Enhanced publication: from experiment to practice

"Researchers at a number of universities and research institutions gained experience in 2011 with enhancing publications during six projects financed by SURFfoundation. The emphasis in previous projects was mainly on developing the technical facilities for creating enhanced publications. This year, it was the turn of the researchers themselves to enhance their publications and to present them in context. Enhanced publication is a new type of scientific/scholarly publication whereby researchers make publications available [OA] on the Internet in combination with related research data...."

Press Release: Addressing legal barriers in sharing of research data

Press Release: Addressing legal barriers in sharing of research data
groups.google.com
"It is difficult for researchers and those supporting them to understand how open access to research data can be legally obtained and re-used. This is due to the fact that European and national laws vary and researchers work across national boundaries. A possible approach to providing clarity would be that researchers assign a licence to their data. This practice could be incorporated in a code of conduct for researchers. This is one of the recommendations from the report ‘The legal status of research data in the Knowledge Exchange partner countries’ which was commissioned by Knowledge Exchange (KE) and written by the Centre for Intellectual Property Law (CIER). The aim of the report was to provide clarity by analysing the intellectual property regimes in the four KE countries [Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, and UK] and European database law. Moreover, the report provides three recommendations to achieve better access: making contractual arrangements with authors, harmonisation of European copyright law and setting up of policies on commercial interests...."

"Two major digital library networks have reached an agreement to collaborate in ways that will make a large part of the world’s cultural heritage available to a large part of the world’s population. The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which will provide access to digital collections from libraries, museums, and archives in the United States, announced today that it will design its technical structure in a way to promote interoperability with that of Europeana, which has developed a similar system to link the major libraries, museums, and archives of Europe....Another outcome of this collaboration will be a virtual exhibition about the migration of Europeans to America....The Digital Public Library of America and Europeana...will be guided in this mission by the following principles. They will make their systems and data interoperable to the greatest possible extent. They will promote open access to the greatest possible extent through joint existing and new policies concerning content, data, and metadata...."

An Open Practice Manifesto?
Followers of the Apocalypse, (21 Oct 2011)
"Over the last two days I attended #ukoeras11 - the SCORE-led Autumn Symposium for OER in the UK. I worked with a small, fascinating team: Tracey De Beer (SCORE), Tony Coughlan (Open University) , Julian Priddle (Science Training and Education Partnership), and Simon Thompson (head of eLearning at Leeds Met). We produced a manifesto for OER, Open Practice and education more widely which, on re-reading, I think we should all be fairly happy with....It is time to reclaim the radical roots of OER....We recognise that the nature of education has become contaminated by the assumptions and language of business and commerce, and has lost the ability to meet the needs of learners and educators....We argue that the work of a public intellectual includes open research, open teaching and open scholarship...."
