The document reports results of the design, development and dissemination of “Subject-specific Pilots for Enhanced Publications” (T3.1). Being part of WP3 “Studies on practices and principles of OA”, the outcome of the task is twofold:

(i) Development of three prototype applications to showcase how interconnected research information is being managed in different disciplines.

(ii) Experiences and insights gained on a (potentially discipline-independent) implementation of systems capable of managing such linked artefacts that will inform the future development of the OpenAIRE infrastructure and its portal.

This report is based on the paper “Linking Data and Publications: Toward a Cross-Disciplinary Approach” from the same authors. It was presented at the International Digital Curation Conference, Amsterdam 2013 and submitted to the International Journal of Digital Curation.
