Opening Keynote for Taxonomy Bootcamp. Co-located with Knowledge Management World 2018.
Abstract: Taxonomies and ontologies are seeing a resurgence of interest and usage as Big Data proliferates, machine learning advances, and integration of data becomes more paramount. The previous models of labor-intensive, centralized vocabulary construction and maintenance do not mesh well in today’s interdisciplinary world. Learn about how information professionals can play a starring role in this new world. McGuinness gives a real-world view of building and maintaining large collaborative, interdisciplinary vocabularies along with the data repositories and services they empower, such as the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences’ Child Health Exposure Analysis Resource.

Ontologies are seeing a resurgence of interest and usage as big data proliferates, machine learning advances, and integration of data becomes more paramount. The previous models of sometimes labor-intensive, centralized ontology construction and maintenance do not mesh well in today’s interdisciplinary world that is in the midst of a big data, information extraction, and machine learning explosion. In this talk, we will discuss a model of building and maintaining large collaborative, interdisciplinary ontologies along with the data repositories and data services that they empower. We will also introduce the National Institutes of Environmental Health Science’s Child Health Exposure Analysis Resource and describe how we used our methodology to assemble the broad interdisciplinary ontology that covers exposure science and health and integrates with numerous long standing, well used ontologies. We will also describe how this ontology powers an integrated data resource and provide some examples of how it can be used and re-used for interdisciplinary work. If time permits, we will also describe how the methodology and the integrated ontology has been and is being used in other interdisciplinary health and wellness settings.

The Peer REview for Publication & Accreditation of Research data in the Earth sciences (PREPARDE) project seeks to capture the processes and procedures required to publish a scientific dataset, ranging from ingestion into a data repository, through to formal publication in a data journal. It will also address key issues arising in the data publication paradigm, namely, how does one peer-review a dataset, what criteria are needed for a repository to be considered objectively trustworthy, and how can datasets and journal publications be effectively cross-linked for the benefit of the wider research community.
I will discuss this and alternative approaches to research data management and publishing through examples in astronomy, biomedical and interdisciplinary research including the arts and humanities. Who can help in the long tail of research if lacking established data centers, archives or adequate institutional support? How much can we transfer from the so called “big data” sciences to other settings and where does the institution fit in with all this? What about software?
Publishing research data brings a wide and differing range of challenges for all involved, whatever the discipline. In PREPARDE we also considered the pre and post publication peer review paradigm, as implemented in the F1000 Research Publishing Model for the life sciences. Finally, in an era of truly international research how might we coordinate the many institutional, regional, national and international initiatives – has the time come for an international Research Data Alliance?
The slides that will accompany my live webcast for OpenCon 2014 attendees, all about open data in research. The benefits, the how to (both legally & technically), examples, pitfalls, and the future of open research data.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Key Findings
1. The introduction of data journals is a recent development. Data journals are
still a small-scale phenomenon, but their popularity is growing quite rapidly
and it is detectable in strong growth of citations over time.
2. Open data is largely driven by disciplinary culture given the significant
differences between scientific fields in the adoption of data journals.
3. The lack of consistency in reporting data sharing in the acknowledgment
section of scientific articles highlights a lack of reporting standards.
11. Insights from large-scale global survey
• How and why are researchers sharing data?
• Why are researchers reticent to share their own data openly?
• What is the role of research data management in data sharing?
• How do researchers perceive reusability?
12. A third of respondents do not publish research data
Q: Have you published the research data that you used or created as part of your last research project in any of the following ways?
13. The benefits of sharing research data are clear…
Q: To better understand your attitudes towards research data access, please think about the research data that typically is not published (e.g. not summary charts,
tables or images), and indicate how much you agree or disagree with the following statements.
Strongly agree/Agree
Neither agree nor
disagree/Don’t know
Strongly disagree/Disagree

14. …but obstacles remain
Q: To better understand your attitudes towards research data access, please think about the research data that typically is not published (e.g. not summary charts,
tables or images), and indicate how much you agree or disagree with the following statements.
Strongly agree/Agree
Neither agree nor

15. Whose data is it anyway?
Q: Who do you believe ‘owns’ the research data that you have made or will make available to others as part of your last research project?
16. Who is responsible for acting on data management plans?
Q: [Respondents indicated they are mandated to archive your research data and are provided with a research data management plan to follow.] Who is responsible
for the execution this research data management plan? Who is responsible for monitoring compliance this research data management plan?
17. Insights from large-scale global survey
Key finding 1
Dissemination of data is primarily contained within the current publishing system, even though one third of the researchers
do not publish their data at all.
Key finding 2
Data management requires significant effort, and training and resources are required. Open data mandates from funders or
publishers are not perceived as a driving force to improving data management training or planning.
Key finding 3
Research data is perceived as personally owned and decisions on sharing are driven by researchers, not by institutes or
funders. It is important to be aware that the concept of open data speaks directly to basic questions of ownership,
responsibility, and control.
Key finding 4
Researchers have little awareness of reuse licenses and proper attribution, thereby making it less rewarding to make data
reusable.
18. Insights from case studies
• Open Data generally operationalized as the sharing and reuse of data
• Open Data is not yet very common among scholars (Borgman, 2012)
• recent study (Costas, et al. 2013)
– data repositories as the basis for analyzing data sharing
– scarcity of data available in repositories
– wide variety of policies and associated infrastructures
• often overlooked: data practices in fields with a tradition of data sharing
– would not count as open data in the political sense
– But provides a close look on data practices in research at the grass root level
– involves reconceptualizing the ‘open’ in open data to include sharing and reuse that occurs in closed contexts

21. Case selection
Soil Mapping
• international center
dedicated to gathering
information on world soil
• for decades, outside
scientists’ willingness to
share their data with the
center has meant they have
accumulated a variety of
data pertaining to soil
properties of particular
regions
Human Genetics
• research center organized
into several co-located
biomedical genetics labs
• centralized bioinformatics
group provides data
processing and analysis
expertise to multiple labs
in the research center,
coordinating their activities
with several projects
Digital Humanities
• many digital humanities
research projects in the
Netherlands are linked
through a national level
network.
• focused on researchers
whose work straddles the
traditional humanities and
computational sciences
22. Data situated
• Data is quite often described as digital, structured, and in relation
to databases. Observations or source materials become data upon
deposit in a database, which renders data as accessible for sharing
and further processing
So: sharing/reuse embedded in the concept of data
clear database orientation for both data analysis and sharing
• Soil mapping:
– I would define it as systematized observations … and what I mean by that is enough
to know how that data came to be. Otherwise I don’t think you can really use it, you
might say, “We have observations,” you don’t really have data… That’s why we
speak of a database. It’s got structure. You know what every field is and what it
stands for. That’s what I would call data, yes.
23. Pragmatics of data sharing
• In most cases the data undergoes sequential analyses in a semi-
automated bundle of routines referred to as the ‘pipeline’. The database
is thus integral to data analysis routines and to sharing among
collaborators who participate in different stages of analysis
Layers of metadata; pipeline
Local reuse; bounded sharing
• Human genetics
– Just, yes, lots and lots of very small, sequential steps to come to an end product […] a list
of variants, that is, annotated variants, that’s what this pipeline does.
– we do is that we store all of the variants in a big database […] it will only answer in
frequencies, […] you cannot do any queries on the individual level, because asking, […] I
could identify a person; but by just asking frequency information, I still don’t know
anything except whether or not a variant is rare or frequent in a population.
24. Incentives for sharing/reuse
• The common themes are resisting openness and bounded sharing,
characterized by asymmetrical incentives, collaborative modes of
sharing, and evolving practices associated with new forms of
collaboration.
Tensions in the distribution of labor and publications.
While sharing data is valued, the career benefits in doing so are
uncertain.
• Human genetics
– Everyone always thinks it’s a good idea, but when you say “Okay, now, come send your
data, we’ll put it in this database.” Then people always have concerns. ..you always end
up with long, long discussions why they can’t share it.
• Digital humanities
– There is a natural selection to the kind of students we get in literary studies. Occasionally,
there are students, I’ve got one of them now who says, “I want to do maths. I want to go to
mathematical studies as well and learn statistics, so that I can do this kind of research.”
That’s great.
25. Governance and accountability
• Publisher mandates matter, funder mandates don't
– Human genetics: “funding agencies, they now start to impose this, but they do not control whether
you’ve really... they do not check whether you’ve done it, right? So, there is still not a penalty for this.”
– Soil mapping: “From the perspective of their own accountability as a center, a lack of consistent data
citing practices means that accrediting committees are unable to evaluate the number of times the
center’s data has been reused in publications”.
• Security of data & privacy is leading
– Human genetics: sharing of genetic data must comply with strict privacy measures.
• Cross-disciplinary practices
– Digital humanities: .. the transfer of practices between disciplines and the utilization of resources
common with collaborators rather than following typical repository-oriented resources associated with
the broader open data movement.
• Training related to open data was generally understood as beneficial and/or
desired, but largely missing.
26. Globalization
• Negotiating terms of exchange
• Privacy and security:
– Soil mapping: strict privacy laws that prevent inclusion of geographical coordinate points
(France) and restrictions on the scale of data that can be shown (China)
• Financial
– Soil mapping: diverging expectations over whether monetary exchange should occur
(Netherlands and United Kingdom)
• Bureaucracy
– Soil mapping: bureaucratic practices that prolong and may prevent access to data (India)
• Cultural objects
– Digital humanities: I was just in Japan which has a completely different idea about for
instance museums as treasure holds. They protect the treasures of culture and they would
never consider opening that up just freely for the public... There's one university library in
Nagasaki that is digitizing their own photo albums, but that was mainly it.
27. Commodification
• licensing and commercialization
commercial funding
commercialization of tools
societal relevance, though often commercialization is still a ‘bad
word’
• Digital humanities
– “A small company, a consultancy company who works on projects for publishers
wanted to know if they could use our corpus, because they were trying to predict a
best-seller. So, now we’re working on a new project in which we try to develop a
scouting tool for publishers.”
28. Key findings, Case studies (1)
1. Consider open data as a situated activity
o All three cases reveal ways in which the pragmatics of data sharing and reuse are
embedded both in conceptions of data and in normal data processing work.
o Observations or source materials become data upon deposit in a database, which renders
data accessible for sharing and further processing.
Reflection on survey: Note that ‘data’ in the survey is primarily defined as
observations/results/source materials, rather than in relation to databases
2. Freeing-up data for reuse and sharing is hindered by national and
regional differences with respect to data privacy and licensing.
o The case study material illustrates potential globalization challenges regarding ‘late stage’
data sharing and reuse practices.
o Friction from national differences was evident, including, cultural, bureaucratic and
financial assumptions.
Reflection on survey: privacy issues, proprietary aspects, and ethics seem a common
barrier
29. Key findings, Case studies (2)
3. Data is only integrally configured for sharing and reuse in
collaborative research projects, where incentives for sharing are
embedded in the research design itself.
Reflection on survey: Collaborative research can be used as a driver
for data sharing also in non-data intensive research fields
4: Training related to open data was generally understood as beneficial
and/or desired, but largely missing.
Reflection on survey: Training on open data handling is a big issue
as well, as well as question who should be responsible for it. The
researcher?
Implication: The key findings raise questions about the efficacy of policy
that prescribes open data practices as an activity apart from situated
contexts.
33. Suggested questions for the panel
When and why should a researcher choose to publish data in data journals? Is it for
example dependent or independent from other publications?
How would you address the tension of researchers wanting to share but afraid of
losing control over their data?
How can you make researchers see the benefits of Open Data before they see the
problems?
How would you (re)formulate open data policy to enable bottom-up implementation?
What will be the tipping point(s) for Open Data?
What are concrete implementation steps of Open Data for the researchers, for
institutions and for funders?
