RESUMEN Vivimos en la era de la revolución de los laboratorios. La emergencia de los laboratorios, como espacios para la experimentación y la producción colaborativa y experimental, abre la discusión sobre la manera en que nos aproximamos a la complejidad social. En este texto buscamos discutir sus posibilidades como marco común, modelo, prototipo, práctica o metodología para repensar la universidad como institución y el campo de las humanidades digitales. Consideramos necesario un diálogo más profundo con iniciativas relativas a la ciencia abierta y ciudadana, el aprendizaje distribuido y los datos abiertos, más cercanas a los movimientos sociales que a la cultura académica. Reflexionamos sobre las posibilidades de incorporar la cultura del laboratorio para promover, difundir, documentar y facilitar procesos de producción de conocimiento abierto en Iberoamérica, que sirva a la vez como una oportunidad para la transformación social e institucional.Palabras clave: Laboratorios Ciudadanos; Humanidades Digitales; Innovación Ciudadana; Ciencia Abierta; Conocimiento Abierto.RESUMO Vivemos na era da revolução dos laboratórios.

The emergence of laboratories, as spaces for experimentation and collaborative and experimental production, opens the discussion about how we approach social complexity. In this paper we seek to discuss their possibilities as a common framework, model, prototype, practice, or methodology to rethink the university as an institution and the field of digital humanities. We deem it necessary to have a deeper dialogue with initiatives related to open and citizen science, distributed learning and open data, closer to social movements than to academic culture. We reflect on the possibilities of incorporating the lab culture to promote, disseminate, document, and facilitate processes of open knowledge production in Iberoamerica, which becomes an opportunity for both social and institutional transformation.Keywords: Citizen Labs; Digital Humanities; Citizen Innovation; Open Science; Open Knowledge.

This paper examines the role, functions and value of the “iSchool” as an agent of change in the data informatics and data curation arena. A brief background to the iSchool movement is given followed by a brief review of the data decade, which highlights key data trends from the iSchool perspective: open data and open science, big data and disciplinary data diversity. The growing emphasis on the shortage of data talent is noted and a family of data science roles identified. The paper moves on to describe three primary functions of iSchools: education, research intelligence and professional practice, which form the foundations of a new Capability Ramp Model. The model is illustrated by mini-case studies from the School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburgh: the immersive (laboratory-based) component of two new Research Data Management and Research Data Infrastructures graduate courses, a new practice partnership with the University Library System centred on RDM, and the mapping of disciplinary data practice using the Community Capability Model Profile Tool. The paper closes with a look to the future and, based on the assertion that data is mission-critical for iSchools, some steps are proposed for the next data decade: moving data education programs into the mainstream core curriculum, adopting a translational data science perspective and strengthening engagement with the Research Data Alliance.

Our University Library (UBL) have seen the need and potential for strengthening the infrastructure for digital full text resources at the University of Bergen and we wanted better to establish the library’s role in this area.Five years ago, several research communities expressed concerns that it was becoming increasingly difficult to sustain the competence necessary to run and maintain both physical and digital research archives. More specifically a concrete need for supporting XML-based digital humanities text resources was voiced. We felt the UBL could meet this need by providing a new service.A combination of data modeling, data conversion and an active use of open data solutions has in our view shown itself to be an effective solution. We find that in-house data modeling and processing competence is essential in order to cope with tasks connected to digital text and image resources.Our poster will outline our digital service provision by giving selected references and examples.The Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB) is one example of a recipient of UBL data services. WAB maintains a richly encoded XML version of the complete Nachlass of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.A library web resource building upon library data modeling and conversion is MARCUS, which shows how catalogue data and image data for the University Library’s own manuscript collections and photographic collections are currently digitized and interconnected using electronic representations of documents and Linked Data/RDF (Resource Description Format) metadata. MARCUS meets UBLs long felt need for a unified special collections digital system. This relates not only to document storage, display and dissemination, but also to the library workflow for the special collections. Both WAB and MARCUS benefits, strategically and day-to-day, from the same competencies within the library.We think that a sensible future-oriented solution entails that each institution, to a greater degree than before, works with modeling and conversion of its own data. Our view is that using Linked Data/RDF encoding will pave the way to connecting data sets in such a way that they enrich one another. Rather than functioning as system providers, we envision large institutions processing and sharing open datasets, as well as encouraging and enabling others to do the same.In line with LIBERs Ten recommendations for libraries to get started with research data management our view is that data modeling and data conversion, within the frame of an active use of open data solutions, are services that belongs within the portfolio of the research library. Presented by Irene Eikefjord, Senior Librarian, University of Bergen Library

This chapter describes the brief history and recent trends in digital humanities in Japan, which had been led within the context of IT (information technology) and recently has strongly involved humanities researchers. According to the analysis of 991 technical reports by the Special Interest Group for Computers and Humanities (SIG-CH), the fields of linguistics and literary studies have been dominant while recently the history field has been increasing its number of the presentations, and many other fields in the humanities have been treated in a small percentage. Japanese texts have some difficulties in the digital environments. Although the recent developments in IT partially solve them, other attempts to improve the DH research environment have been activated. The policy of Japanese government to promote open science and open data will make DH in Japan more fruitful in the future.

This paper seeks to introduce a strategy of science communication: Total SciComm or all-out science communication. We proposed that to maximize the outreach and impact, scientists should use different media to communicate different aspects of science, from core ideas to methods. The paper uses an example of a debate surrounding a now-retracted article in the Nature journal, in which open data, preprints, social media, and blogs are being used for a meaningful scientific conversation. The case embodied the central idea of Total SciComm: the scientific community employs every medium to communicate scientific ideas and engages all scientists in the process.

AbstractIn January 2016, the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The Neuro) declared itself an Open Science organization. This vision extends beyond efforts by individual scientists seeking to release individual datasets, software tools, or building platforms that provide for the free dissemination of such information. It involves multiple stakeholders and an infrastructure that considers governance, ethics, computational resourcing, physical design, workflows, training, education, and intra-institutional reporting structures. The C-BIG repository was built in response as The Neuro’s institutional biospecimen and clinical data repository, and collects biospecimens as well as clinical, imaging, and genetic data from patients with neurological disease and healthy controls. It is aimed at helping scientific investigators, in both academia and industry, advance our understanding of neurological diseases and accelerate the development of treatments. As many neurological diseases are quite rare, they present several challenges to researchers due to their small patient populations. Overcoming these challenges required the aggregation of datasets from various projects and locations. The C-BIG repository achieves this goal and stands as a scalable working model for institutions to collect, track, curate, archive, and disseminate multimodal data from patients. In November 2020, a Registered Access layer was made available to the wider research community at https://cbigr-open.loris.ca, and in May 2021 fully open data will be released to complement the Registered Access data. This article outlines many of the aspects of The Neuro’s transition to Open Science by describing the data to be released, C-BIG’s full capabilities, and the design aspects that were implemented for effective data sharing.

Tremendous Impact

Decolonisation of knowledge over the past few years has gained much traction among scholars and students in many countries. This situation has led to calls for the decolonisation of knowledge, academia, the university, and university curricula. That said, the knowledge production side of the terrorism industry, which sits inside academia, so far has escaped calls to decolonise. This situation is somewhat surprising because the terrorism industry has had a tremendous impact on many countries, especially Muslim majority ones. The 9/11 terrorist attacks have resulted in a tremendous amount of knowledge being produced and published on terrorism and counterterrorism. However, little is known about “who is publishing on terrorism and where they are based”. To this end, this paper adopts a decolonial approach and addresses the questions of “who is publishing on terrorism and where they are based” by analysing seven terrorism journals. It argues that most of the publications and knowledge on terrorism in the seven terrorism journals are produced by scholars with Western heritage and are based at Western institutions, which is connected to the coloniality of knowledge.
