Stronger together: community initiatives in journal managementJisc
There has been a recent growth of initiatives to address common problems regarding current and long-term access to e-journal content. Jisc is at the forefront of many of these with the close participation and active input of educational institutions.
This session aims to summarise the current state of key themes with pointers to future directions of areas such as sustainability, the move towards e-only environments, and shared consortia approaches. It will provide an overview and panel discussion on developing the supporting infrastructure to meet the needs of users. The discussion will focus on how institutions, community bodies and service providers can best work together to ensure sustainable, long-term initiatives by seeking to introduce uniformity, standardisation and collaboration to an even greater extent.
The session will introduce two new Jisc-supported projects in this area, the Keepers Registry Extra and SafeNet initiatives, and discuss how these fit alongside existing Jisc services such as Knowledge Base+, UK LOCKSS Alliance, Journal Archives and JUSP (Journal Usage Statistics Portal). The panel will address how this catalogue of services contributes towards a coherent strategy in the management of e-journal content.

Rewiring the Ivory Tower? Digital Universities and the Evolution of Open ScienceMarkus Neuschäfer
The evolution of Digital Universities and Open Science is driven by several factors. The high connectivity of the digital age has made it easier than ever before to work collaboratively and share research with a global audience. In a knowledge society, the demand for well-grounded information is rising, as it fosters cultural participation, economic prosperity and social mobility. But not every method of dissemination is equally successful or sustainable. Sharing PDF files online is not enough: Community building, the adoption of digital skills and the development of new filters for online publications have become a vital part of open science. With open data and an evolving set of digital tools, researchers can connect to a wider pool of inspiration. The talk will highlight current trends in Open Science, introducing methods and platforms to participate in its growth.

The projects modeled the data, transformed it to RDF, loaded it into a triplestore, and created linked data views. Challenges discussed include data modeling complexity, linking subjects and places, scalability, provenance, licensing, and sustainability. Linked data is presented as enabling easier data integration and discovery of hidden collections.
This document summarizes the highs and lows of library linked data projects. It discusses two UK projects that exposed library catalog and archive data as linked open data (LOD), including modeling the data as RDF, transforming it, and loading it into a triplestore. It highlights the benefits of LOD like easier data integration and discovery. However, it also notes challenges like steep learning curves, complexity of archival data, issues of scalability, provenance and licensing.
2 minutes on LOCAH Linking Lives at Europeana Tech 2011Adrian Stevenson
The LOCAH Linking Lives Project connects archives across the UK to provide a single point of access to their collections. It allows researchers to search catalogues from multiple participating archives simultaneously. The project aims to make local and community archives more accessible to encourage use of primary sources for teaching, learning and research.
UKOLN is a project that is exposing data from Archives Hub and Copac as linked open data. It is linking items from these datasets to other datasets like BBC, VIAF, DBPedia, and GeoNames. The project is creating prototypes to visualize the data and reporting on opportunities and barriers of exposing cultural heritage data as linked open data. One goal is to enable new ways of integrating and exploring related data across different sources.
Report on the International Linked Open Data for Libraries, Archives and Muse...Adrian Stevenson
The document summarizes the Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives & Museums Summit held in June 2011 in San Francisco. Over 100 people from over 85 organizations participated, including major libraries, archives, and museums. The summit aimed to advance the publication and use of Linked Open Data among cultural heritage institutions. Participants discussed topics like explaining Linked Data to non-technical staff, assessing the costs and benefits, licensing and rights issues, crowdsourcing, vocabulary maintenance, and user tools. Next steps include further events and collaborations to continue developing Linked Open Data practices in cultural heritage organizations.
The document discusses the LOCAH Project which aims to expose data from the Archives Hub and Copac as linked open data. It describes creating URIs and an RDF data model for archival descriptions. It also discusses enhancing the data by linking to external vocabularies and creating a prototype visualization using tools like Timemap and Simile. Key challenges mentioned include the complexity of archival data and ensuring sustainability and scalability of the linked data.

Do the LOCAH-Motion: How to Make Bibliographic and Archival Linked DataAdrian Stevenson
Presentation given at the Dev8d Developer Days event at the University of London Students Union, London, UK on 15th February 2011.
The talk was primarily aimed at developers with the assumption that they knew a bit about RDF and Linked Data, so it doesn’t discuss these except in passing. I was mainly trying to give some specifics on the technicalities involved, and what platforms and tools we’re using, so people can follow the same path if they wanted.

The document summarizes key concepts about linked data and the semantic web. It discusses how linked data uses URIs and RDF to publish structured data on the web in a way that is machine-readable and interconnected. It provides examples of how linked data is being implemented in projects from the UK government and BBC to link disparate data sources on the web. While progress is being made, challenges remain around getting organizations to publish their data as linked open data and proving the business value of doing so.
Linked Data and the Semantic Web - Mimas SeminarAdrian Stevenson
Linked Data and the Semantic Web refer to publishing structured data on the web in a way that allows both humans and machines to access and connect related data more easily. The key aspects are using URIs to identify real-world things and linking those URIs to other relevant URIs so data from different sources about the same things can be connected. While progress has been made in publishing some government and cultural data as Linked Data, challenges remain around adoption, usability, sustainability and addressing concerns around data licensing and provenance for the Semantic Web vision to be fully realized.

3. WW1 Discovery Project
• Proof-of-Concept illustrating
principles of the JISC Discovery
initiative
• Discovery about advocating
‘open’ and ‘aggregating’
• Make digital content more
discoverable by people and
machines
www.discovery.ac.uk
• Building WW1 aggregation API
and discovery layer
4.
5. What is an API?
• ‘Application Programming Interface’
• Allows machine readability of data
– Typically over the Web
• Provides access to content or functions for
other systems
• Many ways to do this – e.g.
– Google, Facebook, Flickr, twitter APIs ….
– OAI-PMH, Z39.50
– RDF - Linked Data, Semantic Web 5
6. WW1 Discovery: How?
• Aggregate data from
existing APIs – NMM,
V&A, Europeana
• Help others with
example API – BL,
Welsh Voices, Postal
Museum
• Formats: SOLR, RSS,
OpenSearch, OAI-
PMH, CSV
18. Challenges
• Lack of APIs
• Difficulties merging data
– Varied content and formats
– Relevance ranking dubious
• From Discovery ‘Technical Principles’ - “Discovery is distributed …
Discovery is concerned with a plethora of information resources and
services from a wide variety of sources and is prepared, where
appropriate, to deal with these in situ”
• Speed of API response
• Lack of content
– images
– geo-data and time data
• Content licenses not open

Editor's Notes
About the WW1 Discovery project
Also mention the technical principles
Lots could say about APIs but will focus on the resource discovery aspects.Some have more of an interoperability focus, some more proprietary.
Using APIs and helping institutions set up APIs. Phase 1 Kings College work identified institutions with good WW1 stuff. Unfortuanetly this work wasn’t focussed so much on technical provision.In addition, very few data source insitutions have APIs.
First version of API released November 2012. Have been many subsequent revisions and are almost there with it. Worked through last set of bus and fixes late January 2013.
Note this is where the crowdsourcing comes in
Note this is where the crowdsourcing comes in too.
Challenges include the lack of APIs available to aggregate data. Tech principles suggest using data in situ here.Merits of this is that data doesn’t get stale and that in principle shouldn’t have data maintenance issues centralisers have such as Archives Hub.Mimas also does lots of centralisation stuff so wanted to try a diff approachAlso most API suited to querying, not harvesting.No valid way to relevance rank the search results of the different data sources against each other,.Acknowledged that even when you do centralise and have a voew of all the MD, still questionable how rank, as they come in all shapes, sizes, quality and degrees of sparcity or not as Europeana appear to have found.Of course, if not using API for cross searching, this may well not be a problem
