Monday, April 3
Keynote, Victoria Stoddard, University of Illinois
Interest in the reproducibility of science, particularly in the reproducibility of computations associated with science.
I have seen Victoria give variations of this talk several times. She has a strong background (statistician), understands the issues and presents them well.
Why Scientists Don't Share Data
My observations of why scientists don't share. Talk is available on Figshare here: https://figshare.com/articles/Improving_Research_Data_Sharing_and_Reuse_Scientists_and_Repositories/3144739
Da|ra initiative
Leibniz institute for the social sciences, in Mannheim.
DDI data documentation initiative. Xml based metadata standard for describing social science data. Http://ddialliance.org. Persistent identifiers. Study and variable metadata (seems primitive)
Research data alliance?
Identifiers for instruments?
Relation to institutional repositories?
Doi for datasets. Organizational diagram. Da|ra identify, locate, cite data. Web interface and oai-mph service for harvesting metadata. Linking data with publications and authors. 32 metadata elements, some with sub. Properties (mapping to VIVO?) Have assigned 430K doi since 2010. 33K data sets. Moving to elastic search
Organizational identifiers
OCRiD, THOR, DataCite, CrossRef
Kick off meeting. Patricia dataCite. Laure Haak l.jaak@orcid.ord ORCiD. Geoffrey Bilder @gbilder. Was interim CEO of ORCiD
Thor 30 month project. Identifier community. How to align identifiers.. 2.1M ORCiD 422K have at least one work.. Cross ref 80M indexed DOI. DataCite 7M DOI
We have people (ORCiD) and works DOI. We need organization identifiers. Lots of candidates. Comprehensive, open, accessible, supported. Why “us”? We are willing to take it on, and we were smart. (ORCiD, CrossRef, Thor, dataCite)
Orcid -- direct to researchers. CrossRef -- publishers. Thor -- EU. DataCite -- libraries. Need Institutional perspective
Why now? Action needed, community ready, good understanding of requirements, energy and commitment exist.. Previous work from Casrai, Jose, miso, Odin, RDA and Thor. Illustrative use cases. Long list of requirements (some done first, some second). Do things that help. Then do more to help more.
First of two meetings -- next in Portland at Force16. Http://goo.gl/4eX0Ro
ORCiD principles. Trustworthy infrastructure in scholarly communication. Coverage. Governance. Sustainability. Insurance. Http://DOI.org/9wj
Orgs are hard: merge, split, aliases, die, sub orbs, affiliated orgs. Changing nature of research -- org needs to keep track of its work at full scale.
Driving use case is “Affiliations” of people to organizations (in a way accessible to researchers as they are disclosing their work in the publishing process)
[offer to help. Do the work]
Why not ISNI? OCLC is publishing a report this month. ISNI has 5M org identifiers
What is an organization? Find a useful answer for use cases
Who initiates org identifier? Two-way conversation between infrastructure and organization
Collaborate with in common?
Collaborate with DNS? Registration process in place for many organizations.

Open Science Framework for Institutions
Matt, COS
Http://osf.io 21,000 researchers, 25,000 projects.
Integrated. Shibboleth sign on.
Institutional. Landing pages
VIVO connected to OSF. How?
Open API to connect resources to Open Science Framework
Spoke with Matt -- too cumbersome for scientists. But open Api holds promise.
Closing Plenary
Todd, UCLA
Dangerous Collections -- archiving materials others don't want you to see
Links from Belgium bombing degrading at 20% per week
Protester materials in Egypt gone in several years
Lisa McCauley
Heather
Other observations
Lots of linked data
16x9 presentations
Common understanding of need for profiles
Moments and linked data fragments
