This presentation gives an overview on national systems for validation of informal and non-formal learning in Europe and presents a tool for identification of competences in migrants and refugees – the Competence Cards. It was held at the EARLALL annual conference on May 12 of 2016 in Brussels during the workshop “Building up Regional Initiatives to Develop Guidance for low-skilled adults”. After a short introduction the presentation outlines the validation process and core elements as well as quality criteria for any validation system. It then compares 8 European good practice examples. In a second part it describes the development and use of the Competence Cards. This is a tool that helps to identify competences and support the clearing situation at the beginning of any guidance process. The cards are modular, multi-lingual, contain a key visual illustrating the competence and further support for the guide. They come in a set with cards for interests and with templates for a documentation of the identified competences. The presentation provides a download link to the English version of the cards and a 10 minute instruction video for its use.

Juliane Stiller

In dem Vortrag erläutern wir was Open Access ist und warum es auch für Museen eine große Rolle spielt. Wir gehen auf die Vorteile von mehr Offenheit ein und zeigen, wie Museen von der Auseinandersetzung mit Open Access profitieren können. Außerdem präsentieren wir erste Ergebnisse einer Interviewreihe mit Berliner Museumseinrichtungen über Open Access. Dabei geht es um das Verständnis von Open Access in Museen, welche Maßnahmen für offene Kulturdaten bereits umgesetzt werden und welche Hindernisse offenen Kulturdaten noch im Wege stehen. Der Vortrag wurde im Rahmen des Treffen der AG Brandenburgische Museen digitalgehalten.

Berlin auf dem Weg zu Open Research

Juliane Stiller

Im Auftrag des Berliner Senats unterstützt das Open-Access-Büro Berlin (OABB) seit 2015 Wissenschafts- und Kultureinrichtungen des Landes Berlin bei der Umsetzung der Open-Access-Strategie für Berlin. In den letzten Jahren lässt sich beobachten, dass sich Positionen und Initiativen um Open Access zunehmend auf Open Research (Open Science) als übergeordnetes Konzept verlagern. Die Berliner Open-Access-Strategie adressiert bereits Handlungsfelder einer offenen Wissenschaft wie Open Access zu Publikationen, Forschungsdaten und Kulturdaten. Um diese und weitere Open-Research-Praktiken in Berlin zu stärken, hat das OABB im Auftrag der Arbeitsgruppe Open-Access-Strategie für Berlin eine Empfehlung für eine Landesinitiative Open Research Berlin erstellt. Das Open-Access-Büro Berlin hat begleitend dazu in Zusammenarbeit mit You, We & Digital wissenschaftliche und kulturelle Landeseinrichtungen, darunter auch die Hochschulbibliotheken, zu wichtigen Handlungsfeldern, Aktivitäten, Werten und Prinzipien von Offenheit in der Wissenschaft befragt. Ein Ziel dieser im Rahmen des Projekts "Berlin Open Research" durchgeführten Konsultation ist es, einen Prozess hin zu einer offenen und partizipativen Wissenschaft anzustoßen, die sich auch für strukturelle Gerechtigkeit und Inklusion verantwortlich zeigt.Der Beitrag präsentiert den landesspezifischen Rahmen der Befragung sowie deren Ergebnisse unter Berücksichtigung der Rolle der Bibliotheken an den Einrichtungen. Es wird darüber hinaus gezeigt, wie sich die Konsultation als ein partizipatives Element in die Ausgestaltung der strategischen Positionierung auf Landesebene einschreiben kann. Das Projekt "Berlin Open Research" wurde von Berlin University Alliance (BUA) im Rahmen von Objective 3 "Advancing Research Quality and Value" finanziell unterstützt und gemeinsam mit "You, We & Digital" durchgeführt.

Juliane Stiller

In diesem Vortrag sprechen wir über unsere Erfahrungen mit der Lernwerkstatt Digital Skills im Rahmen des Projekts digicom.work, in welcher wir Geflüchteten Digitale Kompetenzen in Bezug auf die Arbeitsmarktorientierung in Deutschland vermitteln. Angelehnt an die Schritte im Bewerbungsprozess stehen in der Lernwerkstatt der Umgang mit Hard- und Software, Recherchestrategien, Informationskompetenz und kollaboratives Arbeiten im Vordergrund. Neben praktischen Einblicken in die angewandten Methoden widmen wir einen Teil des Vortrags der Frage, welchen Beitrag die Informationswissenschaft zu aktuellen Herausforderungen wie Flucht und Migration, Digital- und Informationskompetenz und Gender leisten kann.

Juliane Stiller

Als Eckpfeiler gelungener Inklusion Geflüchteter und Migranten gilt die Eingliederung in den Arbeitsmarkt. Die Orientierung in Bezug auf Jobangebot, Qualifikationserwerb oder Bewerbung ist jedoch oft schwierig, insbesondere dann wenn sie im Internet stattfindet. In Deutschland ist das Internet eine wichtige Informationsquelle für Arbeitssuchende einerseits und für das Online-Recruiting durch die Arbeitgeber andererseits. Im Rahmen der beruflichen Orientierung und Arbeitsplatzsuche sind digitale Kompetenzen unabdingbar. Sie können Geflüchtete in die Lage versetzen, sich Informationen eigenständig zu beschaffen und selbstbestimmt Entscheidungen bei der beruflichen Integration zu treffen. Der kulturelle Informationsraum, in dem sich Neuankömmlinge erst zurechtfinden müssen, spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle und bedingt indes auch die notwendigen digitalen Kompetenzen für die Arbeitssuche. In diesem Vortrag möchten wir Ergebnisse einer Studie vorstellen, in der Geflüchtete Aufgaben zur Jobsuche und Arbeitsmarktorientierung erhalten, Fragen zu ihrer Internetnutzung beantwortet sowie an Interviews zu ihren Erfahrungen bei der Jobsuche in Deutschland teilgenommen haben. Wir werden darauf eingehen, welche Hürden es für Geflüchtete bei der Informationssuche im Internet sowie der Computernutzung gibt und Lösungen vorstellen, wie diese überwunden werden können.

Evaluating Data Quality in Europeana: Metrics for Multilinguality

Juliane Stiller

Europeana.eu aggregates metadata describing more than 50 million cultural heritage objects from libraries, museums, archives and audiovisual archives across Europe. The need for quality of metadata is particularly motivated by its impact on user experience, information retrieval and data re-use in other contexts. One of the key goals of Europeana is to enable users to retrieve cultural heritage resources irrespective of their origin and the material's metadata language. The presence of multilingual metadata description is therefore essential to successful cross-language retrieval. Quantitatively determining Europeana's cross-lingual reach is a prerequisite for enhancing the quality of metadata in various languages.

Query Translation for Cross-lingual Search in the Academic Search Engine PubP...

Juliane Stiller

We describe a lexical resource-based process for query translation of a domain-specific and multilingual academic search engine in psychology, PubPsych. PubPsych queries are diverse in language with a high amount of informational queries and technical terminology. We present an approach for translating queries into English, German, French, and Spanish. We build a quadrilingual lexicon with aligned terms in the four languages using MeSH, Wikipedia and Apertium as our main resources. Our results show that using the quadlexicon together with some simple translation rules, we can automatically translate 85\% of translatable tokens in PubPsych queries with mean adequacy over all the translatable text of 1.4 when measured on a 3-point scale [0,1,2]. The presentation was given during the 12th Metadata and Semantics Research Conference in Limassol, Cyprus, October 24, 2018

Iconference 2018 stiller trkulja-digital literacy session-27-03

Juliane Stiller

This paper examines the digital skill level of refugee migrants in Germany while pursuing a job, a training position, or following an educational path on the Internet. For that, we conducted a lab experiment designing tasks with varying difficulty to position the digital competencies of refugee migrants on the digital skill scale. Problems with operational and formal skills were observed whereas fact-based information seeking was often successfully completed. The most complex tasks could not be completed by any participant. The study contributes to a better understanding of the varying degrees of digital skills of refugee migrants. Results can be used to design targeted courses and curricula that address digital deficits. Further training in this area will enable refugee migrants to benefit from the many opportunities that arise through the Internet and its services, improving their chances for labor market integration.

A Decade of Evaluating Europeana: Constructs, Contexts, Methods & Criteria

Juliane Stiller

This meta-analysis of 41 evaluation studies of the Europeana Digital Library categorizes them by their constructs, contexts, criteria, and methodologies using Saracevic’s digital library evaluation framework. The analysis shows that system-centered evaluations prevail over user-centered evaluations and evaluations from a societal or institutional perspective are missing. The study reveals, which Europeana components have received focused attention in the last decade (e.g. the metadata) and can serve as a reference for identifying gaps, selecting methodologies and re-using data for future evaluations.

Data Quality Assessment in Europeana: Metrics for Multilinguality

Juliane Stiller

This is the presentation from the (meta)-data quality workshop at TPDL 2017 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Europeana.eu aggregates metadata describing more than 55 million cultural heritage objects from libraries, museums, archives and audiovisual archives across Europe. Quality (and particularly multilingual quality) of metadata is crucial for enabling search and data re-use in digital libraries. Capturing multilingual aspects of the data requires us to take into account the full lifecycle of data aggregation including data enhancement processes such as data enrichment. Multilinguality cannot be captured as one measure, but needs to be considered as an intersection of several measures, bringing challenges when interpreting and visualising the results. This presentation presents an approach for capturing multilinguality as part of data quality dimensions, namely completeness, consistency and accessibility.
