Enhanced Publications 2007 Driver Project
“An enhanced publication is a publication that is enriched with three categories of information:
• research data (evidence of the research)
• extra materials (to illustrate or clarify)
• post-publication data (commentaries, ranking)” (Driver project)
•Belangrijke bijdrage Nederlandse IR’s
•Ontwikkelingen van “modellen”
•Blijft actueel: Recente publicaties in Liber Quarterly Bardi, A & P. Manghi*
•Focus op “publications”

5. Terminologie
• Voorbeelden uit praktijk werkgroepsleden
• Grote variëteit
• Besluit tot naamswijziging
“Digitale objecten in digitale context”
Twee types
• Context toegevoegd door bewaarinstelling(type A)
• Context toegevoegd door “auteur” (type B)
6Barbara Sierman: NCDD-dag Rotterdam 17-09-2015
7. Proefschriften
Praktisch voorbeeld: proefschriften (ong. 3500 per jaar)
Proefschrift reglementen:
• Deponeer elektronische versie in Institutional Repository
• Geen voorschrift om gerelateerde data te vermelden
• Geen regels voor persistent identifiers, metadata etc.
• Geen aanwijzingen waar bijbehorende datasets te deponeren
3 Bewaarinstellingen voor duurzame toegang:
KB voor de publicatie
DANS & 3TU voor de datasets
8Barbara Sierman: NCDD-dag Rotterdam 17-09-2015
10. Het is ingewikkelder…
(ten minste) Twee extra partners betrokken:
-Nationaal Archief
-Datasets die niet door DANS of 3TU bewaard worden
- Beeld en Geluid
11Barbara Sierman: NCDD-dag Rotterdam 17-09-2015
11. Aanbevelingen
Universiteiten
• Update het proefschriftreglement (PIDs, datasets, metadata)
• Faciliteer studenten/medewerkers in het maken van relaties
• Update NARCIS met verwijzingen naar datasets
• Denk in een keten van bewaarinstellingen
12Barbara Sierman: NCDD-dag Rotterdam 17-09-2015
12. Aanbevelingen
Bewaarinstellingen
• Wees alert op de context bij je objecten (metadata)
• Werk samen aan het bewaren van het geheel
(preservation policies)
• Maak duidelijk wie wat bewaart
13Barbara Sierman: NCDD-dag Rotterdam 17-09-2015
15. Maar er is meer …
• E-books met websites
• Artikelen met links
• Artikelen met datasets
• Links met databases
• Varianten in type B (context door bewaarinstelling aangebracht)

Type A context door auteur
The workpackage on Enhanced Publicationjs started in 2014 with a group of 5 stakeholders: the national Library, the national archive, the institute of sound and vision, DANS and 3TU. Several of the partipants were earlier involved in projects related to Enhanced Publications. We were aware of the theory around enhanced publications, but the goal was to investigate whether there was a gap between theory and practice and if existing, how to improve this situation.
In the Netherlands Enhanced Publications are well known since a few organisations (University of Amsterdam, leiden and Delft and the National Library) participated in the Driver project (Linking Publications and Research Data in Digital Repositories. S. Woutersen-Windhouwer et al. Amsterdam University Press, 2009
) and published their findings. SURF, the collaborative ICT organisation for Dutch higher education and research initiated a few more projects between 2008 and 2011)related to this theme. Models were developed and in some cases implemented in the institutional repository of the university, for example in Delft. The concept of Enhanced Publications is not dead yet, as is shown by the recent publications in Liber Quartely.
But is all was focused on “publications”and the work package did not have only libraries as members….
Some of the partners have collections that are not focused on “publications”but for example on “records”(the archive) or “media” or “datasets”. So we asked all particpating partners to collect some examples of their concept of an “enhanced publication”. This offered a big variety in view points. For example the national archive saw links they created to other governmental databases of land registry as enhancing the record . DANS wanted to make a Reference from a publication to audio files with interviews, fragments of which were input for thee book and cited there in text.
We decided to neutralize our Definition by speaking about digital objects in digital context.
We decided to distinguish two types:
- one case where the author decided which “context” was part of the digital object
(this is basically the original concept of enhanced publication)
One case where the organisation decided the context (type A) In this case it is also important that this context is preserved, otherwise the organisations that facilitates giving context to its users, whilst having no control of the preservation of it, might not be able to serve its users anymore
The Netherlands has no legal deposit law and the National Library the KB, focus is on collecting “publications”. Roughly speaking the division in who preserves what is as follows, however this is not officially written down and often we are not so aware of what others are preserving, so NCDD started also a project to make an inventory of who is collecting what.
All these organisations were part of the working group.
We decided to take a practical approach and chose one use case that would be obvious to everyone: academic thesis. The national scientific output is important to preserve, the thesis will often have related digital material and underpinning the results by showing the data used.
All Dutch universities require an electronic version of the doctoral thesis to be deposited in the Institutional Repository of the University. But the doctorate regulations lack other prescriptions about metadata, the use of persistent identifiers and references between the publication and related datasets.

In this overview there is no (long term) relation between the object and its related context or enhancement
Enhanced Publications are not new. Also in the analogue age there are publications with attached materials of even tangible objects. Books with CD’s in the back, books with a seperate booklet of “research data”. Last week I came across a digitized newspaper fromnthe 50ties, with an manual about sewing a specific dress, the pattern of which was a publication of the same newspaper. And I wondered, iwas this an enhancement and if so, who is preserving them? To my knowledge papaer patterns are not part of a National Library collection strategy…
What is new nowadays, is that it is digital. The publication is digital and the enhancements are digital. To preerve these and the relationship between to object and the enhancements for the long term can be seen as an organizational issue. And this is what I want to talk about today.
