Open Data Registration Tool
No full text<p>The SWITCH-ON Open Data Registration tool (ODR Tool) is a user friendly web tool supporting the basic profile of the SWITCH-ON Meta Data Model (D2.6). In a wizard-like setup, an end-user can describe the dataset with a limited number of compulsory meta-data fields and a DOI (digital object identifier) can be obtained from zenodo.org. As an optional step a dataset can be selected for upload. In this way, both newly produced datasets (e.g. by a researcher) or an existing dataset (available on the internet and findable by a URL) can be properly registered with the required amount of meta-data.</p>
SUDPLAN Scenario Management System - Product Implementation Companion Report V2
No full textThis document has been produced by the consortium of the European Project FP7-247708 Sustainable Urban Development Planner for Climate Change Adaptation (SUDPLAN). It is the companion report to the second deliverable of T3.3 Product Implementation which represents the software developed on the basis of the results of T3.2 Product Prototyping and T3.1 Requirements Specification. It is an update of the first report (D3.2.1) and provides an overview of the distinct building blocks of the SUDPLAN platform and briefly explains their architecture and reports on the developments performed during the second product implementation phase.
This document is a brief report to accompany the software developed in WP3 (Scenario Management System) in the second year of the SUDPLAN project bundled into D3.2.2 Product Implementation V2. The software described here constitutes the components that make up one of the core results of SUDPLAN - the Scenario Management System. In contrast to D3.3.2 Scenario Management System V2 the developed software components are not presented as an integrated solution but rather as individual building blocks. The results of D3.2.2 combined with the results of D3.3.2 are the basis for the second validation cycle performed by the pilot applications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
CLARITY D7.8 Data Management Plan
No full textThis report is the first deliverable of Task 7.3 “Data Management” and describes the initial Data Management Plan (DMP) for the CLARITY project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme under Grant Agreement number 730355. The purpose of the DMP is to provide an overview of all datasets collected and generated by the project and to define the CLARITY consortium’s data management policy that is used with regard to these datasets.
The CLARITY DMP follows the structure of the Horizon 2020 DMP template. It reflects the status of the data that is collected, processed or generated and following what methodology and standards, whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, and how it will be curated and preserved. This initial version of the DMP defines the general policy and approach to data management in CLARITY that handles data management related issues on the administrative and technical level. This includes for example topics like data and meta-data collection, publication and deposition of open data, the data repository infrastructure and compliance to the Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe (OpenAIRE).
It furthermore summarises the intermediate results of the data collection activities in Task 2.2 “Demonstrator-specific data collection” that are being carried out according to the data collection concept introduced in Task 2.2 “Data requirements definition, data collection concept, demonstration and result validation concept” and the guidelines on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data management. The DMP will evolve during the lifespan of the project. Next versions will refine and enhance policy aspects and will go into more detail regarding the datasets collected and produced by the CLARITY project
CLARITY D4.2 CLARITY CSIS Architecture
No full textThis report is the second deliverable of WP4 “Technology Support” of the CLARITY project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme under Grant Agreement number 730355. WP4 intends to provide the technological backbone of the CLARITY Climate Service Information System (CSIS) by tailoring the technological background foreseen in the CLARITY work package descriptions to project needs. For this, WP4 will integrate and adapt all required and existing (background) tools and services that are necessary for realisation of the CLARITY reference scenarios (Demonstration Cases) and implementation of the EU-GL into the CLARITY Climate Services.
The main aim of this deliverable is to describe the CSIS Architecture in such a concise and simple manner so that its goals and major concepts can be understood by all stakeholders (including the end users) involved in the co-creation process. It does this by communicating the most significant design decisions that shape CSIS and equips the agile development teams with "just enough" conceptual and technical knowledge to successfully implement the presented Conceptual Innovation Design.
Unlike as initially foreseen in the DoA, the CSIS Architecture follows an agile and emergent approach that aims to quickly respond to unavoidable changes imposed by the agile co-creation approach of WP1 "Co-Creation". Moreover, technology moves fast and many of the software components and technologies mentioned in the DoA are outdated or do not suit the emergent use cases and requirements introduced during the first year of the project. The impact to project plans with respect to tasks, deliverables, resources requested etc., however, are minimal and do not collide with general project objectives
SUDPLAN Scenario Management System Requirements Specification V2
No full textThis document has been produced by the consortium of the European Project FP7-247708 Sustainable Urban Development Planner for Climate Change Adaptation (SUDPLAN). It is the second deliverable of Task 3.1 - Requirements Specification, and contains the updated requirements of the second requirements analysis phase and is considered to be the final and stable version of the SUDPLAN requirements.
The purpose of this document is to establish the requirements of the Scenario Management System of SUDPLAN, sometimes referred to herein as the SUDPLAN platform.
In order to understand the high level requirements of SUDPLAN, one must first understand SUDPLAN as a fundamentally interactive system. The entire purpose of the system is to support human decision makers. While this point might seem obvious and not worth mentioning, it is important to understand that many (if not most) decision support systems fail because they fail to focus on the humans who are part of the system.
In SUDPLAN we are determined not to make this mistake. We have focused on the human users of the system as the most important source of information – a perspective described in the literature as user-centred design. The requirements described in the present document derive in great part from a thoughtful and systematic process by which the needs of the users were elicited and transformed into requirements. While some requirements come from other sources, none are more important than those of the users, who are understood to be integral elements of the system. For the system to succeed, the users must succeed. For this reason, SUDPLAN is a user-driven system, and its requirements, as elaborated in the present document, are intimately connected with the anticipated users of its applications
SUDPLAN Integrated Scenario Management System V3 - Companion Report
No full textThis document has been produced by the consortium of the European Project FP7-247708 Sustainable Urban Development Planner for Climate Change Adaptation (SUDPLAN). It is the companion report to the third deliverable of T3.4 Integration, Testing and Software Validation which represents the third software release of the integrated Scenario Management System that is composed of the distinct software components developed in T3.3 - Product Implementation. The software described in this report which is the actual deliverable D3.3.3 is the basis of the current pilot implementation work.
This document is a brief report to accompany the software developed in WP3 (Scenario Management System) of the SUDPLAN project bundled into D3.3.3 Integrated Scenario Management System V3. In contrast to the companion report to the deliverable D3.2.3- Product Implementation V3, which gives an overview of the distinct building blocks, explains their architecture and reports on the developments performed during the three product implementation phases, this report intends to present the Scenario Management System as integrated solution and to report on the integration, testing and validation activities performed during the second product integration phase
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
