The first major technical improvement of the publishing platforms involved in the project has been achieved. The Work Package lead by the Greek National Documentation Center (EKT) has enabled four of the five book platforms – Ubiquity Press had already implemented – to develop identification services with minimum shared standards. The platforms can now add unique identifiers to documents (DOI) and their authors (ORCID) and link them to research projects (Fundref).<\/p>\n

Attributing DOI to books, which are normally identified through the traditional ISBN system, allow crosslinking to and from other publications and data through crosslinking services such as Crossref.<\/p>\n

Currently, bibliographical references to the books and within the books published online don\u2019t have links, and require the readers to check in a search engine if the reference can be accessed online and where.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, ISBNs identify books but not book chapters. DOI can be attributed to book chapters, and at an even lower level of granularity (figures, tables). The granularity achieved by precise citation increases both efficiency (through saving users\u2019 time) and impact (through vastly improved discoverability and exploitation of content).<\/p>\n

Enabling crosslinking on books, HIRMEOS project facilitates users navigating between documents and between documents and data.<\/p>\n
