Exposure and visibility of content from a range of European repositories will be significantly increased when a common and interoperable approach is taken and care to adhere to existing guidelines. This compatibility will lead to future interoperability between research infrastructures, and structured metadata is of benefit to individual data repositories and the knowledge community at large.

OpenAIRE is starting to move from a publication infrastructure to a more comprehensive infrastructure that covers all types of scientific output: publications and research data. To put this into practice, the infrastructure will rely heavily on implementing its guidelines, and it has recently developed an integrated suite of guidelines.

This session will briefly outline the three OpenAIRE sets of guidelines: who they are targeted at, the benefits of guidelines, and how to implement them. By implementing the OpenAIRE Guidelines, repository managers will be able to enable authors to fulfill the European Commission Open Access requirements, as well as the requirements of other (national or international) funders with whom OpenAIRE cooperates. In addition, it will allow the OpenAIRE infrastructure to add value-added services such as discoverability and linking, and creation of enhanced publications. In short, building the stepping-stones for a linked data infrastructure for research.
