This presentation looks at the current situation with respect to RSS and then reports upon the findings of the ticTOCs and Gold Dust projects. We will look at the lessons learnt from developing the ticTOCs service, and also report on two iterations of the Gold Dust development and use cycles. We will deliver an appraisal of the effectiveness of the raft of techniques being employed by Gold Dust. How effective are current data mining and pattern matching techniques for such an application?
How useful is RSS metadata in this context? These findings will be of considerable pertinence both for future services which may use RSS Feeds, and for future research and development in the area of adaptive personalisation using RSS.
Data Publishing at Harvard's Research Data Access SymposiumMerce Crosas
Data Publishing: The research community needs reliable, standard ways to make the data produced by scientific research available to the community, while giving credit to data authors. As a result, a new form of scholarly publication is emerging: data publishing. Data publishing - or making data reusable, citable, and accessible for long periods - is more than simply providing a link to a data file or posting the data to the researcher’s web site. We will discuss best practices, including the use of persistent identifiers and full data citations, the importance of metadata, the choice between public data and restricted data with terms of use, the workflows for collaboration and review before data release, and the role of trusted archival repositories. The Harvard Dataverse repository (and the Dataverse open-source software) provides a solution for data publishing, making it easy for researchers to follow these best practices, while satisfying data management requirements and incentivizing the sharing of research data.
A presentation given at #FACCS2010 in Raleigh, North Carolina
ChemSpider is an online database of almost 25 million chemical compounds sourced from over 300 different sources including government laboratories, chemical vendors, public resources and publications. Developed with the intention of building community for chemists ChemSpider allows its users to deposit data including structures, properties, links to external resources and various forms of spectral data. Over the past three years ChemSpider has aggregated almost 3000 spectra including Infrared and Raman Data and continues to expand as the community deposits additional data. The majority of spectral data is licensed as Open Data allowing it to be downloaded and reused in presentations, lesson plans and for teaching purposes. This presentation will provide an overview of our efforts to build a structure-indexed online database of spectral data, initiate a call to action to the community to participate in improving this resource for the community at large and discuss how such a resource could be used as the basis of a spectral game to teach students spectral interpretation.
Online chemistry resources have expanded dramatically in the past few years with resources such as PubChem, ChEBI, Wikipedia, ChemSpider and many others offering rich resources to scientists seeking data and information. ChemSpider has become one of the primary chemistry portals delivering a heterogeneous mix of Open and Closed data. ChemSpider offers a structure-centric community for collaboration enabling the crowd-sourced deposition and validation of online chemistry data. ChemSpider has also been integrated into the ChemMantis system – CHEMistry Markup And Nomenclature Transformation Integrated System. This platform facilitates entity extraction of science related terms using both heuristics and highly curated dictionaries. The resulting documents are marked up to allow viewing of chemical structures linked out to over 200 different data sources via the ChemSpider database.

ICIC 2014 Finding Answers in the Data – The Future Role of Text and Data Mini...Dr. Haxel Consult
Vast amounts of new information and data are generated every day through scientific research. More and more of this data is stored in rapidly growing, but siloed databases, creating “Big Data” challenges. New technologies such as text and data mining make it possible to efficiently search and improve knowledge by applying analytics across these data sources. Research-intensive companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry are exploring the use of text and data mining (TDM) techniques to glean new insights from patents, clinical data, scientific literature, and other data sources. These insights are seen as critical to accelerating the process of drug and product discovery. As these researchers leverage TDM techniques, obtaining easy, centralized access to TDM-ready full-text content from multiple publishers becomes more and more important. What will be the future role of TDM in 2014 and beyond? What are the major TDM trends and what solutions are companies looking for to accelerate their R&D; efforts? Based on the experience gathered in a text and data mining pilot program successfully run by RightsDirect’s parent company Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) in 2013, RightsDirect’s General Manager Kim Zwollo will give an overview of current market needs, options and trends in Text and Data Mining. Using CCC’s TDM solution as an example, the presentation outlines critical success factors in technology and business models that need to be part of a comprehensive approach to text and data mining.

Role of Data Accessibility During PandemicDatabricks
This talk focuses on the importance of data access and how crucial it is, to have the granular level of data availability in the open-source space as it helps researchers and data teams to fuel their work.
We present to you the research conducted by the DS4C (Data Science for Covid-19) team who made a huge and detailed level of South Korea Covid-19 data available to a wider community. The DS4C dataset was one of the most impactful datasets on Kaggle with over fifty thousand cumulative downloads and 300 unique contributors. What makes the DS4C dataset so potent is the sheer amount of data collected for each patient. The Korean government has been collecting and releasing patient information with unprecedented levels of detail. The data released includes infected people’s travel routes, the public transport they took, and the medical institutions that are treating them. This extremely fine-grained detail is what makes the DS4C dataset valuable as it makes it easier for researchers and data scientists to identify trends and more evidence to support hypotheses to track down the cause and gain additional insights. We will cover the data challenges, impact that it had on the community by making this data available on a public forum and conclude it with an insightful visual representation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
