Abstract

Current publishing practices in academia tend to result in datasets that are difficult to discover. This is because datasets are not well-integrated across academic domains and they are often not linked to the documents that reference them. For these reasons, discovering datasets across domains can be challenging; for example, discovering archeological observations and biological specimens using the same search is not widely supported, even if both datasets share a similar spatial extent, like Mesoamerica. It is also challenging to retrieve relevant documents that reference datasets; for example, retrieving a series of field reports that reference archeological observations is typically not supported. Our work develops an extensible method for: (1) geographically integrating collections across disciplinary repositories and (2) connecting datasets to related documents. We describe a collection of spatially-referenced researcher datasets, capturing their metadata elements and encoding them as linked open data. We then leverage existing library services to formalize links from datasets to documents. The system described in this work has been deployed, resulting in an experimental open data site for the UCSB campus. Results indicate that this system can be scaled-up with support from an institutional repository in the near future.

链接研究数据集和文档的空间发现在一个空间启用的研究图书馆
目前学术界的出版实践往往导致数据集难以发现。这是因为数据集没有很好地跨学术领域集成,而且它们通常没有与引用它们的文档链接。由于这些原因,跨域发现数据集可能具有挑战性;例如,使用相同的搜索来发现考古观测和生物标本并没有得到广泛支持,即使这两个数据集的空间范围相似,比如中美洲。检索引用数据集的相关文档也是一项挑战;例如,通常不支持检索一系列参考考古观测的现场报告。我们的工作开发了一种可扩展的方法,用于:(1)跨学科存储库在地理上集成集合;(2)将数据集连接到相关文档。我们描述了一组空间参考的研究人员数据集,捕捉它们的元数据元素,并将它们编码为链接的开放数据。然后,我们利用现有的库服务来形式化从数据集到文档的链接。这项工作中描述的系统已经部署,为加州大学旧金山分校校园创建了一个实验性的开放数据站点。结果表明,在不久的将来,该系统可以在机构储存库的支持下扩大规模。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
