Exploration of a Data Landscape using a Collaborative Linked Data Framework.Laurent Alquier
The document discusses using a collaborative linked data framework to explore a data landscape. It describes how the framework helps scientists access and integrate disparate data sources to answer translational research questions. Key components of the framework include a semantic wiki for cataloging data sources, linking data concepts, querying across sources, and visualizing relationships between sources. The goal is to provide scientists with flexible tools to discover and leverage relevant data without needing expertise in data management.
- CrossCheck has rebranded to Crossref Similarity Check to provide clearer messaging and reduce confusion.
- The service checks documents against over 53 million papers from over 1200 publishers, as well as 105 million items from other sources and over 60 billion web pages.
- Over 1200 Crossref publishers and over 100 Brazilian publishers are using the service, with increasing usage in countries like Japan, South Korea, and Turkey.
- Publishers are looking to identify issues like poor references, self-plagiarism, unattributed use of others' works, and submitting others' works as their own through the similarity checking service.
Who is using your metadata - Ginny HendricksCrossref
The document discusses how Crossref metadata helps researchers find and track information. Crossref collects metadata like titles, authors, and references from publishers and makes it available via APIs and tools. Many organizations use this metadata for search, discovery, author profiling, and funding tracking. Crossref is working to expand the metadata to include items like funder IDs, licenses, and ORCID IDs. This additional metadata would help tools like collaborative writing platforms and open data repositories that integrate Crossref data.
Multiple Resolution and handling content available in multiple placesCrossref
The document discusses how Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) can be used to provide more context and connections between related scholarly works beyond just linking to an article. It describes how multiple resolution allows a DOI to resolve to multiple locations of the same content. Relations allow DOIs to link to other related works like cited articles, prior versions, or referenced data. The document advocates including these relationship connections in metadata to provide more context and allow systems to understand the connections between scholarly outputs.
This document discusses strategies for participating in Crossref's Cited-By linking service, which allows members to see references from other publications that cite their own journal articles. It outlines three ways for members to deposit reference lists with their article metadata to Crossref, and three strategies for retrieving cited-by data - periodically downloading new data and updating pages; downloading data once and enabling alerts; or retrieving data on-the-fly when users view cited-by results. The document provides examples of HTTP requests members can make to Crossref to deposit references and retrieve cited-by data using these different strategies.
RDAP 15: “This is just for me”: Researchers on their data documentation pract...ASIS&T
This document summarizes a panel discussion on researchers' data documentation practices. It finds that metadata is often not sufficient because data itself is messy and domain-specific. Researchers in different disciplines like chemistry, ecology, computer science, microbiology, and earth sciences approach documentation differently based on norms and needs within their fields. For example, chemists use numbering systems and documentation protocols while microbiologists emphasize keeping detailed lab notebooks. The document concludes more interviews are needed to better understand disciplinary practices and tailor library services accordingly.
The document discusses Crossref funding data, which standardizes funder names using the Open Funder Registry. It allows publishers to deposit funding metadata and enables large-scale analysis and reporting of funding data to funders. More information can be found on Crossref's website and API.

Presentation at the meeting on Measuring the Impact of Digital repositories (https://www.nitrd.gov/nitrdgroups/index.php?title=DigitalRepositories).
The document summarizes an evaluation of a federated search implementation at Booth Library, Eastern Illinois University. Key findings from analyzing search logs and user statistics over multiple years include: (1) users had significantly more searches and views of full records in native databases compared to the federated search, (2) databases interpreted search queries differently which impacted relevancy of results, (3) proper staffing, training, and statistics tracking are needed for a federated search to be effective. The evaluation highlights the reality that expectations often do not match actual user behaviors and search capabilities.
The document discusses annotating research resources with Resource Identification Initiative (RRID) identifiers to uniquely and consistently identify key resources like antibodies, software, and genetically modified animals across publications. It notes that currently researchers do not provide enough information to conclusively identify resources, making it difficult to determine what other studies used a particular resource. The RRID pilot project aims to have authors provide standard identifiers for resources to make them machine-readable, publicly accessible, and uniform. The document also covers annotating retrospective literature by attempting to assign RRIDs to resources based on descriptions and searching the RRID portal.

Making your content visible - Russell StannardJISC CETIS
The document discusses the use of open educational resources (OER) to market multimedia courses at the University of Westminster. It details the growth of a website called MMTV that provides lecture videos and notes from the courses. A survey found that while the site was not a primary factor for most students in choosing the program, it was seen as important in providing information about the courses and influenced some students' decisions. As more content was added to the site, more students cited it as a key factor or as having impacted their decision. The OER resources may be helping to increase enrollment numbers in the programs.

This document summarizes the Achieving Substantial Targets through Results Orientation (ASTRO) program, a gamified leadership development program for banking institutions. The 2-day program uses group exercises, videos, and simulated work projects to help participants recognize which results to focus on, find necessary resources, and consistently achieve demanding targets. Participants can expect to gain insights into results orientation, learn from high achievers, and create an action plan to apply lessons at work. The program is unique in its focus on work relevance, accountability, and learning transfer to ensure participants improve individual and team performance.
To appreciate the paradigm shift involved in the next generation search systems one needs to look back at the traditional approach to resource discovery and compare to the new trends. Here I focus on three aspects:
• Databases versus search engines
• Federated versus integrated search
• Integrated versus modular architecture.
The document discusses metadata repositories and their role in search and discovery. It provides examples of metadata repositories like library card catalogs and bibliographic databases. It describes how metadata repositories store metadata separately from content in order to standardize, share, and search metadata more easily. Commercial metadata repository products are also discussed, including their features and pricing.

Semantic Search Tutorial at SemTech 2012 Thanh Tran
This document provides an overview of a seminar on semantic search. It introduces the speakers, Peter Mika and Tran Duc Thanh, and outlines the agenda which includes introductions to semantic web data using the RDF data model, crawling and indexing RDF data, query processing, ranking results, and evaluating semantic search. It discusses why semantic search is needed to address queries that are not well solved by traditional search and provides examples. It also describes combining document retrieval with data retrieval from structured sources and how semantic search systems can incorporate different models and techniques.
his talk will feature some of my recent research into the alternative uses for Solr facets and facet metadata. I will develop the idea that facets can be used to discover similarities between items and attributes in a search index, and show some interesting applications of this idea. A common takeaway is that using facets and facet metadata in non-conventional ways enables the semantic context of a query to be automatically tuned. This has important implications for user-centric and semantically focused relevance.
Reflected Intelligence: Lucene/Solr as a self-learning data systemTrey Grainger
What if your search engine could automatically tune its own domain-specific relevancy model? What if it could learn the important phrases and topics within your domain, automatically identify alternate spellings (synonyms, acronyms, and related phrases) and disambiguate multiple meanings of those phrases, learn the conceptual relationships embedded within your documents, and even use machine-learned ranking to discover the relative importance of different features and then automatically optimize its own ranking algorithms for your domain?
In this presentation, you’ll learn you how to do just that - to evolving Lucene/Solr implementations into self-learning data systems which are able to accept user queries, deliver relevance-ranked results, and automatically learn from your users’ subsequent interactions to continually deliver a more relevant experience for each keyword, category, and group of users.
Such a self-learning system leverages reflected intelligence to consistently improve its understanding of the content (documents and queries), the context of specific users, and the relevance signals present in the collective feedback from every prior user interaction with the system. Come learn how to move beyond manual relevancy tuning and toward a closed-loop system leveraging both the embedded meaning within your content and the wisdom of the crowds to automatically generate search relevancy algorithms optimized for your domain.
Information retrieval (IR) is the process of searching for and retrieving relevant documents from a large collection based on a user's query. Key aspects of IR include:
- Representing documents and queries in a way that allows measuring their similarity, such as the vector space model.
- Ranking retrieved documents by relevance to the query using factors like term frequency and inverse document frequency.
- Allowing for similarity-based retrieval where documents similar to a given document are retrieved.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder
Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.

8. Use case - student Student on history course gets reading list from VLE. Selects an article and is offered, additional information about geographic locations and historical characters mention in the article, list of other articles by same author that have the same highly ranked keywords, other articles that commonly appear on reading lists with this article and books borrowed by students of similar profile with matched keywords.
9. Use case - depositor Researcher submits a paper for deposit in a repository. The PDF is analysed and keywords and classification suggested. File type and size are detected. Author and journal names are detected and checked and disambiguated against authoritative source. Page numbers and date of publication extracted. All these metadata fields completed automatically. Depositor puts paper into two “collections”. All references are identified and related to this paper.
10. Types of automatic metadata gen Automatic recognition and extraction services Key word extraction Automatic classification Basic facts (date, depositor, file type, file size, etc) Authoritative source services Name authority Journal title authority Translation services Conversion between metadata schemas Conversion between languages Metadata quality validation services Harvesting and validating metadata Activity aggregation services Usage (reading lists, library borrowing, search terms) Relationship services User-created collections Automatic term relation mapping (with “strength”)
