Scholarly Communications Presentation
This document summarizes scholarly communication and e-journals. It defines scholarly communication as the process by which academic content is generated, reviewed, disseminated and built upon. E-journals are described as journals available electronically over the internet or on CD-ROM. The benefits of e-journals include speed of publication and distribution, unlimited access, portability, and ability to link to other resources. E-journals are now overtaking print journals due to factors like cost reductions and user expectations changing with technology. However, issues still include the exponential rise in prices of some journals and licensing restrictions on electronic access.

Electronic Resource Management in the library
The arrival and enormous growth rate of digital contents have fundamentally changed the way in which content is made available to library users. In the recent years, libraries are acquiring more and more electronic resources (e-resources) because of perceived benefits, such as easy access to information and its comprehensiveness. Due to the influx of e-resources in libraries, the collection, acquisition, and maintenance of these resources have become complicated issues to deal with. This has forced libraries to devise strategies to manage and deliver e-resources conveniently. Therefore, “Management of E-resources” or “Electronic Resource Management” (ERM) has become a challenge for library professionals that needs to be addressed through research and practice. To meet these challenges, library professionals and content providers have decided to develop ‘Electronic Resource Management System’ (ERMS) for management of e-resources in a more systematic way.

RO-Crate: packaging metadata love notes into FAIR Digital Objects
Abstract
slides available at: https://zenodo.org/record/7147703#.Y7agoxXP2F4
The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration aims to make the research data [and software] produced by Helmholtz Centres FAIR for their own and the wider science community by means of metadata enrichment [1]. Why metadata enrichment and why FAIR? Because the whole scientific enterprise depends on a cycle of finding, exchanging, understanding, validating, reproducing), integrating and reusing research entities across a dispersed community of researchers.
Metadata is not just “a love note to the future” [2], it is a love note to today’s collaborators and peers. Moreover, a FAIR Commons must cater for the metadata of all the entities of research – data, software, workflows, protocols, instruments, geo-spatial locations, specimens, samples, people (well as traditional articles) – and their interconnectivity. That is a lot of metadata love notes to manage, bundle up and move around. Notes written in different languages at different times by different folks, produced and hosted by different platforms, yet referring to each other, and building an integrated picture of a multi-part and multi-party investigation. We need a crate!
RO-Crate [3] is an open, community-driven, and lightweight approach to packaging research entities along with their metadata in a machine-readable manner. Following key principles - “just enough” and “developer and legacy friendliness - RO-Crate simplifies the process of making research outputs FAIR while also enhancing research reproducibility and citability. As a self-describing and unbounded “metadata middleware” framework RO-Crate shows that a little bit of packaging goes a long way to realise the goals of FAIR Digital Objects (FDO)[4], and to not just overcome platform diversity but celebrate it while retaining investigation contextual integrity.
In this talk I will present the why, and how Research Object packaging eases Metadata Collaboration using examples in big data and mixed object exchange, mixed object archiving and publishing, mass citation, and reproducibility. Some examples come from the HMC, others from EOSC, USA and Australia, and from different disciplines.
Metadata is a love note to the future, RO-Crate is the delivery package.

Semantic Mapping in CLARIN Component Metadata.
The document discusses semantic mapping in CLARIN Component Metadata Infrastructure (CMDI). CMDI allows flexible yet semantically interoperable metadata descriptions through the use of explicit schemas and semantic registries like ISOcat and RelationRegistry. These registries define concepts and relationships that can be shared across metadata profiles and elements. Semantic mapping helps achieve recall and disambiguation in metadata searches across the diverse set of CMDI profiles and components.
CDISC2RDF overview with examples
CDISC2RDF started as a cross-industry project to demonstrate Semantic Web standards and Linked Data principles, and is now part of several working groups focusing on semantic interoperability for clinical research and patient safety. It transforms CDISC standards documentation from human-readable formats like PDFs and Excel into machine-processable linked data using RDF triples, uniquely identifying each part of the standards and linking related parts to each other. The RDF triples can then be serialized into formats like XML, JSON, and CSV.

A Distributed Audio Personalization Framework over Android
This paper presents an audio personalization framework for mobile devices. The multimedia
models MPEG-21 and MPEG-7 are used to describe metadata information. The metadata which support personalization are stored into each device. The Web Ontology Language (OWL) language is used to produce and manipulate the relative ontological descriptions. The process is distributed according to the MapReduce framework and implemented over the Android platform. It determines a hierarchical system structure consisted of Master and Worker devices. The Master retrieves a list of audio tracks matching specific criteria using SPARQL queries.

Metadata and Terminology Registries
The document discusses different types of registries including metadata registries, terminology registries, and service registries. It describes their purposes, functions, examples, and how they can be integrated. Registries are used to store and manage metadata, concepts, terms, vocabularies, and descriptions of available services. They provide functions like registration, publication, search, and machine-to-machine services. The document examines similarities and differences between registry types and open questions about how best to organize registry domains and capabilities.

The document discusses metadata schemas and standards for digital library projects in China. It describes several existing metadata schemes including the General Format for Digitalized Chinese Full-text (GFDCF), the CPDLP Metadata Profiles, and the Chinese Metadata Specifications (CMS). It also discusses applying ontologies to build a unified metadata framework, including ontologies of Chinese information resources and bibliographic relations. This would help address issues of lack of unified semantics, mappings between schemas, and diversification in the Chinese metadata landscape.Similar to Networked Digital Library Of Theses And Dissertations (20)

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
