The participating countries or organizations report their complete publication metadata from the years 2014-15 to VIRTA.
The data contents and mandatory fields are listed here.
The pilots exchange their data in similar format, either
- XML file (the pilot uses the Finnish VIRTA XML schema) or
- CSV file (see pilot model file)
If using CSV file, the data can be converted into XML by using a converter tool provided by CSC (coming soon)
The files should be reported by the August 2017 and the pilot will be finished by the Autumn 2017.
