Developing Modeling Tool for RM-ODP with Eclipse Sirius
The document discusses the development of a modeling tool called DSL4ODP for specifying systems using the Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) framework. It was created using the Eclipse Sirius modeling tool. So far it covers the Enterprise and Information viewpoints. Future plans include adding more viewpoints, model validations, transformations, and textual modeling support. The tool allows creating most diagrams defined in the UML4ODP standard for those viewpoints. Sirius was found to be a suitable tool for defining the domain-specific language due to its capabilities for defining metamodels, model editors, and model transformations.

The document discusses 3 ideas to advance the library profession: 1) Re-branding libraries to address the perception that they are only about physical books and spaces. A re-branding study is proposed. 2) Co-publishing an academic book with librarians as co-authors to gain recognition as professionals. 3) Establishing a sustainable funding source, like an endowment fund, to hire a full-time staff for the Library Association of Singapore in order to increase momentum of progress. Matching grants from the government are suggested to help fund these initiatives.

When Staff and Researchers Leave Their Host Institution
When staff and researchers leave their host institution, it is important to ensure they can continue their professional work and engage with their communities. They should develop lifelong skills to manage their digital assets, publications, and online identities beyond their institution. Institutions could help more by providing training and support for staff transitioning away, and ensuring important digital content is not lost.

Can We Mine JISCMail Lists? Can We Talk About MailMine?lisbk
Brian Kelly from UKOLN presented on mining JISCMail lists. He discussed the value of mailing lists in scholarly work but noted limitations with current software. He demonstrated MailMine, a prototype for analyzing mailing list archives. However, legal and ethical issues need addressed before using such tools on lists like JISCMail due to ownership and privacy concerns. Next steps may include addressing these issues or exploring alternatives like US-based lists to avoid UK barriers. The goal is determining if text mining is needed and how to do so responsibly.

This document discusses building cloud services based on open standards and open technologies. It makes three main points:
1. Cloud technologies and services are central to digitization, providing cognitive solutions to physical systems through open cloud platforms, hybrid cloud services, and cloud-based software, infrastructure, and platform services.
2. Cloud services are primarily built on technical standards for basic IT, cloud-specific standards, cybersecurity standards, and open source platforms, with competitive differentiators relating to offerings built on top of these open technologies.
3. The way forward is to rely on global and international standards developed through open, bottom-up processes; promote implementation of standards through organizations like ETSI, OASIS, and

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?

2. Contents This talk will cover the following topics: Introduction Standards are great Standards don't always work Layered approach developed by QA Focus Application to JISC development programmes Application elsewhere Sustainability Conclusions
3. About Me, About UKOLN Brian Kelly: UK Web Focus – national Web advisory post Advises higher & further education & cultural heritage sectors on Web innovations, standards & best practices Involved in Web since January 1993 Involved in Web standards for JISC development programmes since 1995 UKOLN National centre of expertise in digital information management Location at the University of Bath, UK Funded by MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives Council) and JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) Introduction
4. Open Standards Are Great … JISC's development programmes (like others): Traditionally based on use of open standards to: Support interoperability Maximise accessibility Avoid vendor lock-in Provide architectural integrity Help ensure long-term preservation History in UK HE development work: eLib Standards document (v1 – 1996, v2 – 1998) DNER (JISC IE) Standards document (2001) which influenced: NOF-digi Technical Standards (digitisation of cultural resources) Open Standards
5. … But Don't Always Work There's a need for flexibility: Learning the lesson from OSI networking protocols Today: Is the Web (for example) becoming over-complex "Web service considered harmful" The lowercase semantic web / Microformats Lighter-weight alternatives being developed Responses from the commercial world Open Standards Other key issues What is an open standard? What are the resource implications of using them? Sometimes proprietary solutions work (and users like them). Is it politically incorrect to mention this!?
6. What Is An Open Standard? Which of the following are open standards? PDF Flash Java MS Word Open Standards UKOLN's " What Are Open Standards? " briefing paper refers to characteristics of open standards: Neutral organisation which 'owns' standard & responsible for roadmap Open involvement in standards-making process Access to standard freely available … Note these characteristics do not apply equally to all standards bodies e.g. costs of BSI standards; W3C membership requirements; …
7. Compliance Issues What does must mean? You must comply with HTML standards What if I don't? What if nobody does? What if I use PDF? You must clear rights on all resources you digitise You must provide properly audited accounts What if I don't? There is a need to clarify the meaning of must and for an understandable, realistic and reasonable compliance regime Compliance JISC 5/99 programme ~80% of project home pages were not HTML compliant
8. The Context There will be a context to use of standards: The intended use: Mainstream Innovative / research Key middleware component Small-scale deliverable Organisational culture: National vs small museum Teaching vs Research Service vs development … Available Funding & Resources: Significant funding & training to use new standards Minimal funding - current skills should be used … Contextual Issues An open standards culture is being developed, which is supportive of use of open standards, but which recognises the complexities and can avoid mistakes made in the past
9. The Layered Standards Model JISC JISC / project 3 rd Parties Owner External Self assessment Penalties Learning Context: Compliance JISC's layered standards model, developed by UKOLN. Note that one size doesn't always fit all Quality Assurance External factors: institutional, cultural, legal, … Annotated Standards Catalogue Purpose Governance Maturity Risks … Prog. n Funding Research Sector … Context: Policies
10. Implementation How might this approach be used in practice? Contextual Model Programme XX Call / Contract Committees Advisers Programme Team Proposals must comply with XYZ standard Proposals should seek to comply with XYZ Proposals should describe approach to XYZ Projects audited to ensure compliance with … Projects should develop self-assessment QA procedures and submit findings to JISC Projects should submit proposed approach for approval/information Development Programme JISC Manager Report Contract Report must be in MS Word / … and use JISC template …
11. The Standards Catalogue The information provided aims to be simple and succinct (but document will still be large when printed!) Note recent feedback has identified the need for heading on usage in other programmes (i.e. political acceptance) Standard : Dublin Core About the Standard : Dublin Core is a metadata standard made up … Version : New terms are regularly added to … Maturity : Dublin Core has its origins in workshops held … Risk Assessment : Dublin Core plays a key role …. It is an important standard within the context of JISC development programmes. Further Information : DCMI, <http://dublincore.org/> … Author : Pete Johnston, UKOLN Contributor : Date Created : 04 Oct 2005 Update History : Initial version. Example Note that as the standards catalogue is intended for wide use the contents will need to be fairly general
12. Standards Catalogue Process There's a need for developing and enhancing the standards catalogue in order to: Update with new standards Learn from feedback and experiences Review Standards Feedback Policies Context Compliance Support Infrastructure QA Framework User Experiences Funder's Experiences … Standards E-Framework
13. Sustainability How do we Sustain, maintain & grow the standards catalogue? Develop a sustainable support infrastructure? Suggestions: More resources for support infrastructure Extend model to related areas to gain buy-in, etc Exploit learning gained by projects, reuse experiences, encourage sharing, etc.: Build on QA Focus approach (briefing docs and case studies) Contractual requirement for projects to produce end-user deliverables and deliverables related to development process Sustainability
14. Lessons From NOF-digi TAS What have we learnt from supporting the NOF-digi programme: Use of Standards Best practices not necessarily embedded if imposed externally Formal compliance monitoring can be expensive (& unproductive) Establishing Community of Practice Limitations of top-down & centralised support Sustainability problems of large, monolithic and centrally owned support resources Sustainability
15. Support Infrastructure Opportunity to exploit deliverables from JISC-funded QA Focus project: 100+ briefing documents & 30+ case studies Licensed (where possible) under Creative Commons UKOLN are continuing to publish new documents (documents on Folksonomies, AJAX, Podcasting, Wikis, etc. published recently) Case Study Template About the Project Area covered Approach taken Lessons Learnt / Things We'd Do Differently … Case studies: Opportunity to describe experiences in specific areas Standard template to ensure consistency & provide focus Allows UKOLN to promote projects' work Project get better Google rating Support
16. Support Infrastructure (2) How do we integrate the standards catalogue with implementation experiences, etc. Linking to related information in Wikipedia (the world can help the updating) Uploading information to Wikipedia – the wider community can help to update and maintain it Making information available with CC licences – so others can use it, update it – and hopefully give feedback on enhancements Use of syndication technologies (RSS & OPML) Support Note this is a Web 2.0 approach: Uses Web 2.0 syndication technologies Trusts users and benefits from a wide user base Contributes to Web 2.0 services
17. Support Model Different stakeholders have different interests Developers Selection of standards & architectures Users Is it usable? Will it do what I want? Will I use it? Can I use it in various contexts? Funders, etc Addressing differing interests
18. Similar Approaches Elsewhere AHRC (Arts & Humanities Research Council) programmes: Requirement for bids to include technical appendix Covers open standards, metadata, documentation, rights, preservation, … Bids marked by technical experts Flawed technical proposals are informed of deficiencies Training and Advice provided to community to help raise awareness of best practices and improve quality of development proposals Support
19. Parallels With Web 2.0 This approach has many parallels with Web 2.0 Web 2.0 Culture Openness: Encourage of sharing by developers (problems as well as successes); use of CC; … Always beta: There is not a single correct solution, but a process of continual development User-focussed: Importance of satisfying user communities, rather than a set of rules Web 2.0 technologies Alerts & Syndication: Speedy alerts for fellow developers and reuse of content for developers Blogs & Wikis: Tools for developers to facilitate sharing and collaborative working Web 2.0
20. Example: Syndicating Content Note importance of: (a) RSS and OPML (b) modular approach and (c) Creative Commons licence to maximise use & reuse of 100+ briefing documents QA Focus resources are embedded in University of Waterloo Web site. Resources are also being ported to a Wiki to support ongoing maintenance by Web Standards community.
21. Conclusions To conclude: Open standards are important for large-scale development work It is therefore important to have a pragmatic approach and not hide behind dogma The contextual approach: Allows scope to address complexities of technologies; deployment environments; etc. Best deployed within a supportive open standards culture Can be extended to other relevant areas We can use Creative Commons licences for standards information; support materials; etc. We can (and should) take a Web 2.0 approach to support materials (and not just end user services) Conclusions
