Description

Talk #1: Beyond identification: Provenance management with ORCID and CRedIT

(Paloma Marín-Arraiza, ORCID)

Abstract:
ORCID iDs have been established in the research community as an identification standard. However, in an ecosystem of links and data, the importance of using identifiers goes beyond identification. Identifiers are central to the FAIRification of metadata, to improving its quality and to determining provenance.
ORCID has as strategic objectives the improvement of metadata quality and completeness. Among others, this has involved the adoption of new work types, the integration of the CRedIT taxonomy or the adoption of ROR.
In this talk, we will delve more deeply into these developments with a special focus on traceability and provenance.

Paloma Marín-Arraiza studied Physics at the University of Granada (Spain) and got her Master's degree in Scientific Information and Communication at the same university. She also got her PhD in Information Science at Sao Paulo State University (Brazil) focusing her research in enhanced publications. Paloma has worked with non-textual materials at the German National Library of Science of Technology and as an Information Manager for persistent identifiers at the library of the Technical University of Vienna. Since March 2020, she is part of the ORCID team as an Engagement Lead, working directly with consortia in Europe and America.

Talk #2: Introduction to Contributor Roles Taxonomy

(Alison McGonagle-O’Connell, HighWire Press; CRediT Program Committee)

Abstract:
This talk will provide an introductory-level overview of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy, also known as CRediT offers the ability for recognition of the specific contributions each contributor makes to a collaborative effort such as a manuscript, a grant proposal or a project. Using 14 standard terms, each contributor's work is recognized not just at the level of 'who' but also 'what'. The CRediT initiative is a grassroots community and volunteer-run effort that is now part of National Information Standards Organization that is passionate about supporting better recognition and metadata via shifting from the framework of 'authorship' toward 'contributorship' for collaborative research efforts, publishing, and reporting. We will look at examples of CRediT adoption use cases, and practical application examples, and next steps for joining the hundreds of publishers and thousands of journals who are more accurately recognizing research contributions with CRediT.

Talk #3: An overview of Provenance and its use cases

(Carina Haupt, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration Platform (HMC))

Abstract:
The concept of provenance is well known by some, and completely unknown to others. In this talk I give a short introduction into the basics. From the definition, the W3C standard, to the storing and accessing of it. To put these basics into context, I will show some examples of how we work with provenance data within the German Aerospace Center (DLR). I will thereby focus on the work of the department of intelligent and distributed systems where we use provenance data to monitor and analyse software development processes.
