Spatial Discovery and the Research Library: Linking Research Datasets and Documents
Academic libraries have always supported research across disciplines by integrating access to diverse contents and resources. They now have the opportunity to reinvent their role in facilitating interdisciplinary work by offering researchers new ways of sharing, curating, discovering, and linking research data. Spatial data and metadata support this process because location often integrates disciplinary perspectives, enabling researchers to make their own research data more discoverable, to discover data of other researchers, and to integrate data from multiple sources. The Center for Spatial Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the UCSB Library are undertaking joint research to better enable the discovery of research data and publications. The research addresses the question of how to spatially enable data discovery in a setting that allows for mapping and analysis in a GIS while connecting the data to publications about them. It suggests a framework for an integrated data discovery mechanism and shows how publications may be linked to associated data sets exposed either directly or through metadata on Esri’s Open Data platform. The results demonstrate a simple form of linking data to publications through spatially referenced metadata and persistent identifiers. This linking adds value to research products and increases their discoverability across disciplinary boundaries. Current data publishing practices in academia result in datasets that are not easily discovered, hard to integrate across domains, and typically not linked to publications about them. For example, discovering that two datasets, such as archaeological observations and specimen data collections, share a spatial extent in Mesoamerica, is not currently supported, nor is it easy to get from those data sets to relevant publications or other documents. In our previous work, we had developed a basic linked metadata model relating spatially referenced datasets to documents. The research reported here applies the model to a collection of spatially referenced researcher datasets, capturing metadata and encoding them as linked open data. We use existing RDF vocabularies to triplify the metadata, to make them spatially explicit, and to link them thematically. Our latest research has produced a simple and extensible method for exposing metadata of research objects as a library service and for spatially integrating collections across repositories

Berdasarkan hasil analisis data diketahui penataan ruang perpustakaan memiliki hubungan yang sedang (0,515) dengan minat belajar siswa. Hasil pengujian hubungan penataan ruang perpustakaan dengan minat belajar siswa menunjukkan subvariabel perabot perpustakaan memiliki korelasi sedang (0,520), subvariabel pencahayaan dengan korelasi rendah (0,315), dan pewarnaan ruang perpustakaan memiliki korelasi sedang (0,448) dengan minat belajar siswa. Hasil analisis data disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara penataan ruang perpustakaan dengan minat belajar siswa di Perpustakaan SMA Negeri 3 Bandung.
the title of this research is “The Correlation Between Students’ Spatial Arrangement and Their Learning Interest at the Library (A Descriptive Correlation Study at SMA 3 Bandung’s Library)”. Skripsi, Education Technology and Library and Information Program, Curriculum and Educational Technology Department, Indonesian University of Education, Bandung 2014.
This research describes the correlation between SMA 3 Bandung students’ spatial arrangement and their learning interest at the library. Its aim is to find how high the correlation between this variable are. The method of this research is descriptive correlation research and use quantitative approachment. The resources of this research has been accumulated by using questionnaire. There are 92 individuals which have been collected by using simple random sampling. The resources have been measured by: 1) discovery descriptions, 2) validity and reliability trials, 3) normality of data trials, 4) hypothesis trials, 5) conclusion. The results of the correlation between students’ spatial arrangement and their learning interest at the library research have an average valuation. Results of the sub-variables: 1) furnishing has an average correlation, 2) lighting exposure has a low correlation, 3) library spatial coloration has an average correlation. The conclusions of the correlation between SMA 3 Bandung students’ spatial arrangement and their learning interest at the library research are positively and significantly correlated
A systematic review of protocol studies on conceptual design cognition: design as search and exploration
This paper reports findings from the first systematic review of protocol studies focusing specifically on conceptual design cognition, aiming to answer the following research question: What is our current understanding of the cognitive processes involved in conceptual design tasks carried out by individual designers? We reviewed 47 studies on architectural design, engineering design and product design engineering. This paper reports 24 cognitive processes investigated in a subset of 33 studies aligning with two viewpoints on the nature of designing: (V1) design as search (10 processes, 41.7%); and (V2) design as exploration (14 processes, 58.3%). Studies on search focused on solution search and problem structuring, involving: long-term memory retrieval; working memory; operators and reasoning processes. Studies on exploration investigated: co-evolutionary design; visual reasoning; cognitive actions; and unexpected discovery and situated requirements invention. Overall, considerable conceptual and terminological differences were observed among the studies. Nonetheless, a common focus on memory, semantic, associative, visual perceptual and mental imagery processes was observed to an extent. We suggest three challenges for future research to advance the field: (i) developing general models/theories; (ii) testing protocol study findings using objective methods conducive to larger samples and (iii) developing a shared ontology of cognitive processes in design

Digitizing mass spectrometry data to explore the chemical diversity and distribution of marine cyanobacteria and algae.
Natural product screening programs have uncovered molecules from diverse natural sources with various biological activities and unique structures. However, much is yet underexplored and additional information is hidden in these exceptional collections. We applied untargeted mass spectrometry approaches to capture the chemical space and dispersal patterns of metabolites from an in-house library of marine cyanobacterial and algal collections. Remarkably, 86% of the metabolomics signals detected were not found in other available datasets of similar nature, supporting the hypothesis that marine cyanobacteria and algae possess distinctive metabolomes. The data were plotted onto a world map representing eight major sampling sites, and revealed potential geographic locations with high chemical diversity. We demonstrate the use of these inventories as a tool to explore the diversity and distribution of natural products. Finally, we utilized this tool to guide the isolation of a new cyclic lipopeptide, yuvalamide A, from a marine cyanobacterium
Data-driven discovery of coordinates and governing equations
The discovery of governing equations from scientific data has the potential
to transform data-rich fields that lack well-characterized quantitative
descriptions. Advances in sparse regression are currently enabling the
tractable identification of both the structure and parameters of a nonlinear
dynamical system from data. The resulting models have the fewest terms
necessary to describe the dynamics, balancing model complexity with descriptive
ability, and thus promoting interpretability and generalizability. This
provides an algorithmic approach to Occam's razor for model discovery. However,
this approach fundamentally relies on an effective coordinate system in which
the dynamics have a simple representation. In this work, we design a custom
autoencoder to discover a coordinate transformation into a reduced space where
the dynamics may be sparsely represented. Thus, we simultaneously learn the
governing equations and the associated coordinate system. We demonstrate this
approach on several example high-dimensional dynamical systems with
low-dimensional behavior. The resulting modeling framework combines the
strengths of deep neural networks for flexible representation and sparse
identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) for parsimonious models. It is the
first method of its kind to place the discovery of coordinates and models on an
equal footing.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figures; added acknowledgment
