Data Platform

In 2003, the Romanian National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology inaugurated National Integrated Meteorological System (SIMIN), consisting of a network of stations and instruments for measurement and detection of hydro and meteorological data, a specialized communication network, a forecasting network, and a dissemination network. With a setup cost of $55 million and a national priority role, SIMIN (implemented by Lockheed Martin) is relatively black boxed even today, using proprietary technology and software. Few institutions have direct access to the data it provides. In this paper, we present the design of a web-based software application built on open source software that allows easy access to and processing of data available in SIMIN.

Operational Quality

Developing an Open Source Software application is a challenge. Mainly because there are commercial alternatives that have an army of expert developers behind them, experienced supporters and wellestablished business processes in their development and promotion. Nevertheless, web-based applications, that securely handle the users’ personal data are an area of freedom and ease of use, features that make such applications very attractive. The “ease-of-use” part is very hard to achieve, for the developers and the end-users. Dependencies change often in OSS packages, so the fear that something breaks is always around the corner. If the application looks attractive, additional user requirements fall like rain. This poses a problem of continuity, maintenance and operational quality of the packages. In this paper and presentation we shall share our experience in building such a tool, using https://cern.ch/slides, as a showcase and a learning exercise. We shall describe what was available, what was missing, how it was put together, how much effort it took, and what was achieved.

When selecting a web analytics tool, academic libraries have traditionally turned to Google Analytics for data collection to gain insights into the usage of their web properties. As the valuable field of data analytics continues to grow, concerns about user privacy rise as well, especially when discussing a technology giant like Google. In this article, the authors explore the feasibility of using Matomo, a free and open-source software application, for web analytics in their library’s discovery layer. Matomo is a web analytics platform designed around user-privacy assurances. This article details the installation process, makes comparisons between Matomo and Google Analytics, and describes how an open-source analytics platform works within a library-specific application, EBSCO’s Discovery Service.

This research explores Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) adoption in the Sri Lankan banking sector. It produces two types of results, which are unique. One is an 8-level abstract model based on the criticality for the business, which represents all the software application usage in Sri Lankan banks. Then it presents the adoption of FOSS in banks, in terms of two quantified indices, namely General FOSS Adoption Index and Category Specific FOSS Adoption Index. The first index modeled so that it represents the ‘strategic nature of usage of FOSS’ as well as the ‘FOSS friendliness’ within the bank. The second index represents the FOSS adoption in the bank, in terms of extraction of the ‘best technological features out of them’ and the ‘level of adoption’. The results reveal that the Sri Lankan banks do not have good levels of FOSS adoption, though all the banks use FOSS applications for some purpose or another.  By further drill down into the model, it was discovered that the lack of government policy initiative towards FOSS has had a causal effect on the poor adoption ratings in the Sri Lankan banking context. Further it will greatly helpful to have FOSS supportive software business in the country, which will influence banks to get better service for FOSS products.
