Talk:Springer Open Choice Data Transfer

Overview of 1. Workflow variante, before revision in March 2009[edit]

Springer

after acceptance process: corresponding author tags that paper any creator is affiliated with MPG
Note: Currently, this information is not checked automatically (e.g. by comparing the author's affiliation with the selection), therefore MPG articles could be missing or external articles could be mapped incorrectly
publication gets processed, e.g. metadata is created, pdf is generated
Springer's data delivery service (dds) runs an export job on a regular base and makes the information available to MPG

MPG
needs to be defined and should specify following actions and the corresponding responsibilities

download data
check for plausibility and correctness
How to create "nachforderungen" an springer? (only manually, maybe once a year)
download from Springer ftp server
upload to subversion repository (e.g https://devtools.mpdl.mpg.de/repos/mdbase)
The repository is checked out daily to a web server which is access restricted to the MPG IP range (see http://devtools.mpdl.mpg.de/mdbase/trunk/springer_openchoice), thus the original data would become available to other interested users in MPG.
upload to edoc:
- transforming Springer data into internal format
- upload into one Open Choice Collection
- merging existing records with springer data - won't be done automatically
notification of MPG librarians, including
- list of journals
- list of affiliations
- list of authors
- should be further checked with librarians

Open Issues:

negotiate requirements regarding data delivery (issued material only, monthly processing) with springer - Done. Results as follows:
- issued material only; monthly processed; every month delivery of the new material, only; no additional cumulative file.
plan extensions required for edoc (copy with full text, tag copied items, define metadata mapping)
assign priorities within the team
communicate results to MPG libraries, invite them for comments
