Collaborate, Automate, Prepare, Prioritize: Creating Metadata for Legacy Rese...Jennifer Liss
Data curation projects frequently deal with data that were not created for the purposes of long- term preservation and re-use. How can curation of such legacy data be improved by supplying necessary metadata? In this report, we address this and other questions by creating robust metadata for twenty legacy research datasets. We report on the metrics of creating domain- specific metadata and propose a four-prong framework of metadata creation for legacy research data. Our findings indicate that there is a steep learning curve in encoding metadata using the FGDC content standard for digital geospatial metadata. Our project demonstrates that when data curators are handed research data “as is,” they may be successful in incorporating such data into a data sharing environment. We found that data curators can be successful in creating descriptive metadata and enhancing discoverability via subject analysis. However, curators must be aware of the limitations in applying structural and administrative metadata for legacy data.

Factors that affect sharing and accessing data include size, computing needs, standards, repositories, data nature, governance, and metadata.
Data Innovation Spaces are identified by BDVA as a key instrument to foster the Data-Driven Innovation in Europe. They provide innovation and experimentation environments where companies in their respective ecosystems could have their data-driven and AI-related products and solutions piloted, tested, and exploited before going to the market. BDVA launches every year a process to identify and recognize relevant initiatives in Europe that meet specific quality criteria in infrastructures, services, projects, and sectors of application, ecosystem and sustainability (BDVA i-Spaces call for labels).
During this session, we will present the concept of BDVA i-Spaces (as it is reflected in the BDVA SRIA), the process and steps of i-Spaces labeling, the value proposition of being an i-Space and activities and examples of collaboration. The session will also include examples of first-hand experience from three recognized i-Spaces: ITAINNOVA (DIH Aragon), UPM, and Demokritos NCSR (aheed DIH).
This document summarizes a webinar about BDVA i-Spaces, which are data innovation spaces that foster data-driven innovation. The webinar discussed what i-Spaces are, their value in collaborating and connecting to other initiatives, and the process for obtaining an i-Space label. Experiences from several labelled i-Spaces were also shared. The goal of i-Spaces is to establish a network across Europe for testing, piloting and exploiting big data technologies and applications through technical and business support services. Obtaining the i-Space label recognizes quality and impacts spaces that connect existing initiatives and promote data-driven innovation.

Turning FAIR into Reality: Briefing on the EC’s report on FAIR datadri_ireland
DRI Director Natalie Harrower, a member of the European Commission's Expert Group on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) data, delivered a lunchtime briefing on the recently published 'Turning FAIR into Reality' report on Tuesday 26 February in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin.
In 2016 the FAIR Data Principles were developed to support the position that effective research data management is ‘not a goal in itself but rather is the key conduit leading to knowledge discovery and innovation’. The new publication is both a report and an action plan for turning FAIR into reality. It offers a survey and analysis of what is needed to implement FAIR and it provides a set of concrete recommendations and actions for stakeholders in Europe and beyond.
The briefing provided an overview of the contents of the report, which include the principles of FAIR, as well as the elements required to implement FAIR data.
The Reasons Why the Science Gateways Community Needs an InstituteSandra Gesing
The science gateways community is by nature an interdisciplinary community with quite a few different roles: from researchers and educators to creators and providers of science gateways serving research areas in the sciences, humanities and arts. While 80-90% participants at the European IWSG (International Workshop on Science Gateways) and the US Gateways Conference series are predominantly from computer science and engineering, the number of users belonging to the science gateway community is much bigger in research domains beyond these “usual suspects”. Additionally, open science and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) initiatives as well as research involving machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) methods have a lot of momentum in the research community in the last seven to eight years and demand solutions that are tailored to the
different communities and allow researchers to focus on their research questions. Science gateways are predestined to serve as a solution with their design for supporting the sharing of simulations, data and workflows while applying research infrastructures including sensors and lab instruments. The open science, FAIR and AI communities grow fast, evident in initiatives such as GO FAIR in Europe and the US, publications on FAIR and AI and the amount of presentations at conferences such as RDA (Research Data Alliance) while the science gateways community seems to be not participating in this fast growth. There are some grassroot efforts that address science gateways and FAIR, for example, but the uptake is not comparable. The talk goes into detail why an institute is necessary to improve the outreach to the community at large to accelerate research and reach researchers and educators who are not aware of science gateways yet.
This document summarizes an update from the Entomological Collections Network meeting in 2012. It discusses the iDigBio initiative to facilitate the digitization of biodiversity collections data through developing standards, providing portal access to data, and planning for long-term sustainability.

The IMLS-funded project Linked Data for Professional Education (LD4PE) has created a "Competency Index for Linked Data".
The Index provides a concise and readable map of concepts and skills related to the practices and technologies of Linked Data for the benefit of interested learners and their teachers.
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) has developed a Catalogue of Metadata standards and tools aimed at researchers and those who support them. In its new version, the Metadata Standards Catalog will provide much greater detail about metadata standards and tools, and through its new API - it will be usable within other applications. It will also provide a platform for furthering the work of the RDA Metadata Interest Group, which is seeking to improve the interoperability of metadata in different standards by working towards semi-automatically generated converters.
The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) calls for the contribution of non confidential information about the Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) to the Global Information System (GLIS) to facilitate access to such information by any party interested. The foundation of GLIS is the accurate identification of the PGRFA to which the information is associated. After extensive research and consultation, DOIs have been selected as the Permanent Unique Identifier of choice for GLIS.
The webinar describes the challenges that the GLIS team of the ITPGRFA has faced as well as the benefits that the GLIS user community will receive by the adoption of DOIs.
Initially developed by FAO of the UN in the context of the NeOn project as a collaborative environment for the development of the AGROVOC thesaurus, later generalized to a SKOS-XLdevelopment platform in the context of a collaboration with the University of Rome Tor Vergata, VocBench is now reaching its third incarnation.
VocBench 3 (or simply, VB3), is the new version of VocBench, funded by the European Commission ISA² programme, and with development managed by the Publications Office of the EU, under contract 10632 (Infeurope S.A.).
VB3 will offer a powerful editing environment, with facilities for collaborative management of OWL ontologies and SKOS/SKOS-XL thesauri. VB3 will surpass its predecessor with native support for OWL, SKOS and SKOS-XL, completely rewritten components for better User Interface, User Management, History Tracking and Validation&Publication Workflow.
This webinar discusses permanent unique identifiers (PUIDs), specifically digital object identifiers (DOIs). It explains that PUIDs are needed for accurate identification, findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reproducibility of research objects. A PUID is a unique text string that permanently identifies a single research object. DOIs are a type of PUID that follow an international standard and have over 145 million objects registered in a global system. The webinar provides details on how to obtain and use DOIs through registration agencies to identify publications, data, and other research outputs.
The FAIR principles have been introduced as a guideline for good scientific data stewardship. They have gained momentum at a management level and are now for example part of the project template for EU Horizon 2020 projects. This raises the question what research groups and projects can do to implement them. Hugo Besemer will introduce the ideas behind the FAIR principles.

This webinar covers three emerging themes in life science publishing, which will begin to influence the way in which the agricultural researchers share and access knowledge:
Faster dissemination: Publishing scientific articles is often a lengthy process, taking several months or even years from first submission. This prevents the research community and others from being able to act on new knowledge quickly, which is especially serious in emergency situations such as emerging infectious diseases. This webinar will cover two ways of tackling publication delays: preprint servers and post-publication peer review platforms.
Increased access & transparency: Open Access has helped remove access barriers to a vast body of scientific knowledge. Other important research outputs that have historically been difficult to access are starting to be published more frequently such as replications, data, code and referee reports.
Assessment of research: Researches are assessed by their publication record. Journal title and Impact Factor tend to be the default assessment criteria, though there is growing awareness of the disadvantages of these approaches, and alternative measures of quality and impact are gaining ground.
About Thomas Ingraham:
Tom is the Publishing Editor at F1000Research and has been involved with the publisher’s open science and editorial development since its inception in 2012. He manages several channels published on F1000Research, including those focussing on agriculture, and is the lead on several of the publisher’s open data-orientated projects.
Open access has been a positive force in scientific publishing. But the removal of paywalls and restrictive licencing are not the only issues that need to be tackled; unnecessary delays to publication, irreproducible findings, publication biases, and poor access to underlying data and code also need to be addressed. This is especially important in agriculture and nutrition research where quick, unrestricted access to knowledge is crucial to solving urgent issues including food security, biodiversity conservation, and emerging infectious diseases in crops and animals.
This webinar will cover how the novel approaches taken by the publication venue Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD) and the publishing platform it is hosted on, F1000Research, are addressing these issues. OKAD publishes academic articles, posters and slide presentations involving open knowledge projects within all areas of agriculture, nutrition and agro-biodiversity. By using F1000Research’s post-publication peer review platform, OKAD ensures rapid access to research within days of submission. Experts are invited to peer review upon publication, and their signed peer review reports are published alongside the article. All articles and any associated data and code are made publically available.
AGRIS is the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology. It is supported by a large community of data providers, partners and users. AGRIS is a database that aggregates bibliographic data, and through this core data, related content across online information systems is retrieved by taking advantage of Semantic Web capabilities.
This webinar will present AGRIS international initiative and partnership in the usage of AGRIS bibliographic data as a gateway to enable researchers and policy makers to retrieve agricultural and scientific information. The end-user based webinar will explain the basic fundamentals of AGRIS, overview the AGRIS interface, and how users can initiate their searches using both the simple and advanced search functionalities.

De plus, il présentera brièvement la formation gratuite disponible sur les sites web sur les compétences des auteurs, les outils de gestion de référence mais aussi fournira des exemples de comment Research4Life fait la différence pour de nombreux établissements de recherche aujourd’hui.
With more and more thesauri, classifications and other knowledge organization systems being published as Linked Data using SKOS, the question arises how best to make them available on the web. While just publishing the Linked Data triples is possible using a number of RDF publishing tools, those tools are not very well suited for SKOS data, because they cannot support term-based searching and lookup.
This webinar presents Skosmos, an open source web-based SKOS vocabulary browser that uses a SPARQL endpoint as its backend. It can be used by e.g. libraries and archives as a publishing platform for controlled vocabularies such as thesauri, lightweight ontologies, classifications and authority files. The Finnish national thesaurus and ontology service Finto, operated by the National Library of Finland, is built using Skosmos.
Skosmos provides a multilingual user interface for browsing and searching the data and for visualizing concept hierarchies. The user interface has been developed by analyzing the results of repeated usability tests. All of the SKOS data is made available as Linked Data. A developer-friendly REST API is also available providing access for using vocabularies in other applications such as annotation systems.
We will describe what kind of infrastructure is necessary for Skosmos and how to set it up for your own SKOS data. We will also present examples where Skosmos is being used around the world.
