The Who ?

German: Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB)

• largest science and technology library globally

• over 9 Mio. items,

• 180 Mio. Documents (GetInfo Portal)

• 125 km of shelving

• national library of Germany for

• engineering, technology, and the physicalsciences.

• founded in 1959 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German states.

• operates in conjunction with the Leibniz University, Hannover.

Worldwide first Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration agency for datasets from Science/Technology and Medicine (since 2005)

TIB Service Example: Digital Object Identifier Registration for Scientific Data

14

A TIB Service since January 2015

Provides access to high grade scientific films from the fields of engineering, architecture, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics in German and English.

TIB Service Example: TIB|AV-Portal service for audio-visual Information

15

The TIB|AV-PortalServing Academia and Industry

– including Geoinformatics

TIB collects audiovisual content related to Geoinformatics:

• Geoinformatics-content in German

• German conference proceedings

• International submissions upon request

Benefits:

• Searchable

• Citable (via DOI)

• Sustainable use (preservation)

Starting Point: OSGeo Projects

• Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) NGO

• Foundation projects who are selected for membership statusbased on their active contribution to foundation projects and governance.

• German Chapter: FOSSGIS e.V.

22

Variety: Recurring topics in OSGeo conferences

Means of access:

• Attend conference (€) => attend presentation (time)

• Study at home:

• Proceedings or video recordings

• Binge-watch all conference videos ?

• A targeted search within video content is needed..

• ..and a mechanism to share the results with others.

Serious problem

„An inconvenient truth“

Klump, et. al, Data Publication in the Open Access Initiative, Data Science Journal, Vol. 5, 15 June 2006 nach Helly, Staudigel & Koppers, 2003, verändert.

Current approach of usageof (commercial) Web2.0 forvideo content:

•Fragile/volatile

•Ineffective searches

•Hardly citable

Censorship !Advertisements

Scientific-technicalOSGeo content

25

„Is YouTube really a trash bin ?“ - Yes, unfortunately

• URL citations break quickly

• What happens „after“ Youtube?

• Migration to new streaming formats ?

• Human error !

• FOSS4G 2014

• VIMEO as video repository

• „Pro account“ expired

• 100 conference recordings lost

• Long term preservation ?

Leave it to the libraries !

AV-Portal Value adding for Geoinformatics

1. Videos are long time preserved

2. Video quotes for wiki blogging

3. Web 2.0 crowdsourced thematic content mining

4. The road ahead: Linked Open Data (data mining)
