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!
Wir benötigen in der Forschung, und für ein qualitätsgerechtes Forschungsdatenmanagement, neue infrastrukturellen Dienste, die langfristig im Sinne von FAIR, sehr wichtig sind und die sich zum Teil erst weiter mit den wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken zusammen, etablieren. Universitätsbibliotheken sind oft PartnerInnen der forschungsnahen Dienste, sowohl lokal als auch global, wenn sie sich den neuen Themen öffnen.
In einer CoRDI 2023 Keynote in Karlsruhe im vergangenen September präsentierte Christine Borgman von der University of California, Los Angeles es so:
“Knowledge Infrastructures: The Invisible Foundation of Research Data Or, How Infrastructure Connects and Disconnects Research Communities”.
In diesem Einzelvortrag soll der Verbund Base4NFDI, insbesondere die Task Area 3, näher vorgestellt werden. Der Verbund der Basisdienste hatte im März 2023 seine Arbeit aufgenommen. Bei Base4NFDI geht es um NFDI-weite Basisdienste, die Effizienz sowie Nutzung der Services zum Forschungsdatenmanagement verbessern. Die Initiative ist eine gemeinsame aller NFDI-Konsortien. Institutionen aus der wissenschaftlichen Infrastrukturversorgung sowie aus allen großen Forschungsorganisationen in Deutschland sind aktiv bei Base4NFDI beteiligt. Die gesamte NFDI-Gemeinschaft ist Zielgruppe und arbeitet vernetzt zusammen:
“Base4NFDI is a joint initiative of all consortia within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) to foster and establish reliable NFDI-wide basic services. Therefore, various groups and individuals within the initiative are working together to build a network for the ongoing identification, support, development, operation and evaluation of NFDI-wide basic services.”
Task Area 3 etabliert den Prozessrahmen für die Auswahl und Entwicklung von Basisdiensten (transparente und nachvollziehbare Entscheidungsfindung zur Fortführung oder Einstellung von Dienstentwicklungen). Die Rolle der Bibliotheken bei Base4NFDI wird auch erörtert und abschließend diskutiert.
The National Library of the Czech Republic started collaborating with Wikipedia in 2006 by linking its authority records to corresponding Wikipedia articles. In 2014, the National Library and Wikimedia Czech Republic began working together to educate librarians and library users. Joint projects on linked data and the use of authority records in Wikidata followed. For these projects, it proved important to have the National Library's databases licensed under CC0. This was eventually achieved and from 2022 the National Library is making most of its databases available as open data under a CC0 license. In 2023, the National Library and Wikimedia Czech Republic signed a Memorandum of Collaboration and the National Library officially launched its Wikimedians in Residence Programme. This paper will present joint activities that benefit both organizations and especially their users.
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.
Wikipedia and Academic Libraries: A Global Project contains 19 chapters by 52 authors from Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, Scotland, Spain, and the United States. The chapters in this book are authored by both new and longtime members of the Wikimedia community, representing a range of experiences.
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.
Conferences are filled with discussion, presentations, and analysis of what catalogues and cataloguing will be in the future. Reports on the topic abound. Yet despite the arrival and implementation of RDA, and the strong attention being paid toward BIBFRAME, library cataloguing still looks essentially like it did when the earliest computer-based MARC cataloguing systems were implemented. So how do libraries truly embrace the lessons and technology from the information community outside of libraries, and evolve (perhaps revolutionize) our systems and processes to take advantage of what other communities are doing? A key place to start is people. This presentation will discuss what skills and competencies cataloguers of the future should have to lead progress, and postulate what future catalogues and cataloguing systems will look like. Be prepared: it´s likely to be pretty different. (Session: Treffpunkt Standardisierung: Fit für RDA; Raum: Sydney; 29. Mai 2015: 09:00 Uhr - 12:00 Uhr)
The cataloguing landscape for the British Library is changing at an ever-faster rate. After many years of acquiring and cataloguing its collections in UKMARC on a variety of bespoke unrelated systems, the British Library moved to MARC21 when it migrated from these systems to the Aleph Integrated Library System in 2004. This has facilitated the integration of our workflows and the integrated presentation of our catalogue data to the public via our Web OPAC. The standardisation obtained by MARC21 and the functionality of Aleph have also enabled us to obtain, enhance, and share bibliographic data much more effectively and efficiently, and on a much larger scale than before. We are attempting to enrich our data through a variety of means: - "traditional" means such as upgrading bibliographic records, converting card catalogues, correcting holdings information - Providing new ways to access our data by recently implementing the Ex Libris Primo search interface, investigating access to article-level content, digitisation projects, and so on. Primo will provide access in an integrated way to those collections already on Aleph and to collections which are not able to be represented on Aleph (e.g. manuscripts and recorded sound), and will facilitate the retrieval and display of materials not previously accessible via the Web OPAC (e.g. journal articles). The BL is also participating in the development of RDA: Resource Description and Access. The BL is currently developing plans to evaluate and test RDA in 2009-10, with a view to implementation during 2011. The realisation of benefits from RDA implementation will be constrained by existing system architectures. Our data must be sufficient to support these developments, in terms of record content, relationships between records, and links between the metadata and the actual content. The ever-increasing dependence on records from elsewhere introduces challenges for data interchange, especially as new standards such as RDA and new ways of expressing data (e.g. in XML formats) are implemented. There are interesting times ahead!
