Reproducibility and reusability of research results is an important concern in scientific communication science policy. A foundational element reproducibility the open persistently available presentation data. However, many common approaches for primary data publication use today do not achieve sufficient long-term robustness, openness, accessibility or uniformity. Nor they permit comprehensive exploitation by modern Web technologies. This has led to several authoritative studies...
The integration of heterogeneous data in varying formats and from diverse communities requires an improved understanding the concept a dataset, key related concepts, such as format, encoding, version. Ultimately, normative formal framework concepts will be needed to support effective curation, integration, use shared multi-disciplinary scientific data. To prepare for development this we reviewed definitions dataset found technical documentation literature. Four basic features can identified...
Abstract The current mechanisms by which scholars and their work are evaluated across higher education unsustainable and, we argue, increasingly corrosive. Relying on a limited set of proxy measures, systems evaluation fail to recognize reward the many dependencies upon healthy scholarly ecosystem relies. Drawing HuMetricsHSS Initiative, this essay argues that aligning values with practices, recognizing vital processes enrich produced, grounding our indicators quality in degree academy live...
In this article, we describe a conceptual model for video games and interactive media. Existing models such as the F unctional R equirements B ibliographic ecords ( FRBR ) are not adequate to represent unique descriptive attributes, levels of variance, relationships among games. Previous game‐specific tend focus on development their technical aspects. Our instead attempts reflect how users game players, collectors, scholars understand them. We specifically consider use cases gamers, with...

Abstract Heterogeneous digital data that has been produced by different communities with varying practices and assumptions, is organized according to representation schemes, encodings, file formats, presents substantial obstacles efficient integration, analysis, preservation. This a particular impediment reuse interdisciplinary science. An underlying problem we have no shared formal conceptual model of information both accurate sufficiently detailed accommodate the management analysis real...
The concept of significant properties, properties that must be identified and preserved in any successful digital object preservation, is now common data curation. Although this notion has clearly demonstrated its usefulness cultural heritage domains application to the preservation scientific datasets not as well developed. One obstacle familiar models are sufficiently explicit identify relevant entities, relationships involved dataset preservation. We present a logic-based formal framework...
ABSTRACT This paper identifies and defines common relationships among video games interactive media in an attempt to improve our understanding of support conceptual data modeling this domain. Existing models standards such as Dublin Core, Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, Resource Description Access, CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, Cataloging Cultural Objects do offer a variety between resources; however, many are related more complex ways that cannot be adequately...
The connection between notation and the content it expresses is always contingent, mediated through complex layers of interpretation. Some bears directly on encoder's intention to convey a particular meaning, while other concerns structures in which that meaning expressed organized. Interpretive frames are abstractions serve as context for symbolic expressions. They form backdrop dependencies data management preservation strategies. Situation semantics offers theoretical grounding...
In this poster we present the preliminary output of a study meant to analyze applicability InSPECT Assessment Framework particular kind complex digital artifact: video games. We discuss open issues and possible improvements in assessment workflow.
This poster explores relationships among video games in an attempt to better understand the domain of and interactive media as well improve user access games. Video are related complex ways that cannot be adequately represented by contemporary conceptual models like Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). Relationships between game editions, series, distribution methods additional content all pose challenges those seeking describe a user-centered way.
This short article provides operational guidance on implementing scholarly data citation and deposition, in conformance with the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles (JDDCP, http://force11.org/datacitation) to help achieve widespread, uniform human machine accessibility deposited data. The JDDCP is outcome a cross-domain effort establish core principles around cited publications. It deals important issues identification, description, accessibility, persistence, evidential status...

Abstract Previously we asked, “When is a record data and when it fish?” (Wickett et al., 2012 ). In this work, ask, “when in what contexts are fish equivalent?” We describe compare collection of potentially equivalent records describing Mola mola , or Ocean Sunfish, specimen. calculate the Metadata Coverage Index (MCI) each explore use Systematic Assertion Model (Dubin, 2010 ) to support investigation assertions contained these records.
