*ABOUT THE WEBINAR:*

The *OpenAIRE Guidelines for Data Source Managers* provide recommendations and best practices for encoding of bibliographic information in OAI metadata. The *Guidelines* have adopted established standards for different classes of content providers: (1) Dublin Core for textual publications in institutional and thematic repositories; (2) DataCite Metadata Kernel for research data repositories; and (3) CERIF-XML for Current Research Information Systems.

The principle of these *Guidelines* is to improve interoperability of bibliographic information exchange between repositories, e-journals, CRIS and research infrastructures. They are a means to help content providers to comply with funders Open Access policies, e.g. the European Commission Open Access mandate in Horizon2020, and to standardize the syntax and semantics of funder/project information, open access status, links between publications and datasets. The presenters will provide an overview of the *Guidelines*, implementation support in major platforms and tools for validation.
