Abstract: Ensuring persistent access to digital content is a challenge confronting contemporary institutions of all types and sizes, regardless of professional, disciplinary or organizational context. Introduced in 2002, the term digital curation describes an array of principles, strategies and technical approaches for enabling the use and re-use of reliable and trusted digital content into the indefinite future. Trusted digital repositories have emerged as one strategy in response to today's digital curatorial challenges. Successful digital repository development and deployment necessitates coordination and collaboration among an array of actors, resources, and diverse, potentially divergent requirements. The literature contains an assortment of digital repository planning and best practice recommendations and resources, though reports on actual, as opposed to perceived or potential, roadblocks and obstacles are less reported. Drawing from a first-hand account of an extensive, multi-year digital curation and repository project at a major research university, this presentation provides an overview of what was done, including what worked and what didn’t, and resulting recommendations for advancing digital repository planning, implementation, and research.

2010 EGITF Amsterdam - Gap between GRID and HumanitiesDirk Roorda
The document discusses the potential role of grid computing technologies in supporting humanities research. It outlines several European research infrastructure projects that aim to apply such technologies, including CLARIN, DARIAH, CESSDA and SHARE. While these projects initially saw grid as enabling workflows and sustainable tools/data, they found the technology required significant customization and expertise. The document argues that humanities research involves small, linked data analyzed through both automated and human-guided methods. It proposes that "virtual use cases" outlining generic, infrastructure-level tasks could help bridge the gap between such research and complex technologies like the grid.
Institutional repositories are digital collections that preserve and provide access to a university's research output. They allow for long-term preservation of works and open access to scholarly articles, data, and other materials. Content is ingested through a submission process, preserved in a bitstream format, and disseminated through search and browsing. Institutional repositories differ from traditional databases in their use of bitstream storage and workflows. Common repository software includes DSpace and EPrints, which provide features like metadata collection, document archiving, and usage statistics. However, challenges exist in gaining contributor support and addressing intellectual property issues.
The Digital Curation Centre was created to help build skills and capabilities around research data management in UK higher education by providing support and guidance to address challenges that individual institutions cannot tackle alone. The document discusses why managing research data has become important due to factors like large datasets, funder requirements, and the need for open science. It also examines some of the challenges around issues like scale, infrastructure needs, policies, and developing skills and incentives around data management.
Digital libraries offer a knowledge base that can be accessed online, overcoming geographical barriers. They support functions like document preservation, database management, information retrieval, and dissemination. Major digital library projects include those in the US funded by NSF, ARPA, and NASA involving 6 universities, and 35 Elib projects in the UK. In India, the IISc digital library was a pioneer, accessible online and containing publications and theses. However, issues around copyright, data protection, and sustainability must still be addressed before digital libraries fully replace conventional libraries.

27. Semantic Web(Linked Open Data)
• What Dibrary (NLK) can do to open its library data?
Converting national bibliographic data, subject and author
authority files into linked data and let anyone to use them
via the Web.
• What will be benefits of NLK LD?
Merging NLK Linked Data with other LLD so new associations
of knowledge can be made.

28. "The Semantic Web is an extension of
the current web in which information is
given well-defined meaning, better
enabling computers and people to work in
cooperation."
Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila,
The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001
30. Linked Data Principles
1. Use URIs as names for things.
2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.
3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful RDF
information.
4. Include RDF statements that link to other URIs so that they
can discover related things.
Tim Berners-Lee 2007
http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
31. The RDF Data Model
rdf:type
pd:cygri foaf:Person
foaf:name
Richard Cyganiak
foaf:based_near
dbpedia:Berlin
32. Data items are identified with HTTP URIs
rdf:type
pd:cygri foaf:Person
foaf:name
Richard Cyganiak
foaf:based_near
dbpedia:Berlin
pd:cygri = http://richard.cyganiak.de/foaf.rdf#cygri
dbpedia:Berlin = http://dbpedia.org/resource/Berlin
33. Resolving URIs over the Web
rdf:type
pd:cygri foaf:Person
foaf:name 3.405.259
Richard Cyganiak dp:population
foaf:based_near
dbpedia:Berlin
skos:subject
dp:Cities_in_Germany
34. Dereferencing URIs over the Web
rdf:type
pd:cygri foaf:Person
foaf:name 3.405.259
Richard Cyganiak dp:population
foaf:based_near
dbpedia:Berlin
skos:subject
skos:subject
dbpedia:Hamburg dp:Cities_in_Germany
skos:subject
dbpedia:Muenchen
37. W3C Linking Open Data (LOD) Project
• Grassroots community effort to
– publish existing open license datasets as Linked Data on the Web
– interlink things between different data sources
38. LOD Datasets on the Web: May 2007
Over 500 million RDF triples
Around 120,000 RDF links between data sources
39. Example RDF Links
• RDF links from DBpedia to other data sources
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Berlin> owl:sameAs <http://sws.geonames.org/29501
59> .
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tim_Berners-Lee> owl:sameAs <http://www4.wiwis
s.fu-berlin.de/dblp/resource/person/100007> .
45. The Principles of Linked Data (Revisited)
• What kind of library data are suitable for these principles?
– Those that are frequently referenced and updated by librarians,
in relation to their works or within the information process
system
– Those that provide users with links as other references (links)
in relation to more accurate search results
– Those that are meaningful in themselves and are independently
capable of being referenced by other organizations/systems
– Those that have values capable of being recognized as unique
information via URI
44
46. The Principles of Linked Data (Revisited)
• Data owned by libraries:
– Bibliographic data
– Holdings records
– Authority records
• Authors, Titles, Subject Headings
• Those being endlessly referenced and updated by librarians, in relations to their works,
or within the information process system
• Those providing links as other references (links) in relations to the more accurate
search results to users
• Those that are meaningful themselves and independent ones capable of being
referenced by other organizations/systems
• Those capable of being recognized with their values as unique information through
URI

47. LLD is about the Links
Books
– http://worldcat.org/oclc/123456
Classification numbers
– http://dewey.info/class/641/about
People
– http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679
Subject headings
– http://tspilot.oclc.org/fast/fst01234567
48. LLD is about the Openness
• What sort of license is the data available in?
49. LLD is about the Data
<rdf:RDF>
<rdf:Description

50. URIs for Dewey System
It should be simple:
http://dewey.info/class/641/
Browsers get redirected to:
http://dewey.info/class/641/about
RDF clients get redirected to:
http://dewey.info/class/641/about.rdf
51. But the DDC has a long complex history
What language did you want?
http://dewey.info/class/641/about.en
http://dewey.info/class/641/about.fr
What edition did you want?
http://dewey.info/class/641/e22/about
http://dewey.info/class/641/e23/about
In what language?
http://dewey.info/class/641/e22/about.en
In what format?
http://dewey.info/class/641/e22/about.en.html
http://dewey.info/class/641/e22/about.en.rdf
52. URIs for Virtual International Authority File: VIAF
It is blissfully simple compared to Dewey!
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679
Generates a 303 redirect to:
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/
Where content negotiation will get you either:
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/viaf.html
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/viaf.xml
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/viaf.rss
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/viaf.rdf
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/marc21.xml
http://viaf.org/viaf/12345679/unimarc.xml
60. Smart Data and its Potentials
• Implications of Linked Data and Users
– Importance of making data smarter
• Libraries provide countless amounts of information and media
• Libraries need to be a trustworthy entity
• Libraries must be placed where permanent access to and preservation
of data are guaranteed
• Libraries should remain faithful to their most basic and natural role
– Providing users with diverse solutions to problems
• How do users think and solve problems?
• Is it possible to create a system configuration (interface configuration)
to assist users’ problem-solving process?
59
61. NLK LLD Strategy
• The first priority is opening NLK data
– Basically NLK data is a public data that should be open to anyone.
– The NLK must be open and easily accessible to others
• Try hard to use global standard formats when opening NLK
data
– Recommend to respect linked data principles when opening
• Contribute to information ecosystem.
– The Web is most general and accessible platform and ecosystem.
Contribute to the Web.
• Think more about contributing to the global database (Web)
rather than what NLK will gain from this endeavor.
– The NLK focus should be on providing the world with new
opportunities derived from the live NLK linked data, instead of
thinking about what NLK will gain by opening its data
