Innovation Nation-DIUS will maintain the growing investmentin UK science and will broaden knowledgeexchange between the research base andbusinesses into the arts and humanities andservice sectors such as the creative industries.
This is where i go back to Thomas Edison and the need for a space for pragmatic innovation / ‘tinkering’
Requirements:This is the nexus between local developers and the user communities.This is where requirements are surfaced. And where that work is seen and rewarded. Or could / should be.Examples include: - research teams in the laboratory - university press - library / repository - digital collections and archives
This is infrastructure.It assumes 100% outsourcing / SaaS, which may not be right – there may be local infrastructure, and indeed there may be opportunities for local units such as the library to offer infrastructure services (eg hosting OJS) to local users.But the point is that this is where cost savings and efficiencies happen, are surfaced, documented and are rewarded.So this could be Duracloud for example.
This is pragmatic innovation – this is where the infrastructure meets the users - where innovation is done by developers close to the users and close to the infrastructure - making the infrastructure fit local requirements, thereby revising both perhaps – continually refreshing and revising the use cases - and ideally recognising and rewarding this work, but i want to question the extent to which this happensThis is the glue that makes the thing work. In this diagram it is the “developer” (broadly defined) community.DevCSI in the UKSITS internationallyPlatform user groups (learning a lot about how to foster and encourage these communities, eg Fedora / Duraspace community, Lessons from OSS-Watch, open source software communities such as Apache and Mozilla) – directed communities, which can be oriented to the right (infrastructure) side of the diagram.EtcBut – and building out from Paul’s model here – it is also legal, organisational, cultural practitioners, not JUST developers.Curation professionals, data managers...Some have argued that these people are increasingly disillusioned with the limitations of their role, given the transformative potential of the technologies we have available and the engrained path dependencies that they have stacked up around themHence UKCoRR (from RSP and Sherpa), DLF looking at this needWe are also aware of a need to equip repository managers with the skills and power to discover and articulate user requirements (eg on usability, where repositories have perhaps been poor) to the providers of those platforms.COAR perhaps, in time.We must see these as key strategic elements in the global repositories networkwhose role is to share good practice, enable its takeup, recognise and reward that takeup.So we are also looking at university career and reward structures. (NB there are a number of emerging roles where universities and HE more widely needs to consider organisational and role structures – repository manager, data manager, software developer and hybrids of these.)This zone also provides many of the ‘gateways’ through which socio-technical networks join together, evolving in time into infrastructureOpen Repositories conference is a great example. OAI@Geneva has traditionally had three strands for tech, researcher and info professionalWe need to (and increasingly are) building events like this to be better at this.And it’s not just events.We need to enable and encourage information professionals, developers, and hybrids to build their CoPs.Because, as I hope i’ve argued, a global repositories network that supports open knowledge - that is linked, open, trusted, dataIs not a ‘thing’, it is better to think of it as practice, as a way of doing things.So in planning the future, it is more helpful to think...

Information Environment Programme 2009-2011
Neil Jacobs
Orientation
Context, HE today and how things have changed since 2009...
Overall Aims and objectives back in 2009
Strands and changes anticipated – they’re still important...
Today’s aims and sessions
HE in 2009
Original aims of the “inf11” programme
HE staff that have benefited from the programme will be more skilled and more knowledgeable than they were before.
New tools, frameworks, models, standards and techniques will have been developed
Advances will have been made in understanding how to work within legal constraints to the best advantage of the HE sector
The sharing of digital content, data, processes and frameworks will have become a more dominant ethos within the HE sector.
Roles and responsibilities will have been clarified in a number of areas
Greater understanding of possible future directions for further development and implementation of the e-Infrastructure for educational resources.

Today’s aim and sessions
This event is a chance for programme participants and others to reflect on major lessons and how these can be applied to challenging institutional issues such as
how to reduce or avoid costs in managing digital assets
how local innovators can benefit the institution
how institutions can realise the value of an 'open' approach.
Closing keynote: Margaret Coutts
Morning session: learning from each other... Case studies from Southampton, Glasgow and Bristol, followed by discussion.
