Standards Implementation
RIOXX Application Profile and Guidelines http://rioxx.net/
• UK focused metadata initiative for research papers.
• Working with UK research funders (RCUK and HEFCE) to align key
metadata requirements to support OA policy compliance
• Simply requires the collection of a few additional metadata fields
(licencing, embargos, funder name, project ID, OA identifier, version)
• It is likely you are already collecting most other RIOXX metadata
• Benefit:
• Enables reporting to funders in the required format
• Will support consistency for key metadata fields to facilitate the tracking
of research outputs across scholarly systems.
• Will facilitate interoperability

RIOXX
What it will and won’t do
• RIOXX AP supports compliance for RCUK policy
• Subset of key metadata that repositories collect and
the aim is to provide consistency with these fields
across scholarly systems. This consistency supports
potential services like Jisc Monitor.
• The additional RIOXX metadata fields may also be
useful for REF submission in due course.
• RIOXX plug-in development for EPrints and Dspace
(not all versions).

Repository Package
Support for awareness and technical integration
• Number of patches, scripts, plug-ins that repositories
need to participate in shared services and standards.
• Developing a layer of support with ePrints, Dspace
and RSP to support institutions in uptake.
• Have started to map out landscape of repositories and
CRISs (Spread Sheet)
• Will begin in Nov after early adopters for RIOXX
