- SURF is an organization in the Netherlands that works to improve ICT infrastructure for higher education and research. - SURF is working on projects to develop "enhanced publications" which combine traditional publications like text with additional materials like data, maps, images and annotations. - Several projects have been funded to create enhanced publications in fields like archaeology and psychology. Challenges include presentation, identification, long-term preservation and developing tools and infrastructure to support enhanced publications. - Moving forward, SURF will work on developing repository infrastructure to store and share enhanced publications, creating guidelines and incentivizing their creation through things like legal reports and reward systems.

4. SURF SURF is the Netherlands higher education and research partnership organisation for network services and information and communications technology (ICT). The Mission of SURF is to exploit and improve a common advanced ICT infrastructurethat will enable higher education institutions to better realize their own ambitions and improve the quality of learning, teaching and research.

5. Higher Education in the Netherlands Netherlands: 16½ million Inhabitants 550.000 students, 18-25 years old 13 Universities + 1 Open University 40 Universities for applied sciences 5 large public/private Research Institutes Royal Library (KB), Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), Knowledge for Business (TNO), and the Politieacademie All participate in SURF voluntarily as a paying member represented in SURF Board CNI, Fall 2009

30. Projects JALC Journal of Archaeology in the Low Countries: Open Access journal with Enhanced Publications within the Domain of Archeology Enhancing Publications with Archaeological Data (GIS maps, pictures, Excavation maps etc.) Link:http://dpc.uba.uva.nl/jalc/01/nr01/a04 (if not): see screenshots

36. Projects (2) 2. Veteran Tapes Audio interviews and transcriptions of interviews are linked to parts of publications. Pointing towards Fragments of interviews Interdisciplinary (psychologists, historians, linguists, sociologists) Researchers participate and see the added value but when the funding stops there is no other reward for them to keep doing what they’re doing. Will result in multiple Enhanced Publications one of which is an Enhanced e-book.

37. Projects (3) 3. Proefschriften Plus (Enhanced Theses) - Is a follow up on a KE project about Enhanced E-theses. Will produce 25 Enhanced E-Theses as a showcase Had to built their own solution for the repository (Dspace 1.5 isn’t ready for EP’s) Will look into the possibility of this being a ‘Library Service’ for Dissertations at the UU Broad scope of disciplines; ran into the issue of the lacking of ontology's

38. Projecten (4) 4. ESCAPE (Enhanced Scientific Communication by Aggregated Publication Environments) - Develop Resource Maps, Resource map Repository and a Resource Map Editor Looking into some technical issues surrounding the current Repository Infrastructure and the aspects that need to be addressed if this infrastructure is to support the creation, storage and dissemination of Enhanced Publications (e.g. discoverability of Ep’s, the governance around Ep’s, presentation of EP’s) Delivered Use cases from different disciplines… addresses problem of the difficulty of showing the added value of EP’s over PDF’s with hyperlinks…

39. Projecten (5) 5. DatapluS Enhance Publications with datasets and syntax in two Subject repositories NKO (National Voters Survey) and EVS (European Values Studies) Built a Enhanced Publication Tool (EP Editor) with which researchers could Enhance their own Publications Publications in Repository Linked with Data from Data archives and syntax Extra work for researchers…. Metadata capture rather during research than retrospectively

49. We are not alone in this Still looks like basic HTML though, no semantics… no possible machine to machine interaction, but they of course might consider this if the concept proves pleasing for researchers

50. Challenges Optimal generic presentation (demonstrator2) Feedback & annotations (Open Annotation Collaboration??) Identification (PID’S!) Resource consistency (Versions!) Availability of resources (Raw Data now!) Creation/Ownership/Responsibilities (metadata capture, reward systems) Long Term Preservation (central?) Use cases, for the present not the future….(Showcase) Building an (inter)national community CNI, Fall 2009

52. Don’t try to solve all the data curation and semantic web issues in this WP. Work with the already curated data, if possible meet the criteria to jump on the SemWeb train later (2011…)

53. Continue developments towards Enhanced Publication Supporting Repositories (and tools)

55. Roadmap 2010/11Enhanced Publications Infrastructure 1. Demonstrator with multiple views based on the same information -> Showcase * Tabbased * PDF look-a-like for some disciplines, Graph based view for others 2. Further developing the current repository infrastructure in the Netherlands to have it facilitate the creation, storage and dissemination of EP’s. -> Looking at eSciDoc and Future Fedora/Dspace versions 3. Support the Persistent Identifier Project of KE 4. Tools for creation (word plugin, project editors, LORE)

56. Roadmap (2) Organisational 1. Legal report on sharing different kinds of objects 2. Review and reward systems for Enhanced publications and it’s components (prominently datasets) 3. Gather experiences from projects and try to make guidelines and if possible workflows for creation, storage and dissemination of EP’s 4. To broaden the knowledge and possibilities; Roadshow, Workshops, and ultimately funding short projects (tutor model?)

57. Final Thoughts It’s not just the software…the technique will always be ahead of the organisation here (find a balance between Technology driven and User needs) We are dealing with a paradigm shift here, give it some time… Paper -> digital Linair publications -> Modulair publication (kircz 2002) EP’s is a means towards more openly available research content, not a goal in itself As long ad researchers are not rewarded for publishing datasets, or EP’s it won’t be massively adopted (without funding…)
