Open Access Week: Public release of the OpenAIRE-DARIAH Community gateway

Open Access Week: Public release of the OpenAIRE-DARIAH Community gateway

How to make your research more visible and more connected

  • Tuesday, 20 October 2020

A paramount challenge in present-day knowledge production is to communicate research results in ways that align with our increasingly digital and also increasingly diverse research workflows.

Research discovery platforms that have been developed from EU grants and will remain open to the public are game changers in this respect. They support the visibility and discoverability of all sorts of research outputs (datasets, software, protocols,  teaching materials etc.) to showcase a broader view of scholarship and enable a greater transparency of scholarly communication.

This webinar aims to introduce an instance of them, the OpenAIRE-DARIAH Community Gateway. Built on the top of the OpenAIRE Research Graph, the OpenAIRE Community Gateways  work as single access points to a virtual space that connects metadata descriptions of all scholarly objects that are important to the given community.

The DARIAH dashboard brings together publications and a broad range of research data (digital critical editions, plain text, archived data, audiovisual data, raw data, encoded documents, software applications, source code, images, structured graphics, databases, structured text, scientific and statistical data formats) that are hosted by DARIAH services such as NAKALA and TextGrid. As such, it significantly reduces the fragmentation of DARIAH research outputs across the web. A major benefit of such a discovery environment is that it provides scholarly communities with a single entry point to DARIAH-affiliated research outputs. This entry point, in turn, is embedded into the context of a bigger collection of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage corpus enabling therefore arts and humanities researchers to find DARIAH outputs more easily, as an integral part of their discovery routine.

The webinar welcomes all the DARIAH communities, including humanities scholars, librarians, research support professionals, service providers and national representatives.

    Tuesday, 28 September 2021

L’emergenza sanitaria da Covid-19 ha reso evidente la necessità di collaborare a livello globale. Per trovare soluzioni rapide ed efficaci alla pandemia è doveroso condividere nel modo più aperto possibile dati, pubblicazioni, software e altre tipologie di risultati scientifici. Se ne parlerà in una serie di webinar e tutorial organizzati dai nodi italiani di OpenAIRE, ELIXIR, RDA e EOSC Pillar.

I webinar hanno l'obiettivo di sensibilizzare la comunità scientifica sull’importanza della condivisione dei dati per monitorare l’evoluzione della pandemia Covid-19 e, soprattutto, per la ricerca di una cura efficace. Saranno messe in evidenza disomogeneità e incongruenze nella raccolta dei dati molecolari, epidemiologici e clinici, per poi illustrare strumenti e buone pratiche dell’Open Science e dell’Open Access. 

I tutorial saranno eventi formativi in cui si mostreranno soluzioni specifiche per condividere diversi tipi di dati omici e altri prodotti della ricerca, quali software di analisi e protocolli.

È necessario registrarsi per partecipare e per anticipare eventuali domande ai relatori. Il link per la registrazione si trova di seguito.

Webinar: Disponibilità e uso dei dati epidemiologici in pandemia: difficoltà e opportunità | martedì 28 settembre 2021, 043 15.00 (CEST) | 2 ore

banner webinar dati epidemiologici

Per mesi i dati epidemiologici sono stati osservati e studiati con apprensione. Attesi, discussi ogni giorno da addetti ai lavori e non, usati dal decisore pubblico per calibrare la gestione della pandemia e le misure di emergenza a livello nazionale e regionale. La pandemia da COVID-19 ha evidenziato l’estrema importanza di questi dati per la gestione della salute pubblica. Per questo è diventato urgente capire cosa sono i dati epidemiologici, come vengono raccolti nel nostro paese, quali sono i modelli che sono stati scelti per l’analisi e come essi sono stati diffusi e messi a disposizione. 

L’esperienza maturata dall'Istituto Superiore di Sanità durante l’emergenza è un’ottima occasione per approfondire alcuni aspetti riguardanti i dati epidemiologici, per riflettere sui limiti della gestione attuale e le potenzialità di miglioramento nella condivisione dei dati. 

Se ne parlerà nel webinar “Disponibilità e uso dei dati epidemiologici in pandemia: difficoltà e opportunità”, in programma martedì 28 settembre dalle 15 alle 17, con il contributo di Flavia Riccardo, dell’Istituto Superiore di Sanità, e Stefano Merler della Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

Flavia Riccardo è un medico infettivologo con un dottorato di ricerca in malattie infettive ed una formazione in epidemiologia di campo. Ricercatrice presso l’Istituto Superiore di Sanità, è il Focal Point Nazionale presso il centro europeo delle malattie infettive (ECDC) per le malattie respiratorie virali e per le malattie emergenti e trasmesse da vettore. A livello nazionale, dall’inizio del 2020, si è occupata di situation awareness, pianificazione strategico-operativa, valutazione del rischio epidemico e sorveglianza epidemiologica delle infezioni causate dal virus SARS-CoV-2.

Stefano Merler è un epidemiologo matematico, direttore del Centro Health Emergencies della Fondazione Bruno Kessler di Trento. Si occupa dello studio dei pattern di trasmissione delle malattie infettive, applicando tecniche statistiche o di modellizzazione matematica per comprendere la storia naturale dei patogeni e il decorso clinico delle infezioni e per valutare il potenziale impatto di diverse strategie di mitigazione o contenimento. È autore di circa 140 articoli scientifici.

Q&A session

Highlight: New students discovery in the Open Schools Journal for Open Science: "Since 2009, Kepler Space Telescope has been recording small reductions (eclipses) in the light of distant stars due to the transit of planets in front of them. Our goal is to detect planets in orbit around distant stars from Kepler's mission data, following the Reading Method using two programs written by our team in programme language C. If the readings are detected and confirmed, we proceed to their analysis. characteristics of the planet: Ray, inclination, distance from the star, and especially if it is in the so-called "habitable zone" which will make it possible to maintain life. However, we have already identified such an exoplanet in orbit around the star KIC 1432789, the characteristics of which our team analyzed for the first time." - from

Amnesia

the OpenAIRE data anonymization tool

  • Wednesday, 10 June 2020

amnesia webinar 512

Speaker: Manolis Terrovitis (Athena Research Centre)
Date: June 10th 2020
Time: 2 PM CEST


Amnesia is a flexible data anonymization tool that transforms relational and transactional databases to dataset where formal privacy guaranties hold. Amnesia transforms original data to provide k-anonymity and km-anonymity: the original data are transformed by generalizing (i.e., replacing one value with a more abstract one) or suppressing values to achieve the statistical properties required by the anonymization guaranties. Amnesia employs visualization tools and supportive mechanisms to allow non expert users to anonymize relational and object-relational data. 

Amnesia is implemented in java and javascript and it can be used as a standalone application or as a service. Moreover, it provides a ReST service API to allow the incorporation of its anonymization engine to other information systems. The tool is available through OpenAIRE and it has been used in several research projects including MEDA and MyHealthMyData.

 

Dr. Manolis Terrovitis  is a Researcher at the Information Management Systems Institute (IMSI) of Research Center Athena. His research work includes big data analytics, data privacy and anonymization methods. He received his PhD from the National Technical University of Athens (2007) and has been with the Department of Computer Science of The University of Hong Kong as a post-doctoral researcher (2007-2008). In 2009 he joined IMSI, first as a post-doctoral researcher and then as a Researcher. Google Scholar reports over 1900 citations to his work, which includes publications to some of the most prestigious venues in data management (VLDB, VLDBJ, TKDE etc). He has served as president of the Hellenic Accreditation System and a member of the Board of Directors of Information Society S.A. He head of Amnesia development in Athena RC and he has been involved in several national and EU funded R&D projects.  He has worked as a consultant at the private and public sector on the design and performance optimization of information systems and he is working as a Data Protection Officer in the National Network for Precision Medicine in Cardiology and in Oncology. Moreover, he has extensive experience on the application of privacy-by-design principles in the information ecosystems.
