Partnerships and cooperation

L'Abes, a partner in structuring projects for university and research documentation


Open data for open science

In the context of the Committee for Open Science (CoSO) and National Open Science Plans (1st plan 2018-2021 and 2nd plan 2021-2024),Abes has strengthened its policy in favour of openness and interoperability of the data and systems it administers. Within CoSO,Abes is a member of the Europe and International College.

This national strategic axis is reflected in particular by the voluntary action of the inAbes favour of the openness, quality and interoperability of identifiers and authority data, which is reflected in the wide reuse of the identifierIdRef.

It is also with this objective in mind thatAbes, since its creation at the end of 2019, and in collaboration with the Couperin consortium, the ORCID France consortium for enhanced visibility of researchers' identifiers on an international scale.

Benchmarks

From 2010, the Abes company's commitment to the dissemination of open and interoperable data and identifiers has taken concrete form, in particular through the creation and then widespread reuse of l’identifier IdRef by higher education and research information systems and databases.

As of 2012, the vast majority of metadata produced by member institutions of the networks administered by the Abes Etalab License / Open LicenseThis guarantees its dissemination and free reuse. Consult the conditions of use according to the type of data. 

Building the national digital library

Since its inception in 2012,Abes has been one of the founding members of the project ISTEX. It sits on the Steering Committee ISTEX.

Since 2019, the activity of financial porting for the acquisition of electronic resources under national licence continues in the framework of the Plan de soutien aux éditeurs (MESRI) and in the framework of the Acquisition component of the GIS CollEx-Persée (see below).

In close contact with the negotiators of the Couperin consortium, theAbes is mandated by the MESRI to constitute groupings of ordersTo sign and execute contracts for the acquisition of electronic resources from the main scientific publishers.
 

 

Accompanying the bibliographic transition

Led jointly by the Abes and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), the national program Transition Bibliography is part of an international dynamic of transformation of bibliographic information models.

As part of this program, three national working groups (Training; Standardization; Systems and Data) are producing the new bibliographic description standards resulting from these models. The program fully involves professional associations and training organizations.

As a national bibliographic agency, the NABAbes participates actively in the main bibliographic standardization bodies:

  • French UNIMARC Committee (CFU): the CFU Standardization Mission ManagerAbes is in charge of piloting
  • Permanent Unimarc Committee (PUC), committee under the aegis of theIFLA the Abes Head of Mission Standardization at the PUC where she represents the CFU's requests.
  • EURIG  - European RDA interest group Working Group on Aggregates: the Abes and BnF, as co-pilot of the Transition Bibliographique programme, represents French expectations and specificities.

In addition, within the framework of AFNOR, heAbes is a member of several working groups within the National Commission 46 - Information and Documentation,  mirror of theISO/TC 46, the commission in charge of these missions at the international level.

Launched in 2017 at the instigation of BnFAbes and BnF, which are responsible for steering it under the authority of the Strategic Bibliography Committee (SBC)the National Entity File (NEF) project constitutes a structuring element for the ongoing bibliographical transition. Indeed, the FNE project aims to design a platform for co-producing authority data, called "entities" according to the new bibliographic model. IFLA-LRM.

Serving Collections of Excellence with Collex-Persée

As the national operator serving the libraries of the ESR, itAbes is part of the Council of Members of the Collex-Perse GIS which "encourages and financially supports collaborative approaches to digitization, metadata enrichment and/or the development of other types of services on corpuses of documents and data of various kinds".

Within the framework of its missions, itAbes is involved in several capacities in different Working Groups (WG) coordinated by the GIS Collex-Persée :

  •  WG on Acquisitions Abes is in charge with its partners of the negotiations and national license purchases specialised electronic resources for the use of research communities, to complement the offer already available within the documentation structures
  • WG "Cartography": co-piloted by BnFAbes and BnF
  • Shared Conservation Plans WG
  • WG "Provision of remote documentation".
  • WG on Perennial Digital Archiving

In addition, within the framework of the Calls for Projects regularly launched by Collex-Persée to the ESR library community, Collex-PerséeAbes is a partner in many projects led by institutions, particularly projects relating to the alignment of identifiers or involving the enrichment of authority data.
