EMC Heritage Trust Project Awards
Contributed by: EMC Corporation recently announced the EMC Heritage Trust Project, which recognizes and supports projects in local communities around the world that are designed to protect invaluable information and improve access to it. Examples include digitization of the collections of a local library, museum or historical society; or of a significant private collection of music, letters, or art; or the archives and records of a local business, cultural, or educational institution. EMC Heritage Trust Project awards consist of cash grants ranging from $5,000 to $15,000. Nomination forms and complete program details are available at <http://www.EMC.com/heritage_trust>. The deadline for applications is November 30, 2007. Judging will be completed by January 30, 2008, and grant winners notified by February 14, 2008. Investigating overlay journals: introducing the RIOJA Project
Contributed by: Introduction RIOJA (Repository Interface to Overlaid Journal Archives) is a 1-year partnership between UCL (University College London), Imperial College London, and the Universities of Glasgow, Cambridge and Cornell. The project will work with the Astrophysics community to investigate aspects of overlay journals. For the purposes of the project, an overlay journal is defined as an open access, quality-assured journal whose content is held on one or more repositories. The concept of the overlay journal dates back at least as far as 1996 [1], but exemplars have been few and far between. Modern Astrophysics research offers an interesting environment in which to put an overlay model to the test, because of the growing importance of the arXiv repository to the discipline. Anecdotal evidence suggests not only that depositing papers with arXiv is the norm for this community, but also that arXiv meets many of the community's current awareness needs. In the RIOJA model, a journal overlaid onto arXiv would add quality assurance (whether through peer review or other means) to papers deposited to and stored in the repository. The main function of the journal's Web site would be to guide researchers to "accepted" papers – those awarded its quality stamp after a speedy but robust refereeing process. Those papers would continue to reside on arXiv. This model could potentially deliver fast certification of research, with much lower costs than those associated with the traditional publication model. Project Aims For the project, researchers in Astrophysics are working with librarians and arXiv staff to build a demonstrator overlay journal. This pilot work will also involve the creation of a toolkit, supporting functions such as author validation, metadata extraction from the source repository, and submission tracking. Aside from creating the demonstrator and its underlying tools, the project will endeavour to turn some of the anecdote mentioned above into fact, by carrying out a large-scale survey of the Astrophysics community. The survey will collect data about research practice. It will also probe the views of the community about published journals. The basic overlay model described above only manages the core function of peer review, while journal publishers argue that their services (such as links to data sets) add value to accepted papers. The survey will aim to ascertain which "value-added" services are truly valued by researchers in this discipline. Finally, RIOJA will attempt to analyse the costs of maintaining a functional overlay journal in Astrophysics, incorporating the services identified as most valuable by the survey participants. The costings will take long-term preservation into account, and RIOJA will be working with the UCL/British Library LIFE Project [2] to identify the digital preservation requirements and costs for an arXiv-overlay model. Astrophysics is an example of the close integration of a subject repository into the daily life of the researcher, and repository use is not so firmly embedded in the research workflows of other disciplines. However, the toolkit is being designed to be adaptable, as far as possible, to repository-overlay scenarios in other disciplines, and the survey methodology will also be repeatable in different contexts. Other outputs from the project, like the survey findings and costings analysis, may also help to inform future overlay work in other research communities. Progress The toolkit and demonstrator journal Web site are in development, for completion early in 2008. The questionnaire survey ran between early June and mid-July 2007. Some 4000 Astrophysicists and Cosmologists from the top science institutions (100 academic institutions and 15 non-academic) were invited to participate in the survey and provide their views, and a healthy 683 responses were received. Preliminary findings indicate that researchers are, in general, sympathetic to the overlay model, albeit with concerns about the long-term accessibility of the research material, and the quality of the certification process. A report on the survey will be released towards the end of 2007. Further Information RIOJA is funded by the JISC (the UK Joint Information Systems Committee), and it runs until April 2008.

Bungee View: An open-source visualization-based interface to search, browse, and data-mine image collections
Contributed by: Faceted catalog browsers support navigation through hierarchies of terms, such as subject headings or place names. Those with tag clouds show terms that are non-hierarchically related to the current search. In both cases, the number of possible navigation choices is limited to a few dozen by the space required for text labels. Bungee View is an end-user interface for browsing a library or museum collection that uses visualization rather than text to enable the display of thousands of hierarchical facets, as well as thousands of non-hierarchical relationships among them. For instance, in images of World War II from the Library of Congress American Memory Collection, 43 of 1712 images have the subject heading "glider", which is 50 times the frequency with which it appears overall. In Bungee View, this relationship is highlighted in the normal course of browsing, just as with tag clouds. Even non-technical users can attend to these relationships, and pursue interesting ones: were gliders used as part of the war effort? If so, how? and why were they better than powered planes? This kind of collection data-mining is potentially an exciting new capability for patron interfaces. Bungee View is open-source, and several collections are available for you to try at <http://cityscape.inf.cs.cmu.edu/bungee/>. I'm eager to work with institutions to make their collections available through Bungee View, or for suggestions to improve it. It is especially well suited to image collections, but other collections could be used as well. Good meta-data is required in any case.

The work will be conducted by a combination of industry trade associations, private sector companies and nonprofits, as well as cultural heritage institutions." "Several of the projects will involve developing standardized approaches to content formats and metadata (the information that makes electronic content discoverable by search engines), which are expected to increase greatly the chances that the digital content of today will survive to become America's cultural patrimony tomorrow. Although many of the creative content industries have begun to look seriously at what will be needed to sustain digital content over time, the $2.15 million being awarded to the Preserving Creative America projects will provide added impetus for collaborations within and across industries, as well as with libraries and archives." "...Preserving Creative America is the most recent initiative of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (www.digitalpreservation.gov), authorized by Congress in December 2000. The authorizing legislation specifies that the Library should enlist the private sector to help address the long-term preservation of digital content. A cornerstone of NDIIPP has been the establishment of a broad network of partners committed to the continuing stewardship of digital content of value to Congress and the nation. With the new awards, the NDIIPP network grows to more than 90 partners, including other government agencies, educational institutions, research laboratories and organizations, both in the United States and abroad. Previous NDIIPP projects have involved primarily educational and cultural heritage institutions."
