18 The eBank UK Project

19 JISC CNI Conference 200419 eBank UK project JISC-funded for 1 year from September 2003 UKOLN at the University of Bath (lead), University of Southampton, University of Manchester Building the links between research data, scholarly communication and learning e-Science testbed Combechem –Grid-enabled combinatorial chemistry –Crystallography, laser and surface chemistry –Development of an e-Lab using pervasive computing technology –National Crystallography Service Resource Discovery Network PSIgate physical sciences portal http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/ebank-uk/

20 JISC CNI Conference 200420 The project team UKOLN Michael Day Monica Duke Rachel Heery Liz Lyon + Andy Powell Southampton Les Carr Simon Coles Jeremy Frey Chris Gutteridge Mike Hursthouse Manchester John Blunden-Ellis

21 Comb-e-Chem Project X-Ray e-Lab Analysis Properties Properties e-Lab Simulation Video Diffractometer Grid Middleware Structures Database

22 JISC CNI Conference 200422 Crystallography workflow Initialisation: mount new sample on diffractometer & set up data collection Collection: collect data Processing: process and correct images Solution: solve structures Refinement: refine structure CIF: produce CIF (Crystallographic Information File format) Report: generate Crystal Structure Report

23 JISC CNI Conference 200423

24 JISC CNI Conference 200424 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 Aim for a common ontology Modelling the domain Creating a metadata schema

25 JISC CNI Conference 200425 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 Validation of schema Pilot eBank UK aggregator service Develop search interface Version 1.0 Testing with PSIgate physical sciences portal – embedding eBank UK

26 JISC CNI Conference 200426 Some metadata issues Using simple and qualified Dublin Core 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 Will substitute when standards emerge

27 JISC CNI Conference 200427 ebank_dc record (XML) Crystal structure (data holding) Crystal structure report (HTML) Dataset Institutional repository Deposit Dataset dc:identifier dcterms:references Linking dc:type=CrystalStructure and/or Collection Model input Andy Powell, UKOLN. Eprint oai_dc record (XML) dcterms:isReferencedBy dc:type=Eprint and/or Text Data flow in eBank

28 JISC CNI Conference 200428 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 Deposit Harvesting OAI-PMH ebank_dc Harvesting OAI-PMH oai_dc Dataset dc:identifier dcterms:references Linking dc:type=CrystalStructure and/or Collection Model input Andy Powell, UKOLN. Eprint oai_dc record (XML) dcterms:isReferencedBy dc:type=Eprint and/or Text Data flow in eBank

29 JISC CNI Conference 200429 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 Deposit Harvesting OAI-PMH ebank_dc Harvesting OAI-PMH oai_dc Searching, linking and embedding Dataset 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 Data flow in eBank

30 JISC CNI Conference 200430 Currently we are…… Planning Consultation Workshop – August Developing a demonstrator Promoting Open Access and Open eData Archives to international crystallographic organisations, publishers, learned societies e-Science All Hands Meeting, Nottingham September 2004. Phase 2 proposal funding sought for further 12 months

31 Challenges for the future

32 JISC CNI Conference 200432 Phase 2 plan…….(1) Continue to progress generic data models and metadata schemas Validation against other schema –CLRC Scientific Metadata Model vs 1.0 2001 (under revision) http://www-dienst.rl.ac.uk/library/2002/tr/dltr-2002001.pdf Complex digital objects Investigate packaging options –METS –MPEG 21 DIDL –?? Metadata enhancement - subject keyword additions to datasets based on knowledge of keywords in related publications

33 JISC CNI Conference 200433 Phase 2…..(2) Investigate identifiers e.g. International Chemical Identifier (InChI code) –Access to scientific (climate) data using DOIs (German National Library of Science & Technology) Explore context sensitive linking: find me –Datasets by this person –Journal articles by this person –Datasets related to this subject –Journal articles on this subject –Learning objects by this person –Learning objects on this subject

34 JISC CNI Conference 200434 Phase 2…….(3) Workflow embedding –Expand to include SMART e-Lab metadata e.g. sample preparation e-Learning embedding and pedagogic evaluation –MChem course –Chemical informatics course Expand into other physical sciences Feasibility study in a related domain - biosciences

35 JISC CNI Conference 200435 Learning & Teaching workflows Research & e-Science workflows Aggregator services: eBank UK Repositories : institutional, e-prints, subject, data, learning objects Data curation: databases & databanks Institutional presentation services: portals, Learning Management Systems, u/g, p/g courses, modules Validation Harvesting metadata Data creation / capture / gathering: laboratory experiments, Grids, fieldwork, surveys, media Resource discovery, linking, embedding Deposit / self- archiving Peer-reviewed publications: journals, conference proceedings Publication Validation Data analysis, transformation, mining, modelling Resource discovery, linking, embedding Deposit / self- archiving Learning object creation, re-use Searching, harvesting, embedding Quality assurance bodies Validation Presentation services: subject, media-specific, data, commercial portals Resource discovery, linking, embedding Linking

36 JISC CNI Conference 200436 Potential longer term impact 1.Track data, information and workflows in e-research and scholarly communications – knowledge audit?? 2.Validate the accuracy and authenticity of derived works – ideas audit?? 3.Facilitate explicit referencing and acknowledgment of original contributors – intellectual integrity?? 4.Raise standards associated with publication of research outputs – academic publishing rigour?? 5.Implement open access to and dissemination of data and information – enhance the research process?? 6.Give students links to original data underpinning published works – enhance the learning process??
