    VIVO Lab at the German National Library of Science and Technology: Review and outlook
    (Zenodo, 2016) Walther, Tatiana; Blümel, Ina; Heller, Lambert
    This poster gives an overview about past, current and future activities of the VIVO Lab – a sub-group of the Open Science Lab at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB). In the past there have been several corporate projects and implementations around VIVO, including the past corporate VIVO project – VIVO for the TIB, which was complemented with the additional features (VIVOPath and VIVO Deutsches Handbuch). The current subject area of the VIVO Lab covers, among other things, the alignment of the Research Core Dataset (KDSF) to the VIVO-ISF and the integration of the national standard into VIVO, which is planned to be applied as a new model of the TIB VIVO for internal assessment and reporting.

    Discovery and efficient reuse of technology pictures using Wikimedia infrastructures. A proposal
    (Zenodo, 2016) Heller, Lambert; Blümel, Ina; Cartellieri, Simone; Wartena, Christian
    Multimedia objects, especially images and figures, are essential for the visualization and interpretation of research findings. The distribution and reuse of these scientific objects is significantly improved under open access conditions, for instance in Wikipedia articles, in research literature, as well as in education and knowledge dissemination, where licensing of images often represents a serious barrier. Whereas scientific publications are retrievable through library portals or other online search services due to standardized indices there is no targeted retrieval and access to the accompanying images and figures yet. Consequently there is a great demand to develop standardized indexing methods for these multimedia open access objects in order to improve the accessibility to this material. With our proposal, we hope to serve a broad audience which looks up a scientific or technical term in a web search portal first. Until now, this audience has little chance to find an openly accessible and reusable image narrowly matching their search term on first try - frustratingly so, even if there is in fact such an image included in some open access article.
