SUPPORTING NPD TEAMS IN INNOVATION: STRUCTURING USER DATA ON THE FOUNDATIONS ...Mahir Alkaya
This document presents a framework for structuring and communicating user data to new product development teams in large organizations. The framework is based on the theory of empathy in design and aims to enhance empathy within design teams. It structures user data into three phases - discovery, immersion, and connection - based on the empathic design process. In the discovery phase, demographic data and pictures are used to spark curiosity. The immersion phase utilizes raw user stories and data to help teams understand user experiences. In the connection phase, teams reflect on their own experiences to emotionally connect with users. The goal is to help teams develop innovative ideas by gaining a deeper understanding of users.
- Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) formed in 1975 when the Mormon Church divested its hospitals and charged IHC's IT department to build a modern clinical information system.
- Led by Larry Grandia, IHC developed the Med/38 system using the IBM System/38 minicomputer and RPG programming language. It implemented financial systems first, then clinical systems including pharmacy, medical records, and nursing.
- Med/38 saw early success with 70 hospitals purchasing and implementing it within 3 years, including sales to two other multi-hospital systems. This established IHC's IT department, later called Affiliated Services Inc., as a leading hospital IT vendor in the early 1980s.

Open Access to JRC Research InfrastructuresAndreas Jenet
The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission is opening access to 39 of its physical research infrastructures to external users. This will provide benefits like fair access to limited resources in Europe and capacity building. Access will be through either a peer-reviewed call for proposals process or a market-driven selection by JRC. A dedicated portal lists eligibility criteria and information on calls, selected projects, and published results after an embargo period. So far over 100 proposals have been received from over 20 countries, with most coming from Italy, Germany, UK, and France. Selected projects have studied topics like steel properties, food allergens, and nuclear materials. Training programs are also available to support capacity building.
The Europeana Cloud project aims to build a shared digital infrastructure for cultural heritage institutions in Europe. The project has 35 partner institutions and will develop tools and services for researchers. It will ingest 2.4 million metadata records and 5 million content items. Work Package 1 focuses on engaging with humanities and social sciences researchers to understand their needs and inform the development of the cloud infrastructure and services. Activities include forming an advisory board, conducting surveys, and holding expert forums to help define a research content strategy and user requirements. The goal is to better support research through aggregation of content in the cloud.

This document summarizes the key findings from a study on quality teaching initiatives at higher education institutions. It analyzed initiatives at 29 institutions across 3 phases: collection, observation, and analysis/reporting. The study found that definitions and conceptions of quality teaching varied between institutions and were always evolving. Quality teaching initiatives addressed the specific needs of each university and its local context. Evaluating the impact of such initiatives on learning outcomes proved challenging due to the complex relationship between teaching and learning. The document concludes that developing quality teaching requires long-term commitment, innovative evaluation, and harnessing synergies across university stakeholders and policies.
The document summarizes the pilot phase (2007-2008) of Delft University of Technology's OpenCourseWare project in the Netherlands. It provides details on the characteristics of the pilot, including the six pilot programs and technical infrastructure used. It then evaluates results of the pilot phase, such as the number of online courses published and website traffic. Finally, it outlines plans for the next phase of the project through 2010, focusing on expanding course offerings, developing a sustainable business model, and transforming the website into an interactive community platform.
This document summarizes a project that developed educational materials using real climate data and programming exercises in Jupyter Notebooks.

DRI's role in WorldFAIR: Cultural Heritage / Image Sharingdri_ireland
Natalie Harrower discussed cultural heritage data sharing of images. While some cultural institutions have adopted FAIR practices like persistent identifiers and format standards, many large image sharing platforms predate FAIR and have their own metadata standards. The challenge is how to help align these platforms and vocabularies with FAIR principles to promote best practices for archiving, preservation, and research. The proposed approach is to work with existing communities and platforms, analyze current practices, engage relevant groups, and test alignments through partnerships with trusted digital repositories.
Introduction to research data managementdri_ireland
An Introduction to Research Data Management: slides from a presentation given online on May 12 2022, by Beth Knazook, Project Manager, Research Data. Covers topics such as: what are research data; why share research data; why DMPs are important; and where should you share your data?
These slides are from a presentation delivered by Dr James Louis Smith, postdoctoral fellow at University College Cork for the Ports, Past and Present project, delivered on 17 Sept 2021 as part of ‘Dublin in the Archives: Digital collections exploring the city and county’, a webinar hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland as part of the Culture Night 2021 programme of events.
This document provides an overview of a collection of 8 documentary films made between 2000 and 2017 about communities in Dublin neighborhoods. The films were made in a hybrid style, not through traditional TV or film commissions but in collaboration with community organizations. They cover topics like social history, housing, employment, childhood, and the Dublin drug crisis. More than 100 people participated by being interviewed or performing. Funding came from community and arts sources. Some of the films have won awards at film festivals. The collection is now preserved by the Dublin Research Institute after previously only being stored digitally by the filmmaker. It provides over 5 hours of footage documenting stories and themes from the featured Dublin communities.
These slides are from a presentation delivered by Karen De Lacey, county archivist at Fingal County Council, delivered on 17 Sept 2021 as part of ‘Dublin in the Archives: Digital collections exploring the city and county’, a webinar hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland as part of the Culture Night 2021 programme of events.
These slides are from a presentation delivered by Emma Clarke, founder of Dublin Ghost Signs, delivered on 17 Sept 2021 as part of ‘Dublin in the Archives: Digital collections exploring the city and county’, a webinar hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland as part of the Culture Night 2021 programme of events.
This presentation was delivered by Liz Miller, Professor in Communication Studies, Concordia University, as part of ‘Engaging Communities with Archives: Video as a tool for activism, advocacy, and archival work’, a collaborative online event hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) on 7 Sept 2021. The webinar focused on archival initiatives and participatory projects that aim to train or support community groups in using video to tell personal stories, bring about social change, or archive and preserve activism and advocacy work.
The presentation focuses on Mapping Memories, a participatory media initiative that offered over a hundred young individuals the opportunity to recount their stories of refugee experiences on their own terms.
Supporting Activists to Preserve Video Documentation dri_ireland
This presentation was delivered by Yvonne Ng, Archives Manager at WITNESS, as part of ‘Engaging Communities with Archives: Video as a tool for activism, advocacy, and archival work’, a collaborative online event hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) on 7 Sept 2021. The webinar focused on archival initiatives and participatory projects that aim to train or support community groups in using video to tell personal stories, bring about social change, or archive and preserve activism and advocacy work.
The presentation focuses on WITNESS’s work and how they support people to use video as a tool for activism and advocacy.
Making The Future is a cross-border cultural program funded by €1.82M from the EU PEACE IV program to empower people from different communities in Northern Ireland to explore museum collections and archives. The program involves four partner organizations and over 200 participants so far exploring themes through digital storytelling like gender, migration, music and arts. One program called "Every Day is a School Day" involved 10 blind participants working with the Royal National Institute of Blind People to create short films about their experiences with education in Northern Ireland and making archives more accessible. The goal is to break down barriers and fill gaps to create an inclusive archive through 100 shared stories reflecting on the past, present and future of Northern Ireland.

• The existing structures are too weak (ad hoc
networks, no permanence) and national in scope
• Answer: strong European data
infrastructure, providing continuity and support for
digital A&H research and access to digital
resources
5. DARIAH’s mission
• The mission of DARIAH is to enhance and support
digitally‐enabled research across the humanities and
arts

17. CLARIN Goal: integrated and interoperable research
infrastructure of language resources and technology, offering a
stable, persistent, accessible and extendable infrastructure and
therefore enabling eHumanities
• integrated: connected resource and service centres
• interoperable: resources and services based on Semantic Web technologies to
overcome format, structural and terminological differences
• stable: resources and services with a high availability
• persistent: resources and services are planned to be accessible for many years so
that researchers can rely on them
• accessible: accessible via the web; tailored to the needs of the communities
making use of them
• extendable: the infrastructure is open so that new resources and services can be
added easily

Editor's Notes
Setting the context for DARIAH:DARIAH is a truly Europeanendeavor, initiated in 2006, fundedby the EU in itsPreparatoryPhase(2008-2010).We are now in the TransitionPhase as we move towardsestablishing the DARIAH-ERIC, beforemovingonto the Construction Phaseof course, we hope the OperationalPhase.
We are in the final stages of preparing for our ‘Step 1’ DARIAH-ERIC Application. The core documentation has been prepared, including in particular:Technical and Scientific Description describing the Mission and Objectives of DARIAH.DARIAH-ERIC Draft Statutes which has been developed in full-consultation with our founding members and with excellent feedback from Mr. Tuinder of the European Commission.The statutes contains all the necessary information, including the establishment, participation, governance, budgetary principles and provisions for policy development in areas such as access, scientific evaluation and data.
So, which countries are participating in DARIAH?The founding members of the DARIAH-ERIC will be the following 10 countries that you see here, including Croatia and Serbia as Associated Countries.All of these countries have signed the DARIAH-ERIC Memorandum of Understanding stating their willingness to establish the DARIAH ERIC.The legal seat of the DARIAH-ERIC will be in Paris, France. The coordination of DARIAH is lead jointly by France, Germany and The Netherlands.
Here briefly is alittle of the detail about the specific expertise of the individual VCCs:VCC1 – eInfrastructure– lead by Germany and Austria will establish a shared technology platform for arts and humanities researchVCC2 – Research and Education – lead by Ireland and Denmark – is where the researchers are. They will expose and share their digital enabled research methods, expertise and tools.VCC3 – Scholarly Content Management – lead by France and The Netherlands is where the interoperability happens to expose and share scholarly content.VCC4 – Advocacy, impact and outreach – lead by Germany in liaison with the DCO is the key interface with influencers in and for the Arts and Humanities.
Here is an overview of the DARIAH governance structure which is described in detail within the DARIAH-ERIC Statutes. I would like to draw your attention to:General Assembly – This is supreme organ of the DARIAH ERIC, will full decision making powers. This is where the Ministeries are represented.Board of Directors – The executive and legal representatives of the DARIAH-ERICCoordination Board – The operational organ of the DARIAH-ERIC.
For the day-to-day operations of the DARIAH-ERIC, we have the DARIAH-EU Coordination Office or DCO.This is a virtual organisation, jointly located in France, Germany and The Netherlands and is responsible to the coordination of all activities of the DARIAH-ERIC.
As with any organisation, DARIAH has also laid down its budgetary principles.With an estimated annual budget of approximately 4 million euro, Members and observers contribute to the budget. These contributions are based on the latest GDP figures from the World Bank.Contributions exist of two parts:Cash contributions (10%)In-kind contributions (90%) which are monitored through the VCC framework.
Of course, DARIAH does not work in the digital arts and humanities landscape alone, both in Europe or internationally. We are therefore working towards a collaboration strategy, initially mapping the landscape and then considering each initiatives according to it’s proximity to DARIAH based on thematic interest, institutional anchoring and intended user community.For example, Affiliated projects are the most closely related to DARIAH and a strong collaborative framework already exists, for example the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) which supports the European Holocaust research communityby opening up a portal thatwillgive online access to dispersedsourcesrelating to the Holocaust all over Europe and Israel.
