Defining Digital Earth as a virtual representation of all digital information with a geospatial component, this geography attempts to delineate the scope and elements of Digital Earth. The framework for this geography is a set of layers applicable to describing an information system. From bottom to top the layers are physical, data, information, knowledge, decisions and actions. Conclusions of this geography are that some technologies are sufficient for a Digital Earth to come into existence, but some technologies, in particular in the upper layers, need to be developed. Three conclusions are listed in this abstract. In the physical and data layers, the explosive growth of Internet provides access to much Digital Earth data. However, the bandwidth necessary for high-end Digital Earth clients will not be widely deployed for some time. In the near term it will be necessary to have Digital Earth access points in public places like museums where high bandwidth is available. Digital Earth information volume is estimated by assuming a fraction of all digital information that has a geospatial component. Estimates place the total volume of recorded information at several thousand petabytes, i.e., several exabytes. It has been regularly postulated in the geographic community that half or more of all information has a geospatial component. Even though we will soon have the capacity to digitally record this volume of information, most of of it will never be looked at by a human. Tools are needed for auto-summarization, distilling the information into knowledge with lower volume and higher semantic content. To allow decisions and actions based on the knowledge of Digital Earth requires analysis of the knowledge using tools particular to the geospatial domain. As Digital Earth will exist in a distributed service environment based on standards for interoperability, the standards must address the particulars of geospatial semantics. Syntax standards for transporting semantic information (e.g., XML) have been defined and extended with geospatial structures. Standards for achieving shared understandings ("domain semantics") are yet to be developed. Beyond domain semantics, the validity of chaining services on geospatial features ("process semantics") is less developed.

Consortium on Digitization of Indian Agricultural Library Resources

Devakumar Jain

The document proposes establishing a consortium to strengthen libraries within the Indian National Agricultural Research System (NARS) by transitioning them to digital libraries. The consortium would work to digitize resources, create a union catalog, build capacity for librarians, and provide access to digital materials. Key activities would include digitization of collections, development of institutional repositories, training workshops, and creating a searchable online platform to improve access to resources. The goals are to modernize services, facilitate knowledge sharing, and ensure long-term preservation and access to information.

ariadnenetwork

This presentation by Achille Felicetti of PIN (Università degli Studi di Firenze, Prato) on the work by the ARIADNE infrastructure to integrating archaeological data was given as part of a workshop organised by Digital Humanities Austria. The workshop focussed on the pressing question of long-term preservation of digital data from various angles, central being user needs specific to the different fields of the Humanities. Felicetti introduced the ARIADNE research infrastructure, which has been funded by the EC's FP7 programme, to integrate archaeological research datasets from across Europe and support their uses by researchers.

The ARIADNE project aims to integrate European archaeological datasets by overcoming fragmentation and fostering data sharing. It seeks to achieve syntactic and semantic interoperability between repositories and ensure digital provenance. The partnership will provide networking activities, access to shared datasets and tools, and research on knowledge organization and new analytical methods. Ultimately, ARIADNE hopes to address social challenges around community building, technological challenges of improved data use, and scientific challenges of reshaping archaeological methodology.

Open Data Publication - Requirements, Good practices, and Benefits

ariadnenetwork

ARIADNE is an EU-funded project that aims to facilitate sharing of archaeological datasets across Europe. The document discusses open data publication requirements, good practices, and benefits. It notes barriers to open data sharing include lack of incentives and effort required. Survey results presented on current limited sharing behavior. The benefits of open data publication are described, including increased citations and recognition for data providers. Proper preparation and documentation of datasets is important for others to find and reuse the data. Widespread open data sharing could enable new collaborative and data-driven research.

ariadnenetwork

To promote open science and data reuse, it is necessary to have data available in open repositories that guarantee their accessibility and permanence, while facilitating their reuse. Data classified as FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) must follow guidelines that ensure the use of an appropriate metadata scheme, persistent identifiers, well-defined vocabularies, procedures to standardize and improve data quality and sustainable file formats. We will present the methodology used for recording the coin findings from an archaeological excavation carried out by the Archaeology Unit of the University of Minho (UAUM) in the intervention of Casa da Bica, starting with the recording of data in the UAUM's 2ArchIS information system and ending with its availability in the scientific repository "DataRepositóriUM". We will also present some works of visualization and research as examples of the reuse of these data sets, which can be wider when they are integrated in structures of greater visibility like ARIADNE.

A Conversation About Research Data

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

This document summarizes a conversation about publicly funded research data. It discusses the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC) at Carleton University, which receives public funding from various government and non-profit sources for its geospatial research. GCRC believes publicly funded research outputs should be openly accessible whenever possible. It uses open licenses for software and publishes data through open portals. GCRC also works with communities on participatory data collection and ensures community consent and control over sensitive traditional knowledge. The document outlines GCRC's guiding principles of open access, interoperability, data preservation and community oversight of data.

A Conversation About Publicly Funded Research Data

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

Researchers use government data in their work, the data derived from the research of others, and also produce data as part of their research processes. Generally, but not always, university based research is publicly funded; however there are few opportunities to re-disseminate these publicly funded data back to the public and to other researchers. Publicly funded research data are not managed nor preserved during the course of academic research and not once a research project is completed, furthermore there is uneven access to government produced data. This conversation session will therefore explore some of these issues by examining research practices at the GCRC and other community based organizations.

NARA faces major challenges in managing the enormous and growing volume of electronic records from the federal government due to constantly changing technology and software/hardware dependencies. NARA has responded by developing the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) vision for a system that can preserve and provide access to any type of electronic record independently of specific hardware or software. However, more progress is still needed in practical experience and addressing dependencies. NARA is partnering with research organizations and leveraging other projects to advance its empirical research on scalable, infrastructure-independent repositories and the long-term preservation of electronic records.

Mid-Sweden University/SNIA Conference 13 October 2008

Mark Conrad

The document discusses the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) program at the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It outlines NARA's challenges in preserving and providing access to massive amounts of electronic records from the US government. The ERA program conducts research to develop next-generation technologies and methods for issues like managing heterogeneous data at large scales, integrating information from different sources, and ensuring records can be accessed over time as technologies change. Examples of ERA's research partnerships with organizations like NIST, the Army Research Laboratory, and the National Science Foundation are provided.

Opening Research Data

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

ABSTRACT: Most university based research is publicly funded and researchers use government data in their work, the data derived from the research of others, and also produce data as part of the research process. The Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC) at Carleton University does this and also adheres to the principle that publicly funded research results should be created in such a way that they can be re-disseminated back to the public. I will therefore discuss how the GCRC collaboratively collects, uses, maps and re-disseminates its data and will highlight some of the open data issues it encounters while doing so. Also, it will be argued that even though the GCRC adheres to access principles, a lack of a national digital data archive and data preservation and management support from granting councils impedes the GCRC and others from sharing their data more broadly while open data strategies have yet to take research data into consideration. Most notably, Canada does not have a research data archive, preservation policy nor a network of university based data repositories.

Biodiversity Information Networks: Dataflows for interdisciplinary sciences

GBIF_NPT

Danis and Parsons, presentation given at the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity, Aberdeen, September 2011. ANSTRACT: In this paper, we present SCAR’s Marine Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR-MarBIN, www.scarmarbin.be), introduce the new Antarctic Biodiversity Information Facility (ANTABIF, www.biodiversity.aq) and argue that it has become vital and practicable to support an international mechanism for the exchange of scientific data. This approach allows to integrate large data volumes, and helps modern biologists to face a “data deluge” using new techniques and technologies currently developed in the field of biodiversity informatics. Biodiversity is an example of data-intensive science, and certainly requires an interdisciplinary, scalable approach to address complex systemic problems such as environmental change and its impact on marine ecosystems. This paper discusses the experience of data scientists seeking to collect, curate, and provide data during the timeframe of the International Polar Year. The data content of the SCAR-MarBIN and ANTABIF holdings has been explored, and recent published analyses are used to illustrate concrete examples. We find that while technology is a critical factor to address this dimension, the greater challenges are more socio-cultural than technical. We describe a vision of discoverable, open, linked, useful, and safe data and suggest the need for a rapid socio-technical evolution in the overall science data ecosystem.

Digital Preservation

Smita Chandra

Digital preservation of scientific and cultural heritage is important but faces challenges. A proposal is made for India to: 1) Digitize fragile magnetic recordings from geomagnetism research to ensure long-term access and analysis. 2) Develop a national strategy for digital preservation including legal policies, training, and research to ensure long-term access to digital resources. 3) Leverage the OAIS reference model and form collaborations between libraries, archives, and data centers to establish best practices for the preservation of India's digital heritage.

The Map as a Fundamental Source in the Memory of the World

Communication and Media Studies, Carleton University

UNESCO Conference The Memory of the World in the Digital age: Digitization and Preservation 26-28 September 2012, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Tracey P. Lauriault, D. R. Fraser Taylor Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre Carleton University, Canada http://gcrc.carleton.ca ABSTRACT The central argument of the paper is that maps and spatial information have been fundamental facet of the memory of societies from all over the world for millennia and their preservation should be an integral part of government digital data strategies. The digital era in map making is a relatively recent phenomenon and the first digital maps date from the 1960s. Digital mapping has accelerated very rapidly over the last decade. Such mapping is now ubiquitous with an increasing amount of spatially referenced information being created by non-governmental organizations, academia, the private sector and government as well by social networks and citizen scientists. Unfortunately despite this explosion of digital mapping little or no attention is being paid to their preservation and, as a result, what has been a fundamental source of scientific and cultural information, maps, are very much at risk. Already we are losing map information faster than it is being created and the loss of this central part of the cultural heritage of societies all over the world is a serious concern. There has already been a serious loss of maps such as the Canada Land Inventory and the 1986 BBC Domesday Project of 1986 and mapping agencies all over the world are struggling to preserve maps in the new digital era. It is somewhat paradoxical that it is easier to get maps that are hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of years old than maps of the late 20th and early 21 centuries. This paper examines the challenges and opportunities of preserving and accessing Canadian digital maps, atlases and geospatial information, which are cultural and scientific knowledge assets.

DataCite: the Perfect Complement to CrossRef

Crossref

DataCite was created to address the lack of effective ways to link datasets to articles and identify datasets. It assigns digital object identifiers (DOIs) to datasets to allow them to be cited similarly to scholarly articles. Many research institutions and libraries around the world are members of DataCite, including organizations in Europe, North America, and Asia. DataCite helps establish datasets as legitimate contributions to the scientific record that can be identified and cited.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days

Kari Kakkonen

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024 Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
