From: "Bertino, Andrea Christian" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2017 12:59:21 +0000 Dear Anthony, I am delighted about your interest in our Project. Here are some more details about the project environment. The HIRMEOS Project supports *OPERAS*, a distributed Research Infrastructure project for open scholarly communication. OPERAS main goal is to introduce the principle of Open Science and ensure effective dissemination and global access to research results in the Social Sciences and Humanities. The OPERAS network as of now has 21 partners and is coordinated by *OpenEdition*. You can find More information on the OPERAS website: www.operas-eu.org HIRMEOS Consortium is composed of 9 partners committed to the open access academic book publishing sector at different levels: publication platforms, publishers, academic institutions, European infrastructures (*OpenAire* through Gottingen University and the advisory board, *Dariah*), service providers through the advisory board. Publishers (Ubiquity Press, Open Book Publishers, Göttingen University Press) bring their expertise in academic publishing. European infrastructures (OpenAire and Dariah) will ensure perfect integration of the project into the European open access policy and its strategy regarding research. The three publishers involved are complementary as OBP and UP represent a new generation of academic publishers, digital first, fully open access, exploring new avenues for a major change in the scholarly communication system. Göttingen University Press has to deal with more traditional stakeholders from its position as a library-based university press. Our Platforms (Oapen Library, OpenEdition Books, Ubiquity Press, EKT Open Book Press) bring their expertise as e-infrastructures which have to deal with large collections of documents and important databases. One of their primary missions is to give maximum visibility and discoverability to the content they disseminate and work with the most important scientific information service providers worldwide to that purpose. It is to be noted that OpenEdition Books and EKT Open Book Press are national infrastructures and that OAPEN Library has current projects with major European research funders (ERC, FWF, FNRS, Wellcome Trust). I hope this information will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards Andrea Bertino ******* From: Anthony Watkinson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 09:54:44 +0100 I am very interested to see this list of projects which I and I expect others were not familiar with. I would love to know how this relates to other initiatives with an international basis: it seems to relate to a small group of publishers but surely it must be more than this?

The HIRMEOS newsletter keep you updated about developments in the project *High Integration of Research Monographs in the European Open Science infrastructure *(HIRMEOS) <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5oaXJtZW9zLmV1&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions> . Among the various project activities of the last weeks we are delighted to present you three new deliverables. With the document *Governance and quality assurance of service*, our Work Package (WP) 4 has set the framework for a certification system. The aim is to create a certification system for peer review procedures and open license, for publishing platforms, at the level of publishers, books, and book chapters. The objective within HIRMEOS is to implement the service for publishers that make use of the publishing platforms of project partners (OpenEdition Books <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL2Jvb2tzLm9wZW5lZGl0aW9uLm9yZy8&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>, Ubiquity Press <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy51YmlxdWl0eXByZXNzLmNvbS8&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>, Göttingen University Press <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudW5pdmVybGFnLnVuaS1nb2V0dGluZ2VuLmRlLw&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>, EKT Open Book Press <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL2Vib29rcy5lcHVibGlzaGluZy5la3QuZ3Iv&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions> and OAPEN <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5vYXBlbi5vcmcv&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>). The Certification service is provided by the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kb2Fib29rcy5vcmcv&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>, which is operated by OAPEN. The WP3 tested NERD service on the publishing platforms of project partners. *NERD - Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation* allows the users to analyze any textual resource published on the and to extract from the text the named entities detected, typed and disambiguated by various NE extractor APIs. As expected the NERD service is correctly running on the publishing platforms of project partners and the annotations are following a minimum robustness for each application fields. The WP7 has realized our *Dissemination Toolkit* which can be used by the project partners and by everyone willing to make the HIRMEOS project known. The *Dissemination Toolkit* presents the HIRMEOS design core identity and various dissemination material. On our website you can download <http://www.hirmeos.eu/?email_id=22&user_id=68&urlpassed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5oaXJtZW9zLmV1L3Byb21vdGlvbi1tYXRlcmlhbC8&controller=stats&action=analyse&wysija-page=1&wysijap=subscriptions>different posters and flyers, a small postcard, a layout for PowerPoint presentations as well as the project logo in different formats.
