• TIB Service Portfolio: State of the art web-based services
• Investigating FOSS benefits for service operation
• Output from FOSS communities becomes part of the Library
collection
New Paradigms:
Open Science, OSGeo - and TIB

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

20. 20
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

The TIB|AV-Portal
Serving Academia and Industry – including OSGeo
TIB collects audiovisual content related to OSGeo:
• Geoinformatics-content in German
• German conference proceedings
• International submissions upon request
Benefits:
• Searchable
• Citable (via DOI)
• Sustainable use (preservation

22. 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.

„An inconvenient truth“

Vol. 5, 15 June 2006 nach Helly, Staudigel & Koppers, 2003, verändert.
Current approach of usage
of (commercial) Web2.0 for
video content:
•Fragile/volatile
•Ineffective searches
•Hardly citable
Censorship !

OSGeo content

„Is YouTube really a trash bin ?“ - Yes, unfortunately
• URL citations break quickly
• No search options „within“ the video
• No references to specific scenes
within a video
• What happens „after“ Youtube?
• Migration to new streaming formats ?
• Long term preservation ?
Leave it to the libraries !

Scientific-technical video (STV) deserves credit !
• Citability is required for scientific value
• “Reputation” is the coin in the realm of Science.
• Authors will only publish STV if the effort pays out:
• Publishing STV causes effort.
• External re-use of STV requires retrievability.
• Enable sustainable access via persistant identificators
and long term archiving.
• Communicate that STV exists:
• Distribution and circulation of metadata via catalogs
and portals
• Property rights must be enabled.
• Authors must have full control over their works.

New scientific media may require new ways
to be spread and measured
Positive Feedback
• Application by others (immediate reuse)
• Confirmation by others (QC)
• Sharing/citation by others (indirect reuse)
• Appreciation by the community (indirect reuse)
Alternative metrics

29. 29
TIB|AV-Portal content acquisition
• Action by video owner
• contacts the library
• upload
• QC / licencing
• publishing
• Action by library
• TIB monitors scientific-technical content from portals
(Vimeo, YouTube, etc.)
• For relevant content, the authors are contacted
• E.g.: FOSSGIS e.V. for recorded presentations from
FOSSGIS 2014.

Value adding for OSGeo:
What can be done now
1. Videos are long time preserved
2. Video quotes for wiki blogging (Demo 1)
3. Web 2.0 crowdsourced thematic content mining (Demo 2)
4. The road ahead: Linked Open Data
