Presentation Transcript

  1. Scientific Data and Electronic Publishing Enhanced publications in Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries • Renze Brandsma, Head, Digital Production Centre • University of Amsterdam • Maarten Hoogerwerf, Project Manager, Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS)

  2. Overview Presentation • SURF and the national SURFshare program • SURFshare and Enhanced Publications • Introduction Journal of Archeology in the Low Countries • Demonstration of Enhanced Publications • Lessons learned • Conclusions • Questions CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  3. National program: SURFshare • SURFshare, national program in the Netherlands: • common repository infrastructure • share and access scientific and scholarly information • Coordinated by SURF: the collaborative organization for higher education and research institutes aimed at innovations in ICT. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  4. Higher Education in the Netherlands • Netherlands: 500.000 students, 18-25 years old • 13 Universities + 1 Open University • 40 Universities for applied sciences • 5 large public/private Research Institutes • All participate in SURF voluntarily CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  5. Results SURFshare program • Every university has an Institutional Repository • Detailed appointments, guidelines for the use of metadata exchange formats (DC, MODS) • Detailed appointments, guidelines for the use of XML container exchange formats for compound objects (DIDL) • Guidelines used for the European Guidelines (DRIVER) CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  6. Results SURFshare program • One national portal for all metadata of the content of the repositories (narcis.info) • After first four years 100.000 documents. Now 517.723. • All metadata and full text is harvested and long term preserved in the e-depot of the Royal Library CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  7. Continuation SURfshare program: Enhanced Publications • Publications combined with research data • Improve interpretation and verification • Promote available data • Browsable network related items • Several projects • National infrastructure for enhanced publications CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  8. Why Enhanced Publications? • Internet gives researchers and teaching staff broad and easy access to scientific/scholarly sources • It is not only publications that have become available but also the underlying research data, models, algorithms and additional graphics, geographical information, etc. • Adding the underlying research data and models to a publication makes it easier: • to verify, reproduce, and re-use the results of research. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  9. What does SURF call an Enhanced Publication? • An enhanced publication is a publication – usually a text – that has been enhanced with additional material. • The publications can be enriched with research data, tools, audio or video, reviews, and citations. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  10. What does SURF call an Enhanced Publication? • The supplementary material can also consist of models, algorithms, a large amount of extra illustrative images, database queries, metadata sets or post-publication data such as comments or rankings. • An enhanced publication may also make use of other enhanced publications and the associated data sources. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  12. Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries (JALC) One of the projects within SURFshare that recently finished: • The creation of a publishing and archiving infrastructure for enhanced publications for the new Open Access e-Journal of Archeology in the Low Countries (JALC). CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  13. Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries (JALC) • Archaeology generates a large amount of data in the form of databases, photo’s, drawings and GIS data. • JALC allows researchers to visualize the data within their publications as high-resolution images, GIS viewers or dynamic data tables. • JALC address long term archiving of research data on the one hand and dynamic and interactive presentation of research results on the other. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  14. Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries (JALC) • The main aims of this project were: • Allow better understanding of archaeological research by combining publications with research data. • Gain experience with the organization and technology for putting together enhanced publications and making them available. • Increase researcher’s interest for this type of publications and lay the foundations for their long-term involvement. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  15. Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries (JALC) • The project builds upon existing systems: • the data repository from Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) • the web publication environment of the digital production centre of the University of Amsterdam.

  30. Responsibility CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting Maarten Hoogerwerf, 17-06-2009, OAI6

  31. Data storage and retrieval The enhancements of JALC requiredurable, direct and open access to specific data in a specific format. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  32. Durable data visualization The publications need to be consistent: when read online or printed and when read now or over 100 years. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  33. Discovery OAI-ORE enables explicit description and identification of enhanced publications. Of little use without an aggregator like Narcis to expose the relationships between publications, authors, research data, etc. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  34. In practice Researchers are interested in enhancing publications, especially after having read one. They are skeptic about lack of time, know-how and rewards. Publishers are required to put a lot of efforts in the creation of enhanced publications. This can be largely minimized by automation. CNI Spring 2010 Task Force Meeting

  35. Conclusions • Process • Need to encourage researchers • Support / Automate workflow • Infrastructure • Clarify responsibilities for visualization • Need more advanced persistent identifiers • Need a new generation of repositories • Need to extend national aggregator (Narcis) • A follow-up project is currently being defined!
