Classifying Research Activity in SHARE with Natural Language Processing

Process flowchart

Developers at the Center for Open Science (COS) working on the SHARE project are constantly looking for ways to improve SHARE’s highly variable metadata about scholarly and research activity. One challenging, but valuable, task that they tackled recently was adding subject areas to the metadata so users can have more options and control when searching and filtering documents.

COS intern Jiankun Liu describes how he used machine learning to automate the process of adding subject labels to records in SHARE with fairly high precision. Thanks to this work SHARE users can now filter search results using subject tags.

Read Jiankun’s post about automating subject tagging in SHARE with machine learning.

Rick’s MetaTips: Assessing and Improving SHARE’s Metadata Structure

In the latest MetaTips article, SHARE Operations Team member Rick Johnson provides an update on developments around SHARE’s metadata schema. Now, a little over a year since the launch of SHARE Notify, SHARE has captured over 7 million research events. In doing so, we have made great progress in our mission to make research more discoverable. We have also laid the groundwork to take the next steps toward goals we have had in mind for SHARE from the beginning. These goals are driving a reassessment of our metadata structure.

SHARE Gains 4 Metadata Providers, Tracks 7.2 Million Research Releases

Adding new metadata providers gives SHARE Notify a more diverse and inclusive set of data about research release events around the world. This month we welcome four new research metadata sources:

  • Boise State University ScholarWorks
  • Digital Collections of Colorado
  • Northern Kentucky University Institutional Repository
  • Triceratops: TriCollege Libraries Institutional Repository

SHARE Notify has captured 7.2 million research release events from 116 metadata providers, and is adding more every day.

If you would like to make your organization’s publications, data, repository holdings, or other research discoverable via SHARE, register to become a metadata provider or forward this e-mail to your digital repository manager and ask them to register.

SHARE Community Meeting to Convene July 11–14

Join SHARE at the Center for Open Science in Charlottesville, Virginia, July 11–14, 2016, to build SHARE’s community and technology.

The Community Meeting goals and objectives are action-oriented—SHARE is looking for tangible opportunities to advance its work of building a free, open, data set about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle.

The SHARE community is a diverse group of digital repository managers, librarians, metadata experts, open science advocates, and others in the scholarly communications ecosystem.

The meeting is structured in two parts: a hackathon on Monday–Tuesday, July 11–12, and a community meeting on Wednesday–Thursday, July 13–14. Register for one or both parts of the meeting by Friday, June 10. There is no registration fee.

The community meeting will take place at the Omni Charlottesville Hotel and the Center for Open Science. There is a sleeping-room block at the Omni Charlottesville with a rate of $149/night if booked by Friday, May 27. Make your reservation by calling the Omni directly and mentioning the Center for Open Science or by using the online reservation system.

Read more, register for the meeting, and reserve a hotel room.

COS’s Erin Braswell Named 59th Most Awesome Woman in Open Source on GitHub, 1st on SHARE

On May 25 the source{d} blog published a list of “100 Awesome Women in the Open-Source Community You Should Know,” which ranks the top female contributors of open source code to GitHub repositories based on number of commits (files saved to a local repository) and source{d}’s version of PageRank. Erin Braswell, the lead developer of SHARE at the Center for Open Science (COS), is number 59 on this list. The SHARE Operations Team has subsequently named Erin the number 1 awesome woman in open source on SHARE!

SHARE Knowledge Base

There is a wealth of resources to help you better comprehend and communicate the ins and outs of SHARE as we build a free, open, data set about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle:

  • Flyer about SHARE—to help you spread the word about the growing SHARE data set and the opportunity to register for SHARE Notify. Please reproduce and distribute this flyer on your campus or at meetings you attend.
  • FAQ about SHARE Notify Beta—If you have questions about the SHARE Notify beta, such as, “How do I subscribe to SHARE notifications?” or “How do I filter my SHARE search results by institution?”, visit the FAQ for answers. Submit additional questions to info@www.share-research.org.
  • SHARE Knowledge Base—provides short, non-technical answers to key SHARE questions ranging from “Who is behind SHARE?” to “What is SHARE doing about data?” If you or someone on your campus has a practical or conceptual question about SHARE, the Knowledge Base is likely to have your answer.
  • EDUCAUSE Review article on SHARE—Tyler Walters and Judy Ruttenberg describe SHARE’s first project, the SHARE Notification Service (now called SHARE Notify), as well as the other three layers of SHARE that will be developed in tandem with the Notification Service: a distributed content and registry layer, a discovery layer, and a content-aggregation layer that moves beyond curation and discovery to facilitate data and text mining.
  • SHARE on the Open Science Framework—Technical developments pertaining to SHARE Notify are discussed and tracked in real time on the Open Science Framework. The SHARE Open Science Framework site includes a list of active notification sources and consumers, as well as information regarding prototypes, APIs, and other key issues. The site is open and welcomes public input.
