1 Integrating research data into the publication workflow: eBank UK experience Rachel Heery, UKOLN, University of Bath http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/ebank-uk/ PV-2004, ESRIN Centre, Frascati, 5-7 October 2004

2 Overview eScience agenda –Imperative to re-use data –Publication at source Innovations in scholarly communications –Open Access –Institutional repositories eBank UK –Integrating research data and journal articles –Information architecture and data flow –Data model and schemas Challenges for the future More effective curation by integrating research data and publications

4 Imperative to re-use research data

5 The next generation of research breakthroughs will rely upon new ways of handling the immense amounts of data that are being produced by modern research methods and equipment, such as telescopes, particle accelerators, genome sequencers and biological imagers….Similar developments are having an impact in the arts and humanities, and in the social sciences. A Vision for Research, Research Councils UK, December 2003

6 It is envisaged that the sharing of primary data would prevent unnecessary repetition of experiments and enable scientists to build directly on each others work, creating greater efficiencies and productivity in the research process. UK Parliamentary Committee report

7 Current chemistry publishing protocols Ideas and interpretations Results & derived data Hooks into the literature Raw data!

8 Calls for new modes of curation for digital data Publication Discovery Re-use Preservation

9 eBank motivation Publication bottleneck in many scientific communities Small percentage of data referenced in literature Limited amount of results data Publication at source Open repositories Link data to research literature More timely access

10 eBank focus on crystallography Computer controlled instruments Generates large quantities of digital data and metadata automatically Requirement for curaton of data Strict workflow Data formatted to international standard –Crystallographical Information File (CIF) maintained by the International Union of Crystallography CombeChem: funded by UK eScience programme

11 CombeChem: an eScience project X-Ray e-Lab Analysis Properties Properties e-Lab Simulation Video Diffractometer Grid Middleware Structures Database

12 Emerging infrastructure to support curation of digital data

13 Improving access to research publications Repositories –Subject based (arXiv, CogPrints) –Institutional (CDL, MIT) –Supporting technology (DSpace, eprints.org) Open Access –Self archiving peer reviewed journal articles –Toll free journals (free at point of use) –Supporting technology (OAI-PMH) Potential for integrating access to data and publications

14 Supporting technology: Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) Architecture of the OAI-PMH Harvest available metadata from Data Providers Place aggregated metadata in a repository Expose aggregated metadata via a Web interface Potential for added value services… www.openarchives.org

15 Architecture of the OAI PMH Consistent interfaces for data provider and service provider Low barrier protocol / effortless implementation Based on existing standards (e.g. HTTP, XML, DC) Harvester Repository Requests (based on HTTP) Metadata (encoded in XML) Metadata and DataMetadata Data Provider Service Service Provider

16

17 eBank in a nutshell Create institutional repository of Crystallography Data (at Southampton) Modify repository software to handle datasets (eprints.org at Southampton) Demonstrate eBank search service linked to ePrints UK, indexing harvested descriptions of datasets and journal articles (at UKOLN) Embed eBank service into PSIgate subject gateway (at Manchester) To develop pilot service linking journal articles and scientific datasets (September 2003 - October 2005)

18 Institutional repository (Southampton repository) eBank UK aggregator service (metadata describing datasets) ePrint UK aggregator service (metadata describing journal articles) Harvesting OAI-PMH ebank_dc Harvesting OAI-PMH oai_dc Searching, linking and embedding PSIgate portal eBank architecture

19 Institutional repositories at various sites – providing links to data and journal articles, providing metadata for harvesting Various aggregators of metadata describing datasets – international subject based services, publishers services etc Various aggregators of metadata describing journal articles – international subject based services, publishers services etc Harvesting OAI-PMH ebank_dc Harvesting OAI-PMH oai_dc Searching, linking and embedding Embedded services in various specialist portals Potential extended architecture

20 First steps: establishing common ground… Understand the data creation process Terminology and definitions –Data –Metadata –Datafile –Dataset –Data holding Different views –Digital library researchers, computer scientists, chemists –Generic vs specific –Modeller vs practitioner Data modelling Defining metadata schema

21 Crystallographic data workflow Set up data collection Collect data Process + correct images Solve structure Refine structure CIF RAW DATA DERIVED DATA RESULTS DATA 1 2 3 4 5 6

23 Linking Crystallograpy data and journal ePrints EPrint (Local) eBank World JOURNAL PUBLICATION DATA HOLDING INVESTIGATION RAW DERIVED RESULTS CIF STRUCTURE REPORT DATASET (Contains DATAFILES) REPORT (EPrint) EBank REPORT

24 Crystallography data model

25 Metadata approach Extended Dublin Core for structure reports within institutional repository Both simple Dublin Core and extended Dublin Core are offered as alternative schemas for harvesting using OAI-PMH Exploring use of extended DC schema within DCMI –impact on aggregator service Engaging the broader scientific community to ensure different schemas are compliant and standards can emerge

26 Extended Dublin Core schema Additional chemical information in schema for harvesting e.g. empirical formula Schema contains International Chemical Identifier (InChI) Links to all datasets associated with an experiment Links to individual datasets within an experiment Links to eprints (and other published literature) derived from the data Using vocabularies specific to crystallography

27

28 Structure reports link back to the underlying data…

29 eBank aggregator : search

30 Ebank aggregator: browse

31 And finally… eBank search embedded in a science portal

32 ebank_dc record (XML) Crystal structure (data holding) Crystal structure report (HTML) Dataset Institutional repository eBank UK aggregator service ePrint UK aggregator service Subject service Harvesting OAI-PMH ebank_dc Harvesting OAI-PMH oai_dc Searching, linking and embedding dc:identifier dcterms:references Linking dc:type= CrystalStructure and/or Collection Model input Andy Powell, UKOLN. PSIgate portal Eprint oai_dc record (XML) dcterms:isReferencedBy dc:type=Eprint and/or Text Eprint jump-off page (HTML) Eprint manifestation (e.g. PDF) Linking dc:identifier

33 Challenges for the future

34 Progress update Version 2.0 eBank metadata schema Enhanced ePrints.org software Pilot institutional e-data repository for harvesting (raw, derived, results data) Exports records as ebank_dc and oai_dc Pilot eBank UK aggregator service Developing search interface Version 1.0 Testing with PSIgate physical sciences portal – embedding eBank UK

35 Plans for eBank Phase 2 Progress towards generic data model for description of research datasets –Validate eBank schema against other schema –CLRC Scientific Metadata Model Modify eprints.org software to allow for more varied scientific data and schemas Investigate identifiers e.g. International Chemical Identifier (InChI code)

36 Plans for eBank Phase 2…….(contd.) Explore embedding in chemistry workflow Potential to expand remit to wider range of crystallography data other chemistry sub-domains broader physical sciences

37 eBank (potential) links with eLearning Provide access to primary research data within learning materials –in the taught postgraduate curriculum in chemistry, undergraduate project work, chemical informatics courses Inclusion of e-research data in e-learning courses. –through links in reading lists, through essay assignments, through analytical problems, through practical work, through RDN PsiGATE links

38 In conclusion eBank demonstrates benefits to research community Potential for integration into digital library services –Moving from demonstrator to service, need to involve publishers and specialist services
