Is it interoperability or is it integration?

Poster description:

For those not of a technical bent, there is a great deal of confusion surrounding the terms ‘interoperability’ and ‘integration’, especially when it comes to the exchange of information in ‘black-box’ systems. The average depositor of data doesn’t want (or need) to know how data and meta data move around a system as long as what they put in eventually gets to where it should be, in the form it should be and can be seen by the appropriate people. However, a basic understanding of the similarities and differences between ‘interoperable’ systems and ‘integrated’ systems and the pros and cons of each approach when it comes to depositing, preserving and discovering data will help users and administrators make informed decisions when it comes to the specification of data management systems, and will help inform their day-to-day data management practices. This poster is intended to highlight those similarities and differences, pros and cons.

Poster description:

In January 2020, researchers released the initial DNA sequence for the COVID-19 virus on Twitter, bypassing both traditional publication models and institutional open infrastructure in the interest of expediency. The
global pandemic has drawn open scientific publishing into the spotlight in the mainstream American press over the past year, and citizens outside the Western research community are gaining new exposure to longstanding scholarly communications debates about public health and open science. Unlike many aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, this is not “unprecedented”–freely accessible health information was also the impetus for the open access movement in Latin America years ahead of comparable efforts in the United States, and it continues with great success today. However, discussions of these platforms in USbased publications have centered on questions of prestige and functionality, rather than reach and stability- concepts that are rooted in imperialist, English-first thinking. This poster will highlight the early history of open access repositories in Latin America, their focus on regionally-produced scientific research rather than institutional efforts, the current state of these projects, and apply a critical lens to Western discourse about these projects and their impact.

Authors:

Wendy Walker

Poster description:

Like many institutions, the University of Montana’s institutional strategy includes a focus on the impact of faculty and student work. It is relatively easy to use quantitative data such as download counts, location information, and citations to help demonstrate the IR’s reach and impact; however, there are limits to using these numbers5, especially when attempting to understand impact outside an academic context. Could knowing more about how or why users use IR content address our own curiosity, help us understand the IR’s impact more completely, and help us contextualize and describe its impact more effectively than we can by reporting quantitative data alone? In April 2018 we added a link to the cover pages that are included with most of the downloadable items in our IR. The link directs users to a form where they can tell us how access to the IR item benefitted them. To date, we have received just over 200 responses. While we now know more about the wide range of uses of our IR content, we are still determining if/how to utilize this information to help demonstrate impact. Our initial evaluation has raised a host of new, useful questions that will inform next steps.

Poster description:

CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) has collaborated for the past 2 years with a widely distributed international community on the development of InvenioRDM, an extensible turn-key repository
solution. Differing metadata standards utilized for description and access across the globe have led to fertile discussions among team regarding the base data model to employ and field-specific controlled vocabularies. As discussions evinced the need to consider increasing stakeholder needs and requirements, it became clear that a dedicated group was needed to support systematic recording and discussion of partner requirements in order to reach decisions on the data model that could have a positive impact on all
adopters. A metadata interest group was formed, with membership open to all project stakeholders, and regular meetings set to discuss user needs, field-by-field. Discussions in this group have helped to reduce the boundaries between distributed stakeholders and bolster the repository community as a whole through a joint, democratic effort open to all, including technical and non-technical participants.

Authors:

Eric Olson

Poster description:

Enabling interoperability throughout the research lifecycle often aligns with or is a key component of the missions of open source tool providers. Even before the introduction of the FAIR framework, open source tools and infrastructure have emphasized opportunities to connect the systems and
workflows that researchers rely on so that research communication can be faster, more efficient, and more secure. OSF, like many of our friends in the open science infrastructure space, is strengthened both as a technical tool and as a ‘community of communities’ by integrations with other platforms and services. In this poster we will describe our product philosophy that emphasizes interoperability and meeting researchers where they are, while also discussing our experiences with partnership building across outstanding organizations and providers in research. We will also visualize current and upcoming integrations that strengthen both OSF and partner tools while also making it much easier for researchers to manage and collaborate across the research data, planning, and outcomes.

Poster description:

The archiving and dissemination of geophysical research data collected over Southern Africa, Antarctic research base (SANAE IV) and at the South African high latitude observatories on Marion Island and Gough Island, has until recently been fragmented and inaccessible to international researchers. At the Space Science Directorate of the South African National Space Agency (SANSA) in Hermanus we have implemented a scientific data portal called the South African National Geophysical Data and Instrumentation Management System (SANDIMS) which for the first time makes the geophysical data collected and used by SANSA available through a single data portal. Our aim is that the system will meet national and international obligations and expectations, as well as raise the standard of South African research. The system’s unique database will contain high-quality data from areas in space that, potentially, could supply information for unanswered scientific questions and enhance scientific development.  The paper will share insights from various topics including Data Policies, Licensing, Data Discovery and showcase tools for researchers and practitioners.

Poster description:

The AgEcon Search repository began as a way to leverage the Internet to provide a small-scale solution to a local problem. Launched in 1995 on a “home grown” platform, AgEcon Search has migrated to new
software three times and has grown into an unusually successful disciplinary repository. A small database with 50 papers from the Midwestern United States now hosts 155,000 documents in 15 languages, from 340 organizations in 50 countries on six continents. This growth has occurred with a tiny staff and at an extremely low cost due to an efficient operating model that relies on our member communities to upload
much of their own content. All of the papers in AgEcon Search are associated with an organization such as an academic department, research institute, professional society, or government agency that provides peer
review of some sort, an arrangement that guarantees quality at minimal cost.

Poster description:

The Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia (INC), a public tertiary referral cardiology centre located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aims to structure and organize all available institutional data into one single space that is easily accessible to its workers and also to the wider scientific community and
the general public. At present, these data are dispersed in different sources, with little accessibility and low safety. International experience suggests the most adequate way to preserve the institutional memory and to diffuse knowledge is through a structure called a repository. Technological tools make the creation of a repository easier nowadays. Our Project aims to structure the ATRIUM, INC’s institutional repository. The ATRIUM will store all relevant institutional data and allow members of the public safe and timely access to it.

Poster description:

Societal challenges require research contributions to solve them. Accordingly, societal impact assessment is an object of increasing interest in publicly funded research. Some countries have build elaborated national systems, applied on the level of research institutions. The approach of the SynSICRIS project (Synergies for Societal Impact in Current Research Information Systems) focuses on societal impact creation and assessment in research projects. Therefore, a repository/CRIS system is being built with additional entities related to societal impact and functionalities to record the information during funding processes. Our system is built upon the open source software DSpace-CRIS. The additional entities include process-oriented indicators that represent an increase in the likelihood of societal
impact. The additional functionalities, allow planning, documenting and structuring contributions of a project to societal impact via interfaces to build impact pathways and working plans.
