Looking back: DeepGreen user meeting at the BiblioCon 2025

This year’s DeepGreen user meeting took place on 25.06.2025 as part of BiblioCon 2025 in Bremen. 18 users took part in the event.

At the beginning of the meeting, the technical developments of the past year and the new operating model were presented. We are currently working on a sustainable operating model and the repositories are to participate in the financing of the service at the beginning of next year.

The subsequent Q&A session led to a very constructive discussion, which resulted in the request for a list of arguments as to why libraries should pay for DeepGreen.

This was followed by a presentation on the current publishing negotiations and the planned community building measures.

This year, the DeepGreen client was presented in the input section. A prototype of an automated article retrieval system for Opus 4 repositories is to be developed this year as an alternative to SWORD. The participants discussed whether such a client would also be interesting for other types of repository software.

Finally, there was brief time for discussion in small groups. The opportunity to exchange ideas was well used and current challenges were discussed.

We would like to thank everyone who took part and look forward to seeing you again next year!

DeepGreen user meeting at the BiblioCon 2025 in Bremen

This year’s DeepGreen user meeting will take place on 25.06.2025 from 09:00 -10:30 in the Salon Roselius at BiblioCon 2025 in Bremen.

It will begin with a presentation of the technical innovations, the current publishing cooperations and the planned community building. In addition, the new operating and financing model will be presented in the first part of the event.

As a special topic, there will be a brief presentation of the planned DeepGreen client, and thus another way to automatically obtain DeepGreen articles without using the SWORD interface. Finally, users will have the opportunity to discuss current topics in small groups.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Looking back: Open Access Days 2024 in Cologne

Exciting Open Access days are behind us and we would like to thank everyone for the interesting discussions at the DeepGreen poster.

Together with the participants of the poster session, we considered whether DeepGreen can also be used to mine diamonds. The aim of our poster was to engage with the community and find out whether Diamond Open Access is also a relevant topic for DeepGreen.

Anyone who did not have the chance to take part in the Open Access Days 2024 or visit the DeepGreen poster can find the poster on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/13758695


We look forward to seeing you again in Konstanz!

DeepGreen poster at the Open Access Days 2024

Visit us next week at the Open Access Days!

On 11.09.24 we will present a poster on DeepGreen and Diamond Open Access at the Poster Session from 11 am to 1 pm.

Come along and let’s consider together whether DeepGreen can also be used to mine diamonds.

We look forward to seeing you!

Looking back: DeepGreen user meeting at the BiblioCon 2024 in Hamburg

The DeepGreen user meeting took place on June 5, 2024 at BiblioCon 2024 in Hamburg and was well attended with 20 participants.

At the beginning of the user meeting, the current status was presented and an outlook on new publishing cooperations and technical developments was given. This year’s special topic was a brief introduction to Diamond Open Access and possible uses for DeepGreen. Afterwards, the users had time to exchange ideas. Three groups were formed for this purpose: a group for OPUS repositories, a group for DSpace and a group for MyCoRe, EPrints and in-house developments. The opportunity to exchange ideas was well used and current challenges were discussed.

We would like to thank everyone who took part and look forward to seeing you again next year!

DeepGreen Consultation on 06.11.23

, ,

On 06.11.23 another DeepGreen consultation took place for our participating repositories. After a presentation of current developments in DeepGreen (publishing cooperation with Copernicus, optimization of metadata mapping, DeepGreen & Elsevier DEAL), we reviewed the recent Open Access Days 2023, which took place in Berlin in September. In reviewing the discussions at this conference, we discussed possible service extensions to DeepGreen, such as metadata delivery without full-text and retrieval of individual full-texts via DOI matching. We also discussed a poster on the extension of the EZB interface, which was also presented at the Open Access Days. As a result, we identified the integration of the ROR ID in the EZB metadata as a priority for DeepGreen, as this would greatly facilitate institutional attribution. Other topics discussed were the handling of duplicates and error messages in the SWORD interface in DSpace. All participating repositories are explicitly invited to participate in this recurring exchange format.

DeepGreen at the Open Access Days 2023

We are excited to be part of the Open Access Days 2023 in Berlin this week. On Thursday 9/28/2013 we will be presenting our talk “Did you get what you paid for? Monitoring publisher data in DeepGreen” and hope to have a lively discussion. In our presentation, we will address the topic of monitoring publisher data. The goal of such monitoring is to improve quality and ensure complete data delivery through DeepGreen.

DeepGreen Users’ Meeting at the BiblioCon in Hannover

,

As in June 2022 at the Library Congress in Leipzig, a DeepGreen users’ meeting was held again this year on May 23., this time as part of the 111. BiblioCon in Hannover. The event was well attended with about 30 participants. In addition to representatives of the repositories cooperating with DeepGreen, curious external visitors were also present.

DeepGreen staff members Tim Raab (BSB München) and Stefan Lohrum (KOBV) reported on current developments in the area of publisher cooperations, as well as on technical innovations such as metadata mapping and delivery of the DEAL-Springer data.

As a guest, Thorsten Wetzenstein from the University Library of the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel gave a keynote presentation entitled “Deepgreen – an interface-driven approach to data enrichment and analysis: conception of a workflow with modules in RStudio”. The talk presented approaches to bibliometric analysis of the data provided by DeepGreen using the Bibliometrix tool.

The slides of both presentations will be available on the BIB-OPUS publication server soon.

The meeting, which was held under the motto of exchange and development, concluded with a speed dating session for the DeepGreen participants, which was intended to serve the exchange of experiences and networking. There were 12 people involved in this interactive format.

We are very pleased with the participation and hope to see you again soon in a year’s time.

First DeepGreen users’ meeting at the 8th Library Congress 2022 in Leipzig

The first DeepGreen users’ meeting took place at the 8th Library Congress in Leipzig on 2 June 2022. The topic of the workshop was the long-term future perspective of DeepGreen and 15 people discussed different possibilities for the long-term development of the service together with the DeepGreen team.
Various options were presented in several input presentations. An expansion of the available content in the direction of Diamond OA, Subscribe to Open, monographs, Open Educational Resources or research data was discussed, also cooperation possibilities with other projects such as OA-Switchboard, ChronosHub, OA-STRUKTKOMM or ROR.
After the input presentations, the participants discussed and prioritised the presented points again in two groups.
The result (see photo) clearly shows that DeepGreen should continue to follow the path that the service has already taken in the long term. The top priority is still the green content of consortial licence agreements. Of interest is the expansion of content in the direction of monographs, conference papers and other OA models. Both groups emphasise the urgent need to prioritise deliveries and fear a flooding of repositories if content is expanded too much, for example in the direction of research data or Open Educational Resources.

The exchange with the users was productive and very enriching. We thank everyone for their participation.
