ICOPER Project - Deliverable 4.3 ISURE: Recommendations for extending effective reuse, embodied in the ICOPER CD&R
The purpose of this document is to capture the ideas and recommendations, within and beyond the ICOPER community, concerning the reuse of learning content, including appropriate methodologies as well as established strategies for remixing and repurposing reusable resources. The overall remit of this work focuses on describing the key issues that are related to extending effective reuse embodied in such materials. The objective of this investigation, is to support the reuse of learning content whilst considering how it could be originally created and then adapted with that âreuseâ in mind. In these circumstances a survey on effective reuse best practices can often provide an insight into the main challenges and benefits involved in the process of creating, remixing and repurposing what we are now designating as Reusable Learning Content (RLC).
Several key issues are analysed in this report: Recommendations for extending effective reuse, building upon those described in the previous related deliverables 4.1 Content Development Methodologies and 4.2 Quality Control and Web 2.0 technologies. The findings of this current survey, however, provide further recommendations and strategies for using and developing this reusable learning content. In the spirit of âreuseâ, this work also aims to serve as a foundation for the many different stakeholders and users within, and beyond, the ICOPER community who are interested in reusing learning resources.
This report analyses a variety of information. Evidence has been gathered from a qualitative survey that has focused on the technical and pedagogical recommendations suggested by a Special Interest Group (SIG) on the most innovative practices with respect to new media content authors (for content authoring or modification) and course designers (for unit creation). This extended community includes a wider collection of OER specialists. This collected evidence, in the form of video and audio interviews, has also been represented as multimedia assets potentially helpful for learning and useful as learning content in the New Media Space (See section 4 for further details).
Section 2 of this report introduces the concept of reusable learning content and reusability. Section 3 discusses an application created by the ICOPER community to enhance the opportunities for developing reusable content. Section 4 of this report provides an overview of the methodology used for the qualitative survey. Section 5 presents a summary of thematic findings. Section 6 highlights a list of recommendations for effective reuse of educational content, which were derived from thematic analysis described in Appendix A. Finally, section 7 summarises the key outcomes of this work
The Evolution of myExperiment
The myExperiment social website for sharing scientific workflows, designed according to Web 2.0 principles, has grown to be the largest public repository of its kind. It is distinctive for its focus on sharing methods, its researcher-centric design and its facility to aggregate content into sharable 'research objects'. This evolution of myExperiment has occurred hand in hand with its users. myExperiment now supports Linked Data as a step toward our vision of the future research environment, which we categorise here as '3rd generation e-Research'
Open Science in Lattice Gauge Theory community
Open science aims to make scientific research processes, tools and results
accessible to all scientific communities, creating trust in science and
enabling digital competences to be realized in research, leading to increased
innovation. It provides standard and transparent pathways to conducting
research and fosters best practices for collecting, analysing, preserving,
sharing and reusing data, software, workflows and other outputs through
collaborative networks. Open Science appears to be becoming the norm with its
applications spanning throughout the whole research cycle of a project. The
importance of making Open Science a reality is nowadays reflected in funding
policies, research infrastructure and politics. In these proceedings we present
the basic Open Science principles explaining briefly best practices for
materialising Open Science. Subsequently, we present the results of the
landscaping survey of Open Science in the Lattice Gauge Theories community.
Finally, we provide directions in which the Lattice Gauge Theory community
could move in order to enhance Openness and FAIRness (Findability,
Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) in Science.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings of the 39th International Symposium

Easing the questioning of semantic biomedical data
Researchers have been using semantic technologies
as essential tools to structure knowledge. This is particularly
relevant in the biomedical domain, where large dataset are
continuously generated. Semantic technologies offer the ability
to describe data and to map and linking distributed repositories,
creating a network where the searching interface is a single entry
point. However, the increasing number of semantic data repositories
that are publicly available is creating new challenges related
to its exploration. Despite being human and machine-readable,
these technologies are much more challenging for end-users.
Querying services usually require mastering formal languages
and that knowledge is beyond the typical userâs expertise, being
a critical issue in adopting semantic web information systems. In
particular, the questioning of biomedical data presents specific
challenges for which there are still no mature proposals for
production environments. This paper presents a solution to
query biomedical semantic databases using natural language. The
system is at the intersection between semantic parsing and the
use of templates. It makes it possible to extract information in a
friendly way for users who are not experts in semantic queries.FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology

ECMs and Institutional Repositories. The Case for a Unified Enterprise Approach to Content Management
Universities are currently developing responses to manage the explosion of research
content. There is an expectation by these institutions as well as governments, funding
agencies and other stakeholders that research data will be well managed, available and
accessible to users as appropriate.
The large enterprise content management (ECM) platform vendors are evolving into
âinformation management frameworksâ. The ECM solutions being marketed by these
vendors are underpinned by content repositories, promising to manage all of the
enterpriseâs digital assets. One might logically question whether a university actually needs
separate institutional repositories (IR) systems and infrastructure such as DSpace, for
example, to manage research data. If these new enterprise solutions overcome the historical
shortcomings traditionally associated with research content, then what is the future of the
IR? The implementation of SharePoint along with new research data services at Griffith
University has been a catalyst for beginning to question some of the fundamental paradigms
which have underpinned the current thinking about an enterprise approach to research
infrastructure and the role of research repositories.
Having conducted a literature review, the authors outline the roles of enterprise content
management systems and institutional repositories in the context of strategies, processes,
and technologies rather than as single products. The focus is on architecture and a
management approach rather than technological solutions.
This paper explores the synergies between institutional repositories and enterprise content
management systems and how research content would fit within the traditional enterprise
content management system model. It concludes that there are major benefits in taking a
unified enterprise approach to managing research content within a university
