Monday, June 11th, 9:15 am - 10:15 am, Betts Theatre (First Floor) Yes, the endless progression of all things towards loss, destruction and disappearance are a bit of a bummer, but that's no reason to be down about it! Against the wave of thrown-up hands and jettisoned heritage comes The Archive Team, a rogue band of activist preservationists who are attacking the problem from all sides, logic and futility be tossed. Archive Team's mascot, Jason Scott, will walk through the groups' approach to the problem, solutions found so far, and lay out the groundwork for where this wheels-off-the-cart mineshaft is leading. |

Big Data Is Already Here, and It’s Not Always What We Think ABSTRACT Libraries have over 20 years experience in managing large numbers of digital files, and indexing catalog records and full-text documents. In the last several years, research libraries in general have been facing a growing expectation that large digital library collections and record sets can be mined and analyzed for research purposes. Many Libraries now have several collections of unstructured or semi-structured content that can be measured in hundreds of terabytes. This panel will address trends and forecasts for the introduction, adoption and maturity of tools and services and configurations of technical environments to support processing, management, mining, indexing, and analysis of large volumes of unstructured digital content. |

Tuesday, June 12th, 9:00 am - 10:00 am, Betts Theatre (First Floor) Reproducibility, at least in principle if not in practice, underpins the scientific method. For an experimental finding to be reproducible its materials must be available and its methods clear, accurate and transparent. In in silico science the materials and methods are digital: datasets, digital publications and software. For the materials the case is being made for the public availability and reusability of scientific data, and open access to publications. But what about curation and preservation of digital experimental method? To truly reproduce results we need methodological transparency. One increasingly important class of digital method is the scientific workflow: an executable description of procedures that define the sequence of computational steps in an automated data analysis. However, things are never simple. Workflows are executable software sensitive to their components and their environments. Decay in a component leads to decay of the workflow. Consequently, Wf4Ever (www.wf4ever-project.org) is an EU-funded project that aims to develop technological infrastructure for the preservation and efficient retrieval and reuse of scientific workflows as a step towards scientific reproducibility. In this talk I will explore the reality of in silico science reproducibility. In particular I will: highlight the confusions and spectrums of what we mean by reproducibility; differentiate between the preservation of workflows and conservation of workflows; and sketch the role provenance has to play. I will present our first steps towards reproducibility framework based on semantically encoded suitable Research Objects and the services that support their creation and management. I will draw on our extensive experience of Linked Data; our scientific domains ranging from Astrophysics, Genomics, and Biodiversity, to Digital document preservation and Social Science; and our software and services: the Taverna Scientific Workflow System; the myExperiment workflow community sharing environment; the BioCatalogue of community contributed Web Services in the Life Sciences; and the dLibra digital document repository. |

Wednesday, June 13th, 11:00 am - 12:15 pm Location: Betts Theatre "There is as it were a continued Chain of Ideas coyled up in the Repository of the Brain, the first end of which is farthest removed from the Center or Seat of the Soul where the Ideas are formed, which is always the Moment present when considered,” explained Robert Hooke in 1680, before estimating the number of distinct ideas that could be stored in a single human brain. Over the next three centuries, the costs of data storage (and retrieval) have declined to where the cost of storing (and indexing) information is often less than the cost of making a decision to throw it away. The advent of high-speed random-access memory in the mid-twentieth century highlights how we got to here from there. |
