  1. Metadata towards an e-research cyberinfrastructure The case of French ETDs DC 2006

  2. Summary • Introducing ARTIST and authors of this collective work • Main actors operating on French ETDs • Their roles; Their metadata • 3 case studies • Creating metadata: thinking about reusability • Thematic survey around biodiversity: thinking vocabularies • Institutional survey: thinking ontologies • Conclusion DC 2006

  3. Authors • Jacques DUCLOY – INIST, ARTIST • Yann Nicolas – ABES • Diane Le Hénaff - INRA • Muriel FOULONNEAU – now CCSD • Luc GRIVEL – Univ. Paris 1 • Jean-Paul DUCASSE – Univ. Lyon 2 • + several little interventions and comments DC 2006

  4. ARTIST members • Networked workshop • Appropriation • by Research Communities • of Technologies • of Scientific & Technical Information • Community of: • Researchers & Engineers • Information Science & Information Technologies • working in research world • http://artist.inist.fr/ DC 2006

  5. ARTIST topics • How to build • Digital Library • or scholarly publishing applications • dealing with e-science? • New approaches to make research or science in a cyberinfrastructure DC 2006

  6. ARTIST e-Science experimentations • Scientific forum • Sample: cooperative linguistic discussion • Carl Lagoze paper about DL • What is a Digital Library ? • Scientific journal: AMETIST • Appropriation, Mutualisation, Experimentation • Digital writing • Richer on-line version • Experience becomes “reproductible” • Paper view • Scientific focus and evaluation purpose • Digital Library experimentations (metadata -> DL) • Cooperative writing: this article DC 2006

  7. This article: metadata for e-science Not only for: • (scientific) information retrieval But also for: • + research evaluation • + federative digital libraries • + research policy oriented studies • + scientific surveys DC 2006

  8. main entities dealing with French ETDs • Universities • And their national organization • EPST (National Research Institute) • Sample CNRS : 30,000 people • European framework • Each country gets its own organization • + European actions (Delos, DRIVER…) • Francophone framework • International framework • Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), • ePrints application profile DC 2006

  9. Translation difficulties showing different approaches • Thèse = ETD • Thesis (English context) • Dissertation (US context) • Veille scientifique • Scientific survey (using informetric tools) • In order to discover innovations • Pilotage de la recherche • research policy oriented studies • Strong role of French administration DC 2006

  10. Actor: Cyberthèses Xml / TEI ETD Word + style Jury Cyberdocs OpenOffice + XSLT PDF DC 2006

  11. Cyberthèses metadata • Thesis document: Xml, TEI-Lite • Xml version must be readable by a human being • Metadata: • DC • ETD-ms (Electronic Thesis & Dissertation Metadata Standard) • Further related axis: • TEI header, • Latex -> MathML DC 2006

  12. Actor: ABES Ministry of Education Agency Preservation Dissemination (CINES) Star Union catalog University: ETD Sudoc portal Persistent Identifier DC 2006

  13. Abes / Star metadata • TEF (Thèses Electroniques Françaises) • AFNOR standard (French member of ISO) • Dublin Core Qualified • With several ETD adaptations (jury…) • METS Rights • Using Schematron DC 2006

  14. Actor: CCSD • Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe Researcher author TEL Inserm Local Archive … HAL: National Archive International Archive (Arxiv, Driver…) Thematic Archive Researcher reader DC 2006

  15. CCSD metadata • At the beginning: local schema • Strong relationship between: • Author • University, laboratory, research team • DC export / OAI - PMH DC 2006

  16. Hal: institutional repository • A French advantage related to open archive • « Protocole d’accord Universités EPST sur les dépots par les chercheurs » • In CNRS each researcher must produce an activity report which in generated by Hal/CCSD • Some scientific headers can request a CCSD deposit DC 2006

  17. Actor: INIST/CNRS • Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique • http://www.inist.fr • Pascal & Francis bibliographic data bases • 15,000,000 XML records • Scientific Portals, • Scientific information analysis • Vocabularies: termSciences DC 2006

  18. INIST - metadata • Bibliographic records • Exodic • Origin: CCF based MARC format • Translated in SGML in 92 • now with a DCQ approach • Strong links between authors and affiliations • termSciences • ISO 16642 (TMF) DC 2006

  19. The landscape we would like to have Thesis Articles Cyberthèses CCSD INIST STAR OAI-PMH Local archive DC 2006

  20. Case study: sharing theses and their metadata • Thinking about reusability by several actors which interoperate during ETD life cycle Inra Inra unit Univ. Lab. ETD Ecole doctorale University Abes/star DC 2006

  21. Sharing metadata • Administrative metadata are requested for a quite complex workflow • Contents must be matched • A given person could have different names… • Different ways of naming units… • Different classification schemes… DC 2006

  22. Case study 2: BiodivERsA • BiodivERsA: European research policy network about biodiversity • x * 10 funding agencies, • y*100 research program • z * 1000 projects • x1 * 10000 results … • distributed network of CRIS • CRIS: Current Research Information System DC 2006

  23. CRIS… DL Thematic DL Archive Vocabulary adaptations Global DL Thematic CRIS Thematic Archive Classification schemas must be matched for computation purpose (funding evaluation) DC 2006

  24. Affiliation must be managed with ontologies Case study 3 UHP CNRS INRIA CRIN Loria Inria Lorraine Inria Sophia YT Orpailleur Cortex Oméga DC 2006

  25. A technical conclusion • Metadata (DCQ) is good but not sufficient • We need • vocabulary adaptations, ontologies • Sharing several repositories (vocabularies, affiliations…) • Managing metadata history • etc DC 2006

  26. The very conclusion • We need to help people working altogether and doing compromises • We need researcher becoming owners of their scientific information system… • We need librarians appropriating technologies and helping researcher to appropriate librarian feeling • We need engineers in computer science appropriating library and edition issues That is what we try to help to do with ARTIST DC 2006

  27. Thank you for your listening • Thank you for your questions… DC 2006
