Matthew Mascord, CCLRC, UK Slide 3
1. What is an institutional archive?
• Index, store (in a variety of formats) & disseminate intellectual output
• Publications, data sets, patents, technical reports, theses etc
• Free access (BOAI), increase impact, framework for preservation (OAIS), resource discovery
Matthew Mascord, CCLRC, UK Slide 4
1. CCLRC's interest
• Demonstrating quality of science
• Widen public awareness & understanding of science
• Digital preservation (DCC, National Data Archives)
Matthew Mascord, CCLRC, UK Slide 5
• Find a paper
• Find a supervisor for a PhD
• Exploit cutting edge science
• Re-run experiments or analysis
• Find collaborators
• Find a suitable instrument for an experiment
• Find contact people for press interviews
• Locate funding sources

4. Case study: CCLRC• Open Access Institutional archive with ~18000
records accessible on Web: http://epubs.cclrc.ac.uk
• Interface to CrossRef (DOIs)
• Multi-entity data model mapped onto Simple & Qualified Dublin Core for OAI-PMH
• Working to integrate with CERIF, CCLRC’s Corporate Data Repository & CCLRC Data Portal
• CCLRC’s record of scientific output
Matthew Mascord, CCLRC, UK Slide 23
4. Case study: CCLRC• CERIF2000 has only title, reference & URI for
Result_Publication
• Needed to extend Result_Publication & Result_Patent to hold more metadata
• Asserson & Jeffery 2002, 2004 proposed CERIF extension
• Glue linking CERIF to a more formal DC

4. Case study: CCLRC• Also considered FRBR, ONIX & Qualified DC
• HEP community preprint heavily: need version control
• FRBR introduces 4 level model: work, expression, manifestation item
• Also multiple manifestations (e.g. PDF, DOC, PS)

4. Case study: CCLRC• Some other extensions to formalised DC:
– Structured values for bibliographicCitation e.g. volume, first page etc
– Sequence numbers for creators/contributors
– Linking to events & event series e.g. conferences & workshops
– Serials (journals, report series) as works
– Structured/free text where unable to resolve orgunits/projects/people
