1. Data summary

The OpenAIRE-Connect project provides services that will complement the existing OpenAIRE infrastructure (available through www.openaire.eu): the new services will be:

  • Research Community Dashboard Services
  • Catch-All Broker Service
  • additional APIs for the infrastructure
  • new functionalities for the Zenodo Repository (www.zenodo.org)

Accordingly, the project will deliver:

  • New software packages related to the services, to be deployed as production services within the OpenAIRE infrastructure portfolio. All software will be released under open GPL/A license6.
  • Enriched information space: The new OpenAIRE-Connect services will be used by end-users and third-party services to enrich the existing OpenAIRE information space with metadata of published software and other research products. Such metadata will be subject to preservation and curation policies described in the OpenAIRE20201 and OpenAIRE-Advance11 Data Management Plans. In some cases, users will deposit files related to software and other research products in the Zenodo Repository, thereby benefiting from the preservation policies2 guaranteed by the repository.
  • Feedback information: OpenAIRE-Connect collects feedback on the new services from involved research communities, through dedicated pilot actions. These activities will generate research data in the form of questionnaires and potentially other developed monitoring tools, as well as the collected responses. More details on the outcome of pilots can be found on D72 and D73 wiki pages.
  • Data related to dissemination materials, including conference presentations and webinars for content providers.

All of the above software and data may be of interest to people working in the area of open science, repository management, science management and administration, and others interested in the functioning and outputs of research. Therefore, it will be made as open as possible.

All deliverables and milestones will be preserved within OpenAIRE-Connect_coordination Virtual Research Environment as versioned documents and made available to project members. Deliverables and milestones prepared in the form of a wiki page will be grouped by Work Packages and made publicly available at:

https://support.d4science.org/projects/openaire-connect-wiki/wiki

In addition, two publicly accessible entry points will be provided on the main openaire.eu portal:

https://www.openaire.eu/openaire-connect-wps-tasks-deliverables
https://www.openaire.eu/public-documents/deliverables-all/connect-deliverables

allowing access to all deliverables finally released as PDF documents. Each entry point organizes shared documents in a slightly different way.

Within the workshop activities targeting content providers and research communities, aimed to promote and demonstrate the OpenAIRE-Connect services, a set of materials will be produced. The materials will be made available for dissemination and for consultation by the services stakeholders through the OpenAIRE support page. Additionally, all the conference presentations and webinars will be made publicly available either on Google Drive or SlideShare sites. Webinar recordings will be made openly available on OpenAIRE_eu YouTube channel.

Apart from the software and data mentioned above, many documents and other data are being produced during the OpenAIRE-Connect project duration for internal purposes of the project. Their value may differ: some are needed for a short period of time only, while others will be useful until the end of the project or even beyond. Access to the documents and other data produced for internal purposes should be limited to the members of the project team. A crucial part of this outcome is used as a support for the purpose of the project coordination and development. This is the case of financial reports or notes after project meetings. This kind of information should be preserved for the adequate period of time. However, it could be considered that some documents can be safely made accessible in a broader range.

All the internally issued documents related to the OpenAIRE-Connect project will be held in a dedicated private VRE (Virtual Research Environment) workspace which can be reached from d4science gateway and which will be available to project participants only. In particular, project coordination will be supported by the dedicated OpenAIRE-Connect_coordination group while technical activities of interest to the members of the WP4, WP5, WP6 and WP7 will be supported by OpenAIRE-Connect_technical group. Each group will take advantage of documents exchange and communication tools provided by d4science VREs. All the activities related to the project will be driven by the issues reported on a dedicated d4science issue tracker.

2. FAIR data

The OpenAIRE consortium has devised guidelines for content providers (literature repositories, data repositories, and CRIS systems) to expose metadata according to common exchange formats for:

Similarly, it exposes collected metadata according to the same formats and according to an internal richer XML format, which includes entities and relationships to other entities. OpenAIRE-Connect will introduce specific guidelines to establish common metadata formats for the description of software and other research product artefacts. In order to ensure a high level of interoperability and alignment with scholarly communication practices, such formats will be special cases of DataCite 4.0. The same metadata formats will be adopted by Zenodo to support description and deposition of software and other research products. More details on Zenodo following FAIR principles can be found at https://about.zenodo.org/principles/.

All data enriching the OpenAIRE Graph, collected via OpenAIRE-Connect services, will be handled as described in the OpenAIRE20201 and OpenAIRE-Advance11 DMPs. The OpenAIRE Graph will be accessible via standard access protocols as described at https://api.openaire.eu/ and at https://www.zenodo.org/. The full graph (resulting from processing of the collected metadata) is available for download under a CC0-1.04 license from Zenodo repository5.

Data generated through feedback collection from OpenAIRE-Connect service users will be made available under CC-BY licenses and made findable and accessible via the Zenodo repository. In case of files containing personal data, only aggregated (anonymised) data will be made available.

Software produced by the OpenAIRE-Connect project will be included in the OpenAIRE software codebase, hence, for compatibility reasons, it will be written in Java language (v8). The Catch-All Notification Broker and the Research Community Dashboard software will be stored in the following OpenAIRE SVN repositories:

and both will be released under the GPL/A6 license.

Some services source code and artefacts will be available also on OpenAIRE GitHub8 repository, including Information Inference Service12 which is the mining subsystem licensed under Apache License 2.013. The Zenodo Software is licensed under GPL 2.0 license9. The software will also be available through the D-NET website (http://www.d-net.research-infrastructures.eu/) maintained by the project partner ISTI-CNR10 as well as will be packaged and deposited in Zenodo to be citable (DataCite metadata and DOI) and discoverable via the scholarly communication ecosystem. D-Net Software Toolkit 1.3.0 release is available at https://zenodo.org/record/168362/.

3. Allocation of resources

The responsibility for proper documentation and archiving of the source code in Github/Zenodo and on the D-NET website lies with the respective workpackage leaders: ARC (WP4) for the Research Community Dashboard, Zenodo extensions, and additional APIs, and CNR (WP5) for the Broker Service. The responsibility for proper documentation and archiving of Zenodo software lies at CERN.

The responsibility for proper describing and archiving of data related to community feedback lies with the workpackage leader CNR (WP7).

The responsibility for managing data related to dissemination materials lies with WP2 leader.

The responsibility for managing internal documents and data related to project lies with all the partners. This kind of data is related to all WPs. Leaders of each WP decide how it is being managed.

4. Data security

All research artefacts will be deposited in Zenodo and preserved by the repository, according to the established procedures described in the Security section of Zenodo infrastructure description available at https://about.zenodo.org/infrastructure/.

Project outcomes in form of the deliverables will be made publicly available on openaire.eu portal.

Internally issued documents related to OpenAIRE-Connect project will be created and persisted using comfortable online collaborative tools provided by d4science VRE (Virtual Research Environment). This private workspace will be made available to project participants only.

5. Ethical and legal aspects

There are no legal problems associated with the source code that will be generated during the project. The IPRs to the code lie with the authors and therefore there are no obstacles to making the code open source under the selected licenses.

In accordance with legal restrictions, personal data concerning the service users will not be shared in any manner. For this reason, feedback collected from research communities during the pilots described in WP7 will be made available in aggregated, anonymized form only.

There are no specific ethical issues related to data associated with dissemination materials. Copyright belongs to the most important legal aspects in this subject. However, significant part of the materials will be licensed under Creative Commons licenses, while the other materials will be available on the basis of the fair use principle.
