Metadata towards an e-research cyberinfrastructure: The case of French PhD theses
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyses metadata practices and needs in the French research community. It focuses on PhD theses whose life-cycle is totally controlled by the academic institutions. It uses information treatments dealing with setting up research policy as samples for an eresearch orientation. Several case-studies illustrate the fundamental role of various repositories containing affiliations, authorities or linguistic items. ARTIST, the collective author of this paper, is introduced.

متن کاملTowards Automated Instrument Management for Lake Monitoring Systems
For large-scale environmental observatories, managing sensors/instruments is a laborintensive and knowledge-intensive process. This encompasses deployment, configuration, calibration, integration into observing system, monitoring (e.g., determining instrument status), and remote interaction (e.g., changing sample rates, requesting data). In this paper, we propose a flexible and extensible data ...
متن کاملIntelligent polar cyberinfrastructure: enabling semantic search in geospatial metadata catalogue to support polar data discovery
Polar regions have garnered substantial research attention in recent years because they are key drivers of the Earth’s climate, a source of rich mineral resources, and the home of a variety of marine life. Nevertheless, global warming over the past century is pushing the polar systems towards a tipping point: the systems are at high-risk from melting snow and sea ice covers, permafrost thawing,...
متن کاملAcceptance of a systematic review as a thesis: survey of biomedical doctoral programs in Europe
BACKGROUND Systematic reviews (SRs) have been proposed as a type of research methodology that should be acceptable for a graduate research thesis. The aim of this study was to analyse whether PhD theses in European biomedical graduate programs can be partly or entirely based on SRs. METHODS In 2016, we surveyed individuals in charge of European PhD programs from 105 institutions. The survey a...
متن کاملMetadata Workflows Across Research Domains: Challenges and Opportunities for Supporting the DFC Cyberinfrastructure
Metadata is necessary to find, use, and properly manage scientific data. Sharing metadata workflows across different communities is thus crucial for promoting data interoperability and reuse. The DataNet Federation Consortium (DFC) is a project within the NSF Office of CyberInfrastructure DataNet initiative. One widespread problem that the DFC seeks to address is the unfortunate reality that “m...
