From susan.parham at gmail.com Mon Oct 1 10:23:09 2012 From: susan.parham at gmail.com (Susan Wells Parham) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2012 10:23:09 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] ASIST Bulletin - research data column Message-ID: Hi everyone, There will now be a regular research data curation column in the ASIS&T Bulletin. I'm responsible for arranging the column, under the purview of ASIS&T Bulletin editor, Irene Travis. A colleague and I wrote the first essay; however, I feel that it will be useful to have guest authors write subsequent columns, to share multiple points of view and describe multiple projects. If anyone on this list has an idea for an essay (approximately 900 words) for the Bulletin, please let me know. I'm a bit late in sending this message to the RDAP community for the December/January issue, as the column deadline is October 15. Even if you can't meet this deadline, let me know, as your idea may be suitable for a later issue.

They point out that a PURL already exists for the metadata page/item record-that's the DSpace Handle. They want their DOIs to allow for direct data file download. Our IR team is a bit hesitant to endorse this, as bitstream URLs are somewhat less stable that Handles, and DOIs (registered to IRs, SRs, and publishers alike) seem to always point to a landing page of some sort. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I'm familiar with the ANDS/Griffith U example [1] but would like to know more about best practices at other institutions, and the arguments for/against registering bitstream URLs for DOIs.

I'm familiar with the ANDS/Griffith U example [1] but would like to know more about best practices at other institutions, and the arguments for/against registering bitstream URLs for DOIs. The topic was discussed at the August 2011 BRDI meeting on data citation, and the technical breakout group went over some of the issues, and came up with a list of recommendations ... which was in part, 'landing pages' over directly linking to the data. I'm expecting the official report from the meeting to be released soon (they were targeting September, which ended yesterday) ... but as I thought it was important enough, I also presented on the advantages of landing pages at this year's RDAP: http://docs.virtualsolar.org/wiki/Citation Specifically, from the handout from the poster (with a typo corrected): http://vso1.nascom.nasa.gov/rdap/RDAP2012_landingpages_handout.pdf Acts as the endpoint for citations ---------------------------------- Citations should go to this intermediary landing page, rather than directly to the data. Sending researchers directly to the data can be a disservice, as the data may not be useful on its own without the proper software to read it or the proper documentation to understand it. The data may be excessive in size, and pushing researchers to download data without an interstitial warning about what they are downloading is a disservice to both interested researchers and to the providers hosting the data. (there's video of the talk, too ... but I really don't want to talk about that ... I have, however, figured out that Apple's Keynote has a setting for what size you want the slides to be rendered at ... it does *not* automatically scale up to the display resolution, which is what screwed me up ... and the talk was really about the advantages of citing the data directly vs. the other alternatives, so wouldn't help with this question really) Part of the discussion at the BRDI meeting against directly linking to the data was: 1. Do you want people downloading multiple-GB or TB files without knowing if they really want them, or can even use them? (I personally don't want people wasting our site's bandwidth) 2. Where can you put up notices that although the data's still available in the original form used, it's been deprecated by a different calibration? 3. As file standards change, the data may be packaged in more than one format, and there should be a place where a researcher can select what's appropriate for them. (and most people don't know how to adjust the HTTP Accept header so that we can make the decision for them). 4. The data maybe stored at more than one location, so we want to prompt them to select an appropriate mirror. 5. Many 'self documenting' file formats don't actually have enough information to really use the data. (is it suitable to the type of research I'm doing? What assumptions did they make in collecting the data? Are the terms they're using consistent with what I think they mean?) We still wanted some sort of machine-readable links from the landing page to the actual data, so that some sort of client *could* go and download all of the data automatically ... but we didn't want someone clicking on a link from a paper to suddenly find out they've just requested a 200TB dataset be staged for them to download.* -Joe * I can actually craft a URL to do it ... but I try to make sure that I never generate URLs larger than 2 GB right now, as not all of the mirrors have appropriate robots.txt files to protect themselves from search engines.

Some thoughts: There is an analogous puzzle in the semantic world, where the URI identifies a concept, but often also gets repurposed to provide the definition of the concept in OWL, and/or a page describing the concept. I support that on the basis that it increases usability -- if the core functionality isn't obstructed. Since a DOI in and of itself is not resolvable, the idea that their DOIs can 'allow for direct data download' is not possible on its face. It is the resolver for the DOI that provides resolvability. So it is the resolver that could allow for direct data file download. There are 3 mechanisms that could allow that: (1) Assigning a DOI that is uniquely resulting in a download. (2) Adding a suffix to a resolvable DOI to indicate a download request (or event a type) -- we do this in our semantic repository, it works pretty well. Example: http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.726855?action=download. (3) Create a 'download' resolver that tries to initiate the download based on what it can find in the DOI landing page. Any of these would require modifying existing DOI resolver code to support it, I suspect. And any of them will require that it be possible to update the data set URL in the resolver, for those occasions when the URL has to change. The next level you'd immediately have to think about is what it means to download the data set. Does the user always know the format and content of the resulting file? Will they never want the data in a different format? A shame if you had to generate different DOIs for different formats.... The case that is not addressed by the reference [1] is that of citing live bitstreams (as opposed to a static query result. The wording of your query indicates the DOI is is *not* for the live bitstream, so I've not addressed that possibility directly. But this needs to be a citable resource, just as the New York Times newspaper needs to be citable as a publication, even though new supplements come out every day (and there are new editions throughout a day). We will almost certainly do this for Ocean Observatories Initiative -- but just the DOI won't get you to a live stream directly, it will need to give you information about the live stream.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: *Read it online: http://bit.ly/OTAI4l* Dear Friend of Open Access, During the week of October 21-28, 2012 the world will celebrate Open Access to a growing web of scholarly, scientific and cultural heritage resources and research outputs. Providing Open Access to resources is a badge of honor for institutions who freely share knowledge with the world over the Internet. Many of us have an idea of what is held in repositories?digital facsimiles of books, papers, journals, photographs, scans of artworks and media. The general public, however, has little knowledge of what specific types of interesting knowledge resources are held in Open Access repositories. DuraSpace has collected more than 30 vignettes that tell some of the stories behind the surprising, amazing and eclectic materials that can be found in DSpace and Fedora repositories from around the world in the "For Your Repository Viewing Pleasure" series. These blog posts provide views into repositories with pointers to notable collections. Read "For Your Repository Viewing Pleasure" vignettes here: http://bit.ly/ReKcGs In honor of Open Access Week DuraSpace would like to round up and publish additional "For Your Repository Viewing Pleasure" stories to help answer the question, "What splendid stuff is in YOUR repository?" Please send descriptions of treasures, surprising special collections, interesting items, treasures, artifacts, and/or inspirational resources that are freely available from your Open Access repository to inspire, delight and inform. DuraSpace will highlight their availability in the coming year. Please contact me at > for more information or to talk about what's in your repository.

Anybody know about or involved with the Thomson Reuters data indexing product below? It looks very interesting. The white paper is attached. Here?s an excerpt: ?Working with prominent champions of data sharing, including leading research libraries and digital repositories, such as the California Digital library, iCPSr, Protein Data bank, Pangaea, and UK Data archive, among others, Thomson Reuters developed the Data Citation index. Designed to be a single source of data discovery for the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Data Citation index fully indexes a significant number of the world?s leading data repositories of critical interest to the scientific community, including over two million data studies and datasets.?

(See rd-alliance.org). With the rise of ?Big Data? as a national and international priority, the sharing and exchange of open access research data has become more important than ever. Efforts to develop and adopt common tools and infrastructure, harmonize data standards, and apply policy and best practice are needed to remove ?roadblocks? to increased data-driven research and discovery. The need for these efforts has motivated an international community to come together to form the RDA as an organization that accelerates the development of global data infrastructure to support innovation. RDA / US is the U.S. community helping to drive the Research Data Alliance. Dr. Francine Berman is Chair of RDA / U.S. and has also been appointed a member of the founding leadership Council of the RDA. > > _______________________________________________ > esi mailing list > esi at mit.edu > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/esi
