A propos de l'uniformisation des noms d'auteurs

In Proceedings 5th Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI5), Geneva (Switzerland). (déposé sur E-LIS)

Résumé
One of the fundamental pillars of the information retrieval is the name of the authors. And this is a reason why the standardization of authors names is an important aspect for the Web, and for the OAI archives. The problem is specially crucial for the academic individuals, who base their personal recognition on his bibliography. In Spain and the Latin American countries, unlike Anglo-Saxon, Portuguese, Nordic and Slavic countries, people sign writing first the family name of the father and then the family name of the mother. Moreover, many use a compound given first name. The authors who sign with their official names, very often find the unpleasant surprise that their works published in journals appear indexed in the databases, OAI repositories, citations, etc., in different forms.
Thanks to the collaboration between the open archive E-LIS and EXIT, a directory of professionals linked to E-LIS, we observed the need to standardize the Spanish authors of a single and unique way. This is what IraLIS tries:

1. Creating a registry of names of authors in Library and Information Sciences, that helps to locate the different variants. IraLIS records will contain these variants used by an author, as well as those interpreted by producers, aggregators, search engines, etc., of the diverse sources of information.
2. Creating awareness among Hispanic authors about the need of always sign his works in the same form, thinking about how the international databases, OAI archives and search engines (i. e., Google Scholar) will reference their works. In the Western world languages, the signature with a single family name is already a de facto standard –practically irreversible, specially because of the English influence on the science communication patterns and on the information world (Science Citation Index, Scopus, Chemical Abstracts, Medline, Inspec, etc.)— and Hispanic authors must adapt to that.
3. Creating the simple IraLIS signature format, that will allow authors names to be interpreted without confusions by any source of information.

Dépôts institutionnels: histoire illustrée d'un "objet numérique"

Melero, Remedios et Prats Prat, Jordi (2007) The route of a homeless Digital Object from "Closeland" to "Openland". In Proceedings 5th Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI5), Geneva (Switzerland). (déposé sur E-LIS)

"Once upon a time, as a result of a research project, a digital object was born in a toll access world, it grew up and it could not place where it could be free - visible, accessible and free of barriers. That is how it started its journey from ‘closeland’ to ‘openland’. During the journey it discovered a whole landscape of new concepts and forms which helped it be open to the scientific world. This is the summary of the story of a homeless digital object, which became an open access resource, improving its chances of availability and preservation. The aim of this presentation is to illustrate some concepts within the process of archiving digital objects in repositories to make them clear, following the story of digital object from its birth to its deposit in a repository, and beyond, to its discovery and use by more scientists, freely building relationships between the object and other objects to create new knowledge, but respecting the rights of the object’s original owner – the author. The story is told by different cartoon scenes in which the characters and the scenarios are related to the open access movement, open archives, repositories and archiving. As in any other classical tale the story begins by “once upon a time”. Definitions of ideas like open archives, OAI-PMH, self-archiving, curation, preservation, workflow, sets, bitstream among others will be represented throughout cartoon pictures in the panels."

Intégration OAI des articles de Revues.org

"Revues.org maintient un dépôt OAI à l'adresse suivante.
Ce dépôt vous propose, à ce jour, les métadonnées de 19359 articles issus de 59 revues de sciences humaines et sociales publiées en ligne sur notre portail.
Ces métadonnées sont structurées en Dublin Core simple. Dans le futur, elles seront enrichies afin d'offrir plus de précision et de granularité dans la description des articles et des collections (Dublin Core qualifié et METS).
La liste des publications concernées est accessible ici.

Le moissonage de ce dépôt OAI pourra vous être utile dans votre travail de signalement et d'intégration de nos collections dans vos outils documentaires.
Le dépôt OAI de Revues.org est référencé dans le Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR)."

OAI-PMH for Resource Harvesting
Van de Sompel, Herbert and Nelson, Michael L. (2005) OAI-PMH for Resource Harvesting. Delivered at CERN workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication (OAI4), Geneva (Switzerland). Il s'agit d'une présentation.

"A variety of examples have arisen in which the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) has been used for applications beyond bibliographic metadata interchange. One of these examples is the use of OAI-PMH to harvest resources and not just metadata. Advanced resource discovery and preservations capabilities are possible by combining complex object formats such as MPEG-21 DIDL, METS and SCORM with the OAI-PMH. In this tutorial, we review community conventions and practices that have provided the impetus for resource harvesting."
