Effettivamente si possono seguire in diretta su Twitter 
http://twitter.com/openaire i commenti dei 48 partecipanti al primo 
incontro ad Atene del progetto OpenAIRE http://www.openaire.eu/ .

Il progetto vedi coinvolti per l'Italia il CASPUR (in quanto partner di 
PLEIADI) e il CNR e intende favorire la disseminazione dei contenuti 
scientifici degli autori europei e la diffusione della pratica del 
deposito, in assenza di una completa presenza di despositi 
istituzionali, creando un' infrastruttura che permetterà di 
re-indirizzare gli autori da OpenAIRE ai depositi delle proprie 
istituzioni o quelli disciplinari; nel caso in cui l'autore non dispone 
un archivio (istituzionale o disciplinare) in cui depositare, l'autore 
depositerà il suo output in un repository "orphan" gestito dal CERN su 
tecnologia INVENIO.

Segue breve descrizione del progetto (in inglese) dal sito ISGTW 
http://www.isgtw.org/?pid=1002201.

Stepping in to provide this open access e-infrastructure is the OpenAIRE 
project, which will be launched on the first of December, 2009. The 
project will run for three years in its first phase. OpenAIRE’s 
proposal, with a budget of about €5 million, was approved in September 
after the EC put out a call for a project that would create the 
e-Infrastructure to disseminate scientific results to anyone, anywhere, 
at anytime.

Researchers approaching OpenAIRE with a document will first be directed 
to the repository of their home institute, if one exists. If the 
researcher is in a discipline which has a repository structure for the 
entire discipline (the high energy physics community, for example, 
frequently uses arXiv.org <http://www.arXiv.org>) they will be directed 
there. If the document is still without a home, the researcher will use 
an “orphan” repository, hosted at CERN, which will provide everyone a 
chance to submit their results — which would otherwise be lost.

OpenAIRE technology is based on two technologies: DNET 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNET>, developed by the DRIVER 
<http://www.driver-repository.eu/Driver-About/About-DRIVER.html> 
consortium, will connect the existing repositories, while the orphan 
repository technology is based on Invenio 
<http://cdsware.cern.ch/invenio/index.html>, a digital library software 
that has been developed by the CERN Document Server team in the IT 
department at CERN over the past 15 years — serving the basis for CDS 
<http://cdsweb.cern.ch/>. Other partners, about 35 in total, will 
provide service help to users. OpenAIRE will therefore be not just a 
technical infrastructure, but a human one as well.
