1. IntroductionDC 20061 Metadata towards an e-research cyberinfrastructure The case of French ETDs

2. IntroductionDC 20062 Summary Introducing ARTIST and authors of this collective work Main actors operating on French ETDs Their roles; Their metadata 3 case studies Creating metadata: thinking about reusability Thematic survey around biodiversity: thinking vocabularies Institutional survey: thinking ontologies Conclusion

3. IntroductionDC 20063 Authors Jacques DUCLOY – INIST, ARTIST Yann Nicolas – ABES Diane Le Hénaff - INRA Muriel FOULONNEAU – now CCSD Luc GRIVEL – Univ. Paris 1 Jean-Paul DUCASSE – Univ. Lyon 2 + several little interventions and comments

5. IntroductionDC 20065 ARTIST topics How to build Digital Library or scholarly publishing applications dealing with e-science? New approaches to make research or science in a cyberinfrastructure

6. IntroductionDC 20066 ARTIST e-Science experimentations Scientific forum Sample: cooperative linguistic discussion Carl Lagoze paper about DL What is a Digital Library ? Scientific journal: AMETIST Appropriation, Mutualisation, Experimentation Digital writing Richer on-line version Experience becomes “reproductible” Paper view Scientific focus and evaluation purpose Digital Library experimentations (metadata -> DL) Cooperative writing: this article

7. IntroductionDC 20067 This article: metadata for e-science Not only for: (scientific) information retrieval But also for: + research evaluation + federative digital libraries + research policy oriented studies + scientific surveys

8. IntroductionDC 20068 main entities dealing with French ETDs Universities And their national organization EPST (National Research Institute) Sample CNRS : 30,000 people European framework Each country gets its own organization + European actions (Delos, DRIVER…) Francophone framework International framework Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), ePrints application profile

9. IntroductionDC 20069 Translation difficulties showing different approaches Thèse = ETD Thesis (English context) Dissertation (US context) Veille scientifique Scientific survey (using informetric tools) In order to discover innovations Pilotage de la recherche research policy oriented studies Strong role of French administration

15. IntroductionDC 200615 CCSD metadata At the beginning: local schema Strong relationship between: Author University, laboratory, research team DC export / OAI - PMH

16. IntroductionDC 200616 Hal: institutional repository A French advantage related to open archive « Protocole d’accord Universités EPST sur les dépots par les chercheurs » In CNRS each researcher must produce an activity report which in generated by Hal/CCSD Some scientific headers can request a CCSD deposit

17. ActorsDC 200617 Actor: INIST/CNRS Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique http://www.inist.fr Pascal & Francis bibliographic data bases 15,000,000 XML records Scientific Portals, Scientific information analysis Vocabularies: termSciences

20. IntroductionDC 200620 Case study: sharing theses and their metadata Thinking about reusability by several actors which interoperate during ETD life cycle Inra unit Ecole doctorale Inra University Abes/star ETD Univ. Lab.

21. IntroductionDC 200621 Sharing metadata Administrative metadata are requested for a quite complex workflow Contents must be matched A given person could have different names… Different ways of naming units… Different classification schemes…

22. IntroductionDC 200622 Case study 2: BiodivERsA BiodivERsA: European research policy network about biodiversity x * 10 funding agencies, y*100 research program z * 1000 projects x1 * 10000 results … distributed network of CRIS CRIS: Current Research Information System

23. IntroductionDC 200623 Vocabulary adaptations CRIS… Archive DL Thematic CRIS Thematic Archive Thematic DL Global DL Classification schemas must be matched for computation purpose (funding evaluation)

24. IntroductionDC 200624 Case study 3 Affiliation must be managed with ontologies UHPCNRSINRIA CRIN LoriaInria LorraineInria Sophia YTCortexOmégaOrpailleur

25. IntroductionDC 200625 A technical conclusion Metadata (DCQ) is good but not sufficient We need vocabulary adaptations, ontologies Sharing several repositories (vocabularies, affiliations…) Managing metadata history etc

26. IntroductionDC 200626 The very conclusion We need to help people working altogether and doing compromises We need researcher becoming owners of their scientific information system… We need librarians appropriating technologies and helping researcher to appropriate librarian feeling We need engineers in computer science appropriating library and edition issues That is what we try to help to do with ARTIST
