Relaunch of the Database Information System DBIS: Open Data, Local Views, Global Collaboration

  • The German scientific landscape is becoming increasingly international, and with it the Database Information System (DBIS). As a result of the DFG-funded project, a modernized version will be released in 2024, in which English-language use and thus more international cooperation will be possible. DBIS is a digital reference tool developed by the University Library of Regensburg, which supports its users in selecting the academic databases they need for their research. Since its foundation over two decades ago, DBIS has grown into a supra-regional service. DBIS is currently being expanded and adapted to the new needs of the community of institutions, data exchange partners and end users (funded by the DFG -440516279). Several hundred libraries are working together openly, locally and globally according to the guiding principle of "quality through cooperation": Open The development of the new DBIS was designed to be open and the community was closely involved from the outset. When the new version goes live, the metadata will be provided with a cc0 license. DBIS using institutions can also agree that their license data can be exchanged with other systems via the new REST API. Local Metadata in DBIS are currently and will continue to be maintained cooperatively by all participating libraries. This combines high data quality with labor savings for the individual institution. There is also a local view of an institution's database holdings. Libraries can place their corporate design, including the logo and main color. Global To ensure that DBIS can be made accessible to a more international community in the future, English as well as German user interfaces and administration tools are now available. Institutions from non-German-speaking countries such as the USA and Sweden have already shown interest in joining the DBIS community. DBIS offers international newbies the advantage of a large data pool - there are currently almost 7,000 freely accessible databases in DBIS!
