From Andrew.M.Johnson at colorado.edu Mon Nov 4 12:22:12 2013 From: Andrew.M.Johnson at colorado.edu (Andrew Johnson) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 10:22:12 -0700 Subject: [Rdap] Announcing RDAP14 workshops! Message-ID: <52753C28B6A57A4A8E08C9FFEC98A01652BD50EEA4@EXC3.ad.colorado.edu> Workshop Descriptions for the 2014 Research Data Access and Preservation Summit (RDAP14) Have Been Announced! Please join us on Friday, March 28th, the final day of RDAP14 (http://www.asis.org/rdap/), for two exciting, hands-on workshops aimed at helping to develop, assess, and improve services for research data. These workshops are a new addition to this year's summit and provide an opportunity to build skills that will help you jumpstart research data efforts at your institution or take your existing program to the next level! See below for workshop descriptions and more information about RDAP14. Building Capabilities for Sustainable Research Data Management Practices Friday, March 28, 8:00am-12:00pm Kevin Crowston & Jian Qin School of Information Studies, Syracuse University As more organizations invest in Research Data Management (RDM), it has become increasingly important for administrators, researchers, and managers to be able to evaluate RDM process for sustainability, efficiency, and effectiveness, which requires a baseline for comparison. The goal of this workshop is to raise the awareness of process management and assessment for RDM and to learn how to apply the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for RDM for the purpose of process assessment. As a tool to increase the reliability of RDM, since 2011 we have been developing a CMM for RDM by gathering evidence from literature and empirical observations and identifying and clustering key RDM practices. The current draft CMM for RDM includes five specific RDM practice areas: 1) Data management in general; 2) Data acquisition, processing and quality assurance; 3) Data description and representation; 4) Data dissemination; and 5) Repository services and preservation. The CMM for RDM framework will provide guidelines that are much needed in data policy making, personnel training, and performance assessment. Learning to Teach, Teach for Learning: Instructional Practices for Data Services Friday, March 28, 1:00pm-5:00pm Lisa Hinchliffe University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Data services specialists are increasingly called upon to provide instructional sessions for users and colleagues. This workshop provides pragmatic approaches to developing and delivering instruction using proven and efficient strategies. The workshop will particularly draw on Understanding by Design, the Experiential Learning Cycle, and Classroom Assessment Techniques frameworks. Clarify learning outcomes, implement engaging teaching techniques, and document evidence of your learners learning!

The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *Towards Repository Ecosystems* Repository systems are but one part of the ecosystem in 21st century research, and it is increasingly clear that no single repository will serve as the sole resource for its community. How can repositories best be positioned to offer complementary services in a network that includes research data management systems, institutional and discipline repositories, publishers, and the open Web? When should service providers build to fill identified niches, and where should they connect with related services? How might these networks offer services to support organizations that lack the resources to build their own, or researchers seeking to optimize their domain workflows? Examining how repositories best integrate into the holistic research flow; exploring ties between domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories; and understanding durable content strategies outside of traditional repository environments are the central themes of the Open Repositories 2014 conference. We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We're particularly interested in hearing about: * Unconventional approaches to repository-like services * Interconnection between publishers and repositories * Researcher-centered design for scholarly workflows * Adaptations to support curation lifecycle management, e.g., for research data * Real-world scalability and performance stories: working at web-scale, with big data for global usage * Requirements for holding restricted or classified data in repositories * Infrastructure to accommodate national and international mandates for data management and open access * Positioning repositories closer to (local, consortial, or cloud-based) cyberinfrastructure for data processing * Leveraging connections to external services including: * Remote identifier services (e.g., DOI, ORCID) * (Re-)using repository data/metadata in new and unexpected ways, including integrated discovery * Scholarly social media services, such as for annotation, review, comment, reputation, citation, and altmetrics * CRIS and research management systems * Digital preservation tools, services & infrastructure * Community and sustainability in an open world KEY DATES ? 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions ? 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference ? 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups ? 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS *Conference Papers and Panels* We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference?s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. *Interest Group Presentations* One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. *24x7 Presentation Proposals* We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. *"Repository Rants" 24x7 Block*. One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief expos?s that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. *Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"* We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn?t appropriate for a paper; you?ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. *Developer Challenge* Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. *Workshops and Tutorials* One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: ? The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey ? Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) ? How many attendees you plan to accommodate ? Technology and facility requirements ? Any other supplies or support required ? A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session ? Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors? names and affiliations in the submission. The conference system will be open for submissions by 16 December 2013, and is linked from the conference web site: http://or2014.helsinki.fi/ *Program Co-Chairs* Tom Cramer, Stanford University Mike Giarlo, Pennsylvania State University Simeon Warner, Cornell University contact: or-program-chair at googlegroups.com *Local Hosts* Helsinki University Library National Library of Finland contact: or-2014 at helsinki.fi *Social Media* #or2014 -- Carol Minton Morris DuraSpace Director of Marketing and Communications cmmorris at DuraSpace.org Skype: carolmintonmorris 607 592-3135 Twitter at DuraSpace Twitter at DuraCloud http://DuraSpace.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ray has consistently been one of the top-rated PASIG presenters on tiered storage and related storage standards. Now as an independent consultant, Ray will be offering deep, practical advice from his years of experience developing architectures for tiered storage for preservation. PASIG Webinar: The Essential Elements Of Intelligently Managed Tiered Storage Infrastructures Webinar Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013, 11:30am-12:30pm (EST) http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-PASIG-11-21-2013-register.h tml Various concepts and applications of tiered storage have been employed for over 20 years. First in the mainframe space and later in the open system space. During the past 20 years, the prevalence of the open systems enterprises have grown along with the explosive growth of unstructured data, with requirements for that data to be preserved, in many cases indefinitely, yet remain readily accessible. The tiered storage model provides benefits of lower overall cost, lower energy, and lower floor space requirements. However, maximum environmental impact and ROI will now be achieved through expanded use of cloud technologies and intelligent tiered storage management. This talk will focus on the essential elements of successful intelligent tiered storage management, in the context of long-term digital information retention and preservation. Presenter Biography Raymond A. Clarke is a lecturer and consultant with expertise spanning twenty-five+ years in storage management, performance, capacity planning and architecting storage infrastructure solutions. Ray helped develop the Storage Network Industry (SNIA) Data Management Forum and served on the forum's board of directors at its inception. Ray held several positions focused on technical storage solutions and long-term digital information archive and preservation solutions development with Sun Microsystems over a 15 year period. Most recently, Ray contributed to Oracle's Hardware and Engineered Systems Infrastructure Team, within the Enterprise Solutions Group as a Senior Enterprise Storage Solutions Consultant, with a focus on both field sales enablement and support and technical training. Ray has been a frequent and highly-rated PASIG speaker and has been a member of the PASIG steering committee since 2007.

Maybe their thinking has changed. We have an archeologist here at the U of Utah who put 10 years of research into a repository and developed a website to provide other researchers access. He wants all archeologists to follow his lead so the online data can eventually be used to compare communities, dig sites, etc. See www.utarp.org Daureen Data Curation Librarian The Faculty Center @ the Marriott Library ________________________________ From: Rdap [rdap-bounces at asis.org] on behalf of Konkiel, Stacy Rose [skonkiel at indiana.edu] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2013 6:42 PM To: 'Research Data, Access and Preservation' Subject: [Rdap] Requesting permission to make cultural heritage data OA All: I?m in talks with an archaeologist who is interested in making her data OA but is beholden to the restrictions of a national gov?t that gave her permission to conduct research in their country.

I believe my researcher knows Eric Kansa, though she didn't know OpenContext very well when we met. Upon exploring the site, she agrees that it is a great resource, but she is still at the stage where she needs to renegotiate the terms of her contract-the data she's already collected is covered by a contract that doesn't take OA into account. The country she is working within is one where archaeological objects are considered property of the national government, not the landowner or local community. There's tension because of that between the community in which she does her research and the gov, which grants her permission to conduct her research. Unfortunately, she's stuck in the middle. All of this is to say that she's in a difficult position to begin with, politically speaking, and that makes her hesitant to renegotiate her contract with the government to include Open Data, though she agrees that by opening up the data, it could raise the country's profile with respect to its cultural heritage. She (and I) are hoping to find examples where researchers successfully negotiated for the right to make data open. It's unclear from the OpenContext website how permissions were secured from local governments to make that data open. IPINCH (http://www.sfu.ca/ipinch/) doesn't seem to directly address this issue. I'll have my researcher touch base with Eric and Dr. Parker at UTARP to get example language they may have used in contracts to make their data OA, and will share that information if possible. In the meantime, if others know of already published reports or articles outlining this challenge (and how one can address it), I'd be grateful if they could share it here.

They also had a question of what would be the restrictions on data that's derived from the original data ... especially as it had implications for people to be able to peer-review their research, if the data that it's being based on isn't available to the reviewers or the wider community. -Joe From mooneyh at mail.lib.msu.edu Tue Nov 19 09:51:36 2013 From: mooneyh at mail.lib.msu.edu (Mooney, Hailey) Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 14:51:36 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Requesting permission to make cultural heritage data OA In-Reply-To: <94D6DEA28A662B43A1AA80EF50E4F62325CB7F31@IU-MSSG-MBX110.ads.iu.edu> References: <94D6DEA28A662B43A1AA80EF50E4F62325CB7F31@IU-MSSG-MBX110.ads.iu.edu> Message-ID: <876AC3322AEDF44CB7D8E61AE6C7AEB572C1813A@mailbox1.lib.msu.edu> Hi Stacy, Our copyright librarian is investigating our ability to make OA a research data collection from one of our faculty here that includes photographs and videos from 1990s Cuba. The jury is still out...I think that we may have to consult with university council. I am not aware of a robust discussion of these issues in the data management community. Have you talked with your resident copyright experts or put the question out to a copyright librarians list? This would indeed be a very careful conversation with the national government agency.

Has anyone else had experience with researchers requesting permission to "open up" their cultural heritage data after the fact, where they are bound by requirements of a national government?

The Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) is seeking a highly experienced and self-motivated individual to lead the new Office of Data and Informatics (ODI), at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The ODI will be a premier, pioneering resource for researchers and institutions in the Materials, Chemical, and Biological sciences who need to leverage both large and information-rich data sets now common in many disciplines; who are faced with challenges of handling, archiving, storage, and analysis of such data; and who would transform such data into products that can be reliably and broadly shared and used for sophisticated scientific endeavors. The ODI will support National needs such as the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and biological and chemical data integration, as well as modernize current NIST reference data services for use in state-of-the-art computer paradigms (i.e., virtual computing, parallel analysis, interoperability, semantic web, etc.) and support the development of next generation NIST reference data services. As a service-oriented organization, the ODI will add value to data activities by providing guidance, assistance and resources for optimizing the discoverability, usability, and interoperability of data products in ways that support NIST scientists and stakeholders. As a new position, the ODI Director will play many roles, including data steward for improving quality, evangelist for data sharing, technologist[TL1] , and strategic visionary for the creation of new data products. The Director will lead, manage resources, and conceive new programs and strategy for the ODI and the NIST Standard Reference Data Program. Although there are elements of responsibility for data infrastructure, the role of the ODI Director is not to run a data center. In addition to subject matter expertise in a traditional field of scientific study, ideal candidates will have training and experience with data science and delivery, combined with experience managing and sponsoring IT projects emphasizing scientific data, including web based applications, digital repositories, external collaboration with large data sets, and scientific database design and integration. In this position, the Director provides strategic vision and program direction for the new office of approximately eight staff members including Ph.D. scientists with backgrounds in the information, physical and bio sciences. The office has significant potential for growth and the ODI Director will be expected to develop a vision for supporting the burgeoning data needs of MML and of NIST as a whole.

My husband and I (Igor Katrayev and Yelena Katrayeva) are registered already for the meeting and both workshops, however, in order to work on further accommodations, I would like to know if I can book the Sheraton Hotel & Martina at the meeting rates in January for longer time than the meeting is supposed to be ending. In my specific case, I would like to stay in San Diego for a week after the meeting ends, unit following Sunday (04/06/2014). Moreover, I would like to get an approximate amount of the suggested discount to determine if there is a merit for me to start shopping for a hotel now or wait until January.
