A policy for getting data from researchers
One target: getting data in order to be able to offer the services expected
By tracking 90%
of INRA
productions to
produce
relevant
indicators
By exposing
data (OAI and
WS) for data
dissemination
By providing
inputs to
facilitate
deposits
By providing

A policy for getting data from researchers
Arthur Sale, Professor of Computing (Research), University of Tasmania :
[… mandatory policies result in high content rates (70–90 percent),
compared to voluntary deposit policies which tend to capture only
10–20 percent of the available research output.]
Source :
http://eprints.utas.edu.au/264/1/Comparison_of_content_policies_in_Australia.pdf
The only way to get 90% of INRA production: the mandate
INRA will mandate the authors to deposit as soon as
ProdInra 2 opens

Notes de l'éditeur
Automated inputs when possible or importing local databases such as EndNote or RIS files to facilitate deposits.
We have also developped the connection with pubmed….
This is a very new information. I met the INRA directors last week in order to obtain this mandate.
We got it and it is a big changes to come, and quite a scoop at this time.
It is the promise to have a complete database within the 2 next years. And we can now think of services
Which will be launched or begun in june for a 3 year period. The goal is to set up an international thematic portal in the field of agriculture, food & environment. It will agregate or collect data from different european open archives. This project is funded by the european commission
We’ve decided to expose our data in OAI-MODS. MODS is a standard format maintened by the library of congress
We would like to add semantic dimension to our data (RDF) and interface (RDFa)
How does the interaction work between HAL and ProdInra It is a good case study.
