From cmmorris at fedora-commons.org Wed Jul 2 10:48:40 2014 From: cmmorris at fedora-commons.org (Carol Minton Morris) Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 10:48:40 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] NOW AVAILABLE: VIVO Release 1.7 Message-ID: *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* July 2, 2014 Contact: Layne Johnson Read it online: http://bit.ly/1sXbXHE *VIVO Release 1.7 is Now Available!* *Key Features Include Enhanced ORCID Functionality and Simplified Data Handling* *Winchester, MA* The VIVO Project is pleased to announce the release of VIVO 1.7. The software can be installed by downloading either a zip or tar.gz file located on the download page at VIVOweb.org and deploying it to your web server for production use. Installation Instructions and an Upgrade Guide v1.6 to 1.7 are also available. VIVO is a DuraSpace project. The VIVO 1.7 release combines new features with improvements to existing features and services and continues to leverage the VIVO-Integrated Semantic Framework (VIVO-ISF) ontology introduced in VIVO 1.6. No data migration or changes to local data ingest procedures, visualization, or analysis tools drawing directly on VIVO data will be required to upgrade to VIVO 1.7. VIVO 1.7 notably includes the results of an ORCID Adoption and Integration Grant to support the creation and verification of ORCID iDs. VIVO now offers the opportunity for a researcher to add and/or confirm his or her global, unique researcher identifier directly with ORCID without the necessity of applying through other channels and re-typing the 16-digit ORCID identifier. We anticipate that this facility will help promote ORCID iDs more widely and expand adoption for the benefit of the entire research community. VIVO 1.7 also incorporates several updates to key software libraries in VIVO, including the Apache Jena libraries that provide the default VIVO triple store from Jena 2.6.4 to Jena 2.10.1. This Jena upgrade does require existing VIVO sites to run an automated migration procedure for user accounts prior to upgrading VIVO itself. The Apache Solr search library used by VIVO has been updated to Solr 4.7.2 and the programming interface to Solr has been modularized to allow substitution of alternative search indexing libraries to benefit from specific desired features. The SPARQL web services introduced in VIVO 1.6 have been extended to support full read-write capability and content negotiation through a single interface. The ability to export or "dump" the entire VIVO knowledge base for analysis by external tools has also been improved to scale better with triple store size, as has the ability to request lists of RDF by type to facilitate linked data applications. The VIVO 1.7 release also reflects feedback from the VIVO Leadership Group requesting a predictable pattern of one minor release and one major release each year. We anticipate releases in late spring/early summer and again in late fall to help adopters plan for release schedules and new features, and anticipate any changes that may affect local data ingest processes, visualizations, reporting, and/or data analysis. *Learn More at the VIVO Conference* There?s still time to register for the upcoming VIVO Conference that will be held in Austin, TX August 6-8, 2014. The program is designed to help you harness the full potential of research networking, discovery, and open research. ?* Program available here * ?* Register here * *How Does DuraSpace Help?* VIVO is a DuraSpace project.

As a phenomenon and discipline developed only in the past several years, Big Data can be described as the collection, manipulation, and analysis of massive amounts of data?and the decisions made from that analysis. According to the *New York Times*, Big Data ?is the shorthand label for the phenomenon, which embraces technology, decision-making and public policy?. First, it is a bundle of technologies. Second, it is a potential revolution in measurement. And third, it is a point of view, or philosophy, about how decisions will be?and perhaps should be?made in the future.? Moreover, Big Data is affecting and will affect almost all fields of study, from criminology to philosophy, business, government, transportation, energy, genetics, medicine, physics, and more. As we tackle Big Data in this proposed encyclopedia, we objectively report on the negative effects of loss of privacy, surveillance, and possible misuse of data in trade-offs for security. On the other hand, it is Big Data that is helping us to peer into the human genome for invaluable medical insights, or to reach deep across the universe, discovering planets much like our own. Our mission with this encyclopedia is to capture the Big Data phenomenon and make it accessible to students examining the philosophy of decision-making; exploring the measurement revolution; studying the technology; and considering the potential, both for good and ill. The encyclopedia features approximately 850 entries organized A-Z across multiple volumes. The encyclopedia will be available in a choice of electronic or print formats. Each 1,000- to 4,000-word article will be signed by the contributor. The General Editors, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, are Drs. Laurie A. Schintler and Connie L. McNeely, George Mason University. We are currently making assignments with a deadline of September 1, 2014. If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, redefining sociological issues in today?s terms. Moreover, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more. The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and Submission Guidelines and a sample article will be provided that detail article specifications. If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference with *The SAGE Encyclopedia of Big Data*, please contact me by the e-mail information below. Please provide your CV or a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in related disciplines.

We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system. The title of the survey is "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey." For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, "description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]". Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc. Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the "intellectual output of an institution [2]". The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences. If your institution meets these parameters, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for or obtain any personally identifying information. You can access the survey here: https://uiuc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3aw56frpWbGLlgV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (information provided below). We look forward to seeing your responses and sharing the results of our research. Thank you.

We have CAT scans and photos coming in to deposited in our IR. Photos were taken by the researcher. CAT scans were taken by various labs and provided to the researcher for their use in researcher. Some of the scans were done at the Univ of Utah. How have you handled the copyright question? Data is not copyrighted, but these are images and I'm being told may fall under copyright. For the photo example I'm assuming that the researcher owns CR because he took the photos as part of an NSF grant. Daureen Daureen Nesdill MS, MLIS -Data Curation Librarian The Faculty Center @ J.

I'm actually attempting to determine if I can start a collection of these scans from across the country so threatened and endangered species do not have to be rescanned. We have scanning facilities on campus that scan zoo animals when needed for health reasons. Daureen From: Rinehart, Amanda K. [mailto:rinehart.64 at osu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 12:14 PM To: Daureen Nesdill Subject: FW: copyright and data Daureen, I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but I'd love to know what others answer. We run into this sort of thing quite a bit and haven't yet come to a consensus on it. My additional concerns for this type of data are: 1) Is it personal health information pulled from medical files, and if so, is it subject to HIPAA? 2) It was definitely a human subject initially - does the IRB data section specify whether this will be shared or not? And, 3) Could it be considered personally identifiable information (not knowing that much about CT scans, does it seem like you could identify someone with this photo? This topic comes up with the sharing of DNA samples sometimes.)? When I do run into something as sticky as this, I usually send it to our legal department and eventually an answer comes back, but there is often a lot of speculation about whether the answer can be generalized. I'd love to know what others do. Thank you for posing the question - it's nice to know I'm not the only one!
