Samenvatting:
Iedereen is auteur en schrijft blogs en tweets (microblog): artikelen met workflow “werk, schrijf, publiceer” daalt. (publish-then-filter approach)
Meer gefragmenteerde wetenschappelijke output met ‘draft’ status
Open peer review/discussies van deze wetenschappelijke fragmenten (“Liquid science”)
Hiervoor moeten alle wetenschappelijke fragmenten publiekelijk toegankelijk zijn
Alle wetenschappelijke fragmenten worden relationeel met elkaar verbonden, ook de discussies en commentaren zijn waardevol in het wetenschappelijke kenniscreatie proces.
Wetenschap wordt vergeleken met de “cultural goods market”; wetenschappelijke output met muziek in de entertainment industrie. Wetenschap gaat dezelfde …

[presentation by Ben Bosman, @mire]
@mire has build a GUI for statistics on Dspace at the administrator side.
User requirments: a survey has been held. Repository managers would like to see the popularity of items, collectiions or communities.
Technology: They use Apache Solr (fork of Lucene) for indexing and fast search and faceted browsing.
Advantages: statistics are context aware. This means the items are aware of the D-space hierarchy, group items, bitstream and pageviews
Visualize: using the SOLR faceted search, the popular items, collections and communities can be easily shown in matter of milliseconds. This …

Object Reuse and Exchange (ORE) is a framework for creating collections of related scientific work. ORE an initiative of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). Web resources can be related to one another in a semantic web machine readable way. The collections or aggregations of web resources can be stored in distributed locations such as web pages and online archives. This in contrast to web services that are locking-in the data, so other users are obliged to use the same service.
When many many aggregations are made one is able to discover …

Dan Pink spoke on TED.com about the way traditional businesses are build is often still with the old mindset from the industrial era using incentives like the “carrot and the stick” model to increase production performance. However for more complex tasks people get paralysed when put under pressure to perform by higher rewards. Rewarding systems work better when the task is simple and the details are well scripted, like in repetitive manufacturing work.
In this clip he explains the concept, and the statistics behind it.

Below you will find a thesis I have witten for the MasterClass course Innovation Management. This thesis is about how SURFfoundation (the organisation I work for) can improve the commitment of innovation of every employee throughout the organisation of every single University and Research institute that is a member of SURFfoundation.
Unfortunately for the English readers, this has been written in Dutch. For the Dutch readers, enjoy reading!
There is a Disclaimer: this thesis is only fictional, and does not reflect the way SURFfoundation is moving ahead in the future. …

You might have noticed it already at Friday the launch of Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com).
The semantic search engine from Wolfram Mathematica that gives you answers based on many many linked databases.
(this one is simple in queries and interface, runs smooth, and looks sexy)
For example “how many times fits the goldengate bridge between the moon and the earth?”:
http://www59.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=distance+moon+earth+%2F+length+golden+gate+bridge
Not only the interpretation ans presentation of the data is magnificent, especially when you ask about chemical structures or music notes
http://www59.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=D%20dominant%20eleventh , but how the data is connected?
With this we see that Open Data becomes …

hier komt een stuk over infrastructuur
Het gaat over de motivatie waarom we nou zo nodig moeten veranderen, is er een besef van urgentie?
kernwoorden kunnen zijn:
infrastructuur, standaarden
diversiteit aan diensten
wetenschap op de dag van vandaag is conservatief
wat weten wetenschappers over wetenschapsdynamica en wetenschapsprocessen zelf
kort overzicht van de geldstromen
geen systemen die een probleem oplossen waardoor dubbele informatie in dubbele formulieren moet worden ingevuld… redundantie vermijden, dus moet er opnieuw gekeken worden naar het totaalplaatje van het proces.
besef vanurgentie: is “open access” het verhaal waarbij we moeten inhaken om een efficientere kennis cultuur te …
