Data Infrastructure and the Scholarly Ecosystem of the Future
Talk delivered at forum at SURF in the Netherlands with the hashtag #disef. Talk deals with an overview of some thinking being done about elements of the ecosystem for scholarship, as well as some slides dealing with the Australian National Data Service (ands.org.au) and the Research Data Alliance (rd-alliance.org). These latter slides were used during a Q&A session as part of the talk.

Thoughts on ecosystems from Jason Priem (emphasis added) • “The peer-reviewed journal is the product of some 350
years of selective breeding, a thoroughbred exquisitely tuned to wring the best possible performance from the paper-based world of its creation. But the Web has irrevocably changed our information environment — it is no longer the habitat the journal evolved in…
• The next decade will see a dramatic dieback in journals and a Cambrian explosion of communication species evolved for the Web- and network-centric world. Most of these will be failures. … Similarly, we can expect the intense selection pressure generated by scholars' hunger for relevant information to drive rapid evolution in systems for certification, recommendation and assessment.”
– Jason Priem, Scholarship: Beyond the paper, Nature 495, 437–440 (28 March 2013) doi:10.1038/495437a
• Distinction is an artefact of the ‘previous’ system of scholarship
• The evolving system of scholarship is blurring the boundary
• “The Web opens the workshop windows to disseminate scholarship as it happens, erasing the artificial distinction between process and product.” (emphasis added) – Jason Priem, Scholarship: Beyond the paper, Nature 495, 437–
so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-‐use research data.

§ Interest Groups § people concerned with a particular class of problems (by
discipline or by kind) § may have ongoing existence § will probably spin off series of working groups
§ Working Groups § focussed on a particular problem § will run for 12-18 months § will produce a piece of infrastructure (broadly interpreted) for
deployment § should lead to more data being exchanged
