The document discusses the Data2Semantics project. It aims to build useful services and tools for data publishers that maintain provenance information and cater for the entire research cycle, including a feedback loop to new research. One use case presented is developing a VIVO installation to demonstrate collaboration within a research community and integrate project results with the collaboration network. Future work discussed includes improving metadata extraction, ingesting additional content, developing shared ontologies between installations, and implementing reward mechanisms for individual authors.

10. Key Points
• Build useful services and tools for data publishers ...
• ... that maintain provenance information ...
• ... and cater for the entire research cycle ...
• ... including a feedback loop to new research

11. One of our use cases ...

13. • Public-private research community
• Emphasis on applications of IT
• Emphasis on knowledge transfer
• 15 projects
• Collaboration with EIT ICT-Labs
http://www.eitictlabs.eu/
http://www.commit-nl.nl

14. Why VIVO?
• Demonstrate collaboration within COMMIT/
between projects (synergy), between organizations
• Integrate project results with collaboration network
shared publications, deliverables
Linked Data Rubik’s Cube by Duncan Hull

15. Why ?

16. Why ?
Most Dutch universities
Large companies
Government organizations

19. The Data
• COMMIT Website
http://www.commit-nl.nl
• All project plans (buzzword mining)
• All public deliverables (~200 per year)
• All participating persons (not just researchers)

20. “Pilot”
• Scraping
• Web Karma
http://bit.ly/WebKarma

25. Future Work
• Improve people scraper
first name, family name, affiliation
• Ingest other content
deliverables, plans etc.
• Shared ontology amongst Dutch VIVO installations
• Shared identifiers for researchers in NL (and VIVO)
ORCID, ResearcherID, Digital Author ID

26. Event
• Yearly event for all COMMIT people
• Tap into registration process to get detailed info
• Wireless sensor networks to capture “synergy”
• Prizes whatnot...

27. VIVO Pitfalls
• Very “institutional” perspective
• How to actively engage individual researchers?
Reward mechanisms, integrate with Web 2.0 practices...
http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html (2005)

28. Web 2.0
• Web applications generate your data
• Rich user experience
• You control your own data
• Immediate reward
• Quality increases by usage

46. • Lightweight Web Application
• Interface to API of existing data repositories
• Enrich metadata by linking to Linked Data resources
• Provide annotation services for data files
• Plugin based architecture
• Publish RDF metadata as new data publication
