This panel discussion focuses on the ongoing updates to the OpenAIRE Interoperability Guidelines, overseen by a global working group comprising OpenAIRE AMKE members and representatives from the international repository community. These updates aim to simplify, harmonize, and globally align metadata guidelines, ensuring interoperability across regional and national repository networks. The working group established in 2023 and active since September 2024, is committed to maintaining the guidelines, evaluating metadata standards, and aligning them with community-specific and regional needs.
The session will highlight significant improvements supporting metadata flexibility, enhanced links to research outputs, alignment with Open Science mandates and promoting FAIRness and quality. Other advancements will be presented, including the transition from different versions of the OpenAIRE guidelines, updates to CRIS guidelines, DataCite schema 4.5 changes and the integration of COAR Controlled Vocabularies.
The panel will feature flash talks by representatives from initiatives such as LA Referencia, LIBSENSE, CARL, OpenAIRE, and organizations like COAR, EuroCRIS, and DataCite. Interactive elements, including live Q&A and real-time polling, will engage participants and gather feedback for further refinement of the guidelines. Insights from this session will contribute to a paper planned for late 2025, summarizing the updates and feedback, further promoting global adoption and alignment of the OpenAIRE guidelines.
