From swright at uw.edu Mon May 4 12:26:58 2015 From: swright at uw.edu (Stephanie Wright) Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 09:26:58 -0700 Subject: [Rdap] DataONE Webinar Registration Open: Provenance and DataONE - Facilitating Reproducible Science Message-ID: Apologies for cross-posting... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amber E Budden Date: Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 10:03 AM Subject: [team] DataONE Webinar Registration Open To: Dear DataONE Community The last webinar until our Fall season " Provenance and DataONE: Facilitating Reproducible Science" is now open for registration. *Tuesday May 12th9 am Pacific / 10 am Mountain / 11am Central / 12 noon Eastern* Please go to https://www.dataone.org/upcoming-webinar for full details (abstract below) *Provenance and DataONE: Facilitating Reproducible Science* Bertram Lud?scher, Chris Jones, Lauren Walker Provenance is a form of metadata that describes the lineage and processing history of data and knowledge artifacts and plays an important role in many scientific applications and use cases. For example, an ecologist might want to combine different datasets for a study, but needs to know how the candidate datasets were derived. A climate scientist might need to document the processing history of climate model outputs to facilitate reproducibility. A natural history collection manager might want to run automated data curation tools on specimen collection data, but has to understand the proposed ?repairs? before executing them. In all these and many other cases like these, provenance information plays a crucial role. In this webinar, we will first give an overview of the different types of provenance information and how they can be used, e.g., to facilitate reproducible science. We will show how a DataONE user can search and navigate provenance information using the new UI currently under development in DataONE. After this user-oriented view on provenance, we finally take a look ?behind the scenes? of the DataONE provenance technologies and present plans for future developments. -- Amber E Budden, PhD Director for Community Engagement and Outreach DataONE University of New Mexico 1312 Basehart SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 Tel: 505-814-1112 Cell: 505-205-7675 Fax: 505-246-6007 _______________________________________________ team mailing list team at dataone.org To unsubscribe or change your subscription, email support at dataone.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please note that Charlottetown is a beautiful place to visit in the summer. So beautiful, in fact, that a lot of other people will be visiting as well, so you should book your accommodations early. We have a list of recommendations, including budget-friendly on-campus housing at the conference venue, UPEI: http://islandora.ca/camps/conference2015/travel We have announced a series of two-hour workshops for Day Three and Four of the conference: http://islandora.ca/content/islandora-conference-proposed-workshops Day One and Two will be taken up with regular conference sessions, and we are extending the deadline for submissions. We are particularly interested in submissions for posters. Proposals will be accepted until May 15th and presenters will be notified soon afterwards. The theme of the conference is Community - the Islandora community, the community of people our institutions serve, the community of researchers and librarians and developers who work together to curate digital assets, and the community of open source projects that work together and in parallel. We are asking for your presentations, panels, and posters around this theme and welcome your interpretations of what "community" means to you. Please give us your contact details, a working title, and a brief synopsis of what you would like to present. We will allow for updates to reflect changes as your work develops, so just give us your best pitch with what you have now.

The VIVO Project is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of faculty and students providing an integrated view of the scholarly work of an organization. - *DOWNLOAD VIVO* v1.8 at http://vivoweb.org/download. - *MORE INFORMATION* about the features described below is available in the VIVO 1.8 Release Notes . *More modular architecture* The VIVO application is now partitioned into a main body and seven modules focusing on specific application-related functions including content persistence, application configuation, the search engine, the search indexer, reasoning functions related to the ontologies in VIVO, the system to store files such as uploaded images, and the tool to process uploaded images. The modules provide well-defined interfaces, encouraging alternative implementations from the VIVO community. *Performance improvements* The time required for a full re-inferencing of VIVO's content has been dramatically reduced and rebuilding the search index is also faster in v1.8, due largely to reduced memory usage. VIVO v1.8 also starts up in about half the time required by VIVO v1.7. *Interactive management of "faux" properties* VIVO v1.6 introduced the idea of faux properties, which provide improved specialization of property labeling and display on profile pages without adding new OWL properties to the VIVO-ISF. VIVO v1.8 includes new pages for viewing and managing faux properties interactively. *Individuals represented by VCards* VIVO v1.8 supports the practice of representing otherwise unidentified co-authors and other people external to the host institution using VCard information, rather than as FOAF persons with VIVO pages in their own right until further information about their identity is known. In this way, the data model is not overwhelmed by co-authors, co-investigators, and other persons who are incidental to the institution. *Triple store flexibility* VIVO can be configured to use several different types of triple stores, but as of this release has only been extensively tested in production environments with Jena SDB, which remains the default configuration. VIVO has an interface to a generic triple store that supports standard SPARQL query and update protocols, such as Jena TDB running either within the application or through an Apache Fuseki SPARQL endpoint. VIVO also has recently been confirmed to run on Virtuoso via a SPARQL endpoint, but again has not been extensively tested with that triplestore. *Added schema.org markup* The HTML markup in profile pages now includes "microdata" tags that are recognized by most popular search engines. These tags allow the search engine to easily extract structured data from VIVO, improving the appearance of search results. *A new customization guide* The VIVO documentation now includes a guide entitled Changing the appearance of VIVO. Much of this information was already available in the VIVO wiki. It has been curated, updated, and augmented with new customization techniques. This guide is available in the VIVO wiki, as a tree of 22 wiki pages. It is also included in the VIVO distribution, as a 118-page PDF document. *A new search index builder* The search indexer code has been re-written and re-designed, to make it more efficient, more maintainable, and more configurable. Most changes to the search index configuration can now be accomplished by changes to a runtime file. *Additional improvements* In addition to numerous bug fixes, changes were made to reduce duplication of CSS and JavaScript files, to improve display features and performance, to make VIVO compatible with Java 1.8, and to improve protection against cross-site scripting attacks and click-jacking. *GitHub committers who contributed to this release:* Nate Prewitt (University of Colorado) Graham Triggs, Alex Viggio (Symplectic) Ted Lawless (Brown University) Patrick McElwee (Duke University) Brian Lowe (Ontocale) Jim Blake, Huda Khan, Tim Worrall, Jon Corson-Rikert, Holly Mistlebauer (Cornell University) *Learn more at the VIVO Conference* There?s still time to take advantage of reduced early bird registration for the upcoming VIVO Conference that will be held in Boston, MA August 12-14, 2015. The program is designed to help you harness the full potential of research networking, discovery, and open research. - Workshops program available here - Register here *About VIVO* VIVO (http://vivoweb.org) is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of scholars.
