. And the second service is the registration. So it's in the open-air provide dashboard that those that want to be part of the open-air infrastructure can register their content provider repository, application repository, data repository, or open access journal, Chris system, etc. After being registered, we have here in the provide dashboard the information about the aggregation history, where the managers of each data source can track the aggregation stage, the number of records aggregated by open-air, etc. Then because we have this rich information space, this relevant research graph, we can provide the added value information back to those that are contributing with that to open-air infrastructure. And via the broker service, we can send metadata enrichments to repository managers, to content provider managers. So via the open-air dashboard, provide dashboard, we have also the broker enrichment metadata events available, which is one of the most relevant services available in provide. Then the users counts service, targeting content providers related with downloads, views, the access to different kinds of reports and in graphics are available also in provide dashboard. And of course, the broker service to be received, you can see the events, but you can also subscribe events and this will be available in the notifications. So, validate, register, collection, monitor, enrich, measure, notifications are components of this open-air dashboard that is this one-stop shop service for all content providers. So the provider's board is in fact the kind of front-end access to many of the back-end services. So you can access the broker service that is in fact the back-end service that benefit from the open-air research graph. You can access, you can test the open-air guidelines. You can better understand the policy, the data acquisition, and the data users policies that we have. So the targets are repository managers, data or literature publications, data archive managers, key system managers, so publishers, open access journals, editors, those that manage this kind of scientific information systems, libraries, national aggregators, because we have also the possibility to register aggregators. We can say that all those that are direct data sources registered in open-air can benefit from this service. We are talking about over 1500 users, direct users, and then of course we can have more. And just some highlights to the user value. So we are talking about possibility to of course to understand and to track the aggregation of each data source, but of course the most important is to improve repository collections, to comply with funder rules, requirements, to improve the visibility of each content provider via being compatible with metadata guidelines, so improve the repository interoperability. So this is a little bit of the reasons why to use the Provide dashboard. Two slides related with how to use Provide dashboard. Basically what is important to understand that this is an open service free to register and to use. Of course the component that is open or completely free to register and to use is the one related with the validator and the registration. So you can create a login, access the dashboard, and play with the validator, test your data source, and proceed for the registration. All the other features are only available after you are part of the open-air infrastructure, after you have done the registration. So first you can validate and register, and then once you are registered you can then play with all the other features and services that I have already presented. The broker events, so subscribe and refine the metadata enrichments, start receiving notifications, enable the metric service, the user's count service, and track also monitor a little bit the collection that is being aggregated by open-air. So this is important to understand this difference, what is fully available and that what is only available for those that are part of the open-air infrastructure. And then, so we have this dashboard, we are always trying to improve the dashboard to better fit the user, the end user needs. We are doing always our best running workshops and user tests to improve the capabilities of this service. What is important to say is that from the side of the validator, the registration, you are able to test compliance, to understand our policies and to provide content to open-air and to make your content and your data source more visible in this open science ecosystem. But then benefiting from being part of open-air, you can track the uses of your content via the metric service, downloads and views, and you can also check some metadata enrichments that open-air is offering to you for the fact that you are part of open-air. And being part of open-air infrastructure, benefiting from this provide dashboard, you are part of the European Open Science Cloud. So this provide service is the gateway to the to the OSC. Just to use or to use a slide that usually you present, we present when we are presenting the open-air infrastructure, just to position the open-air provide service. It's a way for you to check our policies, the guidelines, to test, to validate and to register and to be part of open-air, to have the content available in the open-air research RAF and via this you are part of the AOSC Scientific Product Catalog. And so being part of open-air is make your content visible also in AOSC and this is something that we need clearly to highlight. And to finish the takeaway, I just want to do two important highlights. One is that this service is a stable services is in production since September 2018. We are always progressing in doing some updates. We delivered a new version in May last year in May 2020 with a different layout with a more user friendly and more like a kind of dashboard to provide information to users. But we try to always to integrate improvements, not in a monthly basis, but every year we are delivering new functionalities or changing a bit some of the way that we are exposing information to the end user. So it's important to highlight that this is a community-driven service with a strong focus on the end user needs. Because we build open-air on top of the content that you are providing to open-air. So we need also to properly communicate with content provider managers and to provide also user value services. So this strong focus on user needs is also achieved by our monthly calls. We have a community calls every first Wednesday of the month. We have a community call. You can find information in this link where we present different components of the service where we get feedback from end users and where we also provide information about the novelties and the work in progress related with this service. So many thanks. This was just a short presentation of the provide dashboard. Thank you very much, Pedro. It was very interesting. Thank you. And now we can start our Q&A session. Yes, all the questions have been answered in the chat. So we're being very efficient. So we pass on to Menti now. As I said, we're going to record the chat so you can catch all the answers there. So we can move on to the first question. It's a little bit. From which of the services are you more familiar with? So we can start. You can get the code. I think you can find it in the top of this slide. So that means you could have used this service in the past also or you plan to use it maybe in the future. Let's explore research community or connect if you remember it as connect and provide. Preserve the three options. I see almost 20 people here. Yes, but you don't see results. Maybe refresh the page. There you go. Okay. So you see explore is number one, provide and then research community dashboard. So I would expect that people are most most known explorer because they try to find information. The first thing they do on open areas to discover information to find out something they're looking for. The data set, publication, the most common. Okay. And connect. Okay. We can move on to the next one maybe. Okay. How do you globally assess the value or the interest of these services? So what do you think here? You can compare it of course with other tools you might use, other services, the value is very personal sometimes, you know, it fits to you to your needs. So the same question can result totally different outcomes can give you different different results, different metrics in another event. So for this one, let's see. It looks like three of them are quite at the same level and close to five, very, very useful or interesting. And we have 22, three. This is very positive for all the three services. Okay. Would you like to move on to the next one? In each way, the services are useful in your daily activities. Again, it's about your own reality, your needs. You can respond as a researcher or the repository manager or as a responsible for a community of researchers. So you might be a content provider. Yes. The data as a researcher. So yes, I would expect this is the common answer, let's say, or one of the answers that can really fit too many people here in this event. Yes. But even for repository managers as to when it comes to interoperability and orientate and comply with the guidelines of open air, it's important, the provide service. Yes. Also one answer that's about national work, international. So it's a different layer and the community again. So the main things I can see from here is, you know, find information, research products, plus a community and plus again to find the information through like let's say provide so to have a service that can really help me collect all that information for me to be trustable, to be really valuable. Can you scroll down and also find them and explore later. And when I found them in explore, I might say, I have an idea. I want to connect to connect with others that have the same topics of interest like me and let's have a community. Let's organize and start a research community and connect. This is where we really need the input from the researchers and the community because what we are showing today is just an example of what can be done. So the assumption is we have this full graph, informative graph put together with links, insert links between the entities. So we can exploit it at best to offer new advanced discovery functionalities, which are not so traditional with respect to the past. First of all, we have all kinds of products in there. So what you find in the scholar, you can find it here, what you can find in data site, you can find it here, what you can find in several sources out there, you can find there in the same place, all interconnected. Now, ideas are welcome because we are exploring possibilities on how to improve research data discovery, for example, which are today not available. We're still relying on simple metadata and we know how poor this can be. We're trying to move, for example, research context within the resource data by collecting it from the constellation of products that are surrounding a data set. So bringing in information from the rest. We are trying to apply several ideas also stolen from other fields, which exploit mining. In the next stage, it's already available in beta. We are interconnected with orchid. So as an orchid user, when you log into the portal, you can find all your products in there, data software publication and send them to your record in orchid. So there are several things that we are doing, but your input ideas are extremely welcome. Thank you so much, Paolo. So I don't know if any other speakers, Pedro, Alessia or Katerina, want to say something to add more, any comment? No, I think that there is a very good input here in the way that services can improve. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay. So let's have a break now. The lunch for 45 minutes. And we meet here again at 15 to 2 o'clock. Okay, so have a nice lunch and talk later. Yes, thank you Paolo.
