English abstract

The main benefit of open archives is to optimize the visibility of research results. Universities & research institutes have been setting up OAI compliant repositories with this aim in mind. INRA, a French organization and also the largest agricultural research institute in Europe has set up such a repository in 2005. INRA needs to identify and track its production because it must evaluate individuals, the labs, the departments, etc. and also to produce strategic indicators about the trends of our research activity. These indicators help INRA to direct funding and access the most advanced projects. In 2005, INRA planned a 5-years project to create an Integrated Information System (IIS) that combines different internal applications in order to exchange data and create services for the INRA research community. Directories of INRA people, activities and research laboratories are available in the internet. ProdInra aims to give a large audience to INRA products. As it becomes an applicative tool of this Integrated Information System (IIS), it can also provide services to the agricultural international community based on data coming from the IIS. This communication will present the Integrated Information System as well as the different services provided.
