Dryad is an international repository of data underlying peer-reviewed articles in the basic and applied biosciences. Dryad enables scientists to validate published findings, explore new analysis methodologies, repurpose data for research questions unanticipated by the original authors, and perform synthetic studies. Dryad is governed by a consortium of journals that collaboratively promote data archiving and ensure the sustainability of the repository.

La question de la réutilisation des données publiques est de nouveau au cœur des débats professionnels et citoyens (y compris européens). Concernés au premier chef, de nombreux services d’archives font face à ces enjeux en élaborant règlements et licences de réutilisation. Dans ces nouvelles stratégies se joue la question des données personnelles, mais également celle de l’émergence d’une économie du savoir qui puisse favoriser les utilisations non-commerciales. Avec cette journée forum, largement ouverte aux acteurs concernés, l’AAF entend se saisir du débat et proposer un espace de réflexion ouvert au dialogue.

DataCite held its first Summer Meeting in Hannover, Germany from June 7-8 and it was very successful. DataCite is a new international consortium of national libraries and data centers set up to "establish easier access to scientific research data on the Internet, increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scientific record, and to support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study."
Nearly everywhere, people who create, store, query, or serve XML expect it to live a very long time. XML is platform- and application-independent, and by and large it is platforms and applications that vanish. If by encoding information in XML we have freed it from dependency on specific platforms or applications, have we succeeded in ensuring that the XML can live long into the future?
Le socle du métier
Je suis tenté de dire que nous devons être des manipulateurs de données, à tous les niveaux. Ce n’est pas tout de savoir cataloguer (créer les données) ou encoder en EAD ou en TEI, il faut aussi savoir exploiter ces données, ou comprendre comment elles sont exploitables (ou non).
Following the JISC seminar last week on persistent identifiers (#jiscpid on Twitter) there was some discussion about DOI and its role within a Linked Data context. John Erickson has responded with a very thoughtful post DOIs, URIs and Cool Resolution, which ably summarizes how the current problem with DOI in that the way the DOI is is implemented by the handle HTTP proxy may not have kept pace with actual HTTP developments. (For example, John notes that the proxy is not capable of dealing with 'Accept' headers.) He has proposed a solution, and the post has attracted several comments.
OMDoc is a markup format and data model for Open Mathematical Documents.
OMDoc serves as semantics-oriented representation format and ontology language for mathematical knowledge. Format, Distribution, Examples
The current stable version is OMDoc1.2 (see the OMDoc1.2 Book), but work on OMDoc1.6, the first step towards OMDoc2.0 has begun.
OMDoc.org serves as a community portal for the OMDoc community and as a clearinghouse for information about OMDoc-based projects and extensions to other sciences.
