The Who ?

German: Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB)

• founded in 1959 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German states.

• largest science and technology library globally

• over 9 Mio. items,

• 180 Mio. Documents (GetInfo Portal)

• 125 km of shelving

• national library of Germany for

• engineering, technology, and the physicalsciences.

• operates in conjunction with the Leibniz University, Hannover.

• TIB Service Portfolio: State of the art web-based services

• Investigating FOSS benefits for service operation

• Output from FOSS communities becomes part of the Library collection

New Paradigms: Open Science, OSGeo - and TIB

19

Worldwide first Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration agency for datasets from Science/Technology and Medicine (since 2005)

TIB Service Example:

Digital Object Identifier Registration for Scientific Data

20

A TIB Service since January 2015

Provides access to high grade scientific films from the fields of engineering, architecture, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics in German and English.

TIB Service Example:

TIB|AV-Portal service for audio-visual Information

21

The TIB|AV-PortalServing Academia and Industry – including OSGeo

TIB collects audiovisual content related to OSGeo:

• Geoinformatics-content in German

• German conference proceedings

• International submissions upon request

Benefits:

• Searchable

• Citable (via DOI)

• Sustainable use (preservation

22

Variety: Recurring topics in OSGeo conferences

Means of access:

• Attend conference (€) => attend presentation (time)

• Study at home:

• Proceedings or video recordings

• Binge-watch all conference videos ?

• A targeted search within video content is needed..

• ..and a mechanism to share the results with others.

„An inconvenient truth“

Klump, et. al, Data Publication in the Open Access Initiative, Data Science Journal, Vol. 5, 15 June 2006 nach Helly, Staudigel & Koppers, 2003, verändert.

Current approach of usageof (commercial) Web2.0 forvideo content:

•Fragile/volatile

•Ineffective searches

•Hardly citable

Censorship !Advertisements

Scientific-technicalOSGeo content

26

„Is YouTube really a trash bin ?“ - Yes, unfortunately

• URL citations break quickly

• No search options „within“ the video

• No references to specific sceneswithin a video

• What happens „after“ Youtube?

• Migration to new streaming formats ?

• Long term preservation ?

Leave it to the libraries !

27

Scientific-technical video (STV) deserves credit !

• Citability is required for scientific value

• “Reputation” is the coin in the realm of Science.

• Authors will only publish STV if the effort pays out:

• Publishing STV causes effort.

• External re-use of STV requires retrievability.

• Enable sustainable access via persistant identificatorsand long term archiving.

• Communicate that STV exists:

• Distribution and circulation of metadata via catalogs and portals

• Property rights must be enabled.

• Authors must have full control over their works.

Nach Klump, 2007, verändert

28

New scientific media may require new waysto be spread and measured

Positive Feedback

• Application by others (immediate reuse)

• Confirmation by others (QC)

• Sharing/citation by others (indirect reuse)

• Appreciation by the community (indirect reuse)

Alternative metrics

29

TIB|AV-Portal content acquisition

• Action by video owner• contacts the library

• upload

• QC / licencing

• publishing

• Action by library

• TIB monitors scientific-technical content from portals(Vimeo, YouTube, etc.)

• For relevant content, the authors are contacted

• E.g.: FOSSGIS e.V. for recorded presentations fromFOSSGIS 2014.

How are we doing so far ?OSGeo-related content in the TIB|AV-Portal

33

Value adding for OSGeo:What can be done now

1. Videos are long time preserved

2. Video quotes for wiki blogging (Demo 1)

3. Web 2.0 crowdsourced thematic content mining (Demo 2)

4. The road ahead: Linked Open Data
