From cameron.cook at wisc.edu Wed Jul 1 13:00:26 2020 From: cameron.cook at wisc.edu (Cameron Cook) Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2020 17:00:26 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Reminder: MDLS 2020 Proposals due July 10 Message-ID: Midwest Data Librarian Symposium 2020 Reflection and Futures: 5 Years of MDLS and Data Librarianship Call for proposals The Midwest Data Librarian Symposium invites proposals for its first virtual symposium, taking place on October 14-16, 2020. The Midwest Data Librarian Symposium (MDLS) is an unconference for data and librarians. MDLS is intended to enable Midwestern librarians who work with research data management issues the chance to network; however, it is open to all who wish to attend, including data professionals and those situated outside the Midwest. MLDS 2020 will be a virtual event taking place over three afternoons. Given community feedback on the virtual nature of this year?s symposium, MDLS will look a bit more like a traditional conference, but will still deliver plenty of networking time and engaging content. The planning committee seeks submissions for presentations for session panels and lightning talks. We encourage presenters from any roles that support research data to apply. The planning committee also seeks community volunteers to serve as mentors, facilitators, and note-takers. Proposals are due by 5 pm CST on July 10, 2020. To submit a proposal: MDLS 2020 CFP Google form Session panels: Presenters will give a 15-minute presentation related to the panel theme, time for questions will be included at the end of the panel. Lightning talks: Presenters will give a 5-minute presentation related to the lightning talk theme, time for questions will be included at the end of the talks. Proposals should: ? Explore practical problems, advice, and experiences of data librarian work ? Be based on practical learning outcomes for both new and advanced professionals ? Provide clear take-aways for the audience ? Preference will be given to Midwestern institutions, early-career professionals, professionals from diverse backgrounds, and topics that address issues of diversity in the field. Successful applications will: ? Clearly articulate their topic, take-aways, and learning outcomes. ? Promote an accessible and inclusive experience. Panel Topics Data Librarianship in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences ? Case studies and practical applications of data librarianship in the arts, humanities, and social sciences - developing partnerships, services for these disciplines, and data concerns specific to these communities. Ethics ? In data sharing, building data collections, biases in data, data invisibility, supporting data work with diverse communities, ethical data visualization and communication, how we guide practitioners to make good ethical decisions, providing resources and educational opportunities, and working with sensitive data in a way that supports researchers and respects human subjects and communities. Infrastructure ? Infrastructure is critical to scalable services, so let?s talk about different frameworks and experiments in infrastructure. ? Please consider this broadly - across partnerships/collaborations, physical infrastructures, staff resources, and supporting research services across diverse campus groups and communities. Lightning talks Research and Service Continuity during COVID-19 ? Share your experiences and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. o How do you support service/research continuity while working remotely? o What gaps in services, infrastructure, or community support have been illuminated? o What new services or modes of delivery might we explore? Learning from Our Mistakes 2.0 ? It?s 2020 and as many conferences have said, hindsight is 20/20! o What have we learned in the last 5 years of MDLS? o Where did we start and where are we now? ? Let?s celebrate successes, learn from all our experiments and pilots, and generally share how awesome we?ve all been the last five years! Volunteers ? Mentor session for early-career data librarians (Call for mentors) o Given that we pulled back to a more traditional conference format due to our virtual environment, we wanted to be sure to build in networking and community time. o We?re looking for seasoned data librarians/information professionals to commit to meeting with 2-3 mentees for a 1-hour meeting/lunch during the conference. We?ll connect you based on interests/regions and some conversation starters. Your task will be to listen to questions/concerns and provide practical insight to our early-career colleagues and students. o Depending on response levels, we will do our best to include everyone, but may not be able to. ? Future of MDLS community (Call for facilitators and note takers) o We?re hoping to have a discussion about infrastructure and futures for MDLS to gain community insight and direction. o We are looking for folks willing to help facilitate break-out rooms as well as note-takers. ? Social activities o If you would like to lead a topic table, hackathon, virtual lunch/happy hour, or game night session, please provide your name and activity/topic. o Social activities are planned during lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM each conference day, as well as the last portion of the third conference day.

The initiative originated in September 2017 from informal discussions at a Fedora/Samvera camp in Oxford, UK. These discussions identified the need for a simple, non-proprietary, specified, open-standards approach to the layout of files for the purpose of preservation persistence. Subsequently, a kickoff community meeting attracted 47 attendees from 32 institutions, confirming the need and resulting in the establishment of the OCFL Editors team. The OCFL website at https://ocfl.io, includes the most up to date version of the specification (https://ocfl.io/1.0/spec) and implementation notes (https://ocfl.io/1.0/implementation-notes/) as well as the latest draft. The press release detailing the release of the OCFL version 1.0 can be found on the news section of the OCFL website.

Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is held annually as one of the three top venues for connecting digital library, computer science and library and information science communities. This year ICADL will be held online from November 30 to December 1, 2020 and according to Japan time zone. ICADL conference will also collaborate with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools) in this year. Many emerging research areas such as Digital Humanities, Open Sciences, Social Informatics originated from digital library research over the past decades, and it is essential that ICADL continues as a platform for scholars to connect and develop in these emerging as well as extant areas. ICADL 2020 is planned as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss together across domains for innovative digital information environment especially during a time of pandemic, upheavals in work, culture, health services and so on. An important feature of ICADL is the diversity of the Asia-Pacific region in many aspects - languages, cultures, social systems, development levels and technologies. This diversity will bring new ideas and thoughts to the participants. This year the conference will be held online same as many other related events due to COVID-19 pandemics. Presentations will be then performed online as well as they will be also recorded and disseminated later for open access by the community. There will be no attendance fee (for both the authors and non-authors), and only prior registration of the attendees and presenters information is required. The conference is free for anyone to attend! Proceedings of ICADL 2020 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, which is indexed by SCOPUS. In this call we invite Work-in-Progress papers. A Work-in-Progress paper is a concise report of preliminary findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work that does not necessarily reach a high level of completion but is relevant to the scope of ICADL2020.

The evolution of information and communications technology (ICT) in recent decades has facilitated improvements in science infrastructure, as well as in practices for preparing and managing data for potential reuse beyond the original data collection team, enabling transdisciplinary research, data integration, policy-development and decision-making. Data repositories, data centers, archives, and others have leveraged such improvements in ICT to meet challenges for creating systems that attain the Transparency, Responsibility, User Focus, Sustainability, and Technology (TRUST) demanded by their stakeholders and to offer capabilities for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data. This session offers presentations on how the research community is meeting the challenges for both TRUST and FAIR, and thus improving opportunities for current and long-term reuse of Earth and space science data. *Primary Convener:* - Robert Downs, Columbia University of New York, Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), Palisades NY *Co-conveners:* - Rorie Edmunds, World Data System of the International Science Council - H.

Some feedback we receive from researchers is that they don't necessarily want to duplicate raw files because the file(s) applies to multiple projects. They want to maintain a single copy and use it as needed. These are probably unique cases, as we have others who have multiple copies of the same files sprinkled here and there. We are trying to shift to a more project-centric focus. The idea is that project files will be packaged up from beginning to end in a single storage space - all raw and processed files, presentations, manuscripts, etc., unique to that specific project will be lumped together for reference. (Note: We use a content management system that will store the bulk of the files along with another database that is used to store some, but not all raw files associated with experiments.) If the same files apply to multiple projects, wouldn't it be ideal to maintain those files with those projects regardless of duplication? Is anyone dealing with this or have suggestions? We have discussed possibly linking these types of files across the projects (maintaining one master copy), but I'm curious to see if anyone has done this successfully, what it looked like and what tools were used. Where does the original file reside in these cases? Thanks.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, Jon, In my understanding, number one ethical (and legal) rule when dealing with human subject data would be protecting the subjects' privacy. In practice, that means *de-identifying the data*, i.e., stripping the data of any identifiers such as names, emails, addresses, SS numbers, ID numbers, date of birth, etc., and replacing them with unique research IDs. So that no one can locate or use the data for a specific individual in that dataset. (In my experience, this is done right away, even before data analyses, but definitely before sharing the data.) I would also consult the research study's *IRB approved protocol and informed consent *for additional data protections that were promised to the subjects. And then *health-related data* and information in general are under additional protections. If the IRB approved protocol doesn't cover them, then perhaps you could reach out to the data repository you are planning to use, and consult with them. Describe the type of data you have, and ask for their guidance on what else should be done to the data before it can be shared and reused. You could also find similar studies already in that data repository and see what they did. It's possible that some data would be restricted and not shared widely, or only shared by a special request by and a special arrangement with the researchers who want to reuse it. Again, the data repository should have more guidance on that. I hope that helps.

I can ask our IBC contact here on campus, but thought I'd ask the hivemind first :) Jon -- Jonathan Petters Ph.D. Assistant Director, Data Management & Curation Services Data Services, University Libraries Virginia Tech (540) 232-8682 https://lib.vt.edu/research-teaching/data-services.html ORCID: 0000-0002-0853-5814 _______________________________________________ RDAP mailing list RDAP at mail.kunverj.com http://mail.kunverj.com/mailman/listinfo/rdap -- Jonathan Petters Ph.D. Assistant Director, Data Management & Curation Services Data Services, University Libraries Virginia Tech (540) 232-8682 https://lib.vt.edu/research-teaching/data-services.html ORCID: 0000-0002-0853-5814 _______________________________________________ RDAP mailing list RDAP at mail.kunverj.com http://mail.kunverj.com/mailman/listinfo/rdap -- Abigail Goben, MLS abigailgoben at gmail.com http://HedgehogLibrarian.com _______________________________________________ RDAP mailing list RDAP at mail.kunverj.com http://mail.kunverj.com/mailman/listinfo/rdap -- Mx.

AIDR 2020 (Virtual): Artificial Intelligence for Data Discovery and Reuse at Carnegie Mellon University Message-ID: <51ebde5a406d4112b88baa9e06ac8222@andrew.cmu.edu> Hello RDAP, I am writing to share the following Save the Data for AIDR 2020, a virtual conference happening in October and hosted by Carnegie Mellon University, in conjunction with our 3rd annual Open Science Symposium. Please let me know if you have any questions about this conference! Save the Date AIDR 2020 Symposium: Artificial Intelligence for Data Discovery and Reuse October 19, 2020 In conjunction with Open Science Symposium October 20, 2020 AIDR aims to bring all stakeholders together to find innovative solutions to accelerate the dissemination and reuse of scientific data in the data revolution. Last year, supported by the NSF scientific data reuse initiative, the inaugural AIDR 2019 attracted AI/ML researchers, data and information professionals, scientists from a wide range of disciplines, and the technology industry, to share innovative AI tools, algorithms, and applications to make data more discoverable and reusable, and to discuss mutual challenges in data sharing and reuse. This year, we are following up with a one-day, virtual AIDR Symposium that provides a place for the community to continue having these conversations and work together to build a healthy data ecosystem. The program will feature invited speakers and panel discussions from a variety of disciplines including a focused session on COVID-19 data. Audience members are highly encouraged to join the conversation by submitting a poster, joining the panel discussions and virtual social hours, and connecting on Slack.

Apologies if folks have already seen this elsewhere. -Ann ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Huffman, John Date: Wed, Jul 29, 2020 at 1:51 PM Subject: [CaRCC people] COVID-19 Call to Action: eduroam Wi-Fi Access Point Map To: people-network at carcc.org Hello all, While all of us have completed our spring semesters, internet access remains a concern for students who may be taking online courses this summer. Access also may be needed in the future for students, depending on your institution?s current academic plans, as well as back-up plans, for the fall semester. We are all thinking of ways to allow our students, especially at risk students, to have access to secure Wi-Fi via eduroam in a safe and physically-distanced manner. We have been working with other institutions on a project to address this concern and invite you to participate. Today, there is a national map (https://www.incommon.org/eduroam/eduroam -u-s-locator-map/) of eduroam members. Currently, this map does not provide specific information that is relevant to students who are seeking secure Wi-Fi under continued and varying levels of restrictions in their home states. While restrictions are changing, there are still caps on the number of people who can convene in one location as well as required physical-distancing requirements in our classroom spaces which has driven many of us to consider online offerings. Also, with an anticipated, potential second wave of COVID-19, many institutions that plan to teach face to face may move courses online after Thanksgiving. Our vision is to create an expanded map that would provide students with clear and easily navigable directions about where to go on our campuses to access the eduroam service. As such, I am inviting you to join our effort to create a publicly available map that will indicate ?parking lot? locations for physically-distanced secure Wi-Fi access. Creating these ?parking lot? locations might require the installation of new wireless access points or the re-direction of existing wireless access points, as well as contribution to the eduroam Wi-Fi Access Point Map. Some may want to check with institutional leadership before contributing?but do please note that the eduroam agreement (through Internet2) already requires our institutions to allow all eduroam members to access the service at eduroam-enabled institutions. This defined approach may be a way to ensure that we provide that service in the safest manner possible. We are asking that voluntary participants add the following information: - Identify ?parking lot? locations at their institutions that can be accessed and used by eduroam participants - Verify that access is available along with any limitations, including hours of operation, etc. - Provide location information, rules and restrictions, duration of availability For those of you who have been providing safe, drive-up locations this spring, you know that only a small number of students take advantage of this access. However, those who do are those who are in most need of our assistance. Your participation could be the difference in a student?s ability to succeed this summer and possibly this fall. You may add your information the proposed map via the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHX-QxT9sALpjfEfd5SK1Iiz9jg5v_B31ZNLWwsjhiRFCFZg/viewform A point of contact for technical assistance is available on the form. To see the current map we are creating, go to https://wifi-map.hpc.udel.edu/ Please feel free to use this map when communicating available eduroam locations to your students, faculty and staff. Please join this effort! Feedback on how to organize the effort is appreciated. John *John N.
