Starting in 2023, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) will require institutes and researchers receiving funding to include a Data Management Plan (DMP) in their grant applications, including the making their data publicly available. Similar mandates are already in place in Europe, for example a DMP is mandatory in Horizon Europe projects involving data.
Policy is one thing - practice is quite another. How do we provide the necessary information, guidance and advice for our bioscientists, researchers, data stewards and project managers? There are numerous repositories and standards. Which is best? What are the challenges at each step of the data lifecycle? How should different types of data? What tools are available? Research Data Management advice is often too general to be useful and specific information is fragmented and hard to find.
ELIXIR, the pan-national European Research Infrastructure for Life Science data, aims to enable research projects to operate “FAIR data first”. ELIXIR supports researchers across their whole RDM lifecycle, navigating the complexity of a data ecosystem that bridges from local cyberinfrastructures to pan-national archives and across bio-domains.
The ELIXIR RDMkit (https://rdmkit.elixir-europe.org (link is external)) is a toolkit built by the biosciences community, for the biosciences community to provide the RDM information they need. It is a framework for advice and best practice for RDM and acts as a hub of RDM information, with links to tool registries, training materials, standards, and databases, and to services that offer deeper knowledge for DMP planning and FAIR-ification practices.
Launched in March 2021, over 120 contributors have provided nearly 100 pages of content and links to more than 300 tools. Content covers the data lifecycle and specialized domains in biology, national considerations and examples of “tool assemblies” developed to support RDM. It has been accessed by over 123 countries, and the top of the access list is … the United States.
The RDMkit is already a recommended resource of the European Commission. The platform, editorial, and contributor methods helped build a specialized sister toolkit for infectious diseases as part of the recently launched BY-COVID project. The toolkit’s platform is the simplest we could manage - built on plain GitHub - and the whole development and contribution approach tailored to be as lightweight and sustainable as possible.
In this talk, Carole and Frederik will present the RDMkit; aims and context, content, community management, how folks can contribute, and our future plans and potential prospects for trans-Atlantic cooperation.
Data policy must be partnered with data practice. Our researchers need to be the best informed in order to meet these new data management and data sharing mandates.
The document provides an introduction to open science and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). It discusses the concepts of open access, open data, open methods, and FAIR data principles. It describes the EOSC as a federation of research infrastructures and services that aims to enable multidisciplinary discovery and use. Key benefits of the EOSC for researchers include access to more services, funding for compute resources, easier discovery of related data, and greater collaboration abilities.
OpenAthens Conference 2018 - Catherine Micklethwaite - Case study - NHSOpenAthens
The document discusses research conducted by Catherine Micklethwaite on the future of resource discovery in the NHS. It finds that currently NHS libraries use a variety of library management systems, with over 20 different systems in use. Some libraries have discovery systems to search resources. The research aims to understand what systems are wanted for the future, including easy searching, seamless access to resources, and a national inter-library loan system. Realizing these goals faces challenges regarding authentication, getting all NHS libraries to agree to share data and systems, and the financial costs of implementing new national systems.

The document discusses improving the user experience for accessing online resources through federated authentication. It notes that login can be a barrier and libraries try to improve discovery. The OpenAthens redirector provides a single sign-on link structure to check location and authenticate users. Personalization across platforms is now possible through federated access without compromising privacy. The RA21 initiative aims to facilitate seamless access across devices and locations through alternatives to IP authentication using existing federated technologies. Improving the organization discovery experience, providing personalization linked to login, and account linking features can enhance the user experience.

This document discusses research data management and support available from Jisc and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC). It provides background on policy drivers for research data management, outlines support offered by the DCC including capability studies, data management planning tools, and training. It also summarizes results from a 2014 survey of UK higher education institutions which found most progress in policy development and plans, but challenges around staffing, funding, and engagement of researchers. The document concludes with feedback on future priorities such as compelling services, engaging researchers, and shared infrastructure solutions.
"Building Capacity for Open Research" - AAMCKaitlin Thaney
This document discusses challenges with the current state of scientific research and proposes approaches to shift towards more open and reproducible practices. It notes that current systems are designed to create friction and rewards the wrong behaviors. To address this, it advocates taking a multi-faceted approach including improving infrastructure for open tools, standards, best practices, incentives and recognition, training, and policies. Key steps proposed are baking reproducible practices into academia, creating opportunities for experimentation and cross-disciplinary work, and rethinking how researchers are rewarded to support more open science.

While many librarians have developed mechanisms and
structures for managing local scholarship separate from
their standard resource management practices, the
intersection of the two content streams is occurring at
many institutions. During the past decade the presenters
have dedicated themselves to capturing best practices
of electronic resource management and mapping out
paths for creating open access workflows. Join them for a
lively discussion and interactive session where they outline
ways to bring these two initiatives together and identify the
teams needed.

Organization identifiers are a key part of the scholarly
communications infrastructure. At the beginning of 2017
Crossref, DataCite and ORCID formed a working group to
establish principles and specifications for an open, independent, non-profit identifier registry focused on the disambiguation of researcher affiliations. The group published a set of recommendations and a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit comment and interest from the broader scholarly community in developing the registry. This session will give an overview of the work and an update on current progress.
Linked Data Love: research representation, discovery, and assessment
#ALAAC15
The explosion of linked data platforms and data stores over the last five years has been profound – both in terms of quantity of data as well as its potential impact. Research information systems such as VIVO (www.vivoweb.org) play a significant role in enabling this work. VIVO is an open source, Semantic Web-based application that provides an integrated, searchable view of the scholarly activities of an organization. The uniform semantic structure of VIVO-ISF data enables a new class of tools to advance science. This presentation will provide a brief introduction and update to VIVO and present ways that this semantically-rich data can enable visualizations, reporting and assessment, next-generation collaboration and team building, and enhanced multi-site search. Libraries are uniquely positioned to facilitate the open representation of research information and its subsequent use to spur collaboration, discovery, and assessment. The talk will conclude with a description of ways librarians are engaged in this work – including visioning, metadata and ontology creation, policy creation, data curation and management, technical, and engagement activities.

About the Webinar
The development and rising popularity of the massive open online course (MOOC) presents a new opportunity for libraries to be involved in the education of patrons, to highlight the resources libraries provide and to further demonstrate the value of the library to administrators. There are, of course, a host of logistics to be considered when deciding to organize or support a MOOC. Diminished library budgets and staffing levels challenge libraries both monetarily and administratively. Marketing the course, mounting it on a site, securing copyright permissions and negotiating licensing for course materials, managing the course while in progress and troubleshooting technical problems add to the issues that have caused some libraries to hesitate in joining the MOOC movement. On the other hand, partnerships such as that between Georgetown University and edX, itself an initiative of Harvard and MIT, allow a pooling of resources thereby easing the burden on any one library. In some cases price breaks for certain course materials used in MOOCs can help draw students to the course, though the pricing must still be negotiated by the course organizer. A successful MOOC, such as the RootsMOOC, created by the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University and the State Library of North Carolina, can bring awareness of library resources to a broad audience.
In the end, libraries must ask whether the advantages of participating in a MOOC outweigh the challenges. The speakers for this webinar will consider these issues surrounding MOOCs and libraries and try to answer the question of whether the impact of libraries on MOOCs has been realized or is still brewing.

The document summarizes how FAIRsharing assists others with promoting FAIR data principles without directly assessing FAIRness compliance. It does this by (1) providing a lookup service for standards and repositories via its API, (2) serving as a registry for FAIRness tests and indicators to make them discoverable, and (3) enabling communities to create profiles declaring which standards and repositories they use. The document also outlines FAIRsharing's operations, advisory boards, and future plans to further support assessment and tracking of FAIRness improvements over time.

The New Dimensions in Scholcomm: How a global scholarly community collaborati...NASIG
Digital Science and 100+ global research institutions have spent the better part of the last two years collaborating to solve three distinct challenges in the existing research landscape:
* Research evaluation focuses almost exclusively on publications and citations data
* Research evaluation tools are siloed in proprietary applications that rarely speak to each other
* The gaps amongst proprietary data sources made generating a complete picture of impact extremely difficult (and expensive)
The goal of this collaboration amongst publishers, funders, research administrators, libraries, and Digital Science was to transform the research landscape by attempting to solve the problems resulting from expensive, siloed data research evaluation data.
This document discusses various topics related to internet research, including:
- Current areas of technological research on the internet like mobile computing and the semantic web.
- Literature review strategies using online resources.
- Research methods that can be used for internet-based studies.
- Legal and ethical considerations around internet research involving topics like informed consent, anonymity, and intellectual property rights.
- Responsibilities of ethical researchers to avoid harming participants and behave with integrity.
NISO (a non-profit standards organization) is working on several projects related to scholarly information including recommended practices around access and license indicators, open discovery initiatives, journal transfers between publishers, and altmetrics standards. The presentation provides an overview of NISO's mission and processes for developing standards as well as details on the specific projects. Membership in working groups for each project involves representatives from libraries, publishers, and other organizations.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

RA21 – Highly Collaborative Industry Initiative
3. Community calls for change are growing
“…our shared systems for authentication are out of
step in today’s information economy
and reinvented access controls are in immediate
need of our collective attention.”
“I counted more than a dozen talks on link
resolvers, RA21, open access and other sales
models. While proxy services and IP-based
certification still rules the day, the buzz of the
conference was pointing to a brave new future in
access controls.”
3
“Every researcher is entitled to focus on
their work and not be impeded by
needless obstacles nor required to
understand anything about the FIM
infrastructure enabling their access to
research services. The
recommendations … highlight well-
established practices … whose
widespread adoption would represent a
huge boost to usability of federated
access mechanisms by users engaged
in collaborative research activities.”

4. No comprehensive solution exists
4
• Robust marketplace for “Access
Brokers” has emerged in recent
years.
Campus Activated
Subscriber Access
(CASA)
• But these are all imperfect
solutions:
– Often have to be paid for as add-on services
– Must be installed or configured by end users prior
to starting a research discovery journey. Must be
installed on all devices under the user’s control.
– Not based on industry standard authentication
technologies
– Typically require creation of individual user
accounts, potentially compromising privacy.
– May capture and store a copy of the user’s
institutional credentials, potentially creating a
security risk.
5. Surely there is a better way…
Access to scholarly content, especially off-network, needs to be fixed
• Federated authentication using SAML (“Shibboleth”) solves most of
the problem
– Multilateral trust
– Mature technology
– Widely deployed and supported by scholarly information providers
– Widely adopted and deployed by academic institutions
– Widely deployed by corporate customers
5
6. But Poor User Experience = Low Adoption
Even though Shibboleth has
been supported by most
publishers for off-network
access for years, uptake is
very low because the user
experience is quite poor.
RA21 will dramatically
improve that user
experience.

7. RA21 UX Building Blocks
7
Consistent visual cue
and call to action signals
institutional access
Flexible and smart search
• Search by institution name,
abbreviation or email
• Typeahead matching and URL
Remembered institution
on next access1 2 3
8. RA21 UX Goals
8
A user only encounters a
discovery process once
(per browser).
The user’s institution is persisted
in browser local storage and
subsequently rendered in the
RA21 button across all
participating publishers.
1 2
9. Repositioning “Access”
• Common criticism of RA21 (esp.
academic library community) is
that Open Access makes RA21
irrelevant
• Making a purposeful shift in our
messaging:
– Away from RA21 as sustaining
publisher paywalls
– Toward RA21 as providing seamless
access to institutionally-provided
resources of all kinds
– Meeting researcher demands to
remove access hassles (FIM4R
whitepaper)
RA21 can confirm “access”
to institutional discounts
for paying APCs
RA21 could even facilitate
“access” to Apple’s student
discounts
RA21 can facilitate “access”
to research infrastructure

13. Key Recommendations
1. Adopt Multilateral Federated Authentication
2. Establish Multilateral Identity Federations where they do not exist
3. Ensure that Privacy is Preserved while Enabling Convenient SSO and
Granular Authorization
4. Improve the User Experience of Identity Provider Discovery
5. Establish a Central Identity Provider Persistence Service
6. Improve [SAML] Metadata Quality and Apply Consistent Standards
7. Set Session Timeout Periods Contextually Based on the Type of
Being Accessed and Institutional Risk Management Policy

20. Library expectations of privacy
Librarians have an ethical, and
sometimes a legal duty to protect the
privacy of the users that they serve,
regardless of whether that user cares
about it
• Data gathering should be minimal, and
as anonymous as possible.
• Informed consent, if done appropriately,
can mitigate these issues
• GDPR has only expanded awareness of
privacy
Preference for current solutions is
often based on organizational rather
than technical concerns
• Controlling the proxy, means controlling
the data and the services. Passing that to
IT could be scary.
• Integration of RA21 into existing
technology services stack will help.
21. SAML: Privacy Protecting or Not?
• Proxy servers protect the user’s identity by masking the underlying
authentication mechanism behind a unique network address
It is NOT the case that the proxy doesn’t know who the user is.
– The proxy user logs contain information about who is doing what
• SAML can do the same thing, through different means – the use of
entitlement attributes, and, if desired, psuedononymous IDs
• SAML is flexible and has a variety of use cases: We need to develop a SAML
profile (norm) for the use case of access to library information resources
and meets the privacy expectations of librarians and researchers
22. Attribute Release and Privacy Recommendations
22
Establish attribute release profile for
library information resources
• Assert that the user is a member of the
institution’s authorized user community
for the resources being accessed using an
anonymous attribute.
• Enable SSO to any personalized features
the resource may offer using institutional
credentials via a pseudonymous pairwise
user identifier.
Institutions control data attribute release.
Adopt GÉANT Data Protection
Code of Conduct
Developed by identity management
community and institutional
representatives.
Enshrines principles of
• Legal compliance
• Purpose limitation
• Legal compliance

23. The IT reality for most libraries!
• In academia, IT and identity management is not run out of the
library and doesn’t often report through the same structures
• IT may establish attribute release policies and other norms
that are not always in keeping with library values, especially
privacy
24. Interactions between library and campus IT must improve
Amy Pawlowski and Mark Beadles (OhioLink) Authentication and Access of Licensed
Content in Ohio: A Summary
25. RA21 will require greater interactions
between libraries and IT
And this should be viewed as a good thing.
26. RA21 and the future of authentication
The SAML infrastructure that RA21 is built upon is well-
established, widely deployed, and proven to be secure
Institutions have years of experience working with it
SAML can effectively preserve privacy through the use
of entitlement attributes and pseudonymous IDs
29. Proposal: Coalition will jointly take project forward
under a lightweight structure

30. Coalition for Seamless Access:
Draft mission/purpose statement
The Coalition for Seamless Access exists to foster a seamless
experience when using scholarly collaboration tools,
information resources, and shared research infrastructure. The
Coalition promotes digital authentication leveraging an existing
single-sign-on infrastructure through one’s home institution,
while maintain an environment that protects personal data and
privacy. The Coalition aims to enable simple, trusted use of
scholarly resources and services anytime, anywhere, and on any
device.

31. RA21/Seamless Access: Roadmap and Timeline
31
Through Q2 2019
• NISO
Recommended
Practice public
review process
• NISO RP
Publication
• Establish
governance
structure for
coalition
Second half
2019
• Enable the
service; launch
Beta Phase
• Early adopters
begin to deploy
RA21
recommended
practices
Mid-late 2020
• Transition
towards Post Beta
- expand
participation (SPs,
IdPs, Fed Ops)
• Expand
applications
beyond scholarly
resources
32. Seamless Access Beta Phase
• Commencing mid-2019, duration 6-12 months
• Goals:
– Test feasibility and strength of coalition.
– Implement production-quality, production-scale services
• Including support from publisher platform providers
– Encourage broad adoption of NISO Recommended Practices
• Early adopters across multiple use cases
• Implementation testing and reporting against success criteria
• End-user testing via coordination from libraries and publishers
– Research to:
• Confirm value to users and adopters
• Identify risks (if any) to adopters
32
33. Beta Implementation: Central Infrastructure and Services
• SUNET (via funding from GEANT) has been identified as the home for
identity provider persistence service and a central discovery service
for the Beta Phase
33
Criteria
• Perceived as neutral by publishers, librarians,
federation operators, etc.
• Capable of supporting 24/7 infrastructure
• Experienced running high availability critical
infrastructure
• Willing and able to support a global model
• Financially sustainable long-term
34. Elements of the Seamless Access Beta service
• A common UI element (e.g., a button) that SPs may add to their sites
to invite users to authenticate with a federated identity or initiate
the IdP discovery process.
• An optional improved, search-based IdP discovery experience which
makes use of enhanced IdP metadata to enable reliable selection of
the appropriate IdP using institution name or email domain.
• A centralized IdP persistence service which enables a user’s previous
choice of IdP to be remembered by their browser across
participating SPs, thus decreasing the frequency with which the user
has to choose their IdP.
35. Expectations of Beta Implementors
Implement the Access Button and
IdP persistence service on your
sites per the RP guidelines
OR
Encourage your hosting provider
to do so
Be prepared to share aggregate data
about success metrics (being
developed), e.g.
– Access success rates
– User satisfaction with access
processes
– Reduction in support tickets
1 2
36. Roll-out Strategy
• Initial focus will be on adopting
RA21 recommendations as
broadly as possible as a
supplement to IP for remote
access (off campus)
• Also suggested as the
primary/only access method for
organizations that can’t use IP
(e.g. corporate customers using
cloud ISPs such as zScaler)
• This will allow us to monitor
and measure success rates and
build a case for RA21 as the
primary access method for all
customers

The set of attributes released to a service provider via SAML is formally under the control of each IdP and various SAML federations set their own norms around expected attributes. However a convention was established over a decade ago for library information resources. Many resource providers expect the following:
· An anonymous entitlement attribute indicating that the user is entitled to access resources licensed common library terms (https://www.internet2.edu/products-services/trust-identity/mace-registries/urnmace-namespace/urn-mace-dir-registry/urn-mace-dir-entitlement/)
· An optional, opaque pairwise identifier for the user which enables personalized features on the information provider site to be accessed using the user’s home institution sign-in credentials
RA21 is (proposing/recommending/suggesting/investigating) the formalization of this convention via the establishment of a new Entity Category for library information resources (https://wiki.refeds.org/display/ENT/Entity-Categories+Home)
