The Open Archives movement at INRIA: present and the future

HAL

As a signatory of the Berlin Declaration, INRIA promotes free access to the scientific output of its researchers, while ensuring the long-term archiving of that output.
The institute encourages all researchers to submit their work to the Open Archive. This will increase their visibility while helping scientists to regain control of scientific publications.
The HAL-INRIA Open Archive provides an interface for submitting and viewing publications specific to the ICT field. This interface will be enhanced to incorporate new features according to user requirements.
The documents submitted via HAL-INRIA are added to HAL, which is becoming the submission platform for the French scientific community. The organizations using HAL are working to adapt scientific classifications, design interfaces for suitable topical submissions, upgrade the platform with new tools and services (ex. OpenConf for the workshops management) and ensure the institutions' visibility of the submitters.

Key dates

November 14, 2007: The French National Research Agency (ANR) requests that researchers submit all publications from projects financed by the agency to the HAL open archive system, respecting applicable intellectual property and confidentiality requirements. This confirms the model of open distribution of scientific results; the ANR has recognized its impact in term of visibility and attractiveness. Please refer to JULIET for information on research funders' policies on open access data archiving and open access publishing.

July 6, 2006: Draft agreement is signed to support a nationally coordinated approach for open submissions of scientific production. Among the signatories: CNRS, INRIA, INRIA, INSERM, IRD, CPU.

November 24, 2005: Jean-Pierre Verjus introduced "HAL, an open-archive for the French scientific community" at the World Summit on the Information Society at a round table session organized by the French delegation and dedicated to "knowledge dissemination, numerical media and networks" (in French).

April 27, 2005: INRIA Open Archive is launched based on the HAL (Hyper Articles en Ligne) model. It was developed by a joint team from DISC (INRIA) and CCSD (CNRS), which sought the optimal balance between the OAI - PMH protocol and key information (metadata), and the proper institutional and documentary qualification of the submitted documents.

March 24, 2005: Press release by Gilles Kahn for the opening of HAL-INRIA, on the Southampton Open Archives server.

March 23, 2005: Joint press release by CNRS, INSERM, INRA and INRIA on free access to research results.

July 20, 2004:INRIA, via Gilles Kahn, signs the Berlin Declaration, to promote the model for free access to worldwide scientific literature.

June 24, 2004: Gilles Kahn, INRIA President and CEO, signs an INRIA-CNRS framework agreement concerning direct scientific communication.

The appearance of open archives

1991 : creation of the arXiv.org Archives by Paul Ginsparg, physicist. Publications are submitted to a server in pre-publication form, archived, and are freely accessible to all.

1997 : creation by Stephan Harnad of the CogPrints archive, where pre- and post-publication articles are submitted in domains such as psychology, the neurosciences, etc.

1999 - 2001 : creation of the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) during the Santa Fe Convention; this standard would become an international norm and would enable the development of open archives.

Open Archives
The OAI - PMH (Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) protocol specifies the standards for recording and exchanging metadata which is required to make archives interoperable.
The free EPrints.org software, developed at the University of Southampton, enables self-archiving of research publications on the servers of their institutions. It enables interoperability with all the open archives using the OAI procotol.
OAI Harvesters are increasingly able to query the various AOI-PMH compatible archives; the most extensive is OAIster (University of Michigan), but there are others.

2000 : creation of CCSD at CNRS.

2001 : creation of HAL by CCSD, directed by Franck Laloë (Kasteler Brossel-ENS Laboratory), in collaboration with Paul Ginsparg's team.

The open archives movement is spreading, promoted by organizations that finance research, and has led to declarations by scientists and organizations in several countries:

The European Union Council expresses its opinion in favor of free access. Committee on scientific information in the digital age: http://www.consilium.europa.eu/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressData/fr/intm/97240.pdf

November, 2007
The French National Research Agency (ANR) encourages researchers to submit their publications into the HAL open archives. The ANR asks that all publications from projects that it finances must be submitted to the HAL national open archive system, respecting intellectual economic rights and confidentiality. The ANR confirms the model of open distribution of scientific results, and recognizes its impact in terms of visibility and attractiveness.
