University of Colorado Boulder - Machine Actionable Plans (MAP) Pilot Project Report
Get PDFThis report details the activities, lessons learned, and recommendations from the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) pilot project as part of the Machine Actionable Plans (MAP) Pilot led by the California Digital Library (CDL) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to enhance infrastructure and services around machine actionable Data Management and Sharing Plans (maDMSPs). CU Boulder was one of five main pilot sites competitively selected to participate in this project, and the project team represented a cross-campus collaborative group led by the Center for Research Data & Digital Scholarship (CRDDS) with representation from Libraries, Research Computing, the Research & Innovation Office (RIO), the Faculty Information System (FIS), and the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP).
Based on the pilot project activities, this report makes the following recommendations in order to leverage maDMSPs to enhance the value of the research data produced by CU Boulder researchers:
● Enhance collaboration across campus with regard to public access to research data and DMSPs.
● Ensure research data is integrated into a holistic strategy for research information management across campus.
● Develop a coordinated strategy and approach for persistent identifiers (PIDs) at the campus level.</p

An Exploration of Design-Build Risk and Project Profitability in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Sector
Get PDFDesign-Build (DB) project delivery has been studied extensively for the last 30 years. Researchers and project sponsors have focused on comparing DB project performance to other project delivery methods (PDMs) and determining how a range of critical success factors (CSFs) relate to key performance indicators (KPIs) such as project quality, cost, schedule, claim and dispute. Little empirical research, however, has explored DB impacts on the internal DB team. And no DB research has explored the effects of CSFs on an insufficiently investigated KPI: project profitability—a crucially relevant project outcome and a beacon of health for the larger Engineering and Construction (E&C) industry. This dissertation focuses on the overarching research question of how selected CSFs, such as DB risk management and DB teaming practices, relate to project profitability. Additionally, while past E&C research have largely emphasized owner or contractor data-furnished CSFs and KPIs, this study emphasized Architectural and Engineering (A/E) firms. A/E firms have particularly been exposed to heightened standards of care, contract liability gaps, and increasing insurance requirements stemming from DB participation. These externally transferred risks, and how DB teams internally organize to counter the related project dynamics, have been studied less systematically in the project delivery research literature. This research then sought out to examine DB project performance through different lenses by ascertaining how novel metrics can contribute to predicting this crucial project outcome and potentially other KPIs. Two distinct and methodically developed industry questionnaires collected diverse DB data across the U.S. marketplace, encompassing key firm and project characteristics, framing qualitative risk transfer practices and team interaction factors, and measuring DB participation and internal project performance through profitability. This overarching DB exploration was conducted through three interconnected studies. The first identified the latest DB market trends and mapped the salient DB challenges from a firm-based inquiry perspective. It critically detected indicative patterns to be explored more in-depth through a project-based inquiry in the subsequent two studies. Building on the first set of findings, the second study assessed how pricing DB risk transfer, inequitable contract flow-downs, and limitations of liability, correlate with project profitability in the DB industry. Acknowledging the important role that team characteristics and team interactions have on KPIs in the larger E&C industry, the third study examined how DB strategic alliances and trusted partnerships within the internal DB team, past relationships with the owner, and owner’s intervening practices in the project, relate to DB project profitability. While each study investigated distinct aspects of relatively unknown internal DB dynamics, together they advance a theoretical and practical understanding of the effects of DB participation on project outcomes other than cost and schedule. The emerging knowledge is expected to (1) serve as basis to refine future investigations in ascertaining the association of novel significant variables with expanded KPIs, whether in DB or across other PDMs; (2) raise awareness to DB contracting parties about the effects of unbalanced and inappropriately transferred risks; (3) deepen investigations on specific and efficacious DB teaming practices; (4) improve DB project performance and satisfaction across the industry through the open inclusion of diverse perspectives; (5) cultivate an interest in scrutinizing project profitability and the predominant factors associated with its outcome; and (6) ultimately implement DB effectively to the benefit of all DB team members in the growing DB marketplace.</p
Deep Words and a True Brush: Asaka Tanpaku and the Early Mito Community of Textual Practice
Get PDFEarly modern Japan was home to a panoply of regional traditions of learning and literature. Among these, the group of scholars and literati from Mito Domain achieved particular renown, giving rise to the appellation "Mitogaku," or “the Mito school,” still widely used within Japanese and Anglophone academia. However, on closer inspection, the Mito literatus group appears to defy such terminology. Unlike some other schools of thought and traditions of learning, it cannot boast a singular philosophical persuasion, a coherent doctrine, or an intellectual “founding father.” This dissertation develops a new conceptual framework that eschews the concept of school, rethinking the early Mito literatus group (ca. 1650–1750) as a community of textual practice. Gleaning insights from Etienne Wenger’s social theory of learning, it hones in on textual production by Mito scholar-retainers as a form of practice and produces an account of the community’s early history. The dissertation is anchored in a collection of primary texts authored by Asaka Tanpaku (1656–1738), a Mito scholar-retainer who played a major role in the community’s formation, maturation, and day-to-day functioning. The dissertation demonstrates that the concept of school is of little use when studying the Mito literatus group and investigates its origins and institutional underpinnings as a community of textual practice. It proceeds to discuss the emergence of such practice in Mito and its connection to the multifaceted Sinitic notion of wen. After adumbrating the economy of textual practice in the domain, the dissertation concludes with an exploration of the dynamics of communal engagement and trajectories of participation in the Mito literatus group. To the field of Japanese studies, this dissertation contributes a new conceptual framework that transcends the disciplinary boundaries of literary studies, philology, and intellectual history. It is also a biography of Asaka Tanpaku, a major figure in early modern Japanese history whose life and works have not received sustained scholarly attention in any language to date.</p
