Sector and enterprise efficiency Rationale: Finch and Open Mirror reports identify major inefficiencies in institutional / shared systems eg repositories Value: Increased efficiencies in repository / CRIS operations. Repository and CRIS CASRAI, V4OA, some elements of the “repository package”, ORCID pilots Standards, protocols, vocabularies Guidelines Implementation guidance Reference implementations Will be able to track research across scholarly systems and tie publication with research funding. Institutions are easily able to meet funder requirements (REF, RCUK policies etc) through their systems. Funders better able to monitor compliance to policies and move towards a more automatic way of compliance. Supports the building new services and functions needed by the community (Jisc Monitor) Update application profile to include V4OA outputs. Meets RCUK requirements and Where feasible also HEFCE requirements. (March/April 2014. Update software patches: May (2014) Repositories start to integrate plug-in/metadata in repositories.

Improving metadata quality is required by a number of services such as IRUS, CORE, OpenAIRE, Jisc Monitor.
