Dear colleagues,
See the SONEX blog, http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/, for
information on recent activities on repository-related interoperability
by the SONEX (Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange) workgroup
during last week.
On Sep 9th the paper 'Handling Repository-Related Interoperability
Issues: The Sonex Workgroup' was presented at the 2nd DL.org workshop
held at the University of Glasgow in conjunction with the 14th European
Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL'2010). This paper summarizes the
SONEX work on identification and analysis of deposit opportunities for
ingest of research output into repositories, and ongoing projects
implementing such use-cases, as performed along last year. Like the
rest of presentations at the DL.org workshop, the SONEX paper will
shortly be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes for Computer
Science, and it's already available online at:
http://e-archivo.uc3m.es/handle/10016/9257
The day before this presentation was delivered, SONEX was also part of
a meeting held in London by the JISC-supported Kultur workgroup on
their future development of the Kultivate project (see abstract for
'Kultivating Kultur' presentation by Carlos Silva et al at EPrints User
Group along OR10 last July in:
http://or2010.fecyt.es/Resources/documentos/eprints/KultivatingKultur.pdf).
William Nixon, from the University of Glasgow, and Richard Jones, from
Symplectic Ltd and SONEX, were delivering invited talks on the Enrich
project (WN) and on Symplectic Repository Tools, Sword protocol and
opportunities for Kultur/Kultivate interaction with SONEX (RJ). In
terms of SONEX analysis, the main challenge posed by the
Kultur/Kultivate project, arising from the Creative and Applied Arts
environment, is the specific nature of both their research output and
publishing lifecycle, and they way those should engage with current
analysis on deposit opportunities by the Sonex workgroup.
Best wishes,
Pablo de Castro,
