This document discusses several topics related to digital scholarship including SALAMI, a project for structural analysis of large amounts of music information using 23,000 hours of recorded music and student annotations. It also discusses semantic media projects that aim to integrate metadata throughout the content production process. Additional topics covered include social machines and computational research objects that allow machines to act as users and assist with tasks like automatic re-runs and notifications of new research.
Forethoughts (or Four Provocations) on Linked Data and Digital Scholarship
- 1. Forethoughts (or Four Provocations) on Digital Scholarship… David De Roure
- 2. Structural Analysis of Large Amounts of Music Information 23,000 hours of Digital Music recorded music Collections Music Information Retrieval Community Student-sourced Community http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/salami ground truth Software Supercomputer Linked Data Repositories
- 3. It’s web-like! “Ground Truth” Community Digital Audio “Signal” Structural Analysis
- 4. Content Navigation throughout the Content Life-Cycle • Annotation should occur within the production process • Integrating knowledge of the production workflow • Managing and exposing this metadata using modern semantic web and linked data technology • Empowering human producers and consumers semanticmedia.org.uk
- 5. "The most important thing for a thriving musical world is a bedrock of enthusiastic amateur music- making. The Bodleian Library's new project shines a light on a time when this fact was thoroughly understood, and when musicians of quite modest technical accomplishment could encompass something of the current musical styles. A knowledge of day-to-day playing for pleasure in Victorian times will reinforce twenty-first- century initiatives in public engagement...” David Owen Norris Professor of Musical Performance University of Southampton http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley/library/special/projects/whats-the-score/research-context
- 6. A Big Picture cyber/e-infrastructure More machines Big Data The Future? Big Compute Conventional Social online Computation Networking research More people
- 9. Co-Evolution of Research Objects Packs ORE OAI Workflows Research Objects W3C PROV Computational Research Objects
- 10. Notifications and automatic re-runs Executable theses Autonomic Curation New research? and repair Computational Research Objects Machines are users too
- 12. Discussion points 1. SALAMI – Human vs computer, and Web vs repository – What is in the digital library? 2. Semantic Media – End-to-End semantics, from production to delivery to cumulative value through use 3. Social Machines – Sociotechnical entities as first class citizens – Theory and practice, design and construction 4. Social/Semantic/Computational Objects – New digital artefacts (in the digital library?) – Machines are users too: computer assistance, not automation/Taylorisation

Editor's Notes
- #7: Big Data and Big Compute and Big Society!Look at astronomy for exampleDifferent rates of progress along axes – one futurological theory says we need a lot more machine to assist because machines scale further than people
