The Big Digital Machine (BDM) is the name for a concept that aggregates and integrates a set of capabilities to provide universities the ability to manage their scholarly output.
C12. Recapturing the Scholarly Record Recommendation 12: Indiana University should pursue a position of leadership in the development (with partners) of new, sustainable models for scholarly publication, dissemination, and curation that enable scholars — and their collective communities — to re-assert control over rights to the scholarly record and its institutional preservation.
Wanted • Open source, community supported system or set of systems • Enterprise scale • Generalized not specialized — useable across multiple disciplinary applications • Infrastructure that enables change and provides the capacity to “bend the curve”
Observations • Many good systems already exist • Not coordinated, but there is not yet much overlap • Most vertically integrated • Good time to modularize the space — define interfaces

“The level of interdependence found in a product is a function of the underlying technology’s maturity. In the early days of most products and services, the components need to be tightly woven together to maximize the functionality from an immature technology that is not yet good enough to satisfy customer needs… As products and their markets mature, technology grows more sophisticated, as do customers. They begin to understand their unique needs and to insist on customized products. Technological maturity makes customization possible. Product and service architectures become more modular in this environment.” Clayton M. Christensen, et. al.

What’s next for the BDM Complete demonstration projects Define structure — Is BDM a Project or a Movement? Establish robust funding for projects — Is BDM the United Way?
BDM provides the capacity to develop new, sustainable models for scholarly publication, dissemination, and curation that enable scholars — and their collective communities — to re-assert control over rights to the scholarly record and its institutional preservation. Recapture the Scholarly Record
