Repositories and Linked Open Data: the view from myExperiment
Get PDFWhile some repositories are focused on data, the myExperiment project has demonstrated the value in sharing the methods that are used to process that data - sharing know-how and building new capabilities through the community. Evolving usage of the website provides glimpses of the future behaviour of researchers and an exploration of what researchers might be sharing in the future instead of papers. This exploration of social sharing and ad hoc reuse has taken the project into the world of scholarly research objects, linked data and what might be described as "Linked Open Methods". We now see researchers beginning to share new methods that operate at this next level of research
Infrastruktur für elektronische Zeitschriften
Get PDFDas Serviceangebot der UB, das unter der Sammelbezeichnung "Publikationsdienste" läuft, umfasst aktuell neben den Repositories BieColl, BieSOn und BiPrints u.a. auch die technische und organisatorische Unterstützung bei der Herausgabe von e-Journals. In der Veranstaltung werden die Dienstleistungen der Bibliothek anhand des erfolgreichen Pilotprojekts "Zeitschrift für Soziologie (ZfS)" dargestellt

Get PDFWebometrie - Entwicklung und Perspektiven
Get PDFDas Forschungsgebiet der Webometrie untersucht quantitative Aspekte der Erstellung und der Nutzung von Informationsquellen im Web und greift dabei auf bibliometrische und informetrische Methoden zurück. Anstatt bibliographische Datenbanken für die Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Veröffentlichungen heranzuziehen, nutzt sie Web-Suchmaschinen wie Google, Yahoo! oder Bing, um wissenschaftliche Strukturbildungsprozesse für die Analyse zugänglich zu machen. Für die Bibliothek und ihre Digitalen Dienste im Web eröffnet die Webometrie neue Perspektiven. Sie erlaubt nicht nur die Beobachtung der (Nach)Nutzung von Webangeboten und, darauf aufbauend, ihrer Optimierung, sondern bietet auch Methoden des Vergleichs mit anderen Einrichtungen an. Der Vortrag führt zuerst kurz in die Grundbegriffe und Methoden der Webometrie sowie ihrer Rankingverfahren ein. Anschließend werden praktische Tools und Strategien vorgestellt, wie die UB Bielefeld diesen neuen Herausforderungen begegnet. Hierbei stehen das Ranking Web of World Repositories sowie eine Linkanalyse der Webseiten der UB Bielefeld und des Repositories BiPrints im Vordergrund
Blacklight: Leveraging Next Generation Discovery
Get PDFBlacklight is an open source, next generation discovery application. Originally developed to serve as an overarching "discovery layer" for libraries, its design and engineering give it the necessary feature set and flexibility to also serve as a repository interface, capable of fronting content of any kind, local or remote. With a rich set of search, browse and view functions, Blacklight's look, features and behaviors can be readily configured to meet local needs "out of the box". As an application with a modular architecture, it provides a framework capable of supporting additional libraries and widgets that extend Blacklight's capabilities beyond resource discovery. And as a vibrant open source project integrating enhancements and development from more than a dozen institutions, Blacklight is becoming a proven platform for content discovery and access, agnostic of underlying systems or repositories. This presentation will demonstrate the broad-based utility of Blacklight, including its key features, its use in different contexts, and how it integrates with different repositories to provide a rich and ready-made discovery application
Blurring the boundaries between an institutional repository and a research information registry: where's the join?
Get PDFKey motivations for provision of an institutional repository (IR) for research outputs within a higher education institution (HEI) are storage, retention, dissemination and preservation of digital research materials. Increasingly IRs are being considered as tools for research management as part of pan-institutional systems. This might include statutory reporting such as that required for the forthcoming UK REF (Research Excellence Framework). Such functionality generally requires integration with other management systems within the HEI. It is common to find that each research management system has been selected to serve a specific need within an organisational department, any broader aim being out of scope. As a result, data is held in many silos, is duplicated and can even be "locked in" to those systems. This results in problems with data sharing, as well as lacks of efficiency and consistency. Some institutions are addressing this problem by considering CRISs (Current Research Information Systems) or business intelligence systems. The need for easy deposit in the institutional repository at the University of Oxford has prompted the development of a registry and tools to support research information management. Many of the motivations behind the repository are common with those for research information management. Not only do the two areas of focus have many common aims, but there is considerable overlap of design, data, services, and stakeholder requirements. This overlap means that the boundaries between the repository and the resulting tools being implemented for publicly available research activity data are blurred. By considering these two areas together with other related digital repository services, new opportunities and efficiencies can be revealed to the benefit of all stakeholders
Content Model Driven Software
Get PDFDigital collections often have very different properties. Fedora Commons is flexible enough to contain collections with varying structures, file formats and metadata formats. However, that flexibility makes it difficult to work with the data, since very little is known about the data's properties. We present a way to use machine-readable, detailed content models, called Enhanced Content Models, that allows software to adapt automatically to specific collections
Developing publishing process support system with Fedora and Orbeon Forms - A case study
Get PDFIn University of Oulu, almost ready dissertation theses are processed to follow local ACTA templates and conventions. This process can take many iterations between dissertants, series editors and the print. Also, a lot of data about the publication and creators should be gathered in order to create cover pages, abstracts, and other informational pieces related to the publication. Since this kind of process is hard to manage via e-mail, some kind of supporting software for this publication process is necessary. This article (and presentation) describes a work-in-progress case study of this publishing process support system development
DSpace Under the Hood: How DSpace works
Get PDFWhilst you don't need to be a mechanic to drive a car, it is helpful if you have a basic understanding of how a car works, what bits do different jobs, and how to top up your oil and pump up your tyres / tires. This presentation will give an overview of the DSpace architecture, and will give you enough knowledge to understand how DSpace works. By knowing this, you will also learn about ways DSpace could be used, and ways in which it can't be used
Reinventing Teaching and Learning Repositories
Get PDFThrough the Faroes and OneShare projects the EdShare team have developed an innovative approach to teaching and learning repositories, learning from the best practices of Web 2.0 and re-imagining these repositories from the ground up as living sites, whether for a community or an institution. Many existing teaching and learning repositories base themselves closely on the research repository model, but research repositories are about Archiving, and ordinary practitioners rarely want to archive their teaching materials
