The document discusses lessons learned from the Smithsonian Institution (SI) about using data management plans (DMPs) to meet internal data management needs. Specifically, it notes that SI requires DMPs at multiple levels, including for each museum/unit, intra- and extramural projects, and grant-funded research projects. It also emphasizes that DMPs should be living documents, have assessment potential, utilize APIs to share data, and be fluid enough to work in different locales. The overall lessons focus on applying a tiered, adaptable approach to DMPs tailored to an organization's unique structure and needs.

Dissertation as a document provides data on new knowledge, but also – encodes important scientometrical information. A study of social structure of science through data found in dissertations and theses provides bibliometrical data for study of national style of science. The pilot study, described below encourages the library community to improve their documentation in this area, in particular, the notation of supervisors and institutions within a bibliographical record. It is proposed that the CBD argue for stricter standards of library/archive record of dissertation.
Along with the dissertation data in the new IsisCB platform the social structure of the history of science community might be analysed. Scientometrical study of dissertation abstracts at a local level (ie., Lithuania) will provide a model for future studies of scholarly communication at global level.

The landscape of academic research has changed rapidly in the past decade, with access to high-performance networks, and the focus on data-intensive and interdisciplinary scholarship. Research libraries in North America are developing new services and programs aimed at meeting scholars’ needs for data-intensive, and interdisciplinary research support. Examples of some emerging programs include:
• Supporting digital research (graphical information systems, digital humanities, survey research methodologies, working with large datasets)
• Educating users about copyright and author rights
• Supporting content-creation and publishing activities in numerous ways: institutional repository to store and host works, establishing maker spaces, and developing infrastructure and workflows for more formal library-located publishing efforts
• Collaboration with research offices to educate researchers about federal mandates for open access publications and datasets
• Establishment of data management and archival resources
• Partnering with third-party vendors and with consortia to achieve scale-efficiencies and facilitate impact
• Development of researcher information management systems to support collaboration, discovery, and reporting
We present a case study of the development of a suite of new tools and services at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign within its newly established Office of Research to support digital scholarship and to provide sustained and broad access to research. We will also discuss the significant challenges and opportunities of library/campus partnerships for cyberinfrastructure and research support.

Results of a survey conducted by the Manitoba Library Associations Working Group, March 2012. Prepared for the Manitoba Libraries Conference, May 16, 2012.
This webinar will discuss the special needs of digital humanities researchers and help you learn how to talk them about their information management needs.
Topics that will be covered:
What is humanities data?
What special considerations are involved in creating DMPs for humanities data?
Where can you store humanities data?
What will humanities funding agencies be looking for? What regulations apply to humanities data (e.g., data sharing, data management, data availability)?
What librarians should know before meeting with a humanist; how humanists differ from other researchers in the way they think about their version of data.
This webinar is intended for librarians, staff, and information professionals interested in improving usability for the DMPTool in their institution. This webinar will also help institutions begin to formalize which individuals or resources will be available to help researchers using the tool. This webinar will be most useful for users that need to customize the tool for their institution.
Data “publication” attempts to appropriate for data the prestige of publication in the scholarly literature. While the scholarly communication community substantially endorses the idea, it hasn’t fully resolved what a data publication should look like or how data peer review should work. To contribute an important and neglected perspective on these issues, we surveyed ~250 researchers across the sciences and social sciences, asking what expectations “data publication” raises and what features would be useful to evaluate the trustworthiness and impact of a data publication and the contribution of its creator(s).
In early 2014, we asked science and social science researchers...
• What expectations do the terms publication and peer review raise in reference to data?
• What features would be useful to evaluate the trustworthiness, evaluate the impact, and enhance the prestige of a data publication?
Software development should build on the successful work of others. The DMPTool helps researchers with data management planning, but what about other phases of the data life cycle? In this webinar, we will discuss what software integration with the DMPTool might look like, and why it is important. Topics include:
1. Background: why tools integration is important; why we are talking about this in terms of the DMPTool.
2. Details and plans for DMPTool2 regarding software integration and compatibility.
3. Future possibilities for software integration for DMPTool2
4. Example of successful integration of tools: work at the Center for Open Science.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

6. Data management at SI
1. DAMPs for each museum/unit
2. DAMPs for intra- and extramural projects
3. DMPs for grant-funded research projects
through Office of Sponsored Research
SI has their own public access plan released last year, applies to journal articles and data
Mission to increase and diffuse knowledge throughout the world
-DMPTool is similar to DMPonline, separate tool developed to address specific funder requirements in the US
-primary use case also similar to DMPonline, individual researchers creating DMPs at partner institutions (180, mostly US unis)
DMPTool was developed by a team of founding partners: CDL, DCC, DataONE, University Libraries, Smithsonian (Sherry Lake from UVA is here)
V1 - 2011
V2 – 2014 added functionality, mostly thanks to SI use cases
-Smithsonian got involved from the outset because they were preparing themselves for institutional reqs; wanted a tool to facilitate this process
-Günter “I don’t believe in paper-pushing exercises”
-I thought it would be instructive to share some details about the SI use case – for the moment we’re all fixated on looking outward to funding agencies
-SI is looking inward at internal practices, management, self-assessment, arguably something we should all be doing more of and might be required to do in the future
Important numbers:
-19 museums, 9 research centers plus affiliated centers in Puerto Rico and Panama + zoo
-Mass digitization and 3D modeling program – goal to digitize all of the 138.1M objects (2M so far)
-people numbers at the bottom – required to track all of their data activities
Summary of the SI dashboard that presents interactive analytics – great example of transparency and openness
Also a tool for self-assessment, applications for analytics was a theme from Cliff Lynch’s summary yesterday
Follow Us on Our 40 day Odyssey to Digitize over 40,000 Bumble Bees from the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History's Entomology Dept's Bombus Collection!
Each unit at each museum has produced a DAMP “digital asset management plan” for daily tasks (e.g., mass digitization) in a Word template but this does not scale for project-based DMPs
-run conveyor belts, efficient process now running digitization at scale
-next you need a project-based DMP for both internal and externally funded projects making use of SI equipment and/or staff - this part hasn’t been rolled out yet because of complexity (U.S. Trust: private donations, Endowment, memberships, contracts and business income = hundreds of millions annually)
-need to administer DMPs within hierarchical organizational structure of SI - every museum would have DMP coordinator, this person would create statistics/annual reports, need to have access to data, living documents
-Office of Sponsored Projects: separate effort for external grants, someone there directs people to DMPTool ($161 million grants FY2015)
Principles from Dir 610 –
1 - Digital assets are publicly accessible
2 - Digital assets are valuable resources and future sustainability should be considered throughout their lifecycle
DMPTool Dashboard UI
Overview of plans I own or co-own and whether any are pending reviewer comments
DMPs for me to Review as an Admin
DMP Templates I’ve created for users at my institution, as well as public templates
Typical use case: describe
SI use cases responsible for review functionality, other functionality in admin interface thanks to clear requirements for V.2, institutional partners starting to leverage these features
Again for comparison:
NSF Earth Sciences template – typical scenario for funder template, 5 questions
Obligation: Optional
Contrast: SI project template – 9 sections with up to 8 questions for each
Obligation: Mandatory, If Applicable
Unfortunately, since V.2 release they’ve determined that they need (35) additional enhancements for the Admin interface, hierarchical structure, formatting templates and DMP content, and more robust data mining capabilities
DAMP/DMPs are living documents at the SI, day-to-day operations, lifecycle/stewardship of digital materials, reuse!
Data mining to make business decisions (e.g., IR, predict future needs), transparency and openness, analytics theme
Importance of API for interoperability with other systems, e.g. researcher profile management, passing info to funders, cannot be underestimated
Locales are not so neatly defined: nation, institution, etc
SI research involves multiple funding streams, languages, countries, institutions
have to think in terms of how research is actually done, build systems that support this to truly enable open science
