Linking Service toOpen Access Repositories

• AIRway Project
• SUGITA Shigeki and SUZUKI Masako
• (Hokkaido University Library, JAPAN)
• 23-26 Oct. 2006
• Leeds, Cranfield and Bath

AIRway Project

• Launched 2006
• Access Path to Institutional Resources via Link
  Resolvers
• Funded by NII (National Institute of Informatics,
  JAPAN

• Partners
• Hokkaido University
• Openly, OCLC
• And,
• University of Tsukuba
• Chiba University
• Nagoya University
• Kyushu Universtity
• NII

3
Roadmap

• Phase 1 (May Sep. 2006)
• One IR and One Link Resolver
• Phase 2 (Oct. 2006 -)
• Many IRs and Many Link Resolvers

4
AIRway Phase 1

• Hokkaido University and Openly, OCLC

HUSCAP (Institutional Repository)
1CATE (Link Resolver)
5
HUSCAP

• Approximately 1,400 articles of Thomson-indexed
  journals
• Many of them areauthors final drafts
• DSpace 1.3.2

6
Users of HUSCAP

• From university web site
• From Google(and other search engines or
  directories)
• From OAIster(and OAI-compliant service providers)

7
And

• Wed like to provide EJ non-licensed users author
  version in HUSCAP

What is concerned here is NOT lucky-shot link
Institutional Repositories the median number of
documents per site290
Link resolvers
If only the base target url is given (e.g.
http//the.ir.server/query?id)
http//the.ir.server/query?idA

What is needed?

• Rich metadata in IR
• rich enough to be matched with publisher version
• Z39.88 (OpenURL) compliant?
• Or publisher versions DOI?
• How should the metadata be given to link-servers?
• Preliminary harvesting into the knowledgebase?
• Or on-the-fly transaction?
• Super repository needed for IRs? (like CrossRef)

HUSCAP metadata, again
What is the advantage of HUSCAP? machine
understandable metadata
e.g. another IR

Conclusion

• We, as a repository, need linking service to open
  access repositories for our researchers as
  authors
• And we, as a library, need linking service to
  open access repositories for our researchers as
  readers
• Wed like you to join us!
