Hello! We love us some SWORD over in Dataverse land but in an upcoming workshop we're going to be brainstorming about the future of how users deposit data into our repository and we're considering alternatives or enhancements to SWORD.
I'm writing to invite everyone in the SWORD community to join us in this brainstorming. Ideally you'd show up in Boston in June for the workshop but more realistically we can have a nice discussion on this mailing list or wherever* you like! :) Things to think about: - Does SWORD do everything you need? - What are the pain points with SWORD, if any? - Can repositories agree on a common deposit API standard? (Have they already agreed on SWORD?) Please see the workshop announcement below (also at http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse-community-meeting/premeeting-workshop ) and slide 15 asking, "Should we extend the Repository API beyond SWORD?" from a recent talk: http://datascience.iq.harvard.edu/presentations/data-publishing-workflows-dataverse-0 Happy depositing! I'm curious what everyone thinks! Phil * I tend to prefer freenode IRC: http://community.dataverse.org/community-groups/api.html . Here's a public Google Doc for brainstorming: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vd5eLGhMqWB0R2_3jvprt5yZTDpaSev8cUOnCCK2hqQ/edit?usp=sharing p.s. Apologies if you received this email twice! The first version was in HTML and had an attachment and didn't show up in the archives so I'm trying again. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eleni Castro Date: Mon, May 4, 2015 at 4:11 PM Subject: [Dataverse-Users] Pre-Meeting Workshop: Common Models and APIs for Data Publishing and Citation (June 9) To: dataverse-commun...@googlegroups.com Hi Dataverse Community, On June 9, prior to the Dataverse Community Meeting (June 10-11), we are hosting the Common Models and APIs for Data Publishing and Citation Workshop at Harvard University, which is organized by Tim Clark, Sünje Dallmeier-Tiessen, Mercè Crosas and the Dataverse team. This workshop will focus on defining and improving standards for APIs, metadata profiles and workflows across repositories, publishers’ systems and other data services to achieve better interoperability (see agenda). The day will be divided into two main sessions: (1) the first half will be presentations on what has been done so far towards improving interoperability of data systems, which then will be followed by (2) an extensive panel discussion session, with active audience participation, on the main challenges of interoperability, and what the next steps are based on the different needs of the various stakeholder groups. By the end of this workshop, we aim to have a set of action items and recommendations for next steps on how we can best move towards common APIs and metadata so data repositories, publishers’ systems, and data services can better talk to each other. This event is free and open to all, including researchers, librarians, archivists, publishers, funders, and software developers. Space is limited, so if you haven't already registered for the Community Meeting, please register at your earliest convenience. A tentative agenda is listed below with specific questions that we would like all attendees of this workshop to review ahead of time and help us answer, so please let us know if you have any questions. --------- Common Models and APIs for Data Publishing and Citation Agenda (June 9) Morning session (moderator: Mercè Crosas) 9:00am-12:30pm - each talk is 30 min, with a short introduction by Mercè Question for Presenters: What are the current steps towards common APIs and metadata so data repositories, publishers’ systems, and data services (registrations, cataloging, discovering tools, research tools, ...) can talk to each other? 9:30-10:00am - Tim Clark - Data Citation Implementation guidelines 10:00-10:30am - John Kunze - Persistent Identifier services and their metadata 10:30-11:00am - Coffee break 11:00-11:30am - Debbie Lapeyre - Including Data in the Standardized Markup for Journal Articles (NISO JATS) 11:30am-12:00pm - Mark Wilkinson - Metadata Profiles for repositories: the Meta-metadata 12:00-12:30pm - Sünje Dallmeier-Tiessen - Common Data Publishing workflows 12:30-1:30pm - Lunch 1:30-1:45pm - Eleni Castro (or Elizabeth Quigley) and Phil Durbin - Towards a Common Deposit API (the Dataverse example) Panel Discussion (moderated by Sünje Dallmeier-Tiessen and Tim Clark) 2:00-4:30pm - 5 min each (no slides), with panelists representing various stakeholders: publishers, domain and general repositories, funding, researchers, and industry, followed by an open discussion with the audience. Questions for Panel Discussion: What do various stakeholders want/need from common APIs and metadata from repositories? What should be addressed next (as a follow up of the talks about what's currently being addressed)? Panelists: - Anita de Waard (publisher) - funder panelist (to be confirmed...) - repository panelist (to be confirmed...) - August Muench (research & publishing, astronomy) - Piotr Sliz (research, system biology) - industry panelist (to be confirmed...) Looking forward to seeing you all there.
