The nature of digital content

• Principles of online content– granularity– hyper/links– disaggregation & aggregation– integration– inter-operability

Nature of digital content

• Digital components can be taken apart and reconstituted – in multiple forms – across many platforms– can be done repeatedly – in innovative configurations

• Can be analysed and mined by technology

Digital content

• Copying content is easy and free• Sharing means multiplying (not dividing) &

broadcasting• Changes in content– creation– communication & collaboration– dissemination

Digital content

• Content is no longer static• Content can be made available– speedily (immediately)

• Content can be – changed– annotated – commented on – updated– interacted with

Discipline- specific forms

Open Research

• Replicable (transparency - method)• Reusable (results free for re-use and

appropriation)• Replayable (tools available for appropriation)• Collaborative• Interdisciplinary• Granular• Immediacy factor

Openness is a serious consideration

• The academic “spring” momentum

Changes in online academic sphere

• Content– online , discoverable, can be interacted with, role of repositories

(institutional & disciplinary)• Communication – part of disciplinary communities, eresearch virtual

environments, blur with content• Process– transparent, visible as content, new research processes,

• Presence – Academics’ digital identities (personal, professional,

organisational)

Emerging roles & skills’ sets

• Academics’ “reputation management”• Changing research dissemination strategies• Changing libraries• Curation

– expert curation– disciplinary-based curation

• Enabling a “culture of contribution”• New technical areas

– aggregration– analytics etc

• Changing research itself (eg digital humanities, data mining etc)

New tools

What needs to be done?

An enabling environment

• Policy regulation and infrastructure – national, regional and institutional

• Support for Open Access and Open Education• Attention to structures and business models• Protection and support for Intellectual Property in

digital environment– open licensing

• Training in new skills’ sets

e-Infrastructure

• Investment in systems for curation - Data centres - Repositories • Investment in systems, processes & tools– to track impact– to enhance discoverability– to undertake research (text mining etc)

• Harmonised regional collaborative approach– Grid services– Bandwidth– Storage

Enabling the “global networked scholar”

• Reward and incentives for sharing content• Support for online presence / digital identity– the use of social software for scholarly purposes

• Awareness about open licensing• Enabling Open Access and Open Education • Funding for and acknowledgement of scholarly

communication & research dissemination activities

What can be done collaboratively?
