  • File Synchronization As a Way to Add Quality Metadata to Research Data
    File Synchronization as a Way to Add Quality Metadata to Research Data Master Thesis - Master in Library and Information Science (MALIS) Faculty of Information Science and Communication Studies - Technische Hochschule Köln Presented by: Ubbo Veentjer on: September 27, 2016 to: Dr. Peter Kostädt (First Referee) Prof. Dr. Andreas Henrich (Second Referee) License: Creative-Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) Abstract Research data which is put into long term storage needs to have quality metadata attached so it may be found in the future. Metadata facilitates the reuse of data by third parties and makes it citable in new research contexts and for new research questions. However, better tools are needed to help the researchers add metadata and prepare their data for publication. These tools should integrate well in the existing research workflow of the scientists, to allow metadata enrichment even while they are creating, gathering or collecting the data. In this thesis an existing data publication tool from the project DARIAH-DE was connected to a proven file synchronization software to allow the researchers prepare the data from their personal computers and mobile devices and make it ready for publication. The goal of this thesis was to find out whether the use of file synchronization software eases the data publication process for the researchers. Forschungsadaten, die langfristig gespeichert werden sollen, benötigen qualitativ hochwertige Meta- daten um wiederauffindbar zu sein. Metadaten ermöglichen sowohl die Nachnutzung der Daten durch Dritte als auch die Zitation in neuen Forschungskontexten und unter neuen Forschungsfragen. Daher werden bessere Werkzeuge benötigt um den Forschenden bei der Metadatenvergabe und der Vorbereitung der Publikation zu unterstützen.

For the example, the base we will create will be another Clouder. Odoo installation This guide will not cover the Odoo installation in itself, we suggest you read the installation documentation on the official website. You can also, and it’s probably the easier way, use an Odoo Docker image like https://hub.docker.com/ _/odoo/ or https://hub.docker.com/r/tecnativa/odoo-base/ Due to the extensive use of ssh, Clouder is only compatible with Linux. Once your Odoo installation is ready, install the paramiko, erppeek and apache-libcloud python libraries (pip install paramiko erppeek apache-libcloud), download the OCA/Connector module on Github and the Clouder modules on Github and add them in your addons directory, then install the clouder module and clouder_template_odoo (this module will install a lot of template dependencies, like postgres, postfix etc...).

    Cloud Services for Synchronisation and Sharing (CS3) Book of Abstracts 28 - 30 January 2019 Roma, Italy https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2545482 Cover page photo by DAVID ILIFF. License: CC-BY-SA 3.0 Editor: Belinda Chan (CERN) Publication date: 2019-01-24 Introduction This is the "Book of Abstracts" of the 5th CS3 (Cloud Services for Synchronisation and Sharing) conference (28-30 January 2019, Rome). The 5th edition of this conference marks an important milestone and there are some reflections that we would like to share with you. Five years ago, the CS3 community simply did not exist. Cloud storage technologies were a convenient extension of traditional storage technologies. Universities, National Research and Education Networks, and Research Centres were all exploring this area by adopting solutions proposed by a few innovative emerging companies, many of them from Europe. Cloud storage was immediately a success: all the installations have grown by leaps and bounds as the number of active users and number of files per user increased. More importantly though, cloud storage has become a vital part of our day-by-day activities. This success triggered the need for reflection on scalability, data durability and overall sustainability – all of these areas are still progressing, as illustrated by the abstracts collected at this conference. At the time of the first conference, the actual potential was probably not entirely clear but the conference became the forum to exchange experiences and ideas, and to advance together in this new and exciting domain. Five years hence, and the understanding of cloud storage technology, its maturity and the extension of its usage is continuously increasing.

  • Diverted Derived Design
    Diverted Derived Design Table of Contents Introduction 0 Motivations 1 Licenses 2 Design (as a) process 3 Distributions 4 Economies 5 Propositions 6 This book 7 Glossary 8 2 Diverted Derived Design Introduction The term open source is becoming popular among product designers. We see websites and initiatives appear with a lot of good intentions but sometimes missing the point and often creating confusion. Design magazines and blogs are always rushing into calling an openly published creation open source but rarely question the licenses or provide schematics or design files to download. We are furniture designers, hackers and artists who have been working with free/libre and open source software for quite some time. For us, applying these prirciples to product design was a natural extension, providing new areas to explore. But we also realized that designers coming to this with no prior open source experience had a lot of information to grasp before getting a clear picture of what could be open source product design. So we set ourselves to mobilize our knowledge in this book. We hope that this tool can be a base for teaching and learning about open source product design; a collective understanding of what one should know today to get started and join the movement; a reference students, amateurs and educators can have in their back pocket when they go out to explain what they are passionate about. How to read this book We have divided this book in sections that make sense for us. Each of these tries to address what we think is a general question you might have about open source product design.

  • Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing Services for Educational Environments in Case of Disaster
    Ana Isabel Delgado-Domínguez - Walter Marcelo Fuertes-Díaz - Sandra Patricia Sánchez-Gor- don Enterprise file synchronization and sharing services for educational environments in case of disaster Servicios de sincronización y almacenamiento de archivos para entornos educativos en caso de desastre Serviços de sincronização e armazenamento de arquivos para ambientes educativos em caso de desastre Ana Isabel Delgado-Domínguez* Fecha de recepción: 1 de septiembre de 2017 Walter Marcelo Fuertes-Díaz** Fecha de aprobación: 2 de diciembre de 2017 Sandra Patricia Sánchez-Gordon*** Abstract Cloud computing is an emerging solution that responds to the concept of Smart University; it aims at offering an intelligent environment of business continuity for the actors of an educational center. This research offers a recovery plan of educational services in case of disaster, through an action research, which analyzed free software for cloud computing, focusing on Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS). To achieve this, the implementation was placed in a local scenario (Linux Apache, MySQL, PHP, LAMP), and stress tests were performed on three applications: Nextcloud, Seafile and Pydio. Nextcloud had more consistent and better results than the other two applications; however, it lacks a system that allows synchronizing two Nextcloud instances. To solve this, we developed a routine aimed at providing an environment that monitors the hot site where the application is hosted and, from time to time, synchronize the instance to avoid data loss during disaster events. Afterwards, we configured a second application on a cold site that is alert to a possible service breakdown, so it can respond and sent immediate alerts.
