Overview
1. Repository Development at IOC/IODE
1. OdinPubAfrica2. OceanDocs
2. Aquatic Commons3. AVANO
1.1. OdinPubAfrica
An African repository for marine science
OdinPubAfrica
A FUST project of IOC (Aug. 2004 – Aug. 2006) coordinated by Hasselt University and supported by the Flemish government in the framework of OdinAfrica
http://web.archive.org/web/20060822002821/iodeweb1.vliz.be/odin/
The goals of OdinPubAfrica
• Facilitate publishing of research findings by African scientists (e-journal as well as e-archive) thereby promoting African research and increasing access by African scientists to the international research forum
• Make scientific publications in the field of marine science and oceanography in Africa more easily and freely accessible
• Enhance the internal scientific communication• Develop an OAI-compliant repository providing access to
full-text publications created by scientists affiliated to African institutes (with 1500 documents at the end of the project)
Development of OdinPubAfrica
• Training:– Local coordinators (16 information managers)– Appointment of 2 DSpace administrators:
• West-Africa – French• East-Africa - English
– Support by UHasselt and IOC– OdinPubAfrica – training material at:
http://www.uhasselt.be/bibliotheek/demos/oceandocs_e.htm
• Implementation at institute level:– Agreement of the management– Implementation of an institutional repository policy= most difficult part= the result of the work of the information managers of
OdinAfrica
1.2. OceanDocs
From OdinPubAfrica to OceanDocs
• Repository development has been identified as a major goal by IOC
• Information management training sessions• Interest of ODIN communities: OdinCarsa –
OdinCindio – OdinECET – …• Two-level approach is unavoidable
– Institutes have their own repository– The oceanographic collection will be a part of a larger
institutional repository– The OceanDocs Central will be available for smaller institutes
and institutes with limited internet capacity
OceanDocs NetworkIODE related repositories:1. OceanDocs
(31 institutes from Africa and Latin America) - http://www.oceandocs.net
2. Repositories with the same software: – IBSS(Sevastopol – Ukraine):
http://repository.ibss.org.ua/dspace/– CEEMAR (http://www.ceemar.org/) – 11 institutes –
Eastern Europe3. Related institutional repositories:
• NIO (Goa-India): http://drs.nio.org/ - On DSpace• ODINPimris (http://pimrisregional.library.usp.ac.fj/ ) – on
Greenstone - ± 15 institutes - South Pacific
Statistics
OceanDocs – Records: 2797– Downloads:
• Africa: 2008: 82.617 - 2009: 134.071• L. America: 2008: 63.891 - 2009: 96.186
• Most visited collection:– In Africa: Institut National des Sciences et Technologies de la Mer,
Tunisia. (25.723 downloads)– In Latin America: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo
Pesquero, Argentina. (56.085 downloads)
Since May 27, 2008.

Software Development
Based on the following assumptions:1. Open source software repository package: DSpace2. Use of community standards3. Cooperation with organizations with similar goals:
• FAO - Agris DSpace – Thesaurus plug-in
4. Development of integration tools • DSpace Harvester function (2010)
5. Support for setting up repositories: Easy-to-install version
Need of standardsOceanDocs Supports1. Metadata:
DC – QDC (Standard DSpace) MODS AGRIS AP – (FAO)
METS – DIDL – RDF (Standard DSpace)
2. Thesauri - Classifications ASFA
OceanDocs on DSpace 1.5.2
Available in December 2009
2. Aquatic Commons
Repository developed by IAMSLIC
IAMSLIC Network
• Worldwide organization of libraries and information centres related to aquatic and marine sciences and their allied disciplines
• 325 members from 86 countries• Services:
– Union list of serial holdings in members libraries– IAMSLIC Z39.50 Distributed Library (common search
interface to the holdings of over 84 marine science libraries)– Aquatic Commons – Since 2006
Aquatic Commons
• Repository offered to any marine or aquatic researcher to deposit full text of research
– No repository at host institution– Host institution cannot implement a repository– Not covered by ODIN OceanDocs programme
– Complementary to OceanDocs– Working with OceanDocs
• http://iamslic.eprints.fcla.edu
3. AVANO
Harvester for Aquatic and Marine ScienceIFREMER
OAI harvester for marine and aquatic sciences - AVANO
• Developed by Fred Merceur, Ifremer / Bibliothèque La Pérouse
• As of November 2009, contained 192.000 records harvested from more than 200 open archives and 2 commercial editors
• Designating Avano as the official harvester for– IOC/IODE - OceanDocs– the Aquatic Commons Initiative.
• IAMSLIC proposal:– thematic harvester offering federated searching across:
• repositories, IAMSLIC’s Z39.50 distributed library • the union database of marine serials and the ASFA
database
Repositories in Aquatic Sciences
• Two major projects:– Aquatic Commons (IAMSLIC)– OceanDocs (IOC/IODE)! Need for submissions+ Many other repositories and digital collections
• One Harvester AVANO
• Basis for extra services: – Integrated search tools– Linking between publication(s) and data (OdinAfrica ?)
• Thank you for your attention.
