The document discusses curating and profiling linked data for educational applications. It describes the LinkedUp project, which aims to advance the use of open data and linked data technologies in education. The LinkedUp approach involves collecting and exposing open educational datasets, profiling the datasets to generate metadata, and linking datasets to create an "educational data graph." The profiling process extracts topic information from datasets by identifying entities, normalizing categories, and computing relevance scores to generate structured dataset profiles. This facilitates browsing, exploring, and querying across educational linked datasets.
- Scientific names for species can change over time as taxonomy knowledge evolves
- An event-centric ontology model represents names and changes through time using different URIs for taxon concepts at different times
- Transition and snapshot models can then simplify the descriptions by linking concepts over time or just showing current names
- This approach allows integrated representation of taxonomy knowledge and its revisions in a computable way

Knowledge – dynamics – landscape - navigation – what have interfaces to digit...Andrea Scharnhorst
When we google, search Wikipedia, and share information on Mendeley, we obviously deal with complex networks of information. But also traditional information spaces – the collections of libraries for instance – and their classification systems are evolving complex systems. This talk explores the possibilities to use concepts and methods from statistical physics to analyze information dynamics. We depart from information dynamics in scholarly communication, and point to current encounters between physics and scientometrics. We discuss more in-depth the evolution of category systems in libraries (Universal Decimal Classification) in comparison to on-line spaces (Wikipedia). The talk closes with an introduction into a new European network – the COST Action KnowEscape – in which information professionals, sociologists, computer scientists, physicists and digital humanities scholars in an unique alliance seek for knowledge maps to better navigate through large information spaces.

The Inter-university Upper Atmosphere Global Observation NETwork (IUGONET) is a six-year Japanese project running from 2009-2014 involving five universities to build a metadata database of ground-based observational data of the upper atmosphere. The database will provide researchers access to various radar, magnetometer, and other observational data collected across different institutions to facilitate new cross-disciplinary analysis. The project is also developing data analysis software to help researchers download, visualize, and analyze the data.
Data Science is an interdisciplinary approach that combines computational science, statistics, and domain knowledge to extract meaningful insights from large and complex data. It aims to address challenges posed by the data revolution characterized by big data from diverse sources. There is no single agreed upon definition, but most definitions emphasize applying techniques from computer science, statistics, and the relevant domain area to discover patterns, make predictions, and support decision making from data. Key aspects include developing appropriate methodologies for knowledge discovery, forecasting and decisions using large and diverse data from sources like surveys, social media, sensors and more. The integration of domain knowledge representation with computational and statistical tools is seen as an important novelty that can enhance data analysis and interpretation.
Scott Edmunds slides for class 8 from the HKU Data Curation (module MLIM7350 from the Faculty of Education) course covering science data, medical data and ethics, and the FAIR data principles.
This document discusses open access and open data from the perspective of a funder. It provides an overview of progress in the UK towards open access policies by research councils, universities, and funders. It also discusses the development of open access repositories and journals. For open data, it outlines benefits and drivers, as well as challenges researchers face in sharing data due to lack of incentives and resources. Further work is needed to provide guidance, integrate repositories, and promote strategic debate around open data policies and infrastructure.
There has long been a view that the outputs of publicly funded research should be publicly available. By this was meant research papers and findings, and it was not felt that publication in journals and monographs that were virtually unavailable at reasonable cost outside universities fully met this need. Open Access is not an attack on peer review or the scholarly publishing industry (although there are real concerns about escalating costs which can no longer be afforded by many universities).
The move to open data is driven by more complex arguments bound up by the need to be more open in demonstrating the uncertain nature of many scientific findings, and the need to manage research data more professionally, yet ensure sensitive or commercially valuable data can be kept secure.
This talk will explain the synergies and ambiguities between open policies and the individual drivers for career researchers and those of universities seeking to balance their responsibilities to society with commercial considerations.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
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).

3. Why “DATA” now?
改めて、「いま、なぜ、データか?」
• Science and Society
– Role of Science and Scientists in Society
近年、社会と科学者の関わりが問われて
いる
• Sharing data and information
as part of "Science”
科学技術活動の一部としての
「データ(または情報)の共有」
4. Why Open Data, Open Access?
Important are:
science today made of the conventional
method+ communication (sharing info.).
open discussion and re‐examination by third
party.
Reuse of information resources
The mutual trust between Science and Society
Scientists,
Community,
Society

6. Value of Data
• Proof/evidence of scientific finding and
understanding (as of original scholarly
paper)
– Data should be shared with everyone
for proof and discussion.
• Resource for research and innovation
– “I don’t want to share my data (my
property) with other scientists”

12. “Data Publication” and “Data Citation”
[Society of Geomagnetism, Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences, 2013]
12
■ Data Publications
cf. journal publication: review, fix (print), publish with DOI…, metrics (citation
index etc.)
■ Data Citation
–ID of dataset (“DOI” is OK?), citation standards? metrics?…
■ More outputs from scientists to Society
13. Toward Data Intensive Science

16. Steps by Major scientific publishers
encouraging data deposition
• Willey/AGU publication policy:
”…in AGU’s journals, all data necessary to understand, evaluate,
replicate, and build upon the reported research must be made
available and accessible whenever possible…”
• SpringerOpen/”Earth, Planets and Space”, “Geoscience Letters”…
“…Electronic archiving of data enables readers to replicate, verify
and build upon the conclusions published in papers in the journal.
It is recommended that all data which are not directly attached to
a publication as electronic supplementary files be deposited…”
• Elsevier/JASTP:
“…Elsevier encourages authors to deposit raw experimental data
sets underpinning their research publication in data repositories,
and to enable interlinking of articles and data…”
