Developed by Paul Walk and colleagues at EDINA, RIOXX is designed to provide a mechanism to help UK institutional repositories comply with the national funders' requirements for reporting on open access outputs from public funding. RIOXX focuses on applying consistency to the metadata fields used to record research funder and project/grant identifiers and is designed to support the consistent tracking of open-access research publications across scholarly systems.
The development of RIOXX has emphasised the importance of implementation, and has therefore involved software developers closely, even borrowing some software development practice such as continuous, automated testing of deployed 'feeds' of RIOXX records. This webinar will briefly examine some of these novel approaches to metadata profile development.

OpenAPI 3.0, And What It Means for the Future of SwaggerSmartBear
OpenAPI 3.0, which is based on the original Swagger 2.0 specification, is meant to provide a standard format to unify how an industry defines and describes RESTful APIs.
The release of OAS 3.0 marks a significant milestone in the growth of the API economy — bringing together collaborators from across industries, to evolve the specification to meet the needs of API developers and consumers across the world in an open and transparent manner.
We hosted a free Swagger training: OpenAPI 3.0, And What it Means for the Future of Swagger. More than 2,000 people signed up to learn more about the new specification, and to find out about what’s coming next for Swagger and SwaggerHub!

The success of COUNTER in supporting adoption of a standard to measure e-resource usage over the past 15 years is apparent. The prevalence of global OA policies and mandates, and the role of institutional repositories within this context prompts demand for more granular metrics. It also raises the profile of data sharing of item level usage and research data metrics. The need for reliable and authoritative measures is key. This burgeoning interest is complemented by a number of initiatives to explore the measurement and tracking of usage of a broad range of objects outside traditional publisher platforms. Drawing on examples such as OpenAIRE, IRUSdata-UK, Crossref’s distributed usage logging and DOI event tracker projects, COAR Next Generation Repositories and IRUS-UK, this session will provide an update on progress in this area, discuss some challenges and current approaches to tackling them

The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) calls for the contribution of non confidential information about the Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) to the Global Information System (GLIS) to facilitate access to such information by any party interested. The foundation of GLIS is the accurate identification of the PGRFA to which the information is associated. After extensive research and consultation, DOIs have been selected as the Permanent Unique Identifier of choice for GLIS.
The webinar describes the challenges that the GLIS team of the ITPGRFA has faced as well as the benefits that the GLIS user community will receive by the adoption of DOIs.
Initially developed by FAO of the UN in the context of the NeOn project as a collaborative environment for the development of the AGROVOC thesaurus, later generalized to a SKOS-XLdevelopment platform in the context of a collaboration with the University of Rome Tor Vergata, VocBench is now reaching its third incarnation.
VocBench 3 (or simply, VB3), is the new version of VocBench, funded by the European Commission ISA² programme, and with development managed by the Publications Office of the EU, under contract 10632 (Infeurope S.A.).
VB3 will offer a powerful editing environment, with facilities for collaborative management of OWL ontologies and SKOS/SKOS-XL thesauri. VB3 will surpass its predecessor with native support for OWL, SKOS and SKOS-XL, completely rewritten components for better User Interface, User Management, History Tracking and Validation&Publication Workflow.
Research activities rely on access and repeatability of results. Accurate identification of the subject of the research as well as of the techniques and methods used is critical to obtain reliable results.
The adoption of Permanent Unique Identifiers, and specifically Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)promotes access and reusability of data in modern research. The webinar begins with some basic concepts on Permanent Unique Identifiers. Next, DOIs are introduced describing how they are managed, how they can be obtained and how their features can be of benefit to researchers in a wide range of fields.
The FAIR principles have been introduced as a guideline for good scientific data stewardship. They have gained momentum at a management level and are now for example part of the project template for EU Horizon 2020 projects. This raises the question what research groups and projects can do to implement them. Hugo Besemer will introduce the ideas behind the FAIR principles.

This webinar covers three emerging themes in life science publishing, which will begin to influence the way in which the agricultural researchers share and access knowledge:
Faster dissemination: Publishing scientific articles is often a lengthy process, taking several months or even years from first submission. This prevents the research community and others from being able to act on new knowledge quickly, which is especially serious in emergency situations such as emerging infectious diseases. This webinar will cover two ways of tackling publication delays: preprint servers and post-publication peer review platforms.
Increased access & transparency: Open Access has helped remove access barriers to a vast body of scientific knowledge. Other important research outputs that have historically been difficult to access are starting to be published more frequently such as replications, data, code and referee reports.
Assessment of research: Researches are assessed by their publication record. Journal title and Impact Factor tend to be the default assessment criteria, though there is growing awareness of the disadvantages of these approaches, and alternative measures of quality and impact are gaining ground.
About Thomas Ingraham:
Tom is the Publishing Editor at F1000Research and has been involved with the publisher’s open science and editorial development since its inception in 2012. He manages several channels published on F1000Research, including those focussing on agriculture, and is the lead on several of the publisher’s open data-orientated projects.
Open access has been a positive force in scientific publishing. But the removal of paywalls and restrictive licencing are not the only issues that need to be tackled; unnecessary delays to publication, irreproducible findings, publication biases, and poor access to underlying data and code also need to be addressed. This is especially important in agriculture and nutrition research where quick, unrestricted access to knowledge is crucial to solving urgent issues including food security, biodiversity conservation, and emerging infectious diseases in crops and animals.
This webinar will cover how the novel approaches taken by the publication venue Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD) and the publishing platform it is hosted on, F1000Research, are addressing these issues. OKAD publishes academic articles, posters and slide presentations involving open knowledge projects within all areas of agriculture, nutrition and agro-biodiversity. By using F1000Research’s post-publication peer review platform, OKAD ensures rapid access to research within days of submission. Experts are invited to peer review upon publication, and their signed peer review reports are published alongside the article. All articles and any associated data and code are made publically available.

De plus, il présentera brièvement la formation gratuite disponible sur les sites web sur les compétences des auteurs, les outils de gestion de référence mais aussi fournira des exemples de comment Research4Life fait la différence pour de nombreux établissements de recherche aujourd’hui.
With more and more thesauri, classifications and other knowledge organization systems being published as Linked Data using SKOS, the question arises how best to make them available on the web. While just publishing the Linked Data triples is possible using a number of RDF publishing tools, those tools are not very well suited for SKOS data, because they cannot support term-based searching and lookup.
This webinar presents Skosmos, an open source web-based SKOS vocabulary browser that uses a SPARQL endpoint as its backend. It can be used by e.g. libraries and archives as a publishing platform for controlled vocabularies such as thesauri, lightweight ontologies, classifications and authority files. The Finnish national thesaurus and ontology service Finto, operated by the National Library of Finland, is built using Skosmos.
Skosmos provides a multilingual user interface for browsing and searching the data and for visualizing concept hierarchies. The user interface has been developed by analyzing the results of repeated usability tests. All of the SKOS data is made available as Linked Data. A developer-friendly REST API is also available providing access for using vocabularies in other applications such as annotation systems.
We will describe what kind of infrastructure is necessary for Skosmos and how to set it up for your own SKOS data. We will also present examples where Skosmos is being used around the world.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

4. “Application profiles consist of data
elements drawn from one or more
namespace schemas combined together
by implementors and optimised for a
particular local application.”
Heery & Patel: Application Profiles: Mixing and Matching Metadata Schemas
7. why build RIOXX?
• new policies from RCUK and HEFCE mandate that any journal article funded
by research grants be made publicly accessible in a repository
• these policies require that universities make metadata about such papers
easily discoverable
• the available metadata formats were inadequate
• OAI-DC was not rich enough
• OpenAIRE was better but demanded project IDs be encoded in particular
syntax not compatible with project IDs from UK Research Councils
• OpenAIRE syntax
• info:eu-
repo/grantAgreement/Funder/FundingProgram/ProjectID/[Jurisdiction]
/[ProjectName]/[ProjectAcronym]
• RCUK syntax:
• OpaqueProjectID/version
8. • an application profile using properties from 4 namespaces:
• 11 properties from Dublin Core (dc and dcterms)
• 2 properties from NISO Open Access Metadata and Indicators
• 8 from a new namespace - ‘rioxxterms’
• constraints imposed through several controlled vocabularies
• it has one purpose: to provide a mechanism to help institutional repositories
in the UK comply with the RCUK policy on open access.
• it is not designed to provide general interoperability!!
• born at UKOLN, developed by EDINA and Chygrove Ltd., supported by
Research Councils UK (RCUK) & Higher Education Funding Councils of
England (HEFCE) and funded (initially) by Jisc
• Version 2.0 released in January 2015
9. components of RIOXX
• a metadata ‘application profile’
• technical documentation
• an XSD schema to facilitate metadata validation
• mapping to OpenAIRE 3
• a set of guidelines for systems implementation (with a focus on institutional
repositories)
• implementation monitoring and testing framework
• a supporting website (http://www.rioxx.net)
• (+ independent development of software plugins etc. to support RIOXX
implementation)
10. particular concerns
• how to represent the funder
• how to represent the project/grant
• implementing recommendations from the V4OA process:
• controlled vocabularies for rioxxterms:version, rioxxterms:apc
• use of NISO’s Open Access Metadata and Indicators (license_ref and
free_to_read)
• how to represent the persistent identifier of the item described
• provisions of identifier(s) pointing to related dataset(s)
• how to represent the rights of use of the item described
11. some specific properties
• dc:identifier
• dc:relation & rioxxterms:version_of_record
• dcterms:dateAccepted
• rioxxterms:author & rioxxterms:contributor
• rioxxterms:project
• license_ref
12. dc:identifier
• identifies the open access item being described by the RIOXX metadata
record.
• regardless of where it is located
• recommended to identify the resource itself, not a ‘splash page’
• this will not always be possible or desirable
• whatever it identifies, it MUST be an HTTP URI
• Example:
<dc:identifier>
http://oro.open.ac.uk/2/1/LIBARTVICEprints.pdf
</dc:identifier>
13. dc:relation & rioxxterms:version_of_record
• rioxxterms:version_of_record
• an HTTP URI which is a persistent identifier for the published version of the
resource
• will often (normally?) be a DOI
• dc:relation
• optional property containing an HTTP URI identifying related resources (e.g.
research data sets, software source code etc.)
15. rioxxterms:author & rioxxterms:contributor
• both of these accept an optional ‘ID’ attribute
• this MUST be an HTTP URI
• use of ORCID is strongly recommended
• all authors should be represented as individual rioxxterms:author properties
• the ‘first named author’ can be indicated with another optional attribute called,
er…, ‘first-named-author’
• rioxxterms:contributor is for other parties that are not authors but are credited
with contributing in some way to the publication
• Example:
<rioxxterms:author id="http://orcid.org/0000-0002-
1395-3092">
Lawson, Gerald
</rioxxterms:author>
16. rioxxterms:project
• this expresses funder and project_id in one, slightly more complex, property
• the use of global IDs, e.g. International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) for
funding organisations is recommended
• Example:
<rioxxterms:project
funder_name="Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council"
funder_id="http://isni.org/isni/0000000403948681"
>
EP/K023195/1
</rioxxterms:project>
17. license_ref
• adopted from NISO’s Open Access Metadata and Indicators
• takes an HTTP URI and a start date
• the URI should identify a license
• there is work under way to create a ‘white list’ of acceptable licenses
• embargoes can be expressed this way, with a license identified to ‘take effect’
at some (possibly) future date
• Example:
<ali:license_ref start_date=“2015-02-17”>
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
</ali:license_ref>
20. principles
• purpose driven
• designed to meet a singe, focussed use-case
• solve one problem well, avoid ‘feature creep’
• focussed on implementation
• has to be relatively easy to implement
• ‘shallow’ structure
• the simplest thing that can possibly work
• open development
• public consultation
• tested openly
• rapid development
• short iterations
22. Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.
http://agilemanifesto.org
23. applying these principles to RIOXX development
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• we concentrated on what worked - & what made sense to the user/sponsor
• Working software over comprehensive documentation
• an application profile is fundamentally a set of documentation!
• however, RIOXX is implemented in software
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• we worked as closely with users as possible, and worked very openly
• Responding to change over following a plan
• iterative - we developed RIOXX in short development cycles punctuated by
review
24. transferable Agile techniques
• iterative design and development with users
• high-bandwidth interaction with users
• short iterations or ‘sprints’
• documentation can be made this way just as with code
• starting with the ‘minimum viable product’ (MVP)
• continuous testing during development (and after!)
• testing aids development and understanding
25. continuous testing
• extremely important
• should be mechanistic, or semi-automated, wherever possible
• so that it actually gets done!
• should deliver immediate and useful feedback
• not just the usual XML schema validation - this is often important, but it is not
enough
29. summary
• RIOXX has been created to help universities address open-access reporting
requirements from the UK Research & Funding Councils
• it has been developed using agile approaches and techniques borrowed from
software-developers
• it has been implemented in 26 known repositories since January 2015, and has
been used to some extent in two international aggregation initiatives:
• OneRepo:
• http://onerepo.net/onerepo-single-page.pdf
• SHARE
• https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/SHARE
• It’s adoption is growing steadily :-)

Editor's Notes
Good morning (or afternoon, or evening, or whatever it is where you are)!
I’d like to thank FAO for this chance to talk to you today, particularly Imma Subirats and Karna Wegner who have been very helpful
today I will:
but first, a quick introduction to the idea of the metadata application profile
The development of an AP can be quite different to the development of a standard, mainly because of its scale, but also because it can involve a different range of people
application profiles exist on a continuum - from quite generalised through to more specific
(explain the diagram)
so, now I’ll talk a little about the RIOXX application profile
open access policies in UK relating to public-grant funded research
RIOXX is a classic application profile in that it adds constraints to existing terms and adds new ones as necessary
this is what we have produced - will say more about the testing framework later
explain V4OA
we’ll have a closer look at some of the properties
the decision to require an HTTP URI gives us two advantages:
we don’t need to specify the schema beyond this requirement
we can identify the schema from the URI - e.g. DOI
acceptance date represents a more clearly identifiable ‘business event’
working closely with the OpenAIRE team, we have provided a mapping between RIOXX 2.0 and OpenAIRE 3.0
so, now I’d like to talk a little about the way in which we developed RIOXX
implementation is key. Previous efforts in this space have not been implemented
there are some practices which have emerged from software development over recent years which we might apply to application profile development
‘Agile’ has become an overloaded term, but it’s important to remember that it started somewhere with some principles:
Agile Manifesto couches itself in a series of ‘preferences’ - the phrases in bold towards the left
worth noting this is now 14 years old!
be Agile. Agile development is not a good fit necessarily for standards development, but it has something to offer the development of application profiles, especially if they are very focussed and tightly coupled to a specific problem
Agile techniques - transferrable to AP development
we don’t have time today to look at all of these, but I want to examine one of them because I don’t think it has been done much elsewhere - the idea of continuous testing.
the subject of testing, and how we can apply it to AP development is worth a whole session on its own.
using the example of RIOXX
this is testing sample data from all known RIOXX implementations on a regular basis - and it’s completely automated
doing this openly on the web creates incentives for people to fix things!!
a detailed report is generated for each of the systems tested
this shows both the system developers and the end-users exactly which aspects of the AP have been invalidated
even shows them the raw data where these issues have occured
testing for quality of implementation
characterising the usage
