Digging Archaeology Data: Image Search and Markup (DADAISM)
No full textThe DADAISM project brought together researchers from the diverse fields of archaeology, human computer interaction, image processing, image search and retrieval, and text mining to create a rich interactive system to address the problems of researchers finding images relevant to their research. In the age of digital photography, thousands of images are taken of archaeological artefacts. These images could help archaeologists enormously in their tasks of classification and identification if they could be related to one another effectively. However, these images are currently greatly underutilised for two key reasons. Firstly, the current paradigm for interaction with image collections is basic keyword search or, at best, simple faceted search, thus it is difficult to translate the artefact seen by the researcher into the system. Secondly, even if these interactions are possible, the metadata related to the majority of images of archaeological artefacts is scarce in information relating to the content of the image and the nature of the artefact, and is time intensive to enter manually
Digging into Linked Parliamentary Data (DiLiPaD)
No full textThe goals of the DiLiPaD project were to 1) enhance the existing corpora of parliamentary data from the UK (1803 to the present) and Canada (1867 to the present) to the same standards as the comparable Netherlands corpus covering 1814 to the present; 2) develop new tools for the study of this data; 3) explore research questions, both in conjunction with and following on from the enhancement of the data and the provision of these tools. Specifically the project team investigated gender and politics, focusing on the role of women in parliamentary debate, the framing of same-sex marriage and the measuring of emotion in parliamentary debates

The Impacts of Digital Collections: Early English Books Online & House of Commons Parliamentary Papers
No full textA report commissioned by Jisc in partnership with ProQuest on the impact of two resources that were purchased by Jisc, Early English Books Online (EEBO) and House of Commons Parliamentary Papers (HCPP). The study uses qualitative and quantitative approaches to measuring the impact of these collections both on research and teaching and learning and concludes by arguing that digital collections have become fundamental to modern scholarship

KE & Science Europe briefing paper: Funding Research Data Management and related infrastructures
No full textResponsible Research Data Management (RDM) is a pillar of quality research. In practice good RDM requires the support of a well-functioning Research Data Infrastructure (RDI). One of the challenges the research community is facing is how to fund the management of research data and the required infrastructure.
Knowledge Exchange and Science Europe have both defined activities to explore how RDM/RDI are, or can be, funded. Independently they each planned to survey users and providers of data services and on becoming aware of the similar objectives and approaches, the Science Europe Working Group on Research Data and the Knowledge Exchange Research Data expert group joined forces and devised a joint activity to to inform the discussion on the funding of RDM/RDI in Europe
