openLandscapes is a proposal of 1 ‘openLandscapes’ The Knowledge Collection of Landscapes Science C. H. Henneberg, M. Puhlmann, J. Pilz, L. Laacke, C. Dalchow 28 March, 2015 Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Müncheberg, Germany

2 Introduction Landscape related sciences Characterised by broad interdisciplinary aspects Various domains of knowledge, e.g.: fundamental sciences, applied sciences, social sciences, land use and landscape planning Disciplines communicate current research activities and publish recent results separately. Consequence ‘Landscape science’ related knowledge is far- scattered Up to date information on landscape research is difficult to obtain even if it is freely available 28 March, 2015

3 Introduction All landscape researchers would benefit from a publicly available repository that provides... core information on landscape research, an interpreted terminology and a steadily expanding knowledge database, a possibility to search information on specific topics within the most important web sites in world wide web, access to open data. This we would like to achieve with openLandscapes. Content and structure of openLandscapes may allow defining the system boundaries of ‘landscape science’. 28 March, 2015

4 Introduction openLandscapes currently comprises the features: Projects Knowledge (→ publications & presentations) Competences (→ experts, institutions & networks) openLandscapes Wiki openLandscapes Search (→ thematic search) Knowledge and information are... well structured and clearly arranged, linked to keywords (term + scientific context), easy accessible. 28 March, 2015

12 Wiki Pages Aim Access to up to date knowledge of landscape related sciences (contents, concepts, definitions, relations) Wiki is organised in two categories: ‘Glossary Wiki’ › Specify and elaborate terms associated with scientific context, e.g.: Ecosystem services _(Landscape Ecology) › Link to definitions (drafts or published) › Link to relations between wiki pages ‘Essay Wiki’ › A resource for additional knowledge and further explanations or discussion of new ideas › Supplement the information given in ‘Glossary Wiki’ 28 March, 2015

19 Thematic Search: Open Data & Open Access 28 March, 2015

20 Data publishing framework (not yet implemented) Aim: To provide tools & support for publication of research data which are a fundamental base for research, cooperation and interdisciplinary communication. The data publishing framework shall … assist data providers in archiving and publishing research data, enhance data accessibility, encourage re-use of data. Key issues are: DOI implementation, data registration, data publication, bibliographical and core metadata, repository development. 28 March, 2015

21 Outlook IALE-D and ZALF have agreed to ensure system hosting, technical development and maintenance. openLandscapes will continue to promote open access in the field of landscape science. Future fields of activity: Functionality improvement Access to open data › Data publishing framework (DOI, primary data, metadata) Joint publications › Defined user group for each publication Community building › User group › Quality control group › Open data working group 28 March, 2015

22 Invitation We would like to extend an invitation to everybody to... visit openLandscapes sign in and add knowledge to openLandscapes take active part in quality control of openLandscapes give hints concerning functionality improvment join the ‘open data working group’ URL of openLandscapes: 28 March, 2015
