3. Cooperation between FAO and UNESCO-IOC/IODE FAO and UNESCO-IOC released a customized version of DSpace – an Open Source, digital document repository system. The communities supported by FAO and UNESCO- IOC/IODE are synergistic and the standards on metadata and controlled vocabularies are similar for both. Goals: o Promote open access to scientific information o Enhance the internal scientific communication o Make scientific information more accessible o Increase impact of research information

4. The OceanDocs Network OceanDocs 31 institutes from Africa and Latin America http://www.oceandocs.net, 3,405 docs Repositories with the same software: IBSS(Ukraine) http://repository.ibss.org.ua/dspace, 1,610 docs CEEMAR http://www.ceemar.org, 828 docs Related institutional repositories: NIO (India) http://drs.nio.org, 3,792 docs (On Dspace) ODINPimris http://pimrisregional.library.usp.ac.fj, 355 docs (On Greenstone)

5. FAO and DSpace DSpace as a tool for AGRIS centres Objectives: Assure quality in metadata creation Sharing information in a standardized manner Use of common semantics and interoperable syntaxes Use of more sophisticated and specialized metadata Use of controlled, multilingual vocabularies Requirements: AGRIS AP compliancy – AGROVOC Agris Dspace: ARD Prasad - ISI (Bangalore, India) Adapted submission module AGRIS AP export through OAI-PMH

10. Enhanced submission module - 3 Authority control Using the new Dspace 1.7 authority functionality Based on local table + adding functionality + correcting javascript bug + link between field and authority list is defined in input- forms-extended.xml (not in in dspace.cfg) ex. issn

11. Enhanced submission module - 4 Authority control Journal titles: + possibility to add besides the title an issn + issn is copied to dc.identifier.issn + title + volume + issue + start + end page > dc.identifier.citation ASFA AGROVOC Inclusion of the thesaurus plug-in, developed by Kasetsart University (Bangkok, Thailand)

12. Enhanced edit page

13. Extended options for crosswalk Possibility to access the language and authority values: E.g. dc.subject.asfa = %s | subject/text() MODS: Grouping of tags Support of Agris AP

14. AGRIS AP in OAI-PMH. Results AGRIS AP crosswalk: to create a well formated XML for thesauri Absolute food deficiency http://ontologies.freshwaterlife.org/asfa/skosScheme#Starvation Agropisciculture http://www.fao.org/aims/aos/agrovoc#c_212

15. Different level approach Easy-to-install version for small organizations o Based on a build version of Dspace o Available July 2011 (with some delay) Harvesting functionality in OceanDocs: o Harvesting the odin and institutional repositories of the IODE network o Mirror metadata and documents for archiving purposes AGRIS as harvester of FAO-related repositories

16. Distribution and support Communication release AgriOcean DSpace: o FAO repository community: the AGRIS network o IODE repository community: OceanDocs network Assistance o AgriOcean DSpace community on AIMS, Agricultural Information Management Standards (register) o OceanTeacher Support material/Self training o Preinstallation requirements o Installation of AgriOcean DSpace o Administration of AgriOcean DSpace

18. Next steps Thesaurus plug-in: Accessing AGROVOC through web services or locally - Estimated release: October 2011 AgriOcean Dspace is part of the set of tools to be distributed among the VOA3R data providers for the implementation of document repositories - Virtual Open Access Agriculture & Aquaculture Repository - http://voar.eu Linked Open Data (LOD) for AgriOcean Dspace
