Libraries as Data-Centers for the Arts and Humanities SciDataCon, Denver, September 2016

Testing Libraries as Data Centers No worries, no ISO 9000 or ISO/IEC 30134-2:2016 But: FAIR Principles https://www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples Findable Accessible Interoperable Re-usable (Reproducible?) There is more Sustainable Resilient / Distributed Semantic „Aware“ [Anlass der Präsentation]

A simple example: DFG Digitization Programme A structured funding programme for print heritage, distributed in Germany Organized by centuries, mandatory guidleines, since several years   Titles Pages VD16 110.000 c. 14 Mio. VD17 295.000 c. 45 Mio. VD18 565.000 c. 90 Mio. May not sound overwhelming, but it represents huge assetts [Anlass der Präsentation]

A simple example: DFG Digitization Programme >> Findable F1. (meta)data are assigned a globally unique and eternally persistent identifier. F2. data are described with rich metadata. F3. (meta)data are registered or indexed in a searchable resource. F4. metadata specify the data identifier. [Anlass der Präsentation]

A simple example: DFG Digitization Programme >> Accesible A1 (meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol. A1.1 the protocol is open, free, and universally implementable. A1.2 the protocol allows for an authentication and authorization procedure, where necessary. A2 metadata are accessible, even when the data are no longer available. [Anlass der Präsentation]

A simple example: DFG Digitization Programme >> Interoperable I1. (meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. I2. (meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles. I3. (meta)data include qualified references to other (meta)data. [Anlass der Präsentation]

A simple example: DFG Digitization Programme >> Reusable R1. meta(data) have a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes. R1.1. (meta)data are released with a clear and accessible data usage license. R1.2. (meta)data are associated with their provenance. R1.3. (meta)data meet domain-relevant community standards.

Transcribed digitized images yield text corpora [Anlass der Präsentation]

e.g. highly structured text as TEI [Anlass der Präsentation]

Algorithmic Analysis allows use-cases

Dozens of use cases in Germany (and beyond) [Anlass der Präsentation]

[Anlass der Präsentation] Summary Libraries are ‚natural‘ data centers for research data management Libraries implement FAIR-Principles (even before their existence) Additionally libraries implement advanced data management principles Sustainability: institutions and funding already in place Resilience/Distribution: a culture of division of labour – nationally & internationally Semantic ‚aware‘: culture of content & people beyond the bits & bytes Research Infrastructures, e.g. DARIAH/TextGrid boost actual data re-use How to build Research Infrastructures for the Sciences in libraries?
