e-Infrastructures for scholarly communication A first step to OA. An indispensable step for e-Science
The case of High-Energy Physics
Jens Vigen – Head Librarian @ CERNSalvatore Mele – Head of Open Access @ CERN
I am a librarian…
…but I’ve contributed to an e-Infrastructure or two

• Open (Fast, Timely) Access to research results:– Crucial for the advancement of science– Reaches the unreached: millions of minds worldwide– Crucial to fully achieve return on investment in research
• e-Infrastructures are the catalyst: publications, data• Large critical mass of users sustainability!• Scientists, publishers, librarians, IT all can contribute• We live in a wonderful era of opportunity !
Open Access and e-Infrastructures
e-Infrastructures for Open Access in HEP:•No mandates, no debates•Accelerate sciences, benefit scientists•Born from community needs•Critical mass of users (entire community)•User pull/technology push balance
A glance into the future
SPIRES: first electronic catalogue
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/papers/history.htmlhttp://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/interlab99/program/kunz/EarlyWeb.frame.pdf
• SLAC Library,1974: now 750’000 records• With Fermilab (US) and DESY (DE) Libraries • Electronic catalogue of preprints metadata• Updated with publication reference• Terminal, e-mail interface, 1st WWW in U.S.

There is an experimental W3 server for the SPIRES High energy Physics preprint database, thanks to Terry Hung, Paul Kunz and Louise Addis of SLAC. It's only just been put up, so don't expect perfection. With the w3 line mode browser, follow a link to it from our home page,

Paul Kunz wrote a few days ago:-
"The SLAC Library maintainer of SPIRES databases, Louise Addis, is absolutely delighted. She will ask for a permanent VM service machine and finish off the polishing. Things are really moving now.”
Built on a solid tradition
Building INSPIRE (750’000 records – 40 years)http://www.projecthepinspire.net/
• Synergy of libraries and IT. Roll out end 1Q 2010• Full-text search. Citations. AuthorID. Community.• Bi-directional feeds with arXiv and publishers...and... OA publishing platform, metadata on data, more theses
and grey literature, drop-box for old preprints, “attach” non-text material, user generated tags, folksonomy meet ontology, ...
• Powered by Invenio, developed by CERN (as in OpenAIRE*)• A step towards data (as per PARSE.Insight* findings)• Process information on the GRID (as in D4Science-II*)
(*) FP7 e-Infrastructure projects
Enabling science: the semantic reality!•Make cross-fertilization a reality (hidden link from article X in discipline Y to article W in discipline Z)
•Find me a mentor (mine research proposals from young scientists in emerging economies to find collaborators in the ERA)
•VRE as vibrant communities (people tag and share)Need complete discipline repositories on flexible
software with large and engaged user communities
Scientific Information *is* e-Science
•Scientific information continuum: data -> articles
•GEANT, HPC and the Grid enable data -> articles
•e-Infrastructure opportunity for Open Access
•Enable more Science applying e-Science to articles!
•e-Librarianship intelligence in the e-Infrastructure
Next generation of CERN scientists: our Summer Students
