First Steps by the G20 Towards the Implementation of the Roadmap Adopted 7 April 2017 in Düsseldorf Berlin, 27 November 2017 First steps by the G20 towards the Implementation of the Roadmap Adopted 7 April 2017 in Düsseldorf 1. Improve world-wide access, adoption and effective use of digital technologies for all Country: Germany Responsibility: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy Initiative: The Digital Strategy 2025 programme The Digital Strategy 2025 programme demonstrates how the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy has been setting priorities in recent years, developing capabilities and using new tools to make a digitised Germany possi- ble. It outlines areas that require immediate action. The strategy focuses on ten steps toward the future: (1) creating a gigabit optical fibre network for Germany by 2025, (2) assisting start-ups and encouraging cooperation between young companies and established companies, (3) creating a regulatory framework for more investment and innovation, (4) encouraging “smart networks” in key commercial infrastructure areas of our economy, (5) strengthening data security and developing informational autonomy, (6) enabling new business models for SMEs, the skilled craft sector and ser- vices, (7) utilising Industry 4.0 to modernise Germany as a production location, (8) creating excellence in digital tech- nology research, development and innovation, (9) introducing digital education to all phases of life, and (10) creating a Digital Agency as a modern centre of excellence. The recommendations are intended not only to enable the German economy to respond to new challenges but also to ensure its leading position both in quality and technology for years to come, by combining traditional competitive advantages with the newest technology, modern methods and specific support programmes. In particular, its objective is to demonstrate that the era of isolated solutions must come to an end. Only by working across organisations, in a network, and in a concerted effort as a community and society, will we be able to find and implement answers to questions arising in the immediate future. Businesses, unions, the scientific community, the government and a motivated public are already developing approaches and projects for the digital transformation in Germany – for DE.DIGITAL. However, regarding digital infrastructure, future work opportunities, data security, future-oriented education and the legal framework, it is high time these aspects are addressed together and with goals in mind. This is a decisive imperative of a digital society – and the logical consequence is to create a connected, intergovernmental organisation – a Digital Agency. 1 Country: Argentina Responsibility: Ministry of Modernization/Ministry of Science and Technology/Ministry of Education Initiatives: 1. National Plan for Digital Inclusion (Digital Government) 2. Technology for disability 3. Educ.ar With the objective of boosting digital inclusion in every layer of the society, the government of Argentina has launched 3 main initiatives. Each initiative targets a different population group, traditionally excluded from the digital revolution. 1. National Plan for Digital Inclusion has the purpose of providing the necessary skills, motivation, and confi- dence to use new technologies, this initiative consists of a training program organized into several work streams, including: basic Internet use capabilities development course and professional development oriented courses. Professional development courses are focused on improving employability opportunities in Internet-related jobs. 2. Technology for people with disabilities. One of the goals of the National Program for Social Technologies and Innovation (PROCODAS by its Spanish acronym) is to promote social inclusion for people with disabilities. In accordance with the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and through technology devel- opment and implementation, this programs aims at achieving full and effective participation in society, on an equal basis with others. ●● PROCODAS - call ●● PROCODAS - program ●● Technologies for Inclusion 3. School connectivity and digitized management. Using information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve teaching and learning methods, this program provides Internet access to 48,028 public schools along the country, connecting 8 million students. educ.ar The Digital Elementary School program aims to promote digital literacy among children. In order to achieve that, the program trains teachers in the use of ICTs in the classroom at the same time that equips elementary schools with “mobile digital classrooms” (netbooks, wireless router, printer, projector, camera, digital board, etc.). Digital Elementary School Virtual training platform for directors and teachers is oriented to the continuous transformation of the peda- gogical practices of teachers, the virtual training platform offers pedagogical resources and courses related to classroom challenges. Country: Australia Responsibility: Department of Communications and the Arts/Department of Industry, Innovation and Science/ Geoscience Australia Initiatives: 1. The National Broadband Network and the Mobile Black Spot Program 2. Standards Australia participation in ISO and IEC 3. Open Data Cube 4. ANZLIC Foundation Spatial Data Framework 1. The Australian Government is removing barriers to participation in the digital economy by investing in commu- nications infrastructure, through the National Broadband Network (NBN) and Mobile Black Spot Program. Research conducted by the Department of Communications and the Arts in 2016 –17 indicates that for home 2 broadband services the rollout of the NBN is improving choice and reducing prices for regional consumers. The Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program works to expand reliable mobile phone coverage and competition in outer metropolitan, regional and remote communities. 2. The Department of Industry, Innovation and Science supports Standards Australia, our National Standards Body, participating and leading the development and adoption of international standards to improve the interoperability of technology and improve global access and use of technologies for all. 3. Every year, new Earth observation satellites are generating increasingly significant amounts of data with global coverage. The potential of this data for addressing environmental, economic and social challenges, at local, regional and global scales is enormous. However, even today, much of this data is underutilised. The Open Data Cube (ODC) initiative aims to increase the impact of satellite data by providing an open and freely accessible exploitation tool, and to foster a community to develop, sustain, and grow the breadth and depth of applications. The ODC initiative builds on technologies like the Australian Geoscience Data Cube. Geoscience Australia is now implementing the ODC in Australia under the Digital Earth Australia program and is a key partner in the ODC open source development. The ODC solution will support global priority agendas, such as those found in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris and Sendai Agreements. 4. Foundation spatial data is the authoritative geographic information that underpins, or can add significant value to, any other information; and supports evidence-based decisions across government, industry and the community. The Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) provides a common reference for the assembly and maintenance of Australian and New Zealand foundation-level spatial data in order to serve the widest possible variety of users. It delivers national coverage of the best available, current, authoritative foundation spatial data, which is standar- dised and quality controlled. Geoscience Australia has built FSDF-LINK, an information platform that provides users with access to foundation data and information about its governance, licensing, provenance and future state. Country: Brazil Responsibility: Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications (MCTIC), acting as coordinator for the entire Federal Government. Initiative: Brazilian Strategy for Digital Transformation The Brazilian Strategy for Digital Transformation recently submitted to public consultation and soon to be officially published, sets forth a set of strategic actions to boost national competitiveness and increase productivity within the next five years. This strategy focuses on nine key areas (or axes) for action. Five of these axes aim at providing an enabling environment for digital transformation, namely: (1) network infrastructure and Internet access, (2) research, development and innovation, (3) confidence and security in the digital environment, (4) education and vocational training, and (5) international issues. A second set of axes are at the core of the digital transformation: (6) a data driven economy, (7) a world of connected devices, (8) new business models and (9) digital transformation of government. For each axis, the strategy establishes a diagnostic of the status quo, a vision for the future, a set of strategic actions that will lead us to digital transformation, and a set of indicators to measure progress in achieving the goals. Country: Canada Responsibility: 1. Treasury Board Secretariat 2. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Initiatives: 1. Canadian Open Data Exchange (ODX) 2. Affordable Access 1. The Canadian Open Data Exchange (ODX) is a Public-Private Partnership between the Government of Canada, private sector, academic, and civil society, designed to

  • Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work Sums It up Very Well
    Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work sums it up very well. This book, the first of its kind, explains how IRs work and how to get the greatest re- sults from them. As many of us know, numerous IRs launched with high hopes have in fact languished with lackluster results. Faculty have little in- terest, and administrators see little promise. But the many chapter authors of this very well edited book have made their IRs successful, and here they share their techniques and successes. This is a necessary book for anyone contemplating starting an IR or looking to resurrect a moribund one.” — Richard W. Clement Dean, College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences University of New Mexico “This volume presents an interesting cross-section of approaches to in- stitutional repositories in the United States. Just about every view and its opposite makes an appearance. Readers will be able to draw their own con- clusions, depending on what they see as the primary purpose of IRs.” — Stevan Harnad Professor, University of Québec at Montréal & University of Southampton “Approaching this volume as one of ‘those of us who have been furiously working to cultivate thriving repositories,’ I am very excited about what this text represents. It is a broad compilation featuring the best and brightest writing on all the topics I’ve struggled to understand around re- positories, and it also marks a point when repository management and de- velopment is looking more and more like a core piece of research library work. Callicott, Scherer, and Wesolek have pulled together all the things I wished I’d been able to read in my first year as a scholarly communication librarian.

  • Will Sci-Hub Kill the Open Access Citation Advantage and (At Least for Now) Save Toll Access Journals?
    Will Sci-Hub Kill the Open Access Citation Advantage and (at least for now) Save Toll Access Journals? David W. Lewis October 2016 © 2016 David W. Lewis. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. Introduction It is a generally accepted fact that open access journal articles enjoy a citation advantage.1 This citation advantage results from the fact that open access journal articles are available to everyone in the word with an Internet collection. Thus, anyone with an interest in the work can find it and use it easily with no out-of-pocket cost. This use leads to citations. Articles in toll access journals on the other hand, are locked behind paywalls and are only available to those associated with institutions who can afford the subscription costs, or who are willing and able to purchase individual articles for $30 or more. There has always been some slippage in the toll access journal system because of informal sharing of articles. Authors will usually send copies of their work to those who ask and sometime post them on their websites even when this is not allowable under publisher’s agreements. Stevan Harnad and his colleagues proposed making this type of author sharing a standard semi-automated feature for closed articles in institutional repositories.2 The hashtag #ICanHazPDF can be used to broadcast a request for an article that an individual does not have access to.3 Increasingly, toll access articles are required by funder mandates to be made publically available, though usually after an embargo period.

  • Notes from the Interoperability Front: a Progress Report on the Open Archives Initiative
    Notes from the Interoperability Front: A Progress Report on the Open Archives Initiative Herbert Van de Sompel1, Carl Lagoze2 1Research Library, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM mailto:[email protected] 2Computing and Information Science, Cornell University Ithaca, NY USA 14850 [email protected] Abstract. The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was first released in January 2001. Since that time, the protocol has been adopted by a broad community and become the focus of a number of research and implementation projects. We describe the various activities building on the OAI-PMH since its first release. We then describe the activities and decisions leading up to the release of a stable Version 2 of the OAI-PMH. Finally, we describe the key features of OAI-PMH Version 2. 1 Introduction Over a year has passed since the first release of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH) in January 2001. During that period, the OAI- PMH has emerged as a practical foundation for digital library interoperability. The OAI-PMH supports interoperability via a relatively simple two-party model. At one end, data providers employ the OAI-PMH to expose structured data, metadata, in various forms. At the other end, service providers use the OAI-PMH to harvest the metadata from data providers and then subsequently automatically process it and add value in the form of services. While resource discovery is often mentioned as the exemplar service, other service possibilities include longevity and risk management [19], personalization [16], and current awareness. The general acceptance of the OAI-PMH is based on a number of factors.

    CITATION CLASSES1: A NOVEL INDICATOR BASE TO CLASSIFY SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT Wolfgang Glänzel*, Koenraad Debackere**, Bart Thijs**** * Wolfgang.Glä[email protected] Centre for R&D Monitoring (ECOOM) and Dept. MSI, KU Leuven, Leuven (Belgium) Department of Science Policy & Scientometrics, Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest (Hungary) ** [email protected] Centre for R&D Monitoring (ECOOM) and Dept. MSI, KU Leuven, Leuven (Belgium) *** [email protected] Centre for R&D Monitoring (ECOOM) and Dept. MSI, KU Leuven, Leuven (Belgium) Abstract In the present paper we present use cases and scenarios for a new assessment tool based on bibliometric data and indicators. The method, the application of which is illustrated at different levels of aggregation (national, institutional and individual researchers), aims at building on traditional indicators while stepping away from the linear ranking model and thus at providing enough space for a more differentiated analysis of published research results. The method proved statistically robust and insensitive to the influence of the otherwise commonly encountered database-related, communication- and subject-specific factors. This finding is a clear step forward in the use of bibliometric data for assessment and evaluation purposes, as often is a need of science policy. 1. Introduction: The need for multi-level profiling of excellence The conceptual background One of the objectives of previous studies (Glänzel, 2013a,b) was to analyse to what extent the high-end of citation impact as reflected by the tail of scientometric distributions is in line with the “standard” citation impact attracted by the majority of scientific papers and to what extent ‘outliers’ might be responsible for possible deviations and distortions of citation indicators.

  • Open Knowledge Foundation Joins Europeana Space
    This page was exported from - Digital meets Culture Export date: Fri Sep 24 11:54:13 2021 / +0000 GMT Open Knowledge Foundation joins Europeana Space by Lieke Ploeger and Marieke Guy, Open Knowledge Foundation Open Knowledge is a nonprofit organisation that promotes open knowledge, including open content and open data. Open Knowledge hosts over 20 working groups: domain-specific groups that focus on discussion and activity around a given area of open knowledge. OpenGLAM is an initiative run by Open Knowledge since 2012 for the promotion of open cultural content. The OpenGLAM working group is a global network of people who work to open up cultural data and content held by GLAM institutions. The OpenGLAM community provides documentation for cultural institutions wanting to open up their data and content and regularly organises events and workshops bringing together groups that are committed to building an open cultural commons. With such great OpenGLAM credentials it seemed natural for Open Knowledge to participate in the Europeana Space project to cooperate on WP3 ? The Content Space. Open Knowledge will be providing a ?Knowledge Base' on ?Open Content Exchange' known as the ?OpenContent Exchange Platform' for the Content Space. This platform will comprise of collated public domain and open content materials related to the value of digital public domain and best practices around open licensing. One particular area of focus will be the monetising of Europeana open content by creative industries and the challenges this poses related to IPR. The OpenContent Exchange Platform will help answer, in an accessible, user-friendly way, the question "What would those working in creative industries want to know or to happen to enable them to reuse Europeana content??.

  • Faculty Self-Archiving Practices: a Case Study Denise Troll Covey Principal Librarian for Special Projects, Carnegie Mellon
    Working Paper Faculty Self-Archiving Practices: A Case Study Denise Troll Covey Principal Librarian for Special Projects, Carnegie Mellon July 2008 Abstract. Faculty web pages were examined to learn about self-archiving practice at Carnegie Mellon. More faculty are self-archiving their work and more work is being self-archived than expected. However, the distribution of self-archiving activity across the disciplines is not as expected. More faculty self-archive journal articles than other publications, but more conference papers are self-archived than journal articles. Many faculty who self-archive have self-archived fewer than ten publications. A small number of faculty has self-archived most of the work that is available open access from faculty web pages. Significant differences in faculty behavior within departments cannot be explained by disciplinary culture. Introduction and Background The success of initiatives to incorporate free-to-read versions of scholarly publications in the digital library hinges on the participation of faculty authors. Authors must retain the right to self-archive their work or publish in open access journals. Despite the availability of publisher self-archiving policies and research confirming the impact advantage of open access in many disciplines,1 there is a broad gap between what could be available open access and what is available open access.2 Though profound differences in disciplinary culture suggest that providing open access to scholarly work might not inevitably become standard practice in all fields,3 a narrowing of the gap between opportunity and practice is likely, given educational initiatives to improve faculty understanding of access issues and copyrights, better tools and institutional support, and new public policies.

  • Comparing Repository Types
    COMPARING REPOSITORY TYPES. Challenges and barriers for subject-based repositories, research repositories, national repository systems and institutional repositories in serving scholarly communication Chris Armbruster, Max Planck Digital Library, Max Planck Society Invalidenstrasse 35, D-10115 Berlin - www.mpdl.mpg.de Executive Director, Research Network 1989 - www.cee-socialscience.net/1989 Laurent Romary, INRIA-Gemo & Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (Institut für Deutsche Sprache und Linguistik) Dorotheenstrasse 24, D-10117 Berlin - www.linguistik.hu-berlin.de/ Abstract After two decades of repository development, some conclusions may be drawn as to which type of repository and what kind of service best supports digital scholarly communication, and thus the production of new knowledge. Four types of publication repository may be distinguished, namely the subject-based repository, research repository, national repository system and institutional repository. Two important shifts in the role of repositories may be noted. With regard to content, a well-defined and high quality corpus is essential. This implies that repository services are likely to be most successful when constructed with the user and reader uppermost in mind. With regard to service, high value to specific scholarly communities is essential. This implies that repositories are likely to be most useful to scholars when they offer dedicated services supporting the production of new knowledge. Along these lines, challenges and barriers to repository development may be identified in three key dimensions: a) identification and deposit of content; b) access and use of services; and c) preservation of content and sustainability of service. An indicative comparison of challenges and barriers in some major world regions such as Europe, North America and East Asia plus Australia is offered in conclusion.
