A Web‐based resource model for scholarship 2.0: object reuse & exchange

Abstract

Digital scholarship offers the opportunity to move beyond the limitations of traditional scholarly publication. Rather than limiting scholarly communication to text-based static documents, the Web makes it possible for scholars to expose and share the full evidence of their research including data, images, video, and other genre of materials. These aggregations of evidence, or compound documents, can then be integrated into a linked data cloud, the basis of Scholarship 2.0-an open environment in which scholars collaborate and build new knowledge on the existing scholarship. We present Open Archives Initiative-Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE), a set of standards to identify and describe aggregations of Web Resources, thereby making the Scholarship 2.0 vision possible.

Refactoring HUBzero for linked data

“…In simple terms, OAI-ORE defines an Aggregation as a collection of web resources (Aggregated Resources), and each Aggregation includes a Resource Map that lists the contents of the Aggregation and additional metadata such as the relationship between an Aggregation and something else on the web. An Aggregation can include other Aggregations, resulting in a Nested Aggregation [4]. Applying this to HUBzero, its basic structural semantics can be captured by describing the entire hub as an Aggregation with hub resources grouped by type (e.g., seminars, tools, publications) as Nested Aggregations.…”

Exploring the Relevance of Europeana Digital Resources: Preliminary Ideas on Europeana Metadata Quality

“…This data exchange model has as its main objective to maintain original metadata as provided by the content providers, and to be a model with a wide semantic expression capability. It is based on the best practices of the Semantic Web, and is compatible with standards such as the Open Archives Initiative -Object Reuse and Exchange protocol (OAI-ORE) (Lagoze et al, 2007) for Internet resource sharing and interoperability.…”

Scientific communication in the digital age

“…The Budapest Open Access Initiative of February 14, 2002(Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2014, defined open access (OA) as "… free availability on the public Internet, permitting users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software or use them for any other lawful purpose …" The OA movement has triggered much broader changes in society, in general, and in science, in particular, than expected (Lagoze et al, 2012;Suber, 2012Suber, , 2014. Its benefits are now generally accepted, as more people have access to research findings and researchers get more citations of their articles.…”
