    Operational Research Literature as a Use Case for the Open Research Knowledge Graph
    (Cham : Springer, 2020) Runnwerth, Mila; Stocker, Markus; Auer, Sören; Bigatti, Anna Maria; Carette, Jacques; Davenport, James H.; Joswig, Michael; de Wolff, Timo
    The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) provides machine-actionable access to scholarly literature that habitually is written in prose. Following the FAIR principles, the ORKG makes traditional, human-coded knowledge findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable in a structured manner in accordance with the Linked Open Data paradigm. At the moment, in ORKG papers are described manually, but in the long run the semantic depth of the literature at scale needs automation. Operational Research is a suitable test case for this vision because the mathematical field and, hence, its publication habits are highly structured: A mundane problem is formulated as a mathematical model, solved or approximated numerically, and evaluated systematically. We study the existing literature with respect to the Assembly Line Balancing Problem and derive a semantic description in accordance with the ORKG. Eventually, selected papers are ingested to test the semantic description and refine it further.

    A memory institution for the digital age
    (Novosibirsk : Red.-Izdat. Otdel, 2020) Arndt, Susanne; Begoin, Mathias; Runnwerth, Mila
    The German National Library for Science and Technology (TIB) seizes the opportunity of an epochal change into the Digital Age, inter alia, by maintaining a prestigious research department covering the areas data science & digital libraries, visual analytics, scientific data management, knowledge infrastructures, learning & skill analytics, open science, and non-textual media. Without neglecting the original mission of collecting and curating literature for a widespread access to scientific information, TIB merges well-established processes with intelligent assistance tools. The Specialised Information Service for Mobility and Traffic Science (FID move) is one example of combining the mentioned research areas in order to build a user-centred subject-specific research infrastructure to support and shape tomorrow’s scientific work. We give a detailed introduction to the project’s action fields: web service platform, information supply with a focus on open access, strategy & structure for reusable research data, research community exchange & networking, communication strategies for the public & for scientists. Exemplary, we present the ongoing activities in building a comprehensive knowledge organisation system for e-mobility.

    Fachnetzwerk Mathematik - Ein Werkstattbericht
    (Zenodo, 2018) Rügge, Jennifer; Runnwerth, Mila
    Je größer eine wissenschaftliche Bibliothek ist, desto wichtiger werden eine gut funktionierende interne Wissensweitergabe und Synergienutzung zwischen einzelnen Bereichen. An der TIB als Zentraler Fachbibliothek für Technik und Naturwissenschaften ist diese Herausforderung umso mehr gegeben, geht es doch um die Vernetzung der Forschungsabteilung mit den nutzungsnahen Dienstleistern der Bibliothek, zu denen auch Publikationsdienste und überregionale Dokumentlieferung gehören, die Sichtbarmachung der Sonderbestände bspw. des AV-Portals und der darauf aufbauenden Dienstleistungen. Dabei bringt der Forschungsbereich die Trendforschung und Unterstützung für die digitale Präsentation unserer Angebote mit, während der Bibliotheksbereich mit direktem Austausch und Vermittlung befasst ist. Um fachspezifische, nutzer- und situationszentrierte Angebote für die Informationskompetenz (IK) umfassend entwickeln zu können, wurde ein Konzept entwickelt, das die vorhandene Struktur ergänzt und anhand eines Piloten - des Fachnetzwerks Mathematik - seit August 2017 erprobt wird. Voraus ging eine eingehende Betrachtung der Organisationsstruktur der TIB mit ihren vielfältigen Aufgaben und möglichen Kommunikationshürden. Zudem wurde das Vorhaben mit dem 2017 verabschiedeten neuen IK-Konzept der TIB abgeglichen, das u.a. darauf fokussiert, die Angebote der Bibliothek orts- und zeitunabhängig bereitzustellen. Schließlich folgten Interviews mit Bibliotheken, die sich bereits in fachlichen AGs organisieren. Nach der bisherigen Probelaufzeit hat sich der Austausch zwischen den Beteiligten signifikant verbessert. Auch die Kommunikation zu externen Partnern konnte intensiviert werden. Die Entwicklung neuer Angebote gewinnt durch die Kreativität und das Feedback der beteiligten KollegInnen mit heterogenem fachlichen Hintergrund - sodass das Modell Fachnetzwerk nach bisheriger Erfahrung als zukunftsfähiges IK-Modell für zeitgemäße, ansprechende und qualitativ hochwertige Angebote empfohlen wird.

    Micro archives as rich digital object representations
    (Zenodo, 2018) Holzmann, Helge; Runnwerth, Mila
    Digital objects as well as real-world entities are commonly referred to in literature or on the Web by mentioning their name, linking to their website or citing unique identifiers, such as DOI and ORCID, which are backed by a set of meta information. All of these methods have severe disadvantages and are not always suitable though: They are not very precise, not guaranteed to be persistent or mean a big additional effort for the author, who needs to collect the metadata to describe the reference accurately. Especially for complex, evolving entities and objects like software, pre-defined metadata schemas are often not expressive enough to capture its temporal state comprehensively. We found in previous work that a lot of meaningful information about software, such as a description, rich metadata, its documentation and source code, is usually available online. However, all of this needs to be preserved coherently in order to constitute a rich digital representation of the entity. We show that this is currently not the case, as only 10% of the studied blog posts and roughly 30% of the analyzed software websites are archived completely, i.e., all linked resources are captured as well. Therefore, we propose Micro Archives as rich digital object representations, which semantically and logically connect archived resources and ensure a coherent state. With Micrawler we present a modular solution to create, cite and analyze such Micro Archives. In this paper, we show the need for this approach as well as discuss opportunities and implications for various applications also beyond scholarly writing.

    Preserving information on mathematical software via web archives
    (Zenodo, 2018) Holzmann, Helge; Runnwerth, Mila
    Software is an essential ingredient in mathematical research especially in numerical analysis, mathematical modelling, and statistics. However, the traditional publication process has not come up with a satisfyingly neat solution to reference software yet, taking into account its dynamics in order to allow for reproducibility. While software on GitHub might be ”cited” by linking to the repository including the precise commit given by its SHA signature, commercial software can only be referenced by its web presence most of the time. In 2016, we evaluated swMath, a database for information on mathematical software, on how a software’s archived web site reflects its development. We found, although some web sites are already archived and indeed provide a temporal overview of their corresponding software’s development including documentation, there is need for improvement. In 2017, we presented a demo framework to archive and cite software homepages adding a time stamp. Our vision is a service to archive semantically linked web sites of mathematical software on the basis of swMATH. The resulting archive contains all information on the software at a specific time and can be cited in a traditional publication via DOI.
