Partnerships and cooperation
L'Abes, a partner in structuring projects for university and research documentation
Open data for open science
Within the framework of the Committee for Open Science (CoSO) and the national plans for open science(1st plan 2018-2021 and 2nd plan 2021-2024),Abes has strengthened its policy in favour of openness and interoperability of the data and systems it administers. Within CoSO,Abes is a member of the Europe and International College.
Go to ouvrirlascience.fr This national strategy is reflected in particular in the proactive action taken byAbes to promote theopenness, quality and interoperability of identifiers and authority data , as evidenced by the widespread reuse of the identifier IdRef.

It is also with this objective in mind thatAbes, in collaboration with the Couperin consortium, has been coordinating the ORCID France consortium for enhanced visibility of researchers' identifiers on an international scale.
Benchmarks
Since 2010,Abes 's commitment to the dissemination of open and interoperable data and identifiers has been reflected in the creation and wide reuse of the IdRef identifier by higher education and research information systems and databases.
Since 2012, the vast majority of metadata produced by the member institutions of the networks administered byAbes are under the Etalab / Open Licence, which guarantees their dissemination and free reuse. Consult the conditions of use according to the type of data.
Building the national digital library
From 2019 onwards, the activity of financial porting for the acquisition of electronic resources under national licence continues within the framework of the Plan de soutien aux éditeurs (MESRI) and within the framework of the Acquisition component of the GIS CollEx-Persée (see below).
Accompanying the bibliographic transition
Led jointly byAbes and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), the National Bibliographic Transition Programme is part of an international dynamic of transformation of bibliographic information models.
Access to the BnF As part of this program, three national working groups (Training; Standardization; Systems and Data) are producing the new bibliographic description standards resulting from these models. The program fully involves professional associations and training organizations.
As a national bibliographic agency, the NABAbes participates actively in the main bibliographic standardization bodies:
- French UNIMARC Committee (CFU): the Standards Officer ofAbes is in charge of the steering
- Permanent Unimarc Committee (PUC), a committee under the aegis ofIFLA: the Standards Officer ofAbes sits on the PUC where she represents the demands of the CFU
- EURIG - European RDA interest group Working Group on Aggregates: Abes and BnF, as co-pilot of the Bibliographic Transition programme, represents French expectations and specificities
In addition, within the framework of AFNOR,Abes is a member of several working groups within the National Commission 46 - Information and Documentation, which mirrorsISO/TC 46, the commission responsible for these missions at international level.
Launched in 2017 under the impetus of theAbes and the BnF, which are piloting it under the authority of the Bibliographic Strategic Committee (BSC), the National Entity File (FNE) project is a structuring element for the current bibliographic transition. Indeed, the FNE project aims to design a platform for the co-production of authority data, called "entities" according to the new IFLA-LRM bibliographic model.
Serving Collections of Excellence with Collex-Persée
As a national operator at the service of ESR libraries,Abes is part of the Council of Members of the GIS Collex-Persée, which "encourages and financially supports collaborative approaches to digitisation, metadata enrichment and/or the development of other types of services on corpora of documents and data of various kinds".
Go to CollEx-Persée Within the framework of its missions, itAbes is involved in several capacities in different Working Groups (WG) coordinated by the GIS Collex-Persée :
- Acquisitions" WG:Abes is in charge, with its partners, of negotiations and purchases under national licence of specialised electronic resources, for the use of research communities, in addition to the offer already available within the documentation structures
- WG "Cartography": co-piloted by BnFAbes and BnF
- consult: Study for a document mapping tool
- Shared Conservation Plans WG
- WG "Provision of remote documentation".
- WG on Perennial Digital Archiving
In addition, within the framework of the Calls for Projects regularly launched by Collex-Persée to the ESR library community, Collex-PerséeAbes is a partner in many projects led by institutions, particularly projects relating to the alignment of identifiers or involving the enrichment of authority data.
L'Abes, partner of the main actors of scientific and technical information
The missions carried out by the ISTAbes are carried out within the framework of partnerships and operational cooperation with the main actors in the field of STI and documentation:
Cooperation within the framework of the SGBm agreement and the registration of doctoral theses to enable interoperability between the STAR / STEP and APOGÉE production environments and the registration management system set up by the AMUE
Exchanges and sharing of data; co-piloting of the Bibliographic Transition programme and the project to implement a National Entity File (FNE)
Data exchange between Calames and the CERL portal; membership of the HPB - Heritage Print Booksdatabase
Cooperation in the framework of the valorisation and reporting of defended PhD theses (and other versions of the thesis) deposited on the HAL theses platform, an open archive for the deposit of theses implemented by the CCSD. For more information

Sudoc is based on the Central Bibliographic System (CBS) and its software suite, distributed by OCLC. As such,Abes , as a CBS partner, participates in the international user group dedicated to the exchange of information and technical guidance. The member institutions of the Sudoc network wishing to benefit from the localization services and the Worldcat APIs have the possibility toJoin OCLC.
In 2020, the French-speaking network of documentation signed a partnership withAbes to supplyIdRef with data relating to French-speaking Switzerland and to develop its use in Swiss libraries
InvolvementAbes in professional associations
The Association of ESR Library Directors representsAbes the interests of the ESR's documentary institutions, particularly in the work of the SSI Commission - Reporting and Information Systems.
Each year, itAbes participates in the congress of the European League of Research Libraries (LIBER), whose president is a member of the Scientific Council of the European Union.Abes
