OpenAIRE coffee break on e-accessibility
It’s all about the tools!
Tim Berners-Lee once said, “The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.” Yes, well, but why is much of the data on the web still not accessible to people with disabilities? Some might blame a lack of knowledge by authors of content, which may be compensated by training. But actually, authoring tools turn out to be a major culprit, as long as research data like tables or forms for data collection cannot usually be created accessible with common office tools.
Andreas Jeitler, responsible for Accessibility Services at Klagenfurt University Library, and Susanne Blumesberger, an academic librarian at the University of Vienna, discuss e-accessibility tools.

OpenAIRE x NI4OS-Europe series: Designing privacy and repository policies with RePol
OpenAIRE in Greece and Cyprus continue to inform the research and academic community on important aspects related to Open Science, this time through a series of webinars run in collaboration with the NI4OS-Europe project.
March is dedicated to the presentation of the tools developed in the framework of NI4OS-Europe for various groups and individuals interested in Open Science policy implementation and optimal Research Data Management. The purpose is for Universities, Research Infrastructures and Research Services to prepare for the application of Open Science and for its implementation through the European Cloud of Open Science - EOSC. Similarly, researchers will be supported in Optimal Research Data Management, with an emphasis on legal issues pertaining to various types of copyright in data, multimedia, software and derivative content.
The presence of service policies, and privacy and repository policies in particular, is increasingly expected by end-users, mandated by regulators and assessors and required for service certification. They also define a set of rules and practices that the organisational management, repository administrators and the technical staff need to establish and enforce. Here, practical guidance on the use of RePol, an open-source web tool developed within NI4OS-Europe, will be provided. RePol helps the user to create and maintain a comprehensive and clear repository policy or privacy policy for a web-based service. Through a step-by-step wizard and self-explanatory forms, the user shapes a customised policy document formulated in line with the current best practice. With such a policy, the resource owner can more easily align the service with GDPR requirements as well as those for onboarding and participation in open-science infrastructures. The resulting document may be downloaded as an XML file, additionally customized or manually edited before it is integrated into the service or repository. Individual policy elements are provided in a machine-readable format, allowing for an automated interpretation of created policies and metadata extraction.

Language: Greek
The theme of the International Open Access Week 2020, 19-25 October, is “Open with Purpose: Taking Action to Build Structural Equity and Inclusion.” The goal is to raise awareness regarding diversity, equity and inclusion of all research communities and forms of knowledge. By reshaping research and creating systems for sharing knowledge we come across with an opportunity for a more equitable, diverse and open framework for all research communities. In particular, Greece is facing important structural changes that will allow open redistribution of research data and will facilitate implementation of Open Science practices.
ARC and HEAL-link concentrated this year’s presentations on issues around research data management and personal data. The presentations will focus on national research data repositories, highlighting their contribution to paneuropean cloud infrastructures and their role in an Open Science environment. Finallt, to limit discouragement in following open practices when dealing with sensitive and personal data, the Amnesia tool for data anonymization will be explained.
Open Access Week: Towards a scholarly commons
Platform interoperability and open access transformation
|
What does it mean to be a part of the scholarly commons? According to FORCE11, the scholarly commons is an agreement among researchers and other stakeholders in scholarly communication to make research open and participatory for anyone, anywhere. It is not another sharing platform, but a set of principles, concrete guidance to practice, and actions towards inclusivity of diverse perspectives from around the globe. |

Open Science e COVID-19. Collaborare per contrastare la pandemia
Una serie di webinar e tutorial sulla condivisione dei dati su COVID-19
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
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.

Interoperability in EOSC: OpenAIRE Guidelines for repositories
Athena Research Center and University of Cyprus Library, in the context of joint activities performed for OpenAIRE and NI4OS-Europe, organize a webinar to inform about repositories’ interoperability within the EOSC ecosystem. The webinar is part of the regular series of the Greek and Cypriot NOADs that aim to spread awareness to and facilitate adoption of important and relevant Open Science principles by their academic and research communities.
This month the focus is on best practices for institutional and thematic repositories and on compliance with standards and protocols that enable effective and lossless information exchange between heterogeneous systems.
When? Thursday, 11 June 2020
Time: 11.00 am - 12.00 pm EEST
Language of presentation: Greek
Target audience: Repository managers
We are pleased to announce that guest speakers of this webinar are Antonis Lempesis and Stefania Martziou, Research Associates at Athena Research Center and members of the OpenAIRE technical team.
Accessing scientific results which are available on digital infrastructures, such as repositories, is an important Open Science practice. Adoption of policies and standards as well as training for using repositories enhance, among other things, accessibility, findability and reusability of scientific outputs. Lately, there is a growing need for research data and services/ infrastructures which produce, share and preserve this data to follow the FAIR principles. However, data heterogeneity could have a negative effect on interoperability of systems. A solution to this challenge is provided by OpenAIRE for over ten years now, through specialised services which are also supported by NI4OS-Europe and EOSC.
Repository managers will have the opportunity to be informed and explore:
- the OpenAIRE Guidelines for enhancing interoperability
- the Validator service for assessing repositories’ interoperability
- the Repository Dashboard: a web service for content providers
