Video summary

The 13th CONNECT Community Call focused primarily on the new statistical features introduced to Opener Connect for organizations with premium plans, alongside recent improvements in page efficiency and bot defense mechanisms. Since March 2026, four service releases have been implemented, with a specific highlight given to statistics available as of June that were further refined recently. These tools allow institutions to monitor key indicators regarding openness, findability, and fairness by calculating percentages of publications with persistent identifiers or open licenses. Additionally, the system tracks how research objects are interconnected, such as linking publications to datasets or software, providing a visual representation of scientific collaboration through maps based on co-author countries and project grants. Users can interact deeply with these data visualizations by viewing charts in full screen, printing them, downloading images in various formats, or exporting the underlying CSV and Excel files for further analysis. The interface also offers flexible visualization options, allowing users to switch between bar charts and box plots depending on preference. Beyond general statistics, new indicators detail where researchers publish their work across different open access models like Diamond, Gold, and Transformative journals, as well as which repositories host their datasets and software. For instance, the system can show that Harvard Dataverse is currently hosting more data for a specific institution compared to others, while also listing software hosted on platforms like Zenodo or Kodiosan. The second major segment of the call addressed the three-year history and future roadmap of the Netherlands Research Portal, which aims to unify Dutch research outputs in one place. Originally launched two decades ago with the goal of reducing subscription costs through green open access, the portal has evolved under OpenAire Connect to serve as a federated infrastructure that enriches local repositories while maintaining institutional autonomy. The project is now supported by a mandate from university boards and funded via the Dutch Open Science Fund to ensure its long-term sustainability. This initiative integrates with the European Open Science Cloud node, enabling seamless data transfer between storage facilities like SURF Research Drive and compute resources, thereby creating a robust ecosystem where metadata remains in the central graph while full texts are preserved locally or nationally. During the Q&A session, participants clarified how organizations can be included in search results for portals that previously operated on a repository-only basis rather than an organization-specific list. The presenters explained that administrators can manually add specific repositories to the configuration of a portal like the Dutch Research Portal, which will subsequently make affiliated organizations searchable and include their products even if not directly deposited in institutional archives. Furthermore, users were informed about granular control over harvesting settings, allowing repository managers to select exactly which datasets they wish OpenAire to index rather than submitting everything automatically. The session concluded with an invitation for continued collaboration on expanding the federation's capabilities and utilizing the extensive graph data, which currently contains millions of records across European partners including Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Greece.

Okay. So, I'm Allesi. Uh, I'm a researcher at the Italian National Research Council and I'm the service manager of Opener Connect. So, most of you already know me. Uh, the agenda was already presented. So, I will go straight to the first item which are the novelties of the service since March 2026, which is when we had our last community call. So we performed uh four service releases and today we will focus on something that was released in June and improved uh yesterday basically which is about the availability of uh statistics and charts for organizations that have uh a premium plan of open air connect. Other news are um improvements on the efficiency of the pages especially for the the loading of the plug-in for accessibility and also we had to defend against the bots. Uh this is a problem that many websites and repositories and uh in general scholar communication services are having uh in these uh these months. So we tried our best to to defend against the AI bots and more um more solution more technology to to defend from that will be is being implemented and so let's go to the main functionality I would like to present you today. So if you go now on the landing page of an organization in a premium gateway, uh the organizations features a new tab statistics and if you click on it, you go to the statistics section where you can find different types of indicators uh indicators about um openness, findability and fairness. These are uh somehow a percentage of how many uh publications data are open with respect to the total. How many publications data sets have a persistent identifier so they are findable and um also how fair the data sets are. And we also provide indicators that tells you how the research objects of your um of the of the organizations are linked to each other. So we track the number of publications that are linked to to research data, publications that are linked to software and data sets that are linked to publications because you know very well that science is connected. Okay. And this is the these are examples. I do not remember uh exactly if that's the organization we saw in the previous slide or not. But in any case, uh you can see that we have the openness, findability and fairness score and the number of uh of linked research outputs for a specific institution. And um in case a chart has a note, a descriptive note, you can see this icon and if you click it, the card indicators will uh change, let's say. and the description of the indicators will show up. Something that I would like to ask to you that if you find notes that I'm that are not clear enough uh let us know because we can change it. So we try to do our best to make things as clear as possible but sometimes it's um uh it's better to to get the feedback from uh from you because we may give for granted uh concepts that are that are not. So your feedback on this would be very helpful. Um you will also see indicators about collaborations. So uh it's easy if I show you this slide with a screenshot. So on the left you can see a map that highlights uh the countries that collaborate with the current institution based on the uh authors of the publications. So we start from the publications of an institution and we look at the at the organizations of the co-authors. So based on the number we plot the information in this map. So where do you see um a darker color there is a stronger collaboration on the right. Instead we focus on collaborations based on project grants. So basically here the colors depend on the number of projects this institution is um participating together with other institutions in other countries. For all the charts you have the possibility to um to view it in full screen. You can print the chart. You can download the image in different formats and you can also download the data that is used to create this uh this chart. In particular, you can download as a CSV, as an Excel file or you can view uh the data just below the the chart and you have these three lines on the top with uh with all these options. H then um I wanted to have some indicators about um about where researchers uh publish. So uh I included three indicators about the journals and I have one indicator for diamond open access journals, one for gold and one for transform transformative journals which you can see here. And um basically if you hover on one of the colored bar you can see the specific number of publications of the institution in that journal as you can see here and I was not really sure on the on the size on the format of the charts. So uh they may be too big but we can shrink them a little bit. So if you are in your gateway and you think really that they are too big, we can decide to make it smaller. Um we can also provide a different types of view. So instead of the bars we can have the boxes and I will show you an example in a in few slides. So if you think that the other visualization with the boxes is preferable, we can also change that. And coming back to the researchers habits. So one thing is you know the the journals and the journal business models that the researchers choose and another one is uh where researchers decide to deposit their data sets and their software. So we also have charts that show that this aspect. So on the left you can see um a box a block chart about the repositories where the data sets of this institution um are hosted. In this case you can see Harvard the data versse is winning over the others and on the right you can see the repositories of the of the software. So in this case there were only two Zenodo and Kodosian. Um as before if you over with a mouse on a on a block on a box you can see the specific number of research products and as in any other charts you can click on the embed functionality. This will open a new window with uh basically the JavaScript uh code that you can include in your website. And this is useful if you want to embed any of these charts in your institutional website for example. So this was the presentation of the new functionality. I don't know if there are any questions or suggestions that you would like to share. >> Uh, hi Allesia. I see that there is a question in the chat. Uh, Maurice is asking if you could show where we can find these charts. >> Oh yes. Let me share the screen again and I will dive you live. I'll Okay. So, let me pick our product. So, under the search um button, you have the possibility to search for the organizations. And here you have the list of the uh organizations that are related to the Aurora University Alliance and the um subscribed organizations have the dedicated statistics tab here. So if you click it, you can find the statistics. I already see that we have to fix this because I see plus one twice. So, so if you see Okay. And this doesn't work, but it was working yesterday. Let me pick another one just to double check. Okay, it works for it. So if you see anything weird like plus one uh written in slightly different ways or any other problems with the charts, let us know and uh and we will uh fix it as soon as possible. I can see that there are no any other questions for now. Thank you Alysia for your presentation and we can move forward. >> I have another I have another question. Sorry. So [clears throat] I I I looked at the the Netherlands portal but I cannot find it in the list uh of uh of objects to find. Should I enable something in in the in a management interface or >> Okay. So the the opportunity to search for the organization is available when um we have something in the inclusion criteria by organization. So usually what happens is that for example university alliances they want all the research products of uh of a specific university to be included in the gateway and they specify the list of organization and those are searchable. So in the case of the Netherlands, this is not the case because we worked with the repository point of view. So um what we could do in fact is to include all the organizations based on the Netherlands that we have in the open air graph to the configuration of the Netherlands portal. So the consequence will be the organizations will be available in the search options and all the products that have an affiliation to those organizations will also be included even if they are not included in the repositories. Sometimes this is something that happens >> because researchers are lazy and forget to uh deposit something in the institution or repository. So maybe we can find it in cross ref for example. >> No let's let's talk about further uh yeah on this uh solution. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Great. Thanks. >> If there are no there is another question in the chat. Uh it says that they cannot see uh cano if I pronounce it correctly. Royal Academy of Netherlands in the Dutch research portal. uh this as an organization or as a source because as a source we have to one institutional Chris and the institutional repository. >> Uh if Zor would like to explain further question. >> Hi uh thanks for your answer. Actually, I don't see uh Canvas. Uh I'm not sure whether it's tracked or not. And uh as Morris mentioned, I don't see uh search based on I mean uh the uh organizational um uh button on the Canary research on the uh open research portal or Dutch research portal. And uh when I see when I go to publications I see the name of the universities but not can away is there maybe there are underlining data but uh yeah I don't know how does it work and uh what should be done to be part of it. >> Uh for sure we start thank you for sure we start a conversation to include the organizations in this menu. Uh and basically what you can do if you want to search for scholarly works of a specific institution for now what you can do is do a search select the advanced search and then you can select organization is no and then we have several options. I think it's this one Royal Academy. Yes. Uh, sorry Allesia if you you thought that you're sharing your screen. You're not. >> I'm not. Oh, yes. I'm sorry. I I'm sorry. I thought I was sharing. Um so if I search for the data sources for example I can find the two data sources for uh and for example let's pick uh the cris so this is what we collect from the cris system of here you can see related organization so if we go there you have the list of publications research data research software linked to the organization and you can of course view them all. So the the same list you can get it by basically using the the advanced search. What we will we can work in the future is the possibility to add uh the search by organizations directly in the menu. And this is uh this will let's say make it simple. >> Uh okay thank you. So I see that this is a kind of uh I should look into that deeply but I think this is based on aggregated level right because for example at there are 12 research institutes uh that they have their own pure. So uh I need to look into that. But is it also possible to the aggregate that level as well to have that option? >> Uh I don't know what kind of presentation Maurice had in mind. Maybe you're going to address these. >> I will ask Morris about it. >> No, it's fine. It's fine. Sorry. Yeah, let's let's if if we need to have a discussion on that bilaterally. It's fine. That's uh let's let's do that discussion. Uh it's it's it's supposed to be part of the of the DERF project to add as many uh uh repositories as possible uh from the Netherlands and also from uh the the Royal Dutch Society of uh uh science and and and arts, right? Arts and Sciences. Um and uh yes, our our list is perhaps not not complete uh as as yet as of yet, but uh um we we have to work with you uh on that to uh to make it as complete as possible. >> Okay. Thank you. >> So yes, please. >> We'll keep in touch. Thanks. >> Yeah. >> And there is also one more question in the chat from Hanek. It says our UVA there and HVA research database is at sources. >> So I I guess it means that they can find uh their repositories uh in the gateway. So more than a question is a uh is a comment I would say. >> Okay. Okay. Perfect. I cannot see any other questions in the chat. So we can proceed with uh Maurice's presentation. >> Yes. Great. Thanks. Um and and uh for reference uh Allesia I I see that in the Netherlands portal there are 150 affiliations available. So um where we have to look into why that isn't showed up in at the source at the s uh what is it search u sub menu. But anyway, let's um continue my presentation. So, thank you for for having me uh everyone. Um um I I'm asked to talk something about the third anniversary of the Netherlands research portal. And frankly, uh uh I I I forgot a bit about it that it's a third anniversary anniversary already. Um, so, uh, so what what happened in the meantime? Uh, I'm sharing my screen, right? Yeah. >> Uh, no, we cannot, uh, see. >> Oh, I Yeah, sorry. I need to press the share button and then it activates sharing, I saw. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Now, now it's sharing, I guess. Good. Um, and uh uh I was like, oh yeah, what what's happened in that uh in the in that meantime? Uh but we'll get to get uh get to that um in a in a few clicks. Uh first uh I want to show you what it is and I think I am um talking to an audience that I can perhaps go quickly over the whole this this whole part. uh then I want to show you something about the history then about some context and then about the projects where uh this uh Netherlands research portal uh lives in. Um so first the what what is it? Well, it's supposed to be all Dutch research in one place. Uh where we present all the all uh all the projects, all the publications, all research data, all software, all researchers maybe in the future. And uh uh because it's it's in this beautiful graph from open air uh we want to have relationships between all these uh things altogether. Um and uh later on uh I want to tell you something about what we want to do with this these enrichments putting them back into the sources where they came from. Um so in the portal um yeah you obviously know because I'm preaching to the choir um uh we want to stimulate or we want to present uh the repositories that we harvest and where you can also um link back into uh where you is a place where you can deposit um your research your data your software etc. um search it but also link it. That's the links between all these um uh projects, persons, uh uh outputs, etc. Um uh well this this is a this is the manual approach where you can offer um a researcher or research administrators to uh to do so. Uh but obviously the graph is doing a lot of automated work uh by itself. So what I said before um uh there's a s a list of suggested uh repositories where you can deposit and yes or if we have your cal repositories in there and you deliver these nice descriptions um uh where we can present uh your repository in this way it will appear here as well. um of course search uh and uh and a neat thing that open air did is uh they put also organizations here in this in this list. So you can even see where um which organizations are involved in this uh publication. So that was a pretty neat thing we did with Aurora and they implemented it throughout all the all the portals. Um and uh now also um this was the linking part where you can find sources and link them to other entities that you find. Uh you can do this by hand one by one or by bulk. It's pretty neat uh feature to uh to make uh more meaningful connections to the graph. uh and this information will be brought back into your system uh um uh into uh into your repository in the end uh if you would like. Um so for portal management if you log in uh here is the part where I can add sources uh for example the other repositories um yeah don't show it here up here but there is a add button and I can find the repository and add them to the Netherlands research portal and then in the next round of indexing will be taken up into the uh into the sub graph. uh but also uh here are the affiliations where we can select the Dutch affiliations um in this portal etc etc. Um also uh affiliation management. So uh there is this open orcs database where open air is collecting all kinds of name variations of all your universities or your university where you can um try to uh uh merge or split or um think all kinds of conflicts that happen with records. uh to add uh records to your uh name to your um affiliation for example. So when you press on the affiliation button the statistics that Allesia just showed you uh are being uh even more up to date and uh with with the newest uh changes that you made here. Um also for repository managers there is interface where you can login and see uh which when your repository has uh aggregated and uh which date uh of the aggregation is being indexed in the graph. Um so you can see here that uh for example the repository is now uh from May uh is in the index and not from the from July. Um so you can uh keep a little bit track on that. Um but also uh what I said before the graph is enriching your records built on uh information from other records that other people and parties uh deliver. um where you can for example um uh enrich uh your your projects for example that can be associated to your publications um and that would be very interesting information to put back into your repository or Chris system um okay so how how did this come three years already I said so um uh let let me just show you a bit of history Um the Netherlands research portal didn't came there overnight. It was uh it started 20 years ago. Um in 2006 and I don't know how much time you have or half an hour. Um it started with Daret there was the Dutch academic repositories network. Um and uh um there is um uh built on on the um open archives model uh for um where repositories built and uh H university uh built one and the the mission was to build a pressure mechanism for commercial publishers to reduce the prices on uh on um on the um subscriptions. Uh the idea was that well uh with the mandate of our repositories green open access we can publish ourselves if you want. Um so um was a was a mechanism to reduce costs. Um and that helped uh in in the beginning days. Um then uh Donet uh joined the driver project. It was a predecessor of open air uh where we drawn up uh the landscape repositories in in uh in Europe. Um and was the start actually of uh of of open air. Um then uh uh the project thereet ended uh and nurses from the from the the Royal Dutch uh Academy of uh Arts and Sciences took over uh this website um or this this part called Nars. Um and uh 13 years later um they decommissioned uh the portal uh where it was it was felt not not part of the uh of the overall strategy uh because it was part of Dons um and Dons is a data archive uh and they felt to uh go back to the core of their business uh and to decommission uh the portal. So we were left uh stuck. Uh but in the meantime, open air developed uh so enormously that they uh had this uh new tool open air connect where we and we had this strong um repository culture already uh and we use the we use the same standards that we easily could migrate into uh open air connect. Um the strategy was before was that uh Nars was the the proxy where it collected all the repositories from the Netherlands um and offered one place for open air to harvest. Now we in this in this mini project that we did uh with not only me but Dong from Leen University and KSB bars from Dons to ask repositories to be harvested um by open air directly uh and offering them this interface where they could manage their repository but also get their enrichments back. So three years later then um uh it was it was like okay now now we built this uh we put this uh online um uh and uh we need to have uh finances for the next uh for the next round. So uh we we uh it was like in between in limbo what h would happen with this um because it was a just a a nice project but there was no governance behind it. There was no financial support. So with this initial uh idea, we had to go to the library directors um and and ask them uh our library directors in the Netherlands and ask them how to continue do they want to continue still with this or uh should we uh should we abandon uh the project altogether? Uh but they said this decided no this is this is a very core um uh thing to keep uh keep alive. Um, it was also part of the I didn't put the picture on that of the the Dutch open science strategy to have uh from the universities of the Netherlands to have a strong federated um repository infrastructure or publishing platform infrastructure they called it. Um and that's uh where but also a central place where everything can come together and a and a place where all these uh research is being presented um and it very much look like uh the the the portal. So uh we we have written uh a proposal uh for the uh Dutch uh open science fund uh from 1.5 million uh to work on several aspects uh of this uh infrastructure that we that we've that we don't want to lose. Um and I will come back to this. This was formulated in the derf project and derf and there is a Dutch translation of there. So there is a uh link in history of the name. Um and also I want to tell you something about uh the EOS node uh the Dutch EOS node that is using data from this repository network. So uh why why why do we want to go all through this this hassle? So we want uh basically uh not only green open access but we also want to have transform the closed research information infrastructures to u open research information commons and for the governance what we need to do is collective action uh is clarity on who does what what are the roles and commitments that everybody uh has to take in this ecosystem. So there is a role for for the libraries, there is a role for the universities, for the repository managers, for the people working in these repositories, but also um uh the u the metadata uh uh specialists at our universities. Um but also for for open air there is a role. Um uh so also we need agreement on who maintains what. So uh open air maintains for example the aggregation infrastructure universities they need to maintain the repositories but also people need to maintain all the um uh what is it the affiliation uh fixes that I that I showed you before and um to have real commitment to this collective value uh over this local optimization. So put effort in in a bigger in the bigger picture than only um uh fixing uh the things in in a in a local in your local situation. So I will go very broadly over this. Uh it's well the the title says it it's a very rich and fragmented landscape and we need uh to have something that that brings us together and and the research portal Netherlands research portal is that uh that very thing that that helps us bring uh the collective uh um idea in this uh because like uh Zor already was an very good examp I use you as example Uh but uh apparently you want to be part of the Netherlands support because you said I I'm missing out there is missing out stuff that it means that that it means that that is that it is important for you uh to do so. Um and uh yeah I I explained uh before so it's it was part of of a whole um builtup of of uh of policy lines and principles that uh for started for example back in 2006 but also uh the national open science agenda uh the uh the digital comments that been uh presented by the Dutch government that we want to be more independent of of big tech to provide uh research information but also in um uh getting access to our own research that we that we have produced. Um uh what I want to show you a little bit and and remember uh maybe you can research this a little bit later because um at first this looks very stupid but uh the hawk the global open research commons is a model that shows you what is needed to make um this infrastructure or this ecosystem sustain on the long run. Um and what I said before it's not only about uh the metadata and and the PDFs etc. And it's not only about the the portal that is uh being kept alive and the repositories uh and and the and the compute infrastructure but it's also about the standards uh making sure how the information flow flows be uh behind uh all goes through all these uh steps. Um uh but it's most importantly it's the white part here. It's about um how can you make this uh infrastructure sustainable, financially sustainable? How um can you make sure it's being used? So you have you need to have engagement uh with your users and your your user group to make sure that what you are doing is still relevant for that uh for that group. Uh, of course the governance uh structures um it needs not only be a play toy of people uh at the workforce at the work floor but also uh it needs to be some uh of some importance at the board level. Um the rules of participation and access who who when when are you allowed to be in the for example the Netherlands re research portal? what kind of what are the the rules of participation in order to to uh to be allowed in there? Um what kind of um uh yeah what's that called? Um uh what what do you need to do for the for the community for the for the commons to be sustainable? Um and also what I said it's it's also the big part is human capacity. um there are people behind all these systems that that uh maintain it uh that ask questions to researchers etc. So these are um this is a um um framework where you can see where you can plot you can you can see the the weak spots where haven't you thought of when you when you are implementing your um ecosystem or infrastructure um so um what at at surf I mean I also work at surf for for a bit uh they they are um thinking on on this u digital autonomy. Uh they want to promote uh more the uh thinking of the commons and the research commons. What are the components in there the building blocks but also have this workflow perspective because that reflects uh the user and how the user is using all these kind of services in this ecosystem. uh I won't go over this in detail but uh for example here is the the workflow from it goes from funding to eventually impact and reporting uh and you need uh common building blocks uh over there but also federative access over all these systems um okay now I will go because that was that was the three years of the research portal um and now I will talk about the three years onward work because we got a great mandate uh from all the um university boards in the Netherlands to continue uh building this uh um Dutch repository federation and Chris systems um but [clears throat] it wouldn't fit in the name. So um uh we want to work together on a federated open uh ecosystem um putting all data software and publications together in one place but uh have autonom autonomy uh each university and each uh research facility needs to have their own autonomy how to uh safeguard this information. So this project will run for three four years. Um and it u like I said it was a it should be uh the robust backbone of open science uh uh in in the Netherlands. Um and uh what it will do is to um integrate all these systems under one shared governance. Uh we want to enable enriched metadata feedback via the open air graph. We want to increase the full text collections um uh coming in uh in these repositories. We want to preserve all that information metadata and the full text uh via the national library eo. Um and we want to uh maximize discoverability through multiple channels like also open Alex and Google uh and the EOS nodes etc. Um and also we want to have a uh uh develop the portal a little bit further with the help of uh open air. Uh for example, one thing that was missing is an expert finder uh that uh that was currently in in the in the Narsis uh portal and we want to bring that uh back. So all these things are puzzles pieces that uh need to fit together in order to um uh get to get successfully to to the end. Um and this is a little bit of the picture how that how that flows. We start here at the the left part with repositories. uh we go follow this arrow is being harvested uh and validated by open air provide and being put into into the open air graph and reached uh uh within the open air graph with all the other sources. put arrows in there, but they are uh and that information being put can be put back into the repositories if they want to um and if the information is uh good enough to ingest back into uh these uh repositories and uh Chris systems then from this graph we can put it into the research portal but also we use that information to uh preserve that in the national library uh archive and uh at the same time uh here we want to um fetch the full texts uh because we have a special law in the Netherlands, the Tarvena Amendment for author rights that allows us to um get the uh not only the author manuscript but also the published version uh of uh of of a publication from a Dutch author and put them into a repository for as a copy as a backup to safeguard uh that information. Um and uh at the same time here at five, we want to have this information that's in in these systems uh being um uh aggregated and indexed in all other um indexes and cataloges etc that have high priority. Uh so it's not uh it has to be done independently by all these systems uh because of this federated uh nature. So not only not not via only one single point of failure the graph to push that into these cred logs but have these systems operate uh autonomously. So who are uh working on this? Uh uh the team leads for each of these uh packages come from uh these universities. Lighting University, Delha, National Library, University Amsterdam, V and Surf uh but also um all other universities uh are involved uh and of course uh open air um uh what we want to do uh for each of the teams we want to make uh make sure that we can monitor these things uh via datadriven dashboards. Uh and we're working on that uh as well. Um and then I will go over to EOS. So there is one one project to to make advance of that. Uh EOS is um is the European open science cloud node. Uh one of the nodes is uh the Dutch node. So what we can see here in so um Sturf is doing a pilot uh trying to uh build uh very the the very core uh of that node uh with their own um infrastructures uh like research cloud research drive uh store the data um uh but also then have the research objects uh and that's where open air comes in here to see to have a catalog uh with all data sets that we can be used and transferred and we'll go to another picture to show that into these infrastructures um and have services and tools um presented in a in a catalog what's what's being made available uh for surf in the next that's phase one in the next phase they want to uh uh and uh roll that out to the other um um uh research teams uh the thematic um digital curation centers where they um also have these kind of um research objects etc. but also the human capacity and engagement. Um to to follow up on that um this yeah what I uh so it connects uh all all these kind of um um services and tools uh that that are already existing u and uh in for within the Netherlands. And the beautiful thing is that this is one node and uh it should also connect to the European node so that uh the European researchers can find uh services available uh also in the Netherlands for them to to use compute services, data services uh etc. uh and have have this uh unified access uh I think via these uh um access management uh systems um to use the services that that are available in the Netherlands. So where does open air fit in? So what we saw the Netherlands research portal is a one of the services and tools um that connects all the repositories to to bring all that uh metadata together from publications but also from data sets and in this this case we focus on data sets. Uh this being put into the uh into the subgraph or in the at least also in the bigger graph open air. Um and this is can you can see this as a catalog for uh data sets in the from the Netherlands. Um these data sets uh can then be uh presented to the other services for example the uh storage and and comput facilities uh to make sure that the data can be reused uh transferred and reused. So what what it basically is in the workflow perspective is that you uh find fair data at least has to be interoperable and reusable. Um and you find this ideally via this uh this path that path is being presented in these uh in these in the in the Dutch node where you can select the data that you want. Then the data is being transferred into a selected storage. Uh in this case the surf research drive but it can be also if your institution offers also uh a storage facility can be uh added to that as well and then uh you can connect that uh storage facility to your compute facility where you can uh work with the data to analyze. So that's the that's the idea the flow uh of data of information that uh that we want to build uh where where this uh fits in. >> Maurice that's it. >> Thank you Maurice. Can you go back one slide? >> Back >> because Yes. Perfect. Because in your No, no, no. That's >> Yeah. >> Because in your workflow perspective I think you missed one last part. Because after you analyze the data, >> maybe you process the data, you transformed it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So you want to publish it again. >> Yeah. Sure. >> As a new version, etc. And you use the repositories of your federation to store the data >> which gets you know in the graph again. >> Yeah. >> Absolutely. Yeah. >> It's a complete >> Yeah. It's a full circle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, absolutely. Absolutely. I just I just wanted to show that. Yeah, but I could I could add at add that to have it have it full circle. Yeah. But uh now now it's a little bit bigger. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. That's that's that's uh that's that's uh pretty nice. Yeah. Let me uh in the next version of this uh presentation I uh I will make it a circle. Yes. So that the federation is the the starting point and also the final point. So that's >> yes >> and in the end there is there is no start and there is no end >> because research is always evolving. >> Any other questions? Should I stop sharing? I see I see Hanukkah there and Manuel. Hi. Any questions? >> No. Okay. Are you going to use uh the graph uh information to make your analysis uh Manuel? >> Uh yeah, I think we are thinking about it, but we are only now starting to think about open air. So, we're slowly getting there. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's uh it >> Yes. If you if you have questions on how to use the the graph, feel free to to contact Maurice and me and we can provide support if needed. We have plenty of documentation available online but uh I know that different use cases may require you know uh specific uh tips let's say because the graph is huge that and also if you look only at the the Netherlands only at the Netherlands subgraph still we're talking about more than three millions metadata records so it's not something um mold. [laughter] >> Yeah. >> I think I have one question about the last uh slide you showed. >> Yeah. >> If we um if we decide to import data, is it possible to import a specific set via the API or something like that? Do you know if that's possible the filter and then >> um let me see uh this this this slide you mean? >> Yeah. And then the last step analyze and then maybe import via the surf resource cloud the data which is um relevant for us and then we don't want to import all the data maybe but that's import [laughter] >> ah and then filtering but >> yeah sorry yeah maybe maybe I uh no I understand yeah this this uh this picture might might no what I what what I meant was uh find a fair data and that means one or more data sets that you want to find and it's not a full graph that you that you are >> putting into uh No, it's no I understand the confusion. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's about here you find a data set uh in in in the search interface and then you click on on the data sets that you need for your analysis. That's that these data sets are being transferred into research drive and that's being an analyzed not the metadata from the >> Okay. Yeah. >> The graph. No, it's Yeah. >> No, that's very good question to make that clear. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, the Yeah. the metadata stays here in the open air graph uh and the catalog also. But it's it's it's a way to select um data set you're interested in uh to reuse for your analysis. Uh for example, you need kind of a data that's uh historical data on on weather uh patterns or so. Um and you find them here and you transfer them into your own storage here and then you can analyze them. in in a comput facility. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Um yeah, it was I was if uh and if you if you want to uh if I if I go back into the presentation a little bit further where I showed you um about your own Chris system or repository and maybe that's maybe it could also be a question for you that you that you might ask can can I offer only one stat here. Uh there is um in this harvest management system where you can uh I think yeah if you click on update and then you see the details of your repository then you can I think also select a specific set that you want to uh get harvested by open air instead of everything. So that might be another question that you might have. >> Okay. >> Yes. Each source is each repository can decide uh if open air has to harvest everything or only one set or multiple sets. So we have these three these three options. >> Yeah. So maybe I can show you here. Um you update here. I think it's >> it's in update interfaces if I remember. >> Oh here. Yeah. So you can select the set that you want to um get harvested and you can add multiple right. So you can add several sets um and several interfaces etc to be harvested. So it's easy peasy. Yeah, open air makes it really uh easy for you. So it's uh [laughter] just uh just ask. >> Oh, we try to do to do our best. Sometimes we're not very good at telling people uh how many functionality and how many options are available. Yeah. Because you have to consider that most of the services that open offers are the results of research. So we started from research projects. So and all these tools services that you see are really the results of research activities from um from partners that are spread across all Europe. So Athens, Italy, Poland, Portugal. Uh so with open air we are pushing them to become products. So actually usable by uh by others in production level uh settings let's say and that is great because >> everything you saw >> is really the results of research in scholarly communication and open science. >> Yeah. So open air is actually the perfect example for commons in working. So it's uh >> and in fact we leazed with operas for the for the use nodes on schol on scholarly comments. >> Yeah. >> So >> I think I think it's time one minute past. >> Yes. I do not see any more merily but I do not even see any other questions in the chat. >> No we don't have any other questions and we can close the today's session. Thank you both for your presentation. Thank you all for your questions and feel free to contact us either Lesie or Maurice and also in open air help desk and see you at our next session on November. Have a nice afternoon. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. Bye. >> Bye bye. Bye-bye.
