Le partage des données est sur le principe maintenant bien implanté au niveau européen mais trop d'obstacles à sa réalisation sont encore rencontrés dans différentes disciplines. Le travail rendant effectif le partage de données et de ressources inclut des étapes et des méthodes très différentes ainsi que des communautés de compétences variées. Chacune de ces étapes souffre d'un manque de reconnaissance légitime. L'initiative BRIF (Bioresource Research Impact Factor) s'est investie depuis quelques années dans ce travail de valorisation, concernant les collections d'échantillons biologiques en particulier.

Dans le cadre de la 9ième réunion plénière RDA (Research Data Alliance) qui se déroulera à Barcelone du 5 au 7 avril 2017, l' initiative BRIF organisera une session de travail sur la question de la valorisation du travail accompli dans la mise à disposition des données et des collections de recherche.

Une participation à distance sera possible. Les détails de la connexion seront affichés ultérieurement sur cette même page.

LEARN cordially invites you to its end-of-Project Conference entitled 'Managing the Data Deluge : roles and responsibilities for your institution ' which will be held on Friday 5th May 2017 at Senate House, London.

The use and sharing of research data has the potential fundamentally to change the way research is undertaken and shared. Pervasive networks mean that researchers are able to collaborate and share not only their publications, but also the research data, which underpins them. The LEARN Conference is designed to encourage all stakeholders – researchers, research funders, publishers, research organisations and senior decision makers – to explore what their roles and responsibilities are in this fast-changing environment. The EU-funded LEARN project has produced a model Research Data Management policy, along with guidance, for implementation at institutional level.

...

The conference will be split into two sessions. The morning session will be devoted to formal presentations, whilst the afternoon slot will have breakout groups which will examine the outputs of the LEARN project and how they can be taken up by stakeholders.

Les systèmes d'information (SI) exploitent différents types de données entre autres des données "liées" (Linked Data) et/ou "ouvertes" (Open Data). Cependant, l'exploitation de ce type de données dans les SI soulève des questions que l'atelier proposent de discuter.

Parmi les plus importantes, et au-delà du passage à l'échelle, nous trouvons l'hétérogénéité, la sélection, le traitement, la fusion et la validation des données extraites depuis les nombreuses sources disponibles. L'impact de ces données dans les SI est d'autant plus important si l'on ajoute des problématiques décisionnelles, de mobilité, de contextes fortement contraints, d'accessibilité, de contextualisation, d'évanescence, etc.

Afin de dresser un panorama des problématiques centrées sur les Linked Data et/ou les Open Data, nous proposons dans le cadre d'INFORSID 2017 un atelier durant lequel les problématiques émergentes et/ou transverses sur l'intégration des Linked Data et/ou Open Data dans les SI pourront être partagées et discutées. Pour balayer le processus depuis la génération d'open/linked data jusqu'aux consommateurs de ces données, nous encourageons les regards croisés entre acteurs de la recherche, acteurs institutionnels publics et acteurs privés dans ce domaine. Ainsi l'atelier a pour objectif de se faire rencontrer ces différentes sensibilités.

Les systèmes d'information modernes contiennent de grandes quantités de données de différents types (quantitatives, qualitatives, et multimédias). Dès lors que l'on interconnecte de tels systèmes entre eux, le volume de données disponible explose, donnant ainsi naissance à des informations plus riches de sens mais aussi plus complexes à exploiter. Dans cet objectif, il existe des outils de data visualisation (ou Dataviz) qui offrent la possibilitéà un utilisateur de révéler des informations utiles, voire cachées. Ils permettent de faire apparaitre visuellement des connexions entre les données pour en faire émerger des tendances fortes et insoupçonnées...

Thèmes de l'atelier

L'appel à contributions est ouvert pour des présentations courtes (2 à 4 pages - 10 mn) et longues (8 à 12 pages - 20 mn) sur les thèmes suivants (liste non exhaustive) :

• Les outils de traitement et de visualisation de données ;
• Les apports de la visualisation de données (la lutte contre la fraude, le terrorisme et la criminalité, etc.) ;
• La data visualisation et l'analyse de données (l'analyse de sentiments, l'analyse de réseaux, l'analyse comportementale, etc.) ;

The 1st International Data Science Conference (iDSC 2017) organized by Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (Information Technology and Systems Management) in cooperation with Information Professionals GmbH seeks to establish a key Data Science event, providing a forum for an international exchange on Data Science technologies and applications.

...

Program Concept

The International Data Science Conference gives the participants the opportunity, over the course of two days, to delve into the most current research and up-to-date practice in Data Science and data-driven business. Besides the two parallel tracks, the Research Track and the Industry Track, on the second day a Symposium is taking place presenting the outcomes of a European Project on Text and Data Mining (TDM). These events are open to all participants.

...

The Symposium is organized in collaboration with the FutureTDM Consortium. FutureTDM is a European project which over the last two years has been identifying the legal and technical barriers, as well as the skills stakeholders/practitioners lack, that inhibit the uptake of TDM for researchers and innovative businesses.

Six years on from the first of these events, and six months on from the latter, how – and to what extent – have data career pathways matured in the last half-decade, and what might we expect from the next five to ten years ? As estimates of the numbers of data scientists that will be required to meet demand in the coming years become ever more extravagant, how well positioned is the academy to produce these, whether via formal qualifications or the development of existing staff ? How do we balance and reconcile the scholarly effort involved in research data management (and software, as Research Software Engineer matures as a profession) with career progression ? And how do we ensure we continue to address the concerns of different stakeholder groups, such as funders and publishers ? In short, how far have we come, where are we now, and what must we continue to plan for ?

The 11th U.S. Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) Workshop will take place on Saturday, October 28 as part of DC-2017 in Crystal City, VA (Washington, D.C.)

Important Dates

Submission deadline : Friday, June 30, 2017
Notification of acceptance : Tuesday, August 15, 2017

Workshop Themes

1. Research Data Management (RDM). NKOS welcomes presentations that focus on the knowledge organization issues related to controlled vocabularies, name authority, taxonomy, and other KOS to enable access to collections, e.g., in order to be able to replicate scientific results. What are the KOS requirements related to data storage and preservation ; and communication, coordination and collaboration to support librarian and researcher needs ?

1. Aggregation. The objective of linked open data is to provide distributed access to vocabularies and content that uses vocabularies. Actually using vocabularies to aggregate distributed content is a special case that reconstructs collections that are now dispersed. Examples include Renaissance artist sketchbooks, natural history collections from enlightenment humanists, etc.

What are the elements required in the transition to open access ? How do we change the culture to publish research in a more open manner ? What tools and services are needed to support research ? These and other key topics will be presented over the three day conference, facilitating a cutting edge and lively forum around the elements required for the transition to Open Science. Experts from around the world will come together to explore e-infrastructures and services, offer expertise about policies as guidance for good practices, identify research flows and ways of improvement. Projects, initiatives and researchers will have the opportunity to showcase their work, through open calls for workshops, hands-on training and posters. The Fair will bring experts together from around the world, offering unique insights on the changing culture towards a more open science.

This first conference is organized jointly by four EU funded consortia in the area of Open Science : OpenAIRE (www.openaire.eu), OpenUP (www.openup-h2020.eu), Foster (www.fosteropenscience.eu) and OpenMinTeD (www.openminted.eu) who share the vision of a science that is free of accessibility and information barriers and is an enabler of social innovation. It is partly supported by the EOSCpilot project (www.eoscpilot.eu) which aims to build a seamless open research environment for Europe.
