CLARIN. The infrastructure for language resources

CLARIN, the "Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure", has established itself as a major player in the field of research infrastructures for the humanities. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the organization, its members, its goals and its functioning, as well as of the tools and resources hosted by the infrastructure. The many contributors representing various fields, from computer science to law to psychology, analyse a wide range of topics, such as the technology behind the CLARIN infrastructure, the use of CLARIN resources in diverse research projects, the achievements of selected national CLARIN consortia, and the challenges that CLARIN has faced and will face in the future. The book will be published in 2022, 10 years after the establishment of CLARIN as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium by the European Commission (Decision 2012/136/EU)

Study on open science: The general state of the play in Open Science principles and practices at European life sciences institutes

Nowadays, open science is a hot topic on all levels and also is one of the priorities of the European Research Area. Components that are commonly associated with open science are open access, open data, open methodology, open source, open peer review, open science policies and citizen science. Open science may a great potential to connect and influence the practices of researchers, funding institutions and the public. In this paper, we evaluate the level of openness based on public surveys at four European life sciences institute

Models for collaborative engagement in the recovery and preservation of Maltese folk music (seeking new media practices to preserve and disseminate endangered musical genres)

The research focuses on the recovery and preservation of an endangered European music genre that, as intangible heritage, is threatened by a lack of political will to implement a planned strategy in order to establish a national audiovisual archive and fulfill international cultural obligations. In addition to safeguarding intangible heritage, as a facet of collective memory within a digital repository and through the use of new media technology, a model will be proposed, though not necessarily institutional, which may provide a stimulus for its revitalisation and continuity. This study emphasises on Maltese folk music and the important recovery by this author of a substantial magnetic tape open reel collection from the 1957-1988 era. Enthusiasts term this period as the golden age of this genre. The research draws from models of open source collaborative engagement, digital audiovisual practices and new media dissemination to fill this existing black hole in national archiving. With prime folksingers passing away, unique recordings in analog magnetic tape reels and other formats deteriorating, a proposal to address this scenario becomes all the more urgent. Since this musical genre is still active in Malta and no designated repository exists as of yet, new digitally-created folk recordings are also remaining orphaned, and the amount of retrospective material that shall need eventual recovery is ever-increasing.These tangible results attained by this author will be presented throughout the proposed model, based on various examples, including strands of DIY archiving and online collaboration. It shall also prove that the small nucleus of enthusiast archivists can, with a limited budget, apply the successful workings within it to other endangered musical genres, through trusted long-term preservation plans and use of new media in its many different facets as a tool that prolongs their continuity

Divergence in Architectural Research

ConCave Ph.D. Symposium 2020: Divergence in Architectural Research, March 5-6, 2020, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.The essays in this volume have come together under the theme “Divergence in Architectural Research” and present a snapshot of Ph.D. research being conducted in over thirty architectural research institutions, representing fourteen countries around the world. These essays also provide a window into the presentations and discussions that took place March 5-6, 2020, during the ConCave Ph.D. Symposium “Divergence in Architectural Research,” under the auspices of the School of Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, Georgia. On a preliminary reading, the essays respond to the call of divergence by doing just that; they present the great diversity of research topics, methodologies, and practices currently found under the umbrella of “architectural research.” They inform inquiry within architectural programs and across disciplinary concentrations, and also point to the ways that the academy, research methodologies, and the design profession are evolving and encroaching upon one another, with the unspoken hope of encouraging new relationships, reconfiguring previous assumptions about the discipline, and interweaving research and practice
