The document discusses using standardized identifiers to improve the scholarly communication supply chain. It describes how a lack of connections between systems and entities within the supply chain can lead to problems. The use of identifiers for people, organizations, and other entities could help eliminate duplicate records, enable seamless communication, and improve service quality. Identifiers like ORCID, ISNI, and Ringgold IDs could uniquely identify authors, institutions, and other parties to strengthen links across discovery services, publishers, libraries, and other parts of the supply chain. This would allow information to flow more accurately and efficiently.

Persistent Identifiers in Scholarly Communications: What, Why, How, Where, and Who?
Persistent identifiers (PID) are vital to a strong research infrastructure. Unambiguous connections between people, places, and things that PIDs enable build trust in, improve discoverability of, and enable recognition for research contributions. And, in a world where researchers and their institutions are increasingly required to report on their research contributions across multiple systems, it’s critical to be able to do so in as simple, streamlined, and accurate a way as possible. PIDs can help by enabling the automated processes, validating and ensuring correct attribution of works, and facilitating discoverability across multiple platforms and systems. This session brought together representatives from organizations that create different types of PIDs with those who use them. After a brief introduction to what PIDs are and why they’re important, the panel demonstrated how they are being used in researcher systems and workflows, provided an update on recent and upcoming developments, and discussed the challenges and opportunities for widespread adoption of PIDs across the scholarly community. Speakers induded a publisher, a librarian, a manuscript submission system vendor, and representatives from PID organizations. The session included a brief overview from each followed by an informal panel discussion and audience Q&A.

On November 21st 2014 at the Tufts University Medford campus and November 25th 2014 at the campus of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, the BLC and Digital Science hosted a workshop focused on better understanding the research information management landscape.
Jonathan Breeze, CEO of Symplectic, reflected on the emergence of research information management systems and the resulting benefits they can provide.
Recommender System (RS) has emerged as a significant research interest that aims to assist users to seek out items online by providing suggestions that closely match their interests. Recommender system, an information filtering technology employed in many items is presented in internet sites as per the interest of users, and is implemented in applications like movies, music, venue, books, research articles, tourism and social media normally. Recommender systems research is usually supported comparisons of predictive accuracy: the higher the evaluation scores, the higher the recommender. One amongst the leading approaches was the utilization of advice systems to proactively recommend scholarly papers to individual researchers. In today's world, time has more value and therefore the researchers haven't any much time to spend on trying to find the proper articles in line with their research domain. Recommender Systems are designed to suggest users the things that best fit the user needs and preferences. Recommender systems typically produce an inventory of recommendations in one among two ways -through collaborative or content-based filtering. Additionally, both the general public and also the non-public used descriptive metadata are used. The scope of the advice is therefore limited to variety of documents which are either publicly available or which are granted copyright permits. Recommendation systems (RS) support users and developers of varied computer and software systems to beat information overload, perform information discovery tasks and approximate computation, among others.
ACM NOTERE 2008 - Kalman Graffi - From Cells to Organisms - Long-Term Guarant...Kalman Graffi
The peer-to-peer paradigm gained more and more impact in the last years. The reason for P2P arising now is related to the continuous development of device capabilities in the last years, like CPU power, storage space and bandwidth. However, the demand for services and resources is permanently increasing, although the peers have a variety of other resources themselves. In this paper we present the idea of a P2P system acting as a service provider using the resources of participating peers and stating guarantees on the quality of the service it provides. In order to fulfill these service level agreements, the peers confederate to a distributed supervisor of peer resources (P2PCLOUD), monitoring the network, predicting trends on resource availabilities and deciding on resource allocation strategies. This paper discusses the challenges and a solution draft of the concept of P2PCLOUD.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

4. What could possibly go wrong?
Records are unconnected through the supply chain, links fail:
Between entities
Between internal systems
Between external systems
Renewals are mishandled
Journal transfers are mishandled
Access and authentication is mishandled
Authors and individuals are not linked to their institution
Open access fees have to be checked manually
Authors are not linked to their research
Funders are not linked to the research they fund
5. Where stronger links are needed
Finding a path to using standardized data, which:
Eradicates duplicate records within and between systems
Enables seamless communication between organizations
Smoothes the supply chain, removing ambiguity or lack of
information for any party
Enables higher quality of service
Increases understanding of customer base and enables better
decision making
6. How identifiers help
Proper understanding of the customer, whether author,
reader or institution
Provides a simple basis for wider data governance:
Data governance is defined as the processes, policies,
standards, organization, and technologies required to manage
and ensure the availability, accessibility, quality, consistency,
auditability, and security of data.
7. Ongoing data maintenance
Identifiers enforce uniqueness
Enable ongoing data governance
Ensure systems and links between systems continue to
operate as intended
Protects investment in obtaining data quality
8. Why now?
Number of journals increasing by 3.5% per annum*
Number of articles increasing by 3% per annum, current output is
1.8-1.9 million per year*
Number of researchers increasing by 3% per annum*
Now stand at between 6 and 9 million (depending on definition)*
Growth in China has been in double digits for over 15 years*
Increased demand for anytime/anywhere access
Library budgets are frozen or being cut, less money for more
content means we have to work smarter
