Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Emerging Standards for Enhanced Publications and Repository Technology serves as a technology watch on the rapidly evolving world of digital publication. It provides an up-to-date overview of technical issues, underlying the development of universally accessible publications, their elemental components and linked information. More specifically it deals with questions as how to bring together the communities of the Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF). Case studies like EGEE, DILIGENT and DRIVER are analyzed, as well as implementations in projects in Ireland, Denmark and The Netherlands. Interoperability is the keyword in this context and this book introduces to new standards and concepts used in the design of envelopes and packages, overlays and feeds, embedding, publishing formats and Web services and service-oriented architecture. It is a must-read for quick and comprehensive orientation.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The traditional publication will be overhauled by the 'Enhanced Publication'. This is a publication that isenhanced with research data, extra materials, post publication data, and database records. It has anobject-based structure with explicit links between the objects. In this book a state-of-the-art overview is givenof the structural elements of an Enhanced Publication, as well as publication models, interrelationship andrepository issues. The use of Enhanced Publications evokes questions on object models and functionalities.In-depth study is made of these subjects. More practically, a sample is given of datasets together witha demonstrator-project. In the final section, this book deals with long-term preservation issues, linking to thedevelopments of digital repositories that are studied in other books in this series.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It is widely acknowledged that a common knowledge base for European research is necessary. Research repositories are an important innovation to the scientific information infrastructure. In 2006, digital repositories in the 27 countries of the European were surveyed, covering 114 repositories from 17 European countries. In follow-up, this book presents the results of the 2008 survey. It shows an increasing number of respondents, but also a further diversification in the character of a repository. Repositories may be institutional or thematically based, and as such non-institutional as well. 178 Institutional research repositories and 14 thematic and other noninstitutional repositories from 22 European countries took part actively. European practices should be harmonized and the development of state-of-the-art technology facilitated. Authors, institutes and information users are stakeholders in this process. In presenting a state-of the art of developments, this book is a valuable guide for them in developing their policy on research repositories without losing contact with others. The ongoing process of widespread and diversification of digital repositories puts urgency on coherent approach, as a basic feature of repositories is the retrievability of information that may be dispersed over many of them. Continued monitoring of developments will be necessary.
