Investigation as a member of research discourse Vasily Bunakov Science and Technology Facilities Council United Kingdom Digital Libraries: Advanced Methods and Technologies, Digital Collections. Dubna, Russia, October 16, 2014
STFC Funds and operates large scale instruments for the UK and visitor researchers in: - physics, astronomy - chemistry, materials - biology, medicine Scientific Computing develops and operates computing infrastructure: - High Performance Computing - Petabyte data store - CERN LHC Tier 1 hub also conducts applied research and does software development

Computing support throughout the scientific lifecycle STFC Scientific Computing supports each stage in the JISCMail e-pubs work of researchers from background research through Grid conducting simulations and Grid Computing Computing experiments, to analysing and archiving data.
Facilities Research Lifecycle Record Proposal Publication Subsequent Approval publication Data registered with analysis facility Scientist submits application for Scheduling beamtime Data storage Experiment Tools for processing made Raw data filtered, Facility committee available and stored approves Scientists visits, Facility registers, facility run’s application trains, and A corresponding intellectual entity: experiment schedules Investigation scientist’s visit ICAT data catalogue software: http://code.google.com/p/icatproject/
DOIs for experimental data Much cheaper DOIs than directly from DOI Foundation www.DataCite.org
Our DOIs landing pages are in fact for Investigations (series of Experiments) LCDP 2013
ICAT data catalogue called from DOI landing page https://data.isis.stfc.ac.uk/TOPCATWeb.jsp#view///&&tab=Search//&Model =INVESTIGATION&ServerName=ISIS&InvestigationId=24071239
What can cite what Citations “from” Publication Investigation Dataset Software column “to” row Publication V V V V Investigation V V V V Dataset X V V (derived or V (simulation) aggregated datasets) Software V X V (testing) V (software libraries, service calls)
Publication and Investigation similarity No Feature / aspect Publication Investigation Is an intellectual entity V V 1 Is a subject of peer review V V (via 2 proposal approval) Can cite all significant intellectual entities of a V V 3 research discourse Citation chains (steps of discourse) observed V V 4 Universal identifiers “mints” available V V 5 This gives Investigation a potential for a “full membership” in the research discourse along with Publication. Datasets and software are likely to remain “associated members” because of weaker features 2, 3 and a de-facto weaker feature 5.
Publications and investigations network
How to link Publications and Investigations? Bibliographic Reference in ICAT Data ePubs Publications Catalogue (a few thousand records) Repository Reference Pratt et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, Phys Rev Lett 96 247203 247203 (2006) (2006) Phys Rev B 73 Lancaster et al, Phys. Rev B73, 020410 (2006) 020410(R) (2005) J Phys Condens Blundell and Pratt, J. Phys.: Condens.

Beyond bibliographic records matching Publications repository Data catalogue records records and their DOI (investigation descriptions) landing pages Instruments / departments Instruments to investigations tags mapping Authors Researchers’ names Publication title Investigation title Authors’ organizations Researchers’ organizations Publication date Investigation period Abstract Investigation description Keywords, e.g. PACS indices ICAT keywords A few thousand publications mapped with publications repository on previous stage could be used for tuning and testing the machine learning techniques
What represents facilities research? Today: Tomorrow: Yesterday: publications and data “facility - centric” Linked publications (in fact, Investigations) Open Data cloud Publications Publications Publica tions catalogue catalogue Experi Research Awards ments + Selected ontologies Experiment descriptions catalogue Selected external Linked Data

Information entities circulating in your research domain • What are they? (beyond publications) • Do they have a clear identity? • Do they circulate in your organization only or universally across organizations? • Can they be linked with publications and other information entities? • Can they be linked with the world-wide data cloud?
