Certified Integrators
A ‘certified integrator’ is a party that, on behalf of a primary stakeholder (a funder, an institution, or a publisher) technically integrates with the OA Switchboard API in the standard message structure. A party can request to be awarded the ‘certificate’, after which a formal assessment and check will be done, and a decision taken.
The certification process is described in our Code, and includes:
-
the integration is operational for minimal 2 institutions and/or 2 funders and/or 2 publishers
-
the integration is operational for minimal 2 month, with sufficient volume
-
all direct stakeholders in (Stichting) OA Switchboard satisfied
