WEB SOFTWARE
Besides developing much needed philosophical concepts,
software tools constitute crucial building stones of all
Open Access projects, because these projects became possible
only because of technology advances.
When building an Open Access Ressource Server,
the overall philosophy of Open Access tends to
strongly recommend an implementation using
Free Software ( or at least Open Source software), so that all Open Access projects may
rely on a commoun source of software, be interoperable and do not waste time
in fruitless endeavors.

- CrossRef :
CrossRef's general purpose is to promote the development and cooperative use of new and innovative technologies to speed and facilitate scholarly research. The specific CrossRef mission is to be the citation linking backbone for all scholarly information in electronic form.
CrossRef is a collaborative reference linking service that functions as a sort of digital switchboard.
It holds no full text content, but rather effects linkages through Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)
,
which are tagged to article metadata supplied by the participating publishers.
The end result is an efficient, scalable linking system through
which a researcher can click on a reference citation in a journal and access the cited article.
At the beginning of 2000, the world's leading scholary publishers joined
to form the non-profit, independent organization, Publishers International Linking Association, Inc. (PILA)
, which operates CrossRef.
The Board of Directors comprises representatives from AAAS (Science), AIP, ACM, APA,
Blackwell Publishers, Elsevier Science, IEEE, Kluwer, Nature, OUP, Sage, Springer, and Wiley.

( supported by the Digital Library Federation, the Coalition for Networked Information,
National Science Foundation Grant No. IIS-9817416 (Project Prism))
- GNU EPrints
Creates OAI-compliant Archives quickly, easily and for free.
OAI-compliance means all Archives created in this way are "interoperable."
They use the same (OAI) convention for tagging their metadata (author, title, date, journal, etc.).
That means the contents of all such Archives can be harvested integrated, navigated
and searched seamlessly, as if they were all in one global "virtual" archive.
EPrints software to be used in Strategy 1 (self-archiving) of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
EPrints software can also be used to create OAI-compliant Archives for open-access journals
(BOAI Strategy 2).

DSpace is an open source software platform that enables institutions to:
- * capture and describe digital works using a submission workflow module
- * distribute an institution's digital works over the web through a search and retrieval system
- * preserve digital works over the long term
