SciDataCon 2014 Data Papers and their applications workshop - NPG Scientific ...Susanna-Assunta Sansone
Part of the SciDataCon14 workshop on "Data Papers and their applications" run by myself and Brian Hole to help attendees understand current data-publishing journals and trends and help them understand the editorial processes on NPG's Scientific Data and Ubiquity's Open Health Data.
The document discusses the evolution of peer review in scientific publishing from traditional peer review to more modern approaches. It outlines traditional peer review which has been used by most journals since World War 2 with one editor and 2-3 reviewers. Preprint servers emerged in 1991 allowing fast publication without review. Impact-neutral review began in the 2000s prioritizing scientific soundness over impact. Frontiers journals adopted collaborative peer review in 2007 with a two-phase process, transparency, and real-time discussion between authors and reviewers. Open access journals now number over 350 specialties publishing high volumes of research.

Opportunities and challenges presented by Wikidata in the context of biocurationBenjamin Good
Abstract—Wikidata is a world readable and writable knowledge base maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. It offers the opportunity to collaboratively construct a fully open access knowledge graph spanning biology, medicine, and all other domains of knowledge. To meet this potential, social and technical challenges must be overcome - many of which are familiar to the biocuration community. These include community ontology building, high precision information extraction, provenance, and license management. By working together with Wikidata now, we can help shape it into a trustworthy, unencumbered central node in the Semantic Web of biomedical data.

Tony Epstein (Sir Michael Anthony Epstein, discoverer of the Epstein-Barr virus) once said to me something I’ve never forgotten:
“Research that is not published is wasted research.”
We live today in an era of open scholarship and open data, in which the Web is the primary means of communication. For many people, information that is not freely published on the Web might as well not exist. It is thus “wasted research”.
However, within academia, we also have to live in the legacy world of subscription-access journals and subscription-access citation indexes such as Web of Science and Scopus – freely available only to members of rich scholarly institutions like Oxford University that pays hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to obtain access for their members, not to the rest of the world including scholars in developing nations.
Today I will briefly discuss the five factors desirable for scholarly publications – the Five Stars of Online Journal Articles: peer review, open access, enriched content, available datasets and machine-readable metadata [1].
I will then discuss how bibliographic citations, which permit an author to give credit to another person's endeavours and integrate our independent acts of scholarship into a global knowledge network, are being freed from commercial restrictions by publication in the OpenCitations Corpus (http://opencitations.net), an open repository of scholarly citation data that others may build upon, enhance and reuse for any purpose [2, 3].

The chorus originated in ancient Greek festivals honoring Dionysus, where groups would compete in singing and dancing. These choral competitions eventually became part of Greek plays. The chorus remained an important part of Greek dramas as it provided commentary, exposition, and engaged with characters. Composed of trained singers and dancers, the chorus had its own scenes between acts and participated throughout the entire play through song, dance, and dialogue.

1. The document discusses T.S. Eliot's play "Murder in the Cathedral", focusing on its characters, themes, and significance.
2. It analyzes Thomas Becket as the main character and martyr, and examines analogies between him and Jesus Christ.
3. The chorus of women who comment on the action are discussed in terms of their role in developing the plot and themes.
Drama and dramatic arts involve the expression and performance of literature through theater. It can be used to spread ideas to large audiences and comes in different forms from loosely organized entertainment to elite art. Key components include playwriting, acting, costumes, and scene design which come together to bring drama to life for audiences through performers and elements of theater.
Greek tragedies followed certain conventions:
They were performed in large outdoor theaters holding thousands, with no microphones or scene changes. The chorus commented on the action through songs between dramatic episodes, helping establish mood and interpret events. Plays focused on a single storyline over a short period in a single location, with the chorus representing community thoughts.
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in 1888 in St. Louis to a prominent New England family but largely abandoned his Midwestern roots to ally himself with New and Old England. He was educated at Harvard and studied in Paris and Germany, settling in London in 1914. Eliot had great success with his first book of poems in 1917 and wrote "The Waste Land" in 1922, considered one of the most influential English poems. He converted to Anglicanism in 1927 and his subsequent religious works, like "Four Quartets," examined spiritual themes through his philosophical and symbolic style. By the end of his life, Eliot had received the Nobel Prize for Literature and established himself as one of the most important poets of the 20th
Greek theater originated from ritual dances honoring Dionysus, the god of wine. The chorus acted as narrators to provide context and intensify emotion. It served several functions - maintaining ceremony, establishing mood through song and dance, commenting on the dramatic action, and connecting the audience. The chorus size decreased as the number of actors increased from one to three. Chorus members were volunteers doing their civic duty, rehearsing for months and supported by wealthy sponsors.
T.S. Eliot was an American-born poet, playwright, and literary critic. He was born in 1888 in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended Harvard University where he received both undergraduate and graduate degrees. After college, he spent time touring Europe before moving to London in 1915. Some of his most famous works include The Waste Land and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Eliot was heavily influenced by myths and used fragmentation in his works to reflect the modern experience. The Waste Land addresses themes of cultural fragmentation in the post-WWI period through its use of allusion and symbols.
The document provides information about key components of Greek theatre and context for the play Antigone by Sophocles. The main components of Greek theatre included the theatron or seating area, orchestra or performance space, and skene or backdrop. Actors, usually men, wore masks and used elaborate gestures while the chorus consisted of 12-15 men who sang and danced. Antigone took place during the annual Dionysia festival in Athens and was written by Sophocles around 495 BCE, set against the background of events in myths involving Oedipus and his children.
Drama originated in ancient Greece between 600-200 BC and was associated with religious festivals. The Greeks produced tragedies and comedies. Drama was then adopted by the Romans and spread throughout Europe and the Mediterranean world. During the Middle Ages, religious plays became popular ways to teach Christianity. The Renaissance saw a rebirth of Greek and Roman plays and the development of new secular dramas, particularly in Elizabethan England with playwrights like Shakespeare and Marlowe.
The document discusses the key elements of drama, including plot, characters, dialogue, and theme. It provides an overview of Aristotle's original six elements of drama from ancient Greece as well as the modern elements. There are three main categories of elements: literary elements related to the story, technical elements of production, and performance elements related to acting. The document also includes a short summary of the plot of the play "The World Is an Apple" to illustrate the elements.
Elements of greek tragedy and the tragic herocafeharmon
Greek tragedy dealt with themes of love, loss, pride and the abuse of power. The protagonists typically commit a terrible crime without realizing their arrogance, and then as they realize their error, destruction ensues. Key playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Satyr plays made light of tragedy's characters and were performed between tragic acts. The Greeks believed fate determined events and one should not act with excessive pride or hubris, as this could lead to downfall. Aristotle defined tragedy as evoking pity and fear through a noble protagonist's demise due to an error, bringing catharsis to audiences.
The document summarizes the key elements of drama that can be used to analyze dramatic works. It divides these elements into three categories: literary elements, technical elements, and performance elements. The literary elements include plot, character, exposition, conflict, theme, and dialogue. The technical elements comprise scenery, costumes, props, lights, and sound. The performance elements involve acting, character motivation, verbal and nonverbal expression, and character analysis.
A drama is a story enacted onstage that originated from ancient Greek theater. Tragedies typically deal with serious themes and end unhappily, while comedies focus on romantic conflicts and end happily. The elements of drama that can be analyzed include literary elements like plot, character, and theme as well as technical elements of scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound and performance elements of acting, character analysis, and nonverbal expression.
This document summarizes a presentation about CHORUS, a non-profit organization that works to ensure public access compliance with open access policies. The presentation discusses how CHORUS uses alerting systems and dashboards to monitor compliance by tracking articles, ensuring they are publicly accessible after the embargo period expires, and providing metrics to funders. Publishers can join CHORUS to help researchers easily comply with funder requirements by tagging articles with funding data and embargo dates.

CHORUS, the first service of CHOR Inc., offers an open platform to identify, discover, access, preserve, and ensure compliance of research articles. It leverages existing infrastructure like CrossRef and dark archives while simplifying compliance for stakeholders and providing public access at no significant cost to agencies. Over 80 publishers have signed on to pilot CHORUS, which currently identifies over 13,000 research articles through its identification, discovery, and dashboard services.
The document discusses the SHARE, CHORUS, and open access initiatives. It provides information on:
1) The US Office of Science and Technology Policy directive that requires federal research agencies spending over $100 million annually to develop public access plans for research articles and data. This includes a 12-month embargo period.
2) The CHORUS initiative works with publishers to provide public access to research articles after the embargo period through their portal. It links to publisher versions or author manuscripts deposited in repositories.
3) The SHARE initiative aims to create a comprehensive research information system through components like a notification service, registry, and discovery platform to help address challenges around access, preservation, and reuse of research outputs

5-14-13 An Introduction to VIVO Presentation SlidesDuraSpace
“Hot Topics: The DuraSpace Community Webinar Series, "Series Five: VIVO: Research Discovery and Networking.” Webinar #1: An Introduction to VIVO, May 14, 2013
Presented by: Dean Krafft, Chief Technology Strategist at Cornell University Library and Chair of the VIVO-DuraSpace Management Committee, Brian Lowe, Semantic Applications Programmer, Cornell and Jon Corson-Rikert, VIVO Development Lead, Cornell
Sitations are the way that researchers communicate how
their work builds on and relates to the work of others and
they can be used to trace how a discovery spreads and is
used by researchers in different disciplines and countries.
Creating a truly comprehensive map of scholarship,
however, relies on having a curated machine-readable
database of citation information, where the provenance of
every citation is clear and reusable. The Initiative for Open
Citations (I4OC), a campaign launched on 6 April 2017,
sought to make publisher members of Crossref aware that
they could open up the citation metadata they already give
to Crossref simply by asking them. With the support of
major publishers and the endorsement of funders and other
organisations, more than 50% of citation data in Crossref
is now freely available, up from less than 1% before the
campaign. This provides the foundation of a well-structured,
open database of literally millions of datapoints that anyone
can query, mine, consume and explore. The presenter will
discuss the aims of the campaign, the new innovative
services that are already using the data, what more still
needs to be done and how you can support the initiative.
Catriona J MacCallum, Hindawi
We will provide a glimpse into the process of assembling data from publishers, funders, and repositories to create meaningful reports of emerging research release events.
Funders and publishers have something in common: for better or worse, we have the ability to influence the behavior of researchers. This talk will focus on what both groups can do to improve research now and in the future.

Standardizing Data and Data Exchange in Scholarly Publishing
SHARE is a higher education initiative that aims to maximize research impact by developing an infrastructure for seamlessly tracking and sharing information about research activities and outputs. It is funded to develop a Notification Service to inform stakeholders such as funders and institutions about new research releases from multiple sources. The Center for Open Science is collaborating with SHARE to build the Notification Service as a modular, scalable and flexible system that will gather metadata from various sources, normalize it, and notify consumers through methods such as RSS and an API integrated with the Open Science Framework. Challenges include inconsistent metadata across sources and a lack of universal identifiers, but the service stands to significantly improve visibility and accountability of research.
This document provides an introduction to open access publishing. It discusses the two main types of open access, gold and green, and notes the rapid growth of open access journals and repositories in recent years. Funding mandates from agencies like Canada's Tri-Agencies are also driving more research to be made openly accessible. The document seeks to dispel common myths about open access and provides resources for supporting open access publishing at the author's institution.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

SHARE and CHORUS met in July 2013 to discuss initiatives and explore areas of possible collaboration. I believe this meeting included Judy from ARL and Howard from CHORUS.Both agreed to work jointly on persistent identifiers (DOIs) and metrics (dashboard could potentially be used to expose metrics from SHARE). Metrics to be determined, but most important message here is the potential collaboration and spirit of working together to solve problems... And both agreed to follow up this month

Whenever you develop a product or service you should identify the key stakeholders and figure out what might drive them to use such a service or in other words WHAT they want. We have defined around 10 personas but today I will only mention the top 5. Keep in mind, personas are about what the stakeholders desire. It does not mean that every desire can or should be delivered. Alan wants to * meet OSTP guidelines+ measure grantee and agency compliance with guidelines/mandate ++ show how his agency’s investments are having impact (ROI) + provide access
