In the research data life cycle, scientific repositories support scientists in publishing and validating datasets. The ecosystem of scientific data repositories (i.e. listed via re3data.org) consists of a large variety of available categories and types, including discipline specific, interdisciplinary and institutional ones, and mixtures thereof. With this heterogeneity comes large variation in terms of data and metadata standards, APIs, file formats, licenses, archival- and publication guidelines, terms of re-use, and others. This is also a reason why a search across multiple repositories is a time consuming task to be carried out by researchers who want to re-use data, but are unsure where to look for it.
The Leibniz Data Manager (LDM), accessible at https://service.tib.eu/ldmservice/ increases the availability and re-use of scientific digital objects and their metadata with the following features:
To search and explore research data across various repositoriesTo preview data in different interfaces, e.g. via tables, via audio-visual material like AutoCAD files or 2D and 3D data, or via live programming code (Jupyter Notebook(s)).To empower the semantic interoperability of metadata by mapping harvested metadata to DCAT format and providing RDF serializations.Allows the installation of customized and local LDM distributions with open source code through distribution in a docker container.In sum, LDM offers a simple, small-scale and open software distribution, which can connect digital repositories in a way such that datasets and other scientific objects will stay in their respective repositories, with LDM providing an integrated view of the data sets archived by these repositories. Scientists can understand the information contained in digital objects, strengthening, thus, scientific transparency by following the FAIR principles.
Bibliotheken und geisteswissenschaftliche Forschungen stehen seit jeher in einem engen Zusammenhang. Oft werden wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken aufgrund ihrer historischen, wertvollen Sammlungen als Labore für die Geisteswissenschaften verstanden und in Anspruch genommen. Im Zuge des digitalen Wandels haben sich die "Digital Humanities" als einerseits neues Forschungsfeld etabliert und andererseits zu einem dienste- und werkzeugbasiertem Instrumentarium für digitale Arbeitsverfahren in den Geisteswissenschaften entwickelt. Bibliothek und Wissenschaft treten dabei in Kooperationsszenarien ein, die Bibliotheken als aktive Player unmittelbar in Forschungsaktivitäten einbeziehen. Damit verbinden sich folgende Herausforderungen: · Welche Expertise- und Qualifizierungsvoraussetzungen sind für Bibliothkearinnen und Bibliothekare erforderlich, um Digital Humanists bei ihren Forschungsvorhaben zu unterstützen? · Welche organisatorischen und technischen Vorkehrungen müssen getroffen werden, um Digital Humanities in Bibliotheken zu ermöglichen? ·Welche Beispiele und Erfahrungen gibt es in Bibliotheken, um mit Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern zu kooperieren? · Welchen Stellenwert haben Digital Humanities für Bibliothken und weiteren Institutionen des kulturellen Erbes? · In welcher Weise werden DH-Aktivitäten durch internationale und nationale Infrastrukturdienste unterstützt?Diese und weitere Fragen sollen in einem Hands-On Lab im Rahmen eines World-Cafes mit folgenden deutschen und internationalen Expertinnen und Experten erörtert werden: · Miriam Blümm (SUB Göttingen) · Jan Brase (SUB Göttingen) · Sally Chambers (Ghent University) · Mike Mertens (DARIAH-EU) · Lotte Wilms (KNB of the Netherlands) Die Veranstaltung wird von Andreas Degkwitz (Humboldt-Universität) moderiert und soll bis 50 TeilnehmerInnen umfassen.
Relaunch of the Database Information System DBIS: Open Data, Local Views, Global Collaboration
(2024)
The German scientific landscape is becoming increasingly international, and with it the Database Information System (DBIS). As a result of the DFG-funded project, a modernized version will be released in 2024, in which English-language use and thus more international cooperation will be possible. DBIS is a digital reference tool developed by the University Library of Regensburg, which supports its users in selecting the academic databases they need for their research. Since its foundation over two decades ago, DBIS has grown into a supra-regional service. DBIS is currently being expanded and adapted to the new needs of the community of institutions, data exchange partners and end users (funded by the DFG -440516279). Several hundred libraries are working together openly, locally and globally according to the guiding principle of "quality through cooperation":
Open
The development of the new DBIS was designed to be open and the community was closely involved from the outset.
When the new version goes live, the metadata will be provided with a cc0 license. DBIS using institutions can also agree that their license data can be exchanged with other systems via the new REST API.
Local
Metadata in DBIS are currently and will continue to be maintained cooperatively by all participating libraries. This combines high data quality with labor savings for the individual institution. There is also a local view of an institution's database holdings. Libraries can place their corporate design, including the logo and main color.
Global
To ensure that DBIS can be made accessible to a more international community in the future, English as well as German user interfaces and administration tools are now available. Institutions from non-German-speaking countries such as the USA and Sweden have already shown interest in joining the DBIS community. DBIS offers international newbies the advantage of a large data pool - there are currently almost 7,000 freely accessible databases in DBIS!
Czech libraries have been digitizing historical and modern library collections since the mid-1990s. Approximately 4 million pages are digitized every single year. In 2017 the amendment to the Copyright Act of Czech republic was approved that allowed the National Library of the Czech Republic to conclude license agreements valid for all Czech libraries to publish so called works unavailable on the market on the internet. Subsequently in 2019, a five-year license agreement was concluded to guarantee free access to the books published in the Czech Republic by the end of 2007 and periodicals published by 2010. The payment of for this access licenses is paid from the state budget through the National Library of the Czech Republic, which allows to use these services to all libraries and their registered users to read the displayed documents. During the COVID pandemic situation, when libraries and bookstores were closed, even the full opening of the digital libraries was agreed including the latest publications. The service was freely available to the university students, teachers and researchers. Publishers received adequate financial compensation from the state budget to support such an important service. This paper is aimed to introduce the experience with all the process aspects, especially contractual security and the negotiations with collective copyright holders and publishers. The technical solutions is running on the basis of the Kramerius system, which is developed in the close cooperation of the Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the National Library of the Czech Republic and the Moravian Regional Library.
The presentation will argue that the cataloguing code RDA – Resource Description and Access is a tool for finally leaving cataloguing as we use to do in the card catalogue - even though we have had online catalogues for years - and that RDA is a step towards finally embracing the possibilities of online mediation of library resources. The presentation will include a short review of some the changes in the new version of RDA - both pros and cons. Also the presentation will argue that a successful adoption of RDA requires international perspective on the code as well as international cooperation in order to get a mutual understanding of the content, improve the content and make further development of the content in the direction of a truly international code – accepted, used and understood in many diverse libraries. The presentation will refer to EURIG – European RDA Interest Group – as an example of international cooperation.
DINI-zertifizierte Repositorien sind mit ihren standardisierten Metadaten und Schnittstellen eine wertvolle Quelle für Datenanalysen im Bereich des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens. Im Hands-On-Lab erlernen die Teilnehmenden von Mitgliedern der DINI-AG Elektronisches Publizieren, wie sie mit offenen Werkzeugen Metadaten aus diesen standardisierten Repositorien gewinnen und beispielsweise für statistische Analysen nachnutzen können.Das Hands-On-Lab beginnt mit einer kurzen Einführung in das DINI-Zertifikat und den zugrundeliegenden Kriterienkatalog mit besonderem Fokus auf die Anforderungen zu Metadaten und Schnittstellen. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer erarbeiten anschließend gemeinsam mit Mitgliedern der Arbeitsgruppe Fragestellungen und erproben offene Werkzeuge (Open Refine, Catmandu, R), mit denen sich Metadaten aus DINI-zertifizierten Repositorien für datengestützte Analysen gewinnen und aufbereiten lassen. Zum Abschluss der Veranstaltung werden die Teilnehmenden um Rückmeldung gebeten, welche konkrete Unterstützung zukünftig erwünscht ist, um die Nachnutzbarkeit von Metadaten aus DINI-zertifizierten Repositorien zu verbessern. Die Ergebnisse sollen auch in das DINI-Zertifikat 2019 einfließen, für das im März die RFC-Version vorliegen wird. Die Arbeiten im Lab werden nachvollziehbar dokumentiert und im Anschluss der Veranstaltung offen geteilt, so dass die Teilnahme auch ohne eigenen Laptop möglich ist. Das Hands-On-Lab wird von der DINI AG Elektronisches Publizieren veranstaltet.
Libraries play a pivotal role in advancing open science initiatives, serving as hubs for knowledge dissemination. However, communication strategies about open science support for the academic community are often shaped by policy rather than the input of the target audience and a focus on peer-to-peer communication. For this reason, the University of Groningen Library developed a dialogue-based communication approach: to gather input, build consensus, identify multipliers to convey the message, share best practices and let researchers speak for themselves.
In this presentation, we will explain our communication approach and highlight the key tools that help us engage in a dialogue with the academic community. Our Open Science Ambassadors at the university’s faculties provide valuable feedback on policies and services to be developed and serve as a thermometer within our community. We join forces with bottom-up initiatives such as the Open Science Community Groningen for collaborative efforts such as the lottery-based Open Research Award. The Open Science Blog and Open Science Bites podcast feature interviews with researchers sharing their views or hands-on tips for their peers, and through our recently established presence on Mastodon, we seek interaction with academia beyond the Groningen or even the Dutch community.
The collaborative decolonial project between the Catholic University Eichstatt and the University of Chile, carried out from 2020 to 2022, consisted of a trilingual digital re-edition of the manuscript “Ñizolke zugu Dios ñi nütxam pu Chilemapuche ñi zugun mew”. This book, published in 1903, represents a collaborative colonial translation of the German Compendium der Kurzen biblischen Geschichte für die unteren Schuljahre der katholischen Volksschule” that the Bavarian Capuchin father Félix José de Augusta worked out together with two evangelized Mapuche, José Francisco Kolün and Pascual Segundo Painemilla Ñamcucheu in the Araucanía (South Chile) in 1902. Father Augusta already arrived at the mission station Bajo Imperial in 1896, at a time when the internal colonization of the Mapuche had already taken place. The land reform of 1866 introduced so-called Títulos de Merced, land titles, that only recognized as 'effectively occupied' the ruca, the family orchards and the enclosure, whereas the ancient territories, that allowed the material and cultural survival of Mapuche families were given to colonists, basically from Chile and Germany. On one hand, the presentation aims to show to that digitization in Libraries can be helpful to make visible the traces of the colonial relations that influenced the translation of this missionary work. On the other hand, the presentation aims to explain the challenges of search indexing this newly assembled digital edition from several historical and contemporary archives.
