Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...Jisc
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.
Information technology and resources are an integral and indispensable part of the contemporary academic enterprise. In particular, technological advances have nurtured a new paradigm of data-intensive research. However, far too much of this activity still takes place in silos, to the detriment of open scholarly inquiry, integrity, and advancement. To counteract this tendency, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has been developing and deploying a comprehensive suite of curation services that facilitate widespread data management, preservation, publication, sharing, and reuse. Through these services UC3 is engaging with new communities of use: in addition to its traditional stakeholders in cultural heritage memory organizations, e.g., libraries, museums, and archives, the UC3 service suite is now attracting significant adoption by research projects, laboratories, and individual faculty researchers. This webinar will present an introduction to five specific services – DMPTool, DataUp, EZID, Merritt, Web Archiving Service (WAS) – applicable to data curation throughout the scholarly lifecycle, two recent initiatives in collaboration with UC campuses, UC Berkeley Research Hub and UC San Francisco DataShare, and the ways in which they encourage and promote new communities of practice and greater transparency in scholarly research.
This slide shows the set of task groups established under the aegis of the RDA/NISO Privacy Implications of Research Data Sets Interest Group; it was used during the NISO Symposium held on September 11, 2016 in conjunction with International Data Week events in Denver, Colorado.
Presentation given at the European Research Council workshop on research data management and sharing in Brussels on 18th-19th September 2014. The presentation covers the benefits and drivers for RDM, points to relevant tools and resources and closes with some open questions for discussion.
Libraries and Research Data Management – What Works? Lessons Learned from the...LIBER Europe
This presentation by Dr Birgit Schmidt was given at the Scholarly Communication and Research Infrastructures Steering Committee Workshop. The workshop title was Libraries and Research Data Management – What Works?
The goal of the Very Open Data Project is to provide a software-technical foundation for this exchange of data, more specifically to provide an open database platform for data from the raw data coming from experimental measurements or models through intermediate manipulations to finally published results. The sheer expanse of the amount data involved creates some unique software-technical challenges. One of these challenges is addressed in the part of the study presented here, namely to characterize scientific data (with the initial focus being detailed chemistry data from the combustion kinetic community), so that efficient searches can be made. A formalization of this characterization comes in the form of schemas of descriptions of tags and keywords describing data and ontologies describing the relationship between data types and the relationship between the characterizations themselves. These will be translated to meta-data tags connected to the data points within a non-relational data of data for the community.
The focus of the initial work will be on data and its accessibility. As the project progresses, the emphasis will shift on not only having available data accessible for the community, but that the community itself will be able to, with emphasis on minimal effort, will be able contribute their own data. This will involve, for example, the concepts of the ‘electronic lab notebook’ and the existence and availability of extensive concept extraction tools, primarily from the chemical informatics field.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
