Hi John EThOS is an aggregating service and we would reflect a PhD takedown, but this does not necessarily come from an automated harvest – we are often contacted directly by the institution concerned. There are also different types of ‘take-down’; if access to the content is removed, but information about the content (i.e. metadata) remains on the IR with a statement concerning restricted access and/or an embargo date, this would be picked up by aggregating services via OAI-PMH. If the take-down results in the complete removal of both content and metadata, however, this won’t necessarily be communicated via OAI-PMH; the standard does not require the data provider service to ‘export deletions’ – the repository has to be configured to do this. OAI-PMH deletions consist of the OAI ID and a status of ‘deleted’ – not the full record - and not all aggregating services process these ‘deletions’ even if they are exported. The best policy, therefore, is to retain the metadata but restrict access and this should then be reflected in the aggregating services harvesting your data/content. Best wishes Heather Heather Rosie EThOS Repository Metadata Manager The British Library [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 01937 546945 From: Repositories discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Murtagh Sent: 21 May 2015 15:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Non-harvesting: copyright agreement Dear all I have a two-part query on behalf of a colleague who is publishing in the journal Program http://www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/prog published by Emerald. The copyright agreement makes the following demand: "I/We will not permit others to electronically gather or harvest and save to a separate server my/our Work" I'm scratching my head as to how this is preventable for the following reasons: 1) content aggregation services such as Core http://core.ac.uk/ and others who harvest journal publications from repositories to their servers and 2) the paper will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC-BY) which allows reuse. A secondary question of what happens when a local repository retires, takes down or withdraws an item - is this ever reflected in these aggregation services? An example I can give is a PhD thesis which has been taken down at the request of the student. Any views/thoughts or experiences welcome!
